Very clear. Really enjoyed video. JJ
There is also an automatic choke problem with these. While still mounted to the engine some of the chokes will rub the inside left housing and plastic needs to be filed down a little to operate smoothly. Also, the jets work better drilled out to about .020 and won't clog as easily. Check videos from "Steves small engine saloon" for details......well worth it.
Thanks for the tip!

Looked like maybe a Widow running around near the exhaust when you fired it up the 1st time ... around 1:25
Ha, that would not surprise me!!
Great concise explanation. Thank you !
You are welcome!
@@thesmallenginerepairguy ls this narrow jet still a problem for the 2023 Briggs and Stratton carburetor on the Craftsman M220 ?
@@rotor-headI am not aware of any updates. My guess, no changes have been made.
You miss the center jet
I have only experienced this cartridge being the problem. Thanks for the tip and for watching!
Is there a special allen tool to enable you to remove the drain screw on the bottom of the carb. bowl to drain the gas out for winter storage?
I plan on making a video showing how I prepare engines for storage. Here is my website see End Of Season Tips sites.google.com/view/thesmallenginerepairguy/tips
I have this carbuerator on a Yard Machines mower. I took it off and cleaned it but it still won't start. I will try it again with carb cleaner. One guy told me l just need to order a new carbuerator.
Have you confirmed it is a carburetor issue? Will it run if you squirt fuel into the intake? There are a couple of variations to this model engine so make sure you order the correct one.
@@thesmallenginerepairguy This is a 2014 Yard Machines mower with the Briggs and Straton engine. I am going to clean it again exactly as you did with the carb cleaner. It cranked with starter fluid then stopped. If it still doesn't work l will order a new one.
@@bryanspindle4455 Sounds good. Sometimes it takes two or three tries to get it right. Good luck!
@@thesmallenginerepairguy Thanks. I tried cleaning the carburetor again with carb cleaner like you did. It still won't run. I don't get it. It looks perfectly fine but it just won't stay running for more than a few seconds. I was going to order a new carburetor, but l can't find the right part number for it. How do l find it? I don't have the owner's manual. There are stickers on the mower with numbers but none correspond to the numbers on the websites.
What if it doesn’t start after you squirt a little fuel to the intake? Does that mean I need a new spark plug?
Nope. Actually it means your ignition system (including the spark plug) is in working order. Your issue is the fuel delivery system (carburetor and fuel). Try cleaning the jets.
Wondering if an Allen wrench can be used on the recessed nut at bottom of carb bowl to loosen & drain bad gas wout removing stuff?
It's not so much the bad fuel you need to remove, rather the clog in the jets. That requires the removal of the carburetor and bowl.
@@thesmallenginerepairguy Thanks I realize that , but my question is specifically ... Can that recessed nut on the bottom of the carb be loosened to drain it? ... like other carbs that just have a normal nut --- which can be loosened w a wrench?
@@indiegemsthatjam3986 Honestly, I don't know and never tried. When I have another carburetor like this, I will give it a go in the name of science!
@@thesmallenginerepairguy ok thanks ... I've been meaning to run it by Hypertough cust serv ... I'll let ya know their advice
very good jab thank you 😂😂😂😂
