Briggs and Stratton 17.5 Won't Start? Carburetor Easy Fix

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Tutorial for Briggs and Stratton repair on 17.5HP Engine. Engine won't start or runs rough. This one is the manual choke model via throttle control. Approx 2018 year model. This is Usually caused by leaving gas in system to long and carb will jell up and engine won't run or a piece of trash made it past the fuel filter. This repair can usually be done Free! Or Very Cheap. Of course in Extreme cases, this method may not work and replacement of carburetor is necessary.. but this will work 90% of the time!

    @@JLPicard440 I also wanted to tell you that my emulsion tube was really jammed in there. I couldn’t push it past the opening in the barrel. My solution was to feed bailing wire through it, just double the fed- end over, wrap the long end on a rack post and quick tug about 3 times to free it. Just in case that helps anyone else.

    Sweet vid! Thanks So I’m doing a tune up/trying to correct surging but @8:00 you say the main jet doesn’t always thread out to get at the emulsion tube. Mine will not and I’m afraid to damage it. I guess I’ll bypass it for now but I’d really like to correct the surging, any ideas?

    Yes the surging may be caused by the low speed jet. I don't remember exactly where it is on this one, but those little holes inside the Venturi are usually part of that circuit. If you google "low speed jet surging" something should come up about what I mean. I hope that helps.. There are other things that could cause it, but I've found that to be most common.

    I washed my 2017 17.5hp Troy-Bilt Pony riding mower and now having issues with flooding and fuel coming out of muffler!! I noticed wires are missing from fuel solenoid!! I found a white wire, but think there should also be a black! How is this part wired to the mower?

    HI! Without seeing it I can't be sure. Sometimes there an o-ring on the needle valve for the idle, sometimes there's on o-ring on the emulsion tube, but I don't think this one uses one... It doesn't go on the bottom of the bowl bolt does it? Usually that's a flat gasket.

    You took off the top of the engine housing but did not show the complexity of putting it back in place. Two spacers fell out when I removed it and I have no idea where to put them. I put the top back without them and destroyed the fins or restart. Also, I could not refit the air filter so I knew something was amiss. AJC

    HI, sometimes I don't show how it goes back because it goes together exactly the same way it came apart. It''s 5 bolts and a plastic clip. I reviewed the video and there are no spacers involved in taking that off.
