Gave me exactly what I needed to see to put the carb back on after cleaning. Thanks!
Glad it helped
Just got an old honda hrx217 today. Runs good, but the gas is dripping behind the air filter. I'm pretty sure it's the carb. Thanks for the video.
Thank you very much just wanted to let you know my brother was yelling at me not to touch the lawnmower as if I was going to ruin it. I watched your video I cleaned out the jets. Put it back together. The lawnmower started on first try. Took me 20mins. And a whole lot of yelling at my bro.😅
Would happened faster if he just got out of the way lol.
Buddy!! You made it possible for me to do my first carb clean at 38yo 😂
Took her all apart and cleaned her up and put it all back together... wouldn't start till I put a new plug in her though 🤣🤪
Much much appreciated brother.
Yep I usually start with the plug!!!
Just what I was looking for. About to tear into mine for a carb cleaning after 14 yrs. Thanks for taking time to share. 😀
Glad I could help
Fantastic explanation - needed exact location of specific gaskets - you made it work for me!
Thanks! Worked like a charm. Garb was really fouled up. Needed to buy a new paper gasket for the bowl as the other onewas stuck to the bowl and tore when I opened it. Good as new for $11. Can't thank you enough.
Glad it helped! thank you!!
Bro, awesome video. Thank you for the Amazon links too. I'm buying one of these lawn mowers as a first time home owner from someone locally for like $150, and I anticipate that I'll need to replace the carburetor as well as the spark plug. I really appreciate you walking us through the steps. Cheers.
Most likely you just need to do an oil change, new spark plug new filter and blade sharpen and your good…. I did that and mine prrrsss and works pretty good…
Considering doing this from the video later on
We've had our HRX since 2012, other than cleaning out leaves that get jammed underneath, and regular maintenance, never had a problem until this year. Engine runs but surges, so figure it is overdue for a carb cleaning. Thanks for the video, I now know what to do!
Dirty jet clean the carb
Thanks for a great video. Just bought a used one that the original owner left sit for two years. Hopefully this does the trick!
thank you for sharing this great info! the 14k solution did the job and without it i believe i will give up!
Glad it helped
Great video! Thanks for such a detailed step by step.
I'll be tackling this tomorrow!
Glad it was helpful!
Looks straight forward.
Thanks
Great video and thanks for posting it.
One thing i noticed when i removed my carburetor, after it quit in the middle of mowing and would not start again, there were more gaskets than what i saw in your re-install of this carb. I would say 3 more.
Did I miss something?
Bro, you don't know how much this means to me. THANK YOU
Glad I could help
Thanks. I am gonna try to shut the fuel line to OFF prior to disassembling.
I just did mine. @4:00 on the side there is a hole that you can put a ball pump needle and push it down. In the meanwhile use flat screw driver to get the screw out. It's a pain in ass.
gold testing solution. very cool. thanks.
You bet
Thanks God bless you 🙏🏾
excellent. thanks
good video, thanks
Glad i could help
Seems there are more gaskets than you installed or am I missing something. I think most will use carb cleaner and skip the gold testing fluid. I wonder why the bowl nut was on so tight. Great Video, thanks for posting.
Did i miss something? You may not need the acid but it does help keep you from having to do the job multiple times.
@@smallengineguys Insulator gasket looked backwards
thank you. what is the screw wrapped with spring for? I removed it and not sure how much it should be tightened 😊
Fuel air mixture. All the way in snug then 1 full turn out
At least it wasn't a plastic thing that you can't fix. I've had mine for 4 or 5 years now. First time I couldn't get it going. It would "almost" get there. If I had to absolutely have a generator, it will have a Honda motor on it.
GOOD JOB
How does the acid solution compare to the carb jet brushes? I find the brushes are good and no worries on having to remove the acid solution after it cleans.
Whatever works. Just get those jets clean.
Where does one buy the gold testing solution? Great video and explanation, thank you.
acid

@@smallengineguys This is no longer available on amazon. Is there an alternative?
Great video
Thanks for the visit
What is the Acid you are using?
Thanks!
No problem! thanks so much!!!!
Great video, very informative -- only, the carb in the link below doesn't go with the mower in the video.
Yes it is. Just because your model isn't listed doesn't mean it's wrong.
@@smallengineguys > If you have personal knowledge then I'll take your word on it but from the description in the ad on Amazon, there isn't enough information to make the determination that this carb will match a MAGA - 2230775. But thanks again for the great vid!
@@pullmyfinger6932 I have personal knowledge. I've been a small engine mechanic since Paul Harvey was on the am radio and you could tell the condenser was bad because the radio went to static.
@@smallengineguys > well, now I know The Rest of the Story....Good day! 😆😂🤣
@@smallengineguys > also, I'm *pretty* sure you put the big gasket on backwards. But I don't suppose it matters because it's really just a vent to adjust for atmospheric pressure. Right?
Use nothing but premium fuel with a fuel stabilizer and you will never have carburetor problems. The premium fuel is expensive but one is using very little of it. The premium fuel has way more detergents ( Techron + others) in it that keeps the carb clean and the spark plug as well. I have used it in my John Deere JX75 for 24 years and no carb problems not any, plus the E-3 (E3.22) spark plug. Just put new wheels, air cleaner, Mobil One oil, new spark plug after 9 years of running time. The life time guarantee spark plug I took out had no deposits but I put a new one anyway. Hope my Honda HRX last as long as but I doubt it.
I agree with this, I'm 17 with a lawn business and this is exactly what I do.
Premium goes bad faster. Don't believe me? Put low test in an open jar and premium in an open glass jar see what one turns yellow first. What you realy want is non ethanol fuel.
@@smallengineguys that may be true but within days of getting premium gas I mostly use all of it,when I'm done using the mower I try to make sure no gas stays in the tank. Especially after mowing season, and I turn my gas shut off on as well.
thats a good practice. id also run it till it starts to surge then choke it to get all of the fuel burnt out of the carburetor.
91+ octane is an overkill. My 20 year old mowers never needed carb work with regular gas until one year I left the gas in the tank over the winter. And if you use up the gas in the gas container within a month, you won't need stabilizer either. But stabilizer is good insurance just in case.
What is the acid used

Good video...that's a high dollar mower.
decks break not impressed with these
@@smallengineguys Is that a composite deck?
yes. cracks like plastic though
I have 5 of them, 2 have crack decks. I feel the deck still has a lot of room for improvement but overall still a good mower.
@@temujinkhan6326 yeah not to impressed with the deck.
I still don’t think these are that good of a engine
Take this video down, gaskets are being placed in the wrong order and some are missing, this this only confuse the DIYer.
Your an id 10 t
Thanks for sharing man.
You bet
