Hi Steve. I found this video which shows the carbureator on the chipper. It explains how it works. The knob on the end which pulls out is really the choke.

Intake gasket 27355 diaphragm kit 395021 Carb to tank gasket 272409 I find myself spelling gasket gasquet because I used to kayak near a town in the farthest north of coastal California you can get to.

Remember, these things were designed for leaded gas. On mine, the jet for the needle valve was plugged solid, solid, like metal. Didn't even look a hole in the jet. Couldn't tell one used to be there. I tried poking a needle through it and nothing would clean it up. Finally I used a plumbers aceteline torch (B Tank) and that worked, along with a needle. Thing is, it got the brass so hot that it became soft and squished on the side I was holding the pliers on. Not so big a deal, I just heated it back up and quickly threaded it back into the side of the carb. Don't know if I'll ever get it out again, but it's working right now, anyway. Instead of taking the whole carb off, I just used my air compressor and blasted 180 Lbs of air into every little jet and hole I could find. I also dumped all the old gas and cleaned the tank with spirits. Left about 1/2 an once of spirits in the tank when I filled it back up with supreme unleaded gas. Worked really well. Thing runs like new, now.

If your talking about the 2 pickup tubes with the screens on the bottom? The long one pull fuel out of the tank, then the pump (diaphragm on the side) puts it in the little chamber under the carburetor then is drawn into the carb through the smaller pickup tube. so yeah, it is constantly pumping fuel through the long one. The part numbers are dependent on tank size. Thanks for Watching!!!

@steveandrews8301

"..then is drawn into the carb through the smaller pickup tube", you said. I don't understand. The smaller pickup tube is shorter, - how can it draw fuel into the carb if the tank is over half empty? I was thinking it might be an overflow tube / gas return line, I'm just guessing, though, Please explain a bit better; I want to understand this, too, - I have a carb on my tiller just like it, I'm trying to get to run. Thanks! And great video, and much needed!

@fnaguitarplayer9

@@steveandrews8301 I don't remember saying that, but I may have said it wrong, how these work is, the fuel pump draws fuel up through the long tube then pumps it out into the reservoir where the short tube goes in, the carb will draw gas in through the short tube out of the small reservoir. The reservoir has open sides so it is constantly being over filled and just spills over in the tank, works similar as a bowl on a float a type carburetor. If it didn't have the reservoir, like some of the early 2hp (and others) carbs didn't have, it makes them alot harder to start since it would have the pull the fuel up clear from the bottom of the tank. Hope this makes sense, and sorry about the confusion. Thanks for Watching!!!

Hi, I have a 5hp Briggs with this carb on my mini bike. It would only start with starter fluid. I took the carb apart spraying everything with carb cleaner twice now. But still wont start and run. The piece inside the screw with the spring wasnt plugged. How can I tell if the diaphragm is bad? It wasnt torn. Thanks

@fnaguitarplayer9

4 жыл бұрын

Sometimes the diaphragm will be stretched and won't pump correctly. A common problem on these is the small chamber where the shorter pickup tube goes in, will sometimes rust up and have pin holes. Its supposed to stay full of gas so it won't have to fill up the chamber first to start, after its running, shut it off, then remove the gas cap and look inside, if you see gas dripping down from it, then i'd say that is your problem. you can actually take these tanks apart at the seem and epoxy it on the inside, its a pain but can be done. also, if its running to lean these are hard to start as well. Hope this helps. Thanks for Watching!!!

At 4:37 in, while looking down into the carb, between the female thread housing for the air breather and the pull out choke, in the bottom of the choke housing is a small pin like item, about an 1/8” in diameter. What is the purpose of that part? Mine leaks fuel when I pour directly into the carburetor base. Do I need to replace the entire carburetor?

@fnaguitarplayer9

4 жыл бұрын

Its actually a rivet that holds the slide out choke in, if that is what your talking about. Its not really meant to seal, and they will also leak out of the vent tube on the side sometimes as well, especially if the rubber elbow is cracked. I wouldn't worry to much about it to be honest, these carburetors are really expensive, over a 100 dollars, and the cheap 15 dollar ones are for the new style tanks and won't work on these. These carbs are also bad about leaking between the carb and tank. Great carbs, just really picky at times! hope this helps! Thanks for Watching!

