I came for the how to, stayed for the comedy! Its obvious you guys are professional and know your stuff. It takes a certain type of person to put the comic spin on things. Just GENIUS!! Keep up the videos guys, Im hooked! Thumbs up for the UK!

Dear Taryl, After many successful uses of carbitrator spray, fixing 2 Briggs mowers today I bought at auction--I was able to get the starting fluid right in my eye. I did not know the old joke that I SHOULD HAVE SEEN IT COMING. It stung just like you said it would, and I wear prescription glasses. I was 3 for 3 today because you are a great video making teacher and comedian!

I have always wanted to do something like this for years and years. I am 62 now and your video made me go for it. No problems at all and I was 100% successful. You made it happen! I finally saved my self some money vs the dreaded shop repair. Great work man and thank you so much. It was fun too. Keep it up! 😁

Absolutely, best teaching video I have ever seen! It is so important that you show clear, close views AND explain and explain the purpose of each part. Now, I think I will be able to get my year-old lawn mower started. Mistakenly stored it last fall with gas still in it.

@gearhead366 26 күн бұрын

I just bought a used mower with one of these carbs, so I've been watching a few videos on them. This is the best of the bunch. None of the others have mentioned the ball in the main jet that can be removed.

2 years old and still helping people! The carbs have become even more plasic here in 2020. The air filters are a little different and the whole rig is 2 screws fewer... The float pin is now a plastic part with a rubber tip. It also slots into the float itself before reseating into the bowl. I skipped through the fluff straight towards the part I needed to see. That being said you had an exceptionally thorough explanation and patience to allow for proper camera angles inside the Carburtraitor (

Just wanted to say, This video helped me fix a Crapsman push mower( mine had the primer button) that ran fine last summer, wouldnt start this year. I took it apart before watching your video, and thought i had cleaned everything, still wouldnt start unless i sprayed starting fluid in ( then it would run and die in seconds). well first time i didnt take that little silver ball out, it looked clean and i still sprayed some carb cleaner. sure enough take it apart again after watching this video something was stuck in that exact place Taryl mentions as a common spot. Thanks for my dinner!!!

I had a similar problem that a piece of do doo was stuck up that jet .. well I tried blowing it out with air and that little ball flew out and was lost. Lol. Glad I had an extra carb for parts. Thanks dactyl for the update. ... we must be the same age cause I've never seen a motor blown from spraying carb clean to get it started also. 40 years !!! 69er here.

Taryl. Love your vids, man. I watch them all the time on my internet screen. On this vid, I would like to suggest a helpful tip. At 15:20, when the screw is being driven into plastic, turn the screwdriver backwards, until you feel the screw "drop in" to the already cut threads, then drive 'er home. You'll reduce the risk of cutting new threads (weakening the existing threads) and striping out the screwhole! Thanks for the tour of this carb. Never seen one before. Keep the vids and comedy a-comin!

This is a great running, auto-choke (that actually works) engine but this carb seems to be very finicky when it comes to clean fuel. Thanks Taryl.
