Cool! I just got a McClane edger with B&S $3.5 for only $40! Gotta clean the inside of the tank with solvent/ abrasives, red kote it, and put a new carb on.

Awesome video. Really clear and easy to follow. Now I need to find the correct repair kit with gaskets. My McClane edger was running fine last year but this spring it wouldn't run. Starts right up with starting fluid then dies. Was able to run by cutting back on choke but now quit completely. Thank you very much.

I've been working on this for two day now. I've cleaned the carb, the gas lines, gas tank, etc. still didn't start. So I decided to take it apart again today thinking I missed something and as I'm putting it back together I noticed the breather tube, one of the rubber hoses is falling apart. I'm going to get the part tomorrow, and hoping that will be the problem. What upsets me is that it's right on top. I didn't have to take the whole thing apart again. Those screws are such a pain to get to. I'm only doing this because this is my late dad's edger and has sentimental value, otherwise I'd probably not bother. I know my dad's looking down thinking...Yeah, that's my daughter fixing my edger...lol

I need your help! I finally got around to disassembling the Briggs engine to overhaul the carburetor. Carb kit gaskets and pump diaphragm seem correct. My problem: the Fuel Pickup Tube broke when I removed the carb from the tank. In my research of fuel pickup tube Part Numbers, I came up with 3 different part numbers…based upon the capacity of the fuel tank; 1QT, 2QT or 3QT. One website indicates 3 different part numbers, different for each capacity. Another site says the 2 & 3 QT use the same! None of the owners manuals that came when I purchased new provide the fuel tank capacity. I am pretty sure it is a 2 QT, based upon the dimension Briggs shows, between the carb flange mount and the end of the pickup tube. Have you run into difficulty ordering the correct fuel pickup tube part number? And finally, any tips on installing the new “press fit” fuel tube? Thank you in advance.

@JeffsLittleEngineService 2 жыл бұрын

Hi friend. Measure out 1 qt of fuel and pour it in the empty gas tank and hopefully this will help determine fuel capacity. I am thinking the tube will press in without any special tools just be careful pushing it in, maybe tap it in with small hammer if needed

Not sure where it's coming from, but with everything still attached it's leaking out by the back wheels. Any ideas on that one?

not many places it can leak from. maybe just the oil fill plug is loose.
