Just another day fixing a random thing. Troy Bilt pressure washer that need a carb cleaned out. Simple fix, runs like new.
UPDATE:1 year and still cranks within the first 2-3 pulls. Probably will buy another when this one finally does bite the dust czcams.com/users/postUgkx43QMbQqu67IZadu9ou8Sg1BdrunMRNqX . No issues at all. Very happy with it.UPDATE: After 6 months of use and over 70 uses I would still highly recommend this pressure washer. It does vibrate a decent amount but never had it “walk” like others have mentioned. No oil leaks, still seems to run like the day I bought it. Still cranks within 2-3 pulls every time. Very happy with my purchase!Have used it about a dozen times now. Plenty of power, cranks up on 1-2 pulls every time. My only complaint would be I wish it was a little taller to make it easier to walk with it (hits my ankles a lot) and that the two hose connections were a little further apart but it hasn’t caused me any issues. Seems to run a good 1-1/2-2 hrs on a full tank, overall a well built machine and definitely worth the money in my opinion.
This is the best small engine carb video i have seen. I've been an auto mechanic for 25 years, mostly fuel inj. You had theory, no filler, straight to the point. You da shit man!!!
Bro I've watched over 80 hours of carburetor videos In my lifetime where the hell have you been😂😂 good job
Thanks!
Im a lady that tries to fix things myself rather than pay for a new one or pay someone else to fix it. I'm a cheapskate on some stuff. Followed this step by step and holy shit it worked! Started right up no problem. Thanks for the easy to follow simple video!!!
GREAT JOB . THIS is MY FIRST comment ever in 15 YRS. ...well done .
and i am a grand father ..but i was your age yesterday .
time flys ! keep the camera rolling !
Thanks for the help , If i may say ...video professionally spoken ! THANKS !
GOOD THINKING!!...when i saw you at the sink, i thought to myself, "...self!!..that poor bastard is forced by his better half to wash ALL 3 of those dishes!!" NOW i know what to do when faced with such horror. THANK YOU!!
Thanks! Even after 2 years your video is still helping folks like me. I had replaced the carb but didn't realize the choke arm wasn't angled correctly causing it to surge. One little adjustment of the arm and the motor works great!
Fantastic video - thanks so much for taking the time to make it. No fuel was getting into the bowl and my needle valve was really stuck in place. Used a small flat blade underneath the float alternating sides and carb cleaner and eventually it came out. Had yellowish varnish built up. Toothbrush did not get it loose but fingernail and carb cleaner did. Rubbed out the port it goes into with a q-tip and when I was done it slid in freely. Put it all back together and it started right up! So excited - first time I cleaned out a carb and no doubt saved a bunch. Thanks again
Thanks for the brief (and somewhat)entertaining tutorial. Fixed my pressure washer and it started on 1st pull! Countless attempts and a million pulls..... solved in about 30 minutes👍
I got one of these from the dump two days ago...it looked brand new....oil was still yellow....I cleaned the carb and put in 100LL AVGAS...it starts and runs perfectly. Ethanol is making a lot of good equipment available to those with enough knowledge to fix simple problems.
Just be aware you’re going to foul the plugs running avgas
New carb for me was $20. This video saved me tons of money. Thanks!
Good video my dude ,and you're right people would be amazed on how much of this stuff I pick out of the trash that only needed the carb cleaned
Thanks for the video and great explanation of the gas/air flow and balance of compression. My main jet coming into the valve chamber was totally clogged, but when I first looked at it didn't think it was supposed to be an opening. Your video showed that, and when I cleared it out, ran like a charm! Thanks again.
The jet is actually the bolt that holds the bowl on. Never seen that before. That little bit of info saved me because mine was clogged but otherwise the carb was very clean. Thank u.
Wow, you are so SMART! Excellent video that actually explains things perfect! Outstanding
Best vid on these carbs I’ve ever seen. Thanks for the technical explanations!
Thank you! Just got mine back up and running today thanks to this vid. It had been sitting for over a year and I thought it was done for.
Thank you so much! It I fallowed your directions & took it apart, cleaned it & put it back together. I saved my husband from having to go out & buy another power washer!
That makes me very happy!! Awesome wife and awesome job!!!!
