Thanks to your comment about "90% of the time it's the fuel jet" I went back to have ANOTHER look at my fuel jet. I didn't realize the hole through the bottom where the fuel flows through was SO small. When you look at it initially the large opening make you think the hole is also big - but it is VERY SMALL. So when I took it off again I passed a very small wire through it and there was the tiniest amount of junk. This is what I missed the first time. Once I cleaned it up THOROUGHLY I put it back and now my Snow Blower runs like a dream! So THANK YOU for making that point CLEAR! You did it for me! Have a great New Year!

BTW My snow blower is a Simplicity 1226E which is big enough to blow away a small car and I love it! It has the Briggs & Stratton. Me and a few friends are wondering exactly WHAT causes that stuff that looks like vaseline that builds up over the summer and clogs the jet. The suspicion is that it is related to the ethanol in the gas. It appears to be like a gel and the smallest amount in that jet hole and the monster won't run!

Great channel! Had a Briggs running a little ruff after a few minutes. I followed your advise that 9 times out of 10 the carbs are clogged at the main jet and that was the case with mine. I didn’t even have to remove the carb. If your ever in Northern Illinois I owe you a beer! Thanks!!

I also like steel wool for heavily soiled carb bowls. Couple other things to add. Wear safety glasses around carb cleaner and use outdoors. Stuff wreaks. Don't use any object larger than the hole for cleaning you don't want to enlarge them. Especially on the main jet. Also, inspect the tip of the needle for a groove it indicates if it needs to be replaced. One other thing. I dont like to get carb cleaner on the rubber gaskets, especially on older ones. Seems to dry them out and they'll fail. Remove before cleaning, carefully with a razor blade

helpfull vid. my Briggs and Stratton has a solid bolt that holds that bottom cup on. is there couple different carbs?

You're Welcome...

Thanks to the power of KZread. I was watching your video because I thought my pressure washer engine was going to need a full carb cleaning. Then the first thing you mentioned about the main jet bolt in the bottom of the cup sounded like it could be my exact problem. The engine would run for 1-2 seconds and then cut off. So it wanted to run, but was acting like it would get no fuel. Let it rest 30 seconds and it would crank again for 1-2 seconds. Since that bolt is at the lowest point and the natural place for sediment to collect, it explained my problem. I didn't even have to take the carb off to check it. And boy was it clogged. A good cleaning and put back in and the engine cranked and ran with no problem. Thanks a bunch.

I cleaned my stinky hole with my ex wifes toothbrush the day before she split.

5 years later, You da Man!!!!!!!! I gotta Troy Built TBWC-28, 223cc B&S, with a carb issue. Bought a new carb, because they're cheap, I'll clean the old one, like you showed, and keep it as a spare. Very nice tutorial!!!!!!!!!!