Can anybody tell me if the "oil breather tube" is necessary for the engine to work properly. I'm currently working on a rototiller engine with a similar engine/carb. (Briggs 5 hp). I think it's a newer version though - it's the kind where it has the throttle and choke levers on a little 'control panel'. It is missing the oil breather tube, and when I checked an online parts catalog, they list the tube as "obsolete and unavailable". Mine still has the retainer clip for the tube under one of the carb-to-tank screws.A guy in another similar video about pulse-jet carbs casually mentioned that the port on the carb for the breather tube was plugged with silicone, but didn't say any more about it.

IT will run fine without it, it doesn't affect performance or power, its just a emission control and if any oil is pushed through it will spill on the ground instead of going through the engine and can let water in the oil.

The model number should start with 13 on the 5hp, you can usually go by that, (that represents displacement, 13 cubic inches) there wasn't a whole lot of changes on these, as long as it has the same carburetor setup its the same, there were changes on piston rings though. And you should be able to find parts on tulsa engine warehouse or off of ebay if you just need a few parts. You can upgrade these to electronic ignition for not much more than the cost of putting new points in, by buying a magnetron coil for it, buy one for a model 13 made around 1983.

1. Where can I get an air filter for this type of engine...? Mine was rotted and fell apart when I pulled it out of the housing, and I can't find a replacement for it anywhere. 2. I have a 5-hp B&S engine looks just like the one in the video except there is a spring that goes to the choke to adjust the choke as the engine warms up. The auto-choke kills the engine after it's warmed up, and I don't see how to adjust it anywhere at all. If I can grab the choke fast enough before it dies, barely pull on it ever so slightly, to open it just a hint, the engine will come right back to life, but after a minute or so, will try to die again, and I have to repeat the process to keep it running (if I can catch it in time). It would be a great engine if that choke didn't move in too far after it warmed up like it does. Any idea how to adjust one of these pull-type chokes with the spring that auto adjusts the air/fuel mixture while it runs...? I can't find any info on this anywhere, but it looks like the choke on the engine in the video above, though it extends out from the carb just a little further, and has a spring attached to it that pulls it in as the engine warms up.

Sounds like the carburetor is trying to run to lean, the carb needs cleaned and or adjusted, if its cleaned thoroughly and still does it, it might need a rebuilt kit. Thanks for Watching!!!

What if the bowl cup fell off inside the tank? That’s what happened to mine.

They have a screen on supply tube They fall out often or there really stopped up with rust and hard to clean

Great video guitar I never was a fan of those but when they work right tgere very good

Good afternoon friend ... hey, sorry, my water pump engine won't get gasoline ... the tank will be covered as I do to fix it.

Where did you purchase your carb rebuild kit at?

You can get them off of ebay or amazon or from mfgsupply. several other places have them, the best kit i've found is made by primeline, better quality parts, will cost a few dollars more but i think its worth it. Thanks for Watching!!!

It can be a real pain on these carbs, its the only thing i don't like about them, you may be able to use a offset screwdriver on it or use the open end parts of the wrench on it. Alot of people change them out to a socket head/ allen drive screw. Thanks for Watching!

That’s just what I was looking for. I really appreciate the fact that you’re liable to take the hard parts and say do it off camera. It makes you look like such a professional. Hopefully some child will think they’re going to do this and when they can’t get that bottom bolt out of the carburetor they’ll show up at your doorstep with a flaming bag of dog shit.

You can buy a brand new carb for $16 on Amazon or Ebay.. Just saying..

He is exactly right , I bought the one off Amazon , and the holes Do Not lineup ! Not worth making mod to tank, my problem is leaking fuel from gasket in between tank and carb I made my own , no luck Then I coated it on moto seal solvent gasket maker ... Made it alot better but still weeped out Bought the OEM gasket and still leaks slightly more than when I had the one with gasket maker .... It's a late 60s early 70s cub cadet snowblower Briggs 5hp , my guess , the tank or carb is slightly warped ... Not enough for me to worry about

When I kill the motor has comes out from the pull choke.
