I just finished reworking my McLane 3 hp Briggs edger. The carb has no accelerator pump. I removed the carb, gas tank, and muffler. I removed the only jet in the carb and cleaned all the passages including the plastic tube screen. I replaced the spark plug and cleaned the other components very well. My starter pull was hanging, so I removed the cover and lubed everything up. I almost had to remove the motor to allow the cover to clear the brackets! After replacing the belt, air filter element, and greasing and lubing everything, and refilling the gas tank with fresh gas, the motor started on the second pull! Thanks for the video!

By far the best video I’ve seen on a simple fix and what to check for pretty detailed even for someone who may not work on their own equipment. Thank you so much. This is a gem of a toy from the days

Say , I have the same edger and it is lacking full power - I cleaned the carburetor and replaced the plug and gasoline - help anyone , great video 👍

My landlord gave me one cause I offered to keep up the property, first step... Check for spark; Check! Thanks & I did enjoy the video Awesome lines!!!! 😊

wow, such a easy fix. I have learned a lot of things by watching A lot of your videos.

Beautiful presentation

Thanks for the video. Gives me a reason to restore my McLane edger and use it again or fix for sale.

thanks for making this video! I have one of these but does not run. Im making a go Kart out of it! Thanks again!

Great job ❤

I just found one on the side of the road looks like its in good shape gonna see if it works tomorrow wish me luck lol

I just bought the same edger but it is used. It wouldn’t start when I bought it but I noticed it had a deteriorated and cracked rubber boot that went from the carb to that cylindrical thing beside the carb (on the blade side). I am hoping that once I fix that, it will run again. I got it for $250 Canadian today and these sell for close to $1,000 Canadian. I hope the rubber piece fixes it.

Very Convinient video. I got a McClane edger for free and I donr know if it runs or not. That my project for today.

It's 1/2" to 1" max depth per the McLane manual.

Got a mcclane mower 20 inch. My throttle linkage is not right. Could you send a pic of the springs, to the selectors and throttle arm.owners manual doesn’t have it.

if you needed to replace the diaphragm on the carb, what Model number would you need and where would you find it?

Anyone know the part number for the carb adjustment

You didn't have to change the diaphram gasket for this? Just cleaning out the gas tank and the siphoning tube?

Hola qué número de belt usa esta máquina

I'm still working on mine, it's exactly the same one you have. I replaced the pull up rope changed spark plug and oil but it still won't start. Rope jams still.

Was given one of these probably been sitting forever but it white smokes bad.. bad gasket seal or just needing good tune up ? Oil that was in it was almost milk color? Gas and oil mix maybe
