- HOW TO CLEAN A Briggs & Stratton Quantum Lawnmower Carburetor
In this detailed video tutorial I show you how to remove and clean a carburetor from a Briggs & Stratton Quantum lawnmower engine.
This lawnmower came in the shop with an empty fuel tank. You should always empty the old fuel when performing this procedure.

Easy to follow and thorough step by step tutorials do it yourself (DIY) to help you with your broken lawn and garden equipment including snowblowers.
I do my best to teach you how to easily diagnose problems the fastest, quickest and most efficient way with real repairs beyond just replacing a spark plug. These tips are for both the homeowner and shop owner.
Whether it be a handheld, two stroke, two cycle engine like a chainsaw, weed eater, weed wacker, string trimmer, grass trimmer, line trimmer, hedge trimmer, strimmer, brush cutter, leaf blower, or four stroke, four cycle units like a lawnmower, wood splitter, lawn tractor, snowblower, pressure washer, generator or a ride on mower that needs parts installed or replaced, I’m your go-to guy.
My favorite brands of spark plugs are NGK and Champion and are the ones I recommend.
I’ve been a small engine mechanic for many decades and also run my own repair shop so my videos are loaded with tips and tricks that I have learned and want to share with you. You will also find many tool and product reviews from top brands on my channel as well.
I have the largest Small Engine Repair Video Library on CZcams and the entire internet with over 1200 videos, just GOOGLE "DONYBOY73"!
I want "DON THE SMALL ENGINE DOCTOR" on CZcams to save you time, frustration and most importantly, MONEY with my HOW-TO videos!

check spark, compression, make sure there is fuel to the engine, I usually spray quick start immediately after a rebuild to get it going quicker
I started mine as soon as I knew I could, then reassembled the rest after success.
You're the best
Hi donyboy73, i could watch you repair machines all day long, because it's art when you do it. Amazing.
your instruction videos are outstanding. well done.
Really useful and i appreciate that you showed how to remove the carb before you cleaned it. Thanks for sharing.
I've never commented, but your videos have solved problems for me in the past, and today you taught me what I need to know once again. Thanks for the most informative and easiest to understand small engine repair videos on CZcams. Have a great day!
you're welcome Robert!
An excellent presentation by the mechanic who loves his job to helping others to solve their mechanical lawn mover problems. Thank you.
thanks man, greetings from Canada!
Excellent clear camera work. Thanks.
Great job! Very detailed instructions.
Excellent video-you (unlike many others) showed EVERY STEP in a way that we could see all of them to understand for those of us who are not naturally mechanically inclined. Thanks so much!
Glad it was helpful!
Looks very clean, so it's strange the carb would be dirty, BUT, I did follow a video and found mine had a clogged jet, used a paper clip to unclog it and now it starts and runs fine. Thank you, CZcams.
Thanks for another great video. As always, it was very helpful, clear, comprehensive, and professionally done. And thanks for making your videos "DIY-friendly". I really appreciate your focus on safety also.
lifesofunny1 thanks
Excellent video, this fixed my Quantum, until now it kept stopping unless I kept pumping.
Oustanding video. Very methodical and thorough. Excellent.
Donyboy 73 you never disappoint [great video]I wish more videos on youtube were as detailed as yours [keep up the good work]
+Kevin Bolin thanks Kevin
I really admire how you fix things donyboy, you are a motor wizard.
Great video with clear instructions, thanks
He's like the Mr. Rogers of small engine repair!
thanks dude got an old mower from the previous homeowner didnt even get halfway thru my lawn and the motor started dying on me, came back the next day and did everything you did now its purring
Your video was so helpful and I was able to get my machine back cutting grass again! Plus you saved me $70! Thanks. :)
I was just given this lawnmower as a hand-me-down and it looked to be in great condition. I went to fire it up to warm the oil to change it, and had the same problem in needing to prime the mower to keep it going. Luckily I watched this video last night for kicks and knew exactly what to do. It now works like a charm. Thanks for saving me money and allowing me to add another notch to my DIY belt!
DIYer here!! Thanks!!! Great tips!!!! I have a DR lawn tractor with a Brigs. 20 years old giving me fits not wanting to run!! Excellent camera work... outstanding step by step!!!
