It was my pleasure

next time just have someone squirt a little fuel in the carb while u pull the starter rope, you'll get it runnin and the carb will clear itself up.

It’s for people like you that I do this for! Great job!

Really happy it helped, thanks for watching!

So happy to help!

Really glad I could help

Thanks for the sticker Brother! It looks awesome.

Just out or curiosity. Why did you need it cleaned? Also do you have prior experience with small engines or was this a learning curve for you. I wanna try cleaning mine because I think the jet is clogged

Hello Adam. No I have no experience with small engine repair at all. My Power washer wasn't able to start this year, it turned over but wasn't able to stay running for more than a second. Last year I was only able to run it with the choke on. It was revving up an down when I used it. It sounded terrible... After some research online I discovered it was a carburetor... The carburetor could have been ordered online and then replaced but I thought I'd take the challenge and do it myself. Apart from Carburetor spray it's very light on tools. The trick of using twist tie to clean the jets was a great advice... Using the camera on the phone to record the part hook-ups was useful. If I had to do it again I think I could do it in less than 30 minutes including an oil change... I'd take on the challenge. If you have a bad outcome, and I doubt you will you can always buy one online... Small Engine people are extremely expensive for some reason, and it's time consuming to take your small engine there, then return a few days later with a hefty bill (which would require me a good part of my working day to pay for). In my case the blockage was the hole in the copper screw that houses the main jet. You'll find it very rewarding to fix, and you can add the title of "Small Engine Repair Person" to your arsenal of skills. Hope that helps. Best of luck.

Thank you! I am happy I was able to help!

You are very welcome! Thanks for watching

Thanks for watching.

@@davidcurnutt9584 just trying to get this mower going 🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍 thanks for the help

Check the fuel cap for a vapor lock. If after 5 minutes of run time it dies and you unscrew the cap, does it sound like an inrush of air? If yes, replace the cap.

I can work harder on that in the future. Great observation and positive feedback. Thank you.

I was thinking the same thing but I didn't see a fuel shut off valve. I was surprised, I've always seen these on Hondas.

Great feedback. I will do that go forward.

Yes, run it dry.

Yes, take the screw out and clean that hole and the screw as well. Use carb spray. Then reassemble.

@@davidcurnutt9584 thank you i'll try that once i get home

I just ordered two studs from Honda and removed the heads with a grinding wheel.

@@davidcurnutt9584 I determined it's a 6mm x 85mm (length) bolt. I ended up buying one at my local Ace Hardware.

@@jamesleto9061 awesome, thank you for sharing!

@@davidcurnutt9584 the studs are a great idea. I just did it by stacking the assembly in reverse on the bolts and then threading in. Was easier than i expected. Great video. Told me what i needed to know. Thanks man!

The point goes down into the hole, and the other end slides into the float only 1 way. I hope that helps

@@davidcurnutt9584 the point being the rubber part?

Glad you got something out of it!

It goes between the float and the carb in that little chamber.

@@davidcurnutt9584thank you David

There is a low speed circuit on the top of the carb that usually has a screw on it that if you take it out, you can use carb spray to clean out all of its passages.

The carb is dirty. Strip it down as I did in the video and clean all the brass parts throughout. Then shoot carb spray down every hole. Reassemble, and then drain the gas before plugging the line into the carb. Put in fresh fuel. Should be good to go and it start on the first pull.

@@davidcurnutt9584 took carb out, cleaned it but it back, now it won't start. Looks like carb won't open up when it try to start it. Do not know why

@@thomasballou5091 go to the about section on my channel and shoot me an email. Let’s get this fixed.

Tarly not tattle

Actually watched it before working on this mower today. He has the knowledge but I have the good looks.

@@henrymurawskibigdogrepair Taryl, not Tarly, lol.

@@mikebones322 spellcheck does not spell words like when you say them

I actually do not. I am terribly sorry that I did not chronicle that.

Idle hands are the devils playthings.

Use a very small Allen key, you know the kind that are straight on one end then a 90 degree turn and short on the other end. Get a small one of those and try to push down on the tube from inside the throat of the carburetor. This may get it out for you.

@David Curnutt will do! I will probably end up just buying a new carb on Amazon for $16 my chickens got into the bucket I had all of the carb parts in and now I can't find the main jet or any of that. And that tube still won't come out. 🤣

Thanks for watching!

Just wanted to add that your tip on the bolts with the heads ground off was a good one , I just used some drill bits

Thanks for watching!

For the most part, yes. They won’t look identical but the concepts are the same.