Great video. I just did mine this morning. I did not know about the carb cleaner and the seal. Hope I didn't mess mine up. But it did start working and I used it for a few hours without any problem. I was going to do a video but, man your video is just great I couldn't have done any better. Thanks.
Thank you sir! at 5:10 in the video, that part about being able to see through the main jet was my issue. Mine was clogged and I thought there was only 1 hole because of the gunk covering the other side. I cleaned that out and that fixed my gas leak and got my motor running smoothly again. I'd been messing with it for a coupla weeks now with no success and that was what I needed! Again, many thanks for this video.
Worked like a charm!! I couldn’t thank you enough. Now I’m telling everyone how to fix theirs lol.
Thank you for educating me.
Thanks so much man, got my craftsman washer back up and running! First time taking apart and cleaning carb on my own. Now my pump valves have cracks though so not gettin any pressure.
Great video, works fine now. Doesn't take much to clog up these carburetors. Thinking about putting inline filter on mine. Thanks again!
I could not get the choke control arm off or the governor so I just cleaned the carb with the carb connected to the engine. My main jet wasn't as clean as yours but I used a strand of copper wire from a piece of ground wire to stick into that main jet and the smaller port and then squirt some carb cleaner all while it was still connected to the engine and voila it started on second pull! Great video!
Your instructional video worked like a charm! Thanks for the help
Great job on the video, I may and try and fix my POS Troy Built pressure washer now. I despise junk you pay good money for and it stops working after a few uses despite taking excellent are of it.
Thanks for the detailed information. Good work.
Great video. I may attempt this now!
I have the same pressure washer, and you just saved me some money. Thank you.
Very informative video--my pressure washer is now roaring again. Thanks!
Awesome commentary, keep it real😁
Good video! Thanks for posting.
Excellent video thank you
Nice job ! Thanks a ton.
Great video and love the humor : )
this is a very good video of the carburetor service on this pressure washer, I have one I just rebuilt and it's 100%. Thanks for doing it
Thanks for this video :)
Turned out the carb bowl had a lot of whitish sludge and white crystal chunks in it. I swear I've been using non-ethanol gas (stabilizer too just to be safe). Don't know where it came from. Used an air hose on the little ports instead of carb cleaner.
It's working great now!
Glad to hear!!!
Great video!
Thanks man got her done.
Thanks!
I couldn't of done a better job explaining how a carb works and how to clean and repair it. Just wanted to thank you. I don't bother leaving comments on videos but had to on this one. God Bless
This helped solve my problem. All I did was remove the globe, clean the jet, reinstall. Problem solved. Started right up.
wow almost didn't finish watching this cause of the intro.....very good video !
Thank you
Well done
I had dipped mine and put it back together and back on, and wasn't getting any gas. I knew it had to be something I did wrong. I watched you put the needle and float together and I didn't remember putting the head through the slot. Sure enough, that was my mistake and it fired right up! Thanks for making this video.
i guess Im kinda off topic but does anyone know of a good site to stream newly released series online?
@Abraham Mitchell i would suggest Flixzone. Just google for it :)
@Cory Pierce definitely, have been watching on Flixzone for years myself :)
@Cory Pierce thanks, I went there and it seems like a nice service :) Appreciate it !!
@Abraham Mitchell Happy to help =)
Ur right, it's always the carb, usually due to corn ethanol fuel gumming it up! Grampa never had to deal with that crap fuel. We are strickin with it due to politics!
Cannot tell you how much this video helped me! Have been frustrated to no end until you helped me take it apart AND put it back together. You’re awesome thank you so much.
life saver
I have tried before and didn't fix it so it sat for...years I hate to admit. Today, I tried again...and boom, the concrete is new again! I was ready to take a bfh to it but thankfully it didn't come to that 😅
An important thing people over look is winterizing oressure wahers. Either kerp.them.indoors away from freezing temps or do what I have always done. Keep.pump saver in them. $8 is a small.price to pay considering a new pump, if they're even worth a new pump.
Thank you very much. Awesome video. 100% fixed.
Glad it helped
Good job new sub here
My Ryobi was starting and running for about 30 seconds then dying. I was told to put some Techron auto carb cleaner in the gas tank (don't put too much) and it ran like brand new.