I've watched maybe 15 videos and not one had the same carb that was on my lawn mower or had the same problem. This one does, I already bought the rebuild kit because the gaskets were shot. I'm going to the garage to whip this beotch back in shape. Thank you donyboy73!
happy repair, lol
Thanks for the great videos. Our hand me down mower always had a really rough idle, then wouldn't run unless you pressed the prime button, as you showed here. I cleaned some gelatinous substance from the bottom of the fuel bowl (otherwise the carburetor looked clean), and once I remember to prime it, it started and ran as smooth as in the video; smoother than it ever had for us.
Much Appreciated. Your instructions worked perfectly on my 2 year old snowblower which would not start. Turns out the carb was was gunked up with green sticky deposits , which I'm guessing might be copper carbonate caused by crappy ethanol in my fuel. I've subscribed to your channel which are the best quality videos I was able to find. You saved my 120 dollars by not needing to take to my small motor repair shop.
you're welcome
Thank you, thank you, thank you, for the explicit video on rebuilding a Briggs & Stratton carburetor. It made it easy for this dinosaur to be successful in rebuilding my carburetor without fear of screwing it up the first time correctly. 👍👍👍
Me did this the other day!! Your videos are so helpful!!!!
yes and make sure the gasket between air filter housing and carb is good
Another great, detailed video Don! Thanks so much! I can watch these all day!
Excellent video, great camera work. So much more informative and "watchable" than these weekend warrior videographers who hold the camera in one hand and work with the other! Very clear vocals and diction...I was thinking Canadian, then I saw the predominant French on the can of started fluid...that clinched it! The engine on my pressure washer had exactly this problem and I was a little leary about messing with it myself. After this video, I feel completely comfortable pulling the carb off and cleaning it. Thanks. I've subscribed!
thanks for subscribing and greetings from Ontario Canada
+donyboy73.... thanks for your videos Bud. I've learned quit a bit by watching them. I've done a head gasket and adjusted the valves on my Briggs 18.5hp. I've got a Walbro carburetor, Do you have a video on how to adjust the Carburetor?
I have been enjoying your videos for YEARS.Thanks
Thx for showing in detailed, how you performed this work. Kept my full attention thru out the whole video.
Happy I found a video I’ve not watched, cool thing to watch
Never quit learning from others
Thanks 🙏
That was the best detailed video I have ever seen!! Thanks Donny great job!!
Used this vid, got my ranch king brush trimmer back up and going again. You’re awesome sir, thank you!!
I keep watching videos you posted weekly. They are very helpful. I learned how to maintain even fix my tool properly.
Awesome video.... thanks for the advice. My snowblower works perfect now. It was the bull nose bolt, those little holes were plugged.
Best carb video on CZcams!
thanks Jonathan
GREAT, concise and clear instructions donyboy! Unlike other instructional videos on lawnmowers etc, your video quality and narration is highly professional! i'll keep 'tuned' in!! Keep up the good work!
thanks nick!
That was great. I’m having the same problem. Your instructions were precise and easy to understand. Thanks!
Wow!! This video tutorial was just what i needed to help me get my mower back on track! I had viewed several others. But, this one was geared for my briggs&stratton engine. So, KUDOS to Donyboy, for an excellent Mower Maintenance For Dummies video. I will check out any and all of your other offerings. WayneBo in The D
I just cleaned my carburetor assuming that I had a dirty needle and seat. However put it all back together still would not run. So found your video and realized that I never checked the passages in the bowl nut. When I checked I discovered the passages were completely blocked. Cleaned them out with carb cleaner and some small gauge wire. Mower now runs like new.
Many thanks.
Yet again I have to say thank you for this very well done video. You do such a good job filming, explaining etc that anyone can learn from your instructions. I'd love to work in your shop 3 months for free just to learn from you. Thanks again.
Great job! Took mine apart years ago but this was a good refresher. Thanks for posting.
I followed you video and it worked first time, Thanks bro.
Nice job, best one I've seen on here yet. Thanks for the tips and warnings about what not to do, as well. I had no idea carb cleaner was so dangerous.
Another outstanding video. Always informative. Keep them coming.
Thx man!! So clear and to the point, I am really happy with you being on CZcams
ostaz007 thanks, make sure you are subscribed
Very clearly explained. Thanks.
Professional technical video. Gained lot.
Thank you
YOU ARE THE BOMB! I feel like I could be a success now with my Briggs 6 HP tiller!
itsyoureternalsoul lol
A belated thank you for this video: was watching it as a refresher and realized this is where you mentioned using a tip cleaner for the little holes. I'm not a welder so it took me a while to find what you meant (a little $3 thing in the welding department) but now that I have one it's great. As a suggestion, I used a pair of side cutters to snip off the smooth end portion of a few of the files so they can clean shallow holes better.
