Thank you so much for this video and from reading the comments below someone had mentioned the low cost of a complete carb. So that's what I did was to just get a new carb. I did disassemble my old one and sure enough the jets fell out of it! Seems the new carbs don't have jets in them anymore. Thanks again for your information though and my problem seems to be cured!

Glad you could hear it all, I did a re release of this video with improved editing to make it better, see my last 5-6 vids to get that one.

So I had this problem with my John Deere D140 riding mower as well. It has 189 hours of operation. I took the carburetor off and and took it apart. O rings looked good and no dirt. Gaskets were clean. I put everything back in place. Long story short, it need up being a dirty fuel pump and a clogged fuel supply hose. I shot compressed air into the line and I heard a BANG. It was the dirt that shot out of the fuel supply hose. Installed everything back and mower runs like new. $25 fix.

is this the same on the 21hp v twin briggs engine in the craftsman mowers?

A very good video, John. I thin those O rings were messed up by the ethanol you used in your FUEL. I use nothing but premium non-ethanol fuel in all my outdoor power equipment. Four cycle gas gets one ounce of B&S AFT fuel treatment and one ounce of MMO per gallon of gas. I get my premium non-ethanol gas for $3 a gallon, locally. A little more costly than regular ethanol gas, but it eliminates "most" gas issue problems we find in two and 4 cycle engines these days due to the ethanol.

Great video !

Excellent video.

GOOD Presentation!

Great video! I have the exact same carburetor but the emulsion tube shroud is black and does not have the two jets you showed, the engine ran fine until recently and surges and runs only with the choke out. I thoroughly cleaned the carburetor and replaced all the Orings. Do you know if any of these Nikki carbs have version’s with no jets? What do you think is going on? Thanks much!!!

Very informative

Great video very helpful thank you

Great video thanks

My sons would start and run about 3 seconds and die. We pulled the fuel line off at the carb and made sure it had fuel getting to the carb. It did. So I pulled the fan guard and shroud bolts loose, you do not have to completely remove the bolts, only back them out. Then I removed the intake manifold and carb bowl. I cleaned the carb out and blew out the jets and reassembled the engine. She starts and runs like new

Good information--that was my problem and I got it fixed. However, in my case the screws holding the carburetor bowl were so firmly held with locktite that the screw heads disintegrated. I had to drill out the screws (Grabit did not work) and tap new holes to get the bowl back on.

Very well explained, tks.

What about loss of power, some surge at low idle, and popping sounds while running? I actually sprayed some carb cleaner at the intake horn and some puffed back in my face, almost like a valve issue.

Thanks just want I needed to know.

thanks iam getting closer will report how i did it for othersthat might have these trobles on the 26 els engine

Pretty darn good video

I need the part the two jets fit in + the new rubber O-Rings & the gasket that in sits on. I’ve tried everything but replacement of these remaining parts.

great info

Need help. My motor would run and then dies on me, but if I don't keep on priming the fuel it'll stay running. I replace the fuel pump, but it's still cuts out if I don't keep on priming it to get fuel into the motor.

Very detailed but easy to understand! Thank you.

Good man 👍

when installing those jets the best thing to use is a tapered toothpick!! you can push in the jet & it will hold the jet !! jets are very soft you may actually do damage to them using those metal pick tools,plus they slide ooff the pick tool.

Great video. I think it will help me a bit on a 92 MTD with a 18.5 horsepower V-twin Briggs & Stratton which is idling low and high. Infact when I throttle it down it shuts off without turning the key off. Also after shutting it off it will generally give off a big backfire so I'm guessing it's these little o-rings. I'm going to have to get the exact motor model #'s to figure out what I need. I fiddled with idle adjustment screws a while back and it helped at first but it's right back at surging again and while mowing it causing a lot of deck wobble. Mower has cut 2-3 acres once every week or 2 during mowing season since 92 & I've never had to do anything to it other than regular oil changes (don't use oil filter) & has to be a record breaker with nearly 25 years of cutting this very large yard. I like to make things last as long as possible & it's feasible providing it's made with good parts to start with. Thanks for sharing.

You seem very wise on this engine. Why on earth do you suppose a twin cylinder engine like this would have 2 different size jets in the first place? I also have a carb like this and you are right, it has 2 different sized jets, but it doesn't seem to have a "progressive" Idle, power circuit that would benefit from 2 different sized jets.

