Thank you for your video. I'm having the same problem with the exact unit. About to take the shut off valve off now. Just drained the gas. Thanks again.

I would suggest just get extra fuel line for backup. Chances are if you have one small engine you have more. Fuel line is typically the same and ethanol fuel is going to deteriorate it sooner or later. An extra grommet and valve probably not a bad idea either provided you are organized and know where it will be when you need it lol

Yes sir, Louis. Generator, wood chipper, power washer, and two lawn mowers all have Briggs and Stratton engines. And I’m not counting the Stihl chainsaw! Back up parts is a great idea. I try to run lo-lead aviation fuel in my small B&S engines. Or ethanol free when I can find it. I’m due for another trip to the air strip for a refill. Thanks for the comment.

So Im getting fuel to the carburetor but it will not stay running. Its cranks up with carb cleaner but shuts off right away. . Do you think that its the carburetor?

Sounds like you float might be stuck. Have you pulled the bowl off? Most times the detergent in fuel will gum things up. Use ethanol free or better yet 99 octane low lead aviation gasoline. You can buy that at any small airfield. Small engines love it

Amazing how that fuel shutoff valve just appeared in the grommet. That must have been an easy insertion.

Ken, it wasn’t that difficult, but I had difficulty getting video of it, so it is what it is, right? LOL! But I do appreciate you watching and leaving me a comment. 👍

Yes sir! I remember watching that video you put up when you received it! I'm jealous, hahaha! We're looking for a new one as well. I haven't sold the "dual fuel" concept with the wife just yet. A work in progress, for sure. Thanks for watching and for the comment. God bless.

Apologies Kathy. I thought I did explain how to do the repair. But I’ll keep your comment in mind for the next time. Thanks for watching and for the helpful comment. God bless.