Fabulous video. I'm a rank anateur, terrified of internal combustion engines of all stripe, (scared of anything diesel too), but thanks to you I can now confidently yank the carb on my mower and do yeoman work. Thanks. You have a gift for clarity.
Many thanks. You wouldn't believe how gunked up the carb on my pressure washer engine was....but cleaned it following your instructions and it started right up.
great. I just ordered the carb overhaul kit on Amazon for $9. Very useful video. Thanks!
That mower is beautiful !
Came here from your earlier video. Thanks again for making these.
One of your very best videos. Thank you.
Great video. Very well presented. Thanks
Best videos on CZcams Don thank you
Very well done. I’m doing the exact same thing but didn’t know about the float pin gasket. I hope my carburetor cleaner didn’t ruin it.
Nice work and explanation 😀
i been watching yours video and you are very good! well explained good voice etc. i wish you were at the corner of my street!😍
Great video - lots of good tips and detail!
Excellent video very well explained
Thank you sooooo much for this video! One of three total videos I found that solved my problem! I needed to mow my lawn...the repair people had a two week wait just to diagnose and they said it could be more than $200 to fix it based on what I had described (I didn't pay that much for the mower, new!) Thought I was going to have to trash the whole thing. I ordered a carburetor overhaul kit online (under $7)... which hasn't even arrived yet...and a can of carburetor cleaner, and just went in and cleaned everything out...et voila! I'm overjoyed! Got the whole yard mowed and no more gas leaking out! AND!!!! I now know I won't have to keep buying and trashing lawn mowers on a regular basis! :)))))
I am So pleased to have found this video.
I have a "Greenfield" ride on mower with a 6HP Briggs and Stratton engine that will run for about 15 minutes then stalls.
If I loosen the fuel line After the in-line filter, the fuel miraculously appears in the inline filter again, the engine starts and runs till the next time it "runs out of fuel!.
I now feel confident about taking the carburettor off.
Thank You for sharing your knowledge, and the very clear and concise videos'.
Superb video! I have a similar mower that after 7 years will benefit from a good carb cleaning.
Thanks!
very clear explanation, Thanks a lot
You make this look simple
Excellent video. Thank You
even tho i know this
i still watch your videos because they are nice to watch and the video has good quality
good job mate!
Another great video Dony ! I always look forward to your new vids !
I have that exact model carb on my lawnmower. This video is a great help:)
Nice and very detailed video. Great job Dony.
Great detailed information. Thank you.
You make it appear so easy
ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO, CLEAR & CONCISE..WELL DONE....
Great video, very helpful
Excellent video. Did not know you could spray carb cleaner on the float bowl, I thought it would slightly melt. Keep up the great vids.
Great job learned a lot thanks
Thanks Donny! As always clear and well done: much appreciated!!!!
thanks!
Using an old tooth brush is a great idea, thanks for the tip.
Great videos! Well made and very helpful!
Thanks very much for sharing your skills via this video. I am going to see if you have one related to servicing the spark plug. Thank again!!
Thanks for another great video. These are simular to tecumseh carbs.
Good stuff! Thx for making this for DIYer.
Thanks for watching!
Super vidéo j'ai pus régler ma tondeuse
Great one Donny .
Thank you very much!Your video helped me!🙂
Thank you for your in depth video and step by step instruction.,ihave fixed a rider lawnmower and a snow thrower that was waffling by drilling the removable jet.and a carb cleaning a push mower that wouldn't start. Thank you so much!! Oh I used a o18 micro drill the smallest in the kit!
That's nice Clark, real nice.
Another top video Donny. Thanks!
Another great video Donny!!
Great video! Just what was needed!
very nice video and nice work shop . Good job thanks
I stand with the rest of you. His are the best.
awesome timing, i have to clean the carb on my mower as it won't start :)
Another great video from Don. I must confess that at first I did not understand what Don meant when he said that the bowl bolt is also a jet and why he went to so much trouble to clean it. I cleaned my carb body to within in an inch of it's life and could not get the engine to run for more that a second or two. After paying real close attention to the bolt one last time it fired right up. Basically the bolt is hollow and gas gets sucked up through it. If the orifices in the bolt are clogged the engine will not run. After going through this I now understand why Don was so meticulous with the bolt! It does more than just hold the bowl on!! Thanks Again Don! You have a great channel!!
+Paul M thanks Paul
Fantastic video. Thank you for sharing. Much appreciated . Looking forward to more.