The vacuum advance is doing that to maintain the full engine torque. Look for a bad vacuum leak on the manifold tube or upper carb seals. With a vacuum leak, under no load the engine is making very little vacuum to run the fuel pump and carb mixture, under heavy load vacuum increases enough to outdo the leaking spot.

Trouble shooting a new john deere D130 less then 20hrs on it. backfries within 1 min of starting and backfires in any throttle position. To me it sounds like fuel re-igniting in the exhaust? Any recommendations.

If your holding the carb body upside down, and looking at it the float hinge upward ( at the top) then the large jet goes on the right. Or looking at it with the needle jet north of the 2 jets the large jet goes to the right and small jet to the left.

Жыл бұрын

If you still have surging, there is a quad O ring assembly under the fuel emulsion tube and then behind your choke butterfly is a flat seal with 6 holes in it. These two seals get mushy over time. Mine had the choke return spring and it took a bit of figuring how it worked. It holds the butterfly open normally and when the throttle is put up into choke position it pulls the butterfly down to choke position.

So Stratton engines are pretty reliable with minimal maintenance

I'm having a big problem with this. The jets will not fit back in with the new o-rings. Yes, I took the old o-rings off. Twisting with pressure, brute force; nothing works; the jets will not go in. I tried oiling them up first; still no go. The kit I used is the same part number: #54832 for Briggs & Stratton Nikki V Twin Carburetor as is listed in your link. Anyone else have this problem?

Thank you. My jd was doing the same thing. I can fix it myself. God bless you. Jhusmc

Im having this exact issue. My Urgent question is when you add the new O-ring between the jet stem and the base intake housing, it leaves nearly an 8th inch gap between the carb housing and the bowl. I'm afraid if i tighten the bowl it'll break something. I added an O-ring that was thinner and got a 16th" gap yet the problem persists. Should i trust the stem and the intake housing to withstand the pressure of crushing the 0-ring that far?

@JOHNDANIEL1

Check to be sure you did not unscrew the jet housing causing it to be lower thus causing the gap. The bowl oring is 2.125mm and as long as the pick up housing is not loosened it should go back together with 1/8 of space from float.

I'm trying to understand something here as it relates to it hunting and surging. I've never had an engine hunt and surge unless it was blocked somewhere, but you're saying if gas is leaking past an o ring it may haunt and surge in that case? Why is that ? My buddy has a carb where the plunger is not working it doesn't spring back to shut off fuel, that shouldn't be a problem when it's running should it?

@JOHNDANIEL1

The hunt and surge is due to the jumping back and forth between rich and lean due to flood and starvation. And a bad fuel cut solenoid won't do that, a set of deteriorated orings will and historically are number one cause.

Vacuum leak. Fix the tube from the valve cover to the carb

My 24hp Intek Nikki (for Craftsman DYS4500) hunts and surges like mad after I took it out of storage (3 years). It was stored properly, but I still had to take the carb off and clean the bowl and shutoff before it would start. It did that the last 2 years I had it before putting it in storage. Cleaning just that always let it start. When it started hunting & surging, I installed new jets for my alt. It ran great for a few mows then started doing it again. I didn't address it before I put the mower in storage (other issues to address in moving away). When I cleaned the carb, one of the jets fell out. So, new O rings are on the list. But my shutoff is not inline with the nozzle. There is not an O ring around anything of the shutoff either. Never was. Is there supposed to be? The shutoff piston is small and at 90deg/perpendicular (meaning the elec conn is parallel) to the nozzle. Engine is B&S 445677-0827-E1. However, the parts the Sears has illustrated for it are NOT altogether correct. There is no nozzle O ring at the shutoff. There isn't an extension tube either. The shutoff piston is positioned 90deg to the nozzle. The float bowl does not have a flat rim all around the edge, but only 2 ears where the screws pass through. *Taking it out of storage, I replaced plugs, oil & filter, air filter & pre, fuel filter & battery. When it would turn over but not start and flooded, I removed carb & cleaned thoroughly. Then it started. But hunts & surges throughout. Only in pulling choke partially (may be nearly half way) out could I get it to run sufficient to mow. It returned after a time though and then nothing helped. I don't think the fuel pump is an issue; Fuel filter level never fluctuated.* At a loss right now.

Strangest thing. I left it sitting undisturbed (not by choice) for a week. Decided to give it a try again. Most of the issue is gone. It never made any attempt at all to surge except when the blade was disengaged, and then only mildly so. Thank for the input though.