Your waking up all the neighbors turning that motor on at the middle of the night. Thanks, mines works now.
My neighbors can suck exhaust fumes
Good video just wish I hadn't bought it! I have a electric one I bought off of QVC 12 years ago and it is still working.
i have the same engine but it went bad when i let my cousin use it . and he put high pressure pump oil instead motor oil .. any recommendations on what went bad
Mine won't throttle up when u press the trigger. I put a brand new OEM carburetor. It was working find other than the other carburetor stop working
not sure where you check, but a 7.75, and 2700PSI B&S PW CARB/new was $25, eBay i think it was, got it, installed, was awesome. and to me $25 is well worth it to then clean the old one when u get it all going, just saying. SEEN you say it was about $50 so i just had to comment. HOWARD in Miami Florida [AWESOME VIDEO bro, thank you!]

I have the same pressure washer and I cant completely remove the needle in the carb, I'm sure that's the issue I'm having cause the floater isn't getting any fuel at all
One really good video.I took my old carb apart a few years ago(without instructions like this) and it took me 2 hours and hours to re-assemble, and that was a guessing game.
Now, I have a 1yr old Troy Bilt p/w similar to the one in video.Stored it in winter with ethanol free fuel and some STABIL. It would not start up for me after 10-12 pulls.
Sprayed some starting fluid into carb , and it runs for 2- 3 seconds only. You mentioned in your video to hook up water .Will not doing so prevent my machine from starting.??I dont want to clean the carb as I do not think this is the problem as it was used last season for about 2- hours only.And yes, there is no choke/ run lever, just an on -off red switch,
What do you suggest??
Running without water can ruin the pump.
That Was A GREAT VIDEO, So How Many Turns Do You Adjust That One Adjustment Screw,
Great Job 👍👍👍👍👍
Idk.. maybe 4-6
Hi can you help me out with my Troy bill 3100 max psi , lost pressure
So after looking at your video my carb is the exact same. However the bowl is dry and there’s no fuel flowing so it seems like there’s some kinda blockage in between the tank and the float bowl. Is there a way to open that up?
Replace your fuel line
What would be the issue if the pull cord is froze? I took the spark plug off and didn’t see any issues. I also checked the air filter. Any ideas are appreciated
Your valves need adjustment more than likely.
Or the motor may be seized.
In removing the carburetor from the Troy Bilt pressure washer, one of the two bolts that hold the carb., backed out half way and has gotten so tight I am afraid that I will strip the threads. Does anyone have a suggestion. It would very much appreciated. Thank You

@@CreativeMechanic I had a similar problem. These two bolts are Torx. Shows up in the video at 3:58. Because the bolts are blocked by the things in front of it, my torx driver was going in on an angle and I was afraid it would result in stripping the bolthead. So I switched to a socket. I beleive it was 1/2 inch. Worked well.
Yes, it is the carb but the real problem is the 10% ethanol in your gas. Use (or create your own) ethanol free gas. For storage, please empty the fuel tank & run the carb dry. Use 89 octane minimum!
Did all this and it still won’t start. Carb looks brand new. All jets clear. It will run on some starting fluid but not on its own. I can’t figure out why
Same with me
Found the issue. The bowl screw was plugged. Had to use the air compressor to get it out. so small it’s very easy to look over
@@CopperChief nice!!!good for you!!💯
Mine won't start and keeps flooding out and it has a new carb on it already
how do you prevent this from happening after fixing it?
Properly winterize it every season
@@CreativeMechanic What does that mean? Does installing a fuel shut off before the carburetor help?
Look up winterize on CZcams
@@CreativeMechanic I did. it said go to youtube
I put gas in mine and it is leaking out the top of the carburetor when not running! What gives?
Your float needle isn’t sealing when the bowl fills, you have dirt in the passage or possibly mechanical damage preventing a seal
Creative Mechanic fixed that was it! Thanks 👍🏻
Must be Navy seal !!!😀
Lol
Goober lol
All you had to do is say it’s the carb. Mine starts with starting fluid then dies. Drained gas, drained bowl, removed float and sprayed the shit out it it. Same thing, ran for 5 seconds and died.
Someone else may have one with no spark dumbass
It is not my carb anymore... this pressure washer is shit. Buy electric only.
