FIXING THE LAWN MOWER SURGING PROBLEM (SKILL LEVEL EASY)

Показать описание

Surging is the idling up and down in rpm. This fix deals with cleaning the pilot jet.

"Pin vise set" whichever one works for you. I got one that came with micro mills and those seem to be the right size.
"Tweezers"

Ultimately it boils down to cleaning out that jet.
Do not bother with fuel system cleaner, unless you want to clean the fuel system afterwards.

If you take a job like this to a lawn mower shop they will do just as you did in a few minutes but when you pick it up they will tell you it was a 5 hour job to remove carburettor, strip and clean and refit, plus what ever else they decided to invent while working on it . What should be less than an hour will be hundreds . You pay because it’s running but they are laughing all the way to the bank . Good on you for fixing it yourself . Well done 👍

I was having the exact same issue with our new mower with less than 6 hours on it! It ran out of gas and then started surging after it was refueled. 2min fix and its running good as new! Thank you so much!!!

Solid coar copper wire is my go to for carburate cleaning. It is softer than most cast carburetor materials and snakes easily through any small orifice holes.

Wow! I have the Exact mower and yours sounds exactly the way mine sounded when I was mowing the day before yesterday. Thanks for the easy-fix footage! I sure hope this works. 🤔

Im having the exact same problem with my craftsman t2400. Come to find out Husqvarna makes the mower for the year i have

Worked flawlessly…. Less and two minutes..don’t need the other tool. Just a screw driver, carb cleaner, and some wire to clean the ports.

It’s so easy to remove carb and completely clean it 😊😊😊

The problem that I have is when I first start..it races like hell.. I have a craftsman yt 3000..bought it new 12 years ago and it has been great up until now..any suggestions….

This video is inaccurate, i have been a small engine mechanic for 15+ years. The symptom of surging at high rpms indicates that it is the main jet that is the cause, the pilot jet is only critical to low engine rpms. It is also providing fuel all the time so the pilot and main are cumulative. But this "repair" would not fix the surging. Also none of the b+s repair manuals i have(all of them) indicate this is the correct repair methodology.