Excellent video even if it is 7 years old now. Grateful for the sizes of the screws that need taking off. Major surprise seeing that o-ring so bloated out. They don't make Buna like they used to!

My ltx1000 backfires and dies after about 10 to 15 from startup. It runs fine before then. Could it be the same problem

Check the gas cap to make sure it's not plugged up.

"not a metric motor" ... except I found the valve rocker arm bolts are. Why ???

I had issue with my motor surging and loosing power after an hour running. I mean each week I filled the tank and it worked fine for an hour then the problem came back. Turned out to be an insect in the fuel tank. Hard to believe but somehow it was taking that long to block the outlet in the tank. You'd think the fuel would be sloshing about too much. But that was it. Meanwhile I'd tried new fuel, carb gaskets, fuel filter, plugs, vac hose even the ignition coil got swapped. I think the bug climbed into the spout on the Jerry can and was washed into the tank when I filled up.

Same thing happened to me. Suspected a line blockage. I drained tank into container(took a while), then blew the line so that anything in it was blown into tank, so I could verify what the cause of the blockage was, and then removed the bug and trash from tank. Had already cleaned carb, replaced fuel filter and spark plug, and replaced magneto and cleaned flywheel in prior 6 months. Fuel line was last possible cause. Lawn tractor is over 20 years old - the service over past 6 months was first service involving new parts and dirty fuel line it had had.

It looks to me like it has had ethanol gas ran in it. This is the number one killer of these types of carburetor mainly the plastic and especially the O rings. Apparently the ethanol gas dissolves the O rings.

Trick put rubber hose our vise grips so you don't crack the fuel line....myself I just take the fuel line off and plug it with dowl pin or cut off a bolt with a smooth shoulder and use that to stop the fuel from leaking from the gas tank.

Golf Tees work great too, depending on the ID of the fuel line,

Quite the “editorializing “ get to the point, HELLO, CARB R & R!

Hey i don't know often you check your mail. but I was looking for a video that might explain why the fuel is going into the crankcase. I also have the Intek 25 hp. The fuel pump is mounted on the shrouds and the straight line would fit those. I've already rebuilt this carb last year and it still surges. All my ports are cleaned with new parts. I was shocked to see the fuel inside, but when I would crank it up and run it..she would be out of fuel real quick. With the smaller 6hp briggs I wouldn't hesitate to just change the carb for a new one and be done with it.

I have seen 3 motors from 5hp to 13hp Briggs so far this season with this problem. It's the carb period. The inlet needle is not sealing 100% when the bowl overfills the air intake fills up then gas runs down on top of the piston around the rings and fills the crankcase. Check the float level. The float should sit level when the carb is turned upside down. Seeing as you already put a new needle and seat the float level must be it. Metal floats can be bent by needle nose pliers and plastic floats can be adjusted very carefully with a heat gun. Test the float before any adjustments any gas in the float will cause this problem test it by first placing under water and watching for air bubbles then shake the float by your ear and listen for water splashing. It's a simple fix if you can pinpoint why carb is not sealing up tight. This is the only few problems I know of that will cause this issue. Find me on FB @Gilbertsmallengine if you need any more help.

Also once the crankcase fills completely with gas the motor WILL seize. Don't worry it's only hydrolocked and not seriously damaged. Unplug the spark plug and run the motor slightly backwards by hand, grab the blade, pulley, flywheel etc. then backwards and forwards empty the gas out of the crankcase fill it with clean oil fix the carb and its done.

Mine did this too. it'd easily start without choking it, but then soon die. I found my crankcase full of gas thinned oil too. When it dies, if you remove the air filter cover & remove the air filter, can you look down & see any liquid (wet) gas down in the neck of the carbs air intake at all? It "should" be dry down there. Mine did this & I had to rebuild the carb. so basicaly the float sat down lower than recommended, so lower down into the bowl than per the specks, so it would cut-off the gas sooner. Basically, you'd be trying to lower the fuel level in the bowl. Also, make sure the O-ring in the fuel lift tube is also sealing very well. Once I got the fuel level lower, my mower ran fine & it still had plenty of fuel despite the lower bowls lower gas level. BTW There are some very simple "tricks" to help set the level lower too. Hope it helps DL

How do I know if a carb is a Nikki carb? I can't see a name on mine.

It's the brand of carb used on over 90% of all non-honda style engines.

If you get stuck, try the manual. Its cheaper here amzn.to/2rdRWAR and they are even working on a digital version. Covers all V twins like I am showing. Best money spent now days.

