Thanks mate..

Works every time. For the price it’s a no brained. Good one my friend.

Tidy fix and we'll cheap. Nice to see Riley happy

I usually just drill them out a bit and clean it really good. Riley Boy looks like he has had a growth spurt. He is getting tall.

Yes another good runner 😊😊

Hi Mick and Riley. Love your shirt Riley, great colours. Excellent vid as usual. Cheers from Aus. Stay safe.

Mick,you didn't even have to get down and dirty on that repair! 👍

Never doubted it Mick, nice fix

Supposedly there is a difference, but we use 596521 jet in every one we get in the shop and it always works. I think they are all the same and work exactly the same.

Great vid Mick nice fix mate 👍🏻👌

Real good stuff!

Nice fix 👍

Agree with you on the copy carbs, they are dreadful. I managed to drill the jet out just enough to stop the hunt but a new jet is the way to go as the brass used seems to be super hard and breaks the micro drill bits with ease. They should all be the revised jet with a slightly larger hole too now. Well worth the extra money, lot less hassle.

Didn't realize the plastic things were different. Did you ever drill one out? Rileyboy is looking good. I think he would like a wife beater tanktop and some of those tattoo sleeves that you can wear for halloween. Nice live chat yesterday. Bob

Thanks for popping by my friend.. hell yeah Riley boy with tattoos and a wife beater.. does it get any better.. yeah I have drilled them out in the past with some mixed results

now that's a good fix Mick well done, now on the old part could the jet be drilled out ?

A trick sometimes suggested for a part-blocked carb is to rev the engine (possibly overriding the governer) then fully block the air intake. The engine will soon die but in doing so will pull a good vacuum through all parts of the carb which can help shift blockages.

How's she goin'? Hey there Riley Boy!!! Nice fix on the surging Mick. I have a Kohler 17HP that hunts like crazy at high speed and runs smooth as silk at low speed. There is a brand new carb on it that came from China. Adjusting the hi speed jet is usually the way I resolve this, but the new carb has a fixed hi speed jet. No access to it all. It was a cheap carb and I guess now I know why. LOL Thanks for sharing and take care!!!

I installed a fuel valve years ago and still no issues. Still running the original carburetor.

Do not buy the "who flung dung" copies. However there are other videos with micrometer drills out there suggesting you give the carb a little bit of a fettle. It worked for a mower I had previously +20 thou up the main jet and it cleared it just fine.

easy little fix mick top job 👍

@@themowerman doing a video on this mower and I literally just recorded an extra clip to mention that I’ll try this, watch this space lol. The only thing I don’t know is, if your new cartridge drilling is the same as the one in the old style with the jet. It may run pig rich lol. For a reference, the hole under the brass pilot is 1.2mm on these old cartridges, I’m not sure if they are that large on the new ones or if it’s a tiny very fine hole like a typical pilot jet at 0.35mm? From your video the hole looks quite large. Either way, I’ll let you know in the morning.

Hi Mick. Here is a question for you. I have a new Allett Kensington 14k (kawasaki engine). Only done 2 hours work. Last night I went to cut my lawn and it was hunting like mad. I put the mower back in the garage with intentions of looking at it today. I started it up and there was no hunting. Engine running like a Rolex. What do you make of that? . Thank you.

Never EVER buy a mower with this carb on. My mower has never run right and its now up the tip. Best place for it.