My problem is that one of the cylinders is not firing. I have checked the spark and valves and they are okay. I suspected that it does not get gas and cleaned the carb same way you have done but the problem is still there. What could the problem be?

@JOHNDANIEL1

+Kimutai Rop Pull the spark plugs and wires then with choke on and throttle full speed spin the engine to see if fuel spits out the plug holes. Otherwise you have a weak coil and may get spark but so low a voltage it only will fire one cylinder consistently.

As an easy test, you don't have a testing multi meter for the coils, you could fairly easily just swap both coils, left & right, and see if the problem also flips from L to R cylinder. If not, then you may have a block passageway in the carb. Hope it helps

hi, very interesting video would it be the same for the Husqvarna ct135. it was made in 2002/3. iv'e done the fuel line, filter, air filter new plug. but it still struggling, it seam's to be raceing new to ride on mower's but love to have ago at anything. B&S engine number 31g777-0193 twin carb.

Sounds like a carb issue, possible a vacuum problem too. But as I remember, those engines were 17.5 horsepower single cylinder. The carb would be so different than a Intek v twin. But the Oring issue in the carb bowl would be similar, just a different jet and fuel cut oring size. www.manualslib.com/manual/791751/Husqvarna-Ct135.html

well I had gone through the fuel pump again and even purchased a new one to be sure. I did find a small tear in the vacuum line and put some marine grade sealant. The tractor cranked and i cut grass until it ran out of fuel. I added more and noting it would run for a second then quit. I let the tractor sit through the night then tried it again this morning. I pulled the fuel line and once again, no fuel coming through the line. I turned the key until i seen that the pump was working. I connected the line back up and ran great. I finished cutting the lawn and will see how it acts in the morning. I added the fuel shot off cause fuel kept leaking into the crank case thus forcing me to change oil...grrr. Any advice would be helpful. This mower isn't mine and I would love to get it out of my yard. I only had to replace a tire with a tube and replace the mandrel and blades. This has become quite the project.

Once upon a time MTD who is the maker of many brands had a mesh screen in the fuel tanks. It would cause such problems. They also used fuel line that would de-laminate in a few years. But your actually sounds like a severe carbon build up possibility in the cylinders causing hydra-lock vacuum which would explain some after run fuel issues. Try this stuff treatment in the fuel amzn.to/2qwTQZH. Also do a VERY gentle blow back into the fuel tank and look for a plastic wrap like debris to pop up after treating the fuel system.

I have a new 25 hp Briggs zero turn Troy-Built and am having what I think is another shutoff problem. This is not an intech engine, or at least I cannot find anything that says intech, What it does say that it is a Professional series engine. If tat means anything to you. I have had this problem since it was brand new in 2016. After I change the oil the engine will run a few minutes and shut down. The factory rep says it is a gas problem so the warrantee doesn't help me. What I believe is that when the 50 hour warning comes on reminding me to change the oil, well then I change the oil. I just noticed that the warning is still flashing after I changed the oil. Could it be thinking that it is out of oil and shuts down? I have heard that on that 25 hp engine it is supposed to shut off rather than burning up the engine when it runs out of oil. Is that true? Am I missing something, do I have to reset the warning? I have not done that in the past. If so how do I reset it? And will that work. The guy at the shop insisted that I pull the wire on the carb solenoid and that seems to have worked all last season. Well I just done my spring maintenance and, yes it is back to its old tricks. It shut off in the back 40 and I had to walk all the way back! Frustrating! Can you help me?

+Larry Thompson Your hour meter is bad. It's a high tech version with 30 Meg memory. It is not resetting and it was probably bad from day one.

Also there is a gasket inside the niki carb that likes to swell up blocking the holes making the engine run rich....so if its running rich .....which should be replaced at the same time.....hate doing the job twice.

My preference is to take the Briggs Nikki carb off and throw it in the trash. I had a older Craftsman 22 horse mower that I had for over 12 years that I made a intake for and put a Harley Davidson Golf Cart 1 bbl carburetor on it. It got better fuel use and much better serviceability. Its really simple to use a old Harley Carb on many small engines but the filter was a bit of a trick in tubing.

Well my engine finally runs smooth...now I can't get the engine to choke and run. I always have to pull the air filter and spray carb cleaner and then it starts great...What is the deal...grrrrr

Really good information. But please do something with the camera, after a few minutes I started to get motion sickness. I continued to listen but stopped actually looking at the video. Thanks for your help.
