FIX Engine Surging on any small engine QUICKLY

Engine HUNTING surging REVING pulsating etc FIXED permanently.

Stuff I used in the video:
Carb Cleaner spray: WALMART is around $2.50 a can.

After Thoughts about the Video: Acetone is virtually the only thing that breaks down old gasoline. Put a 1/4 cup per (2oz)mower tank(1/2 gallon) and run the entire tank through and it'll give you the best odds of fixing engine running issues. You can use Acetone from a bulk can, carb cleaner sprayed in or even nail polish remover(acetone). This will dissolve any gummy fuel deposits and even burn carbon off the valves and piston.

A small engine repair wouldn't be complete without a dog jumping through the hole of a tire on a lawnmower you just fixed. NICE!

If you're a doofus like myself, it's good to take pictures with your phone of the carb when you're taking it apart so you know where everything goes when it comes to linkages and springs.

The carb clean and detailed explanation of how it functions was top notch and the pet tricks at the end was icing on the cake.

Just FYI, when cleaning carburetors that were all gummed up with old gas residues, I found that 91% rubbing alcohol (isopropyl alcohol) worked better than anything else. Give it a try sometime.

This is the best explanation of how small carbs work and why they don't work that I have seen!

[rosssmith]

Iv watched a lot of small engine Carby videos but this one has given me the best understanding of how it works and how fix it .
You articulate this stuff very well! Thanks

[LateIWon]

Got to love fairly easy fixes. I know most people are intimidated but you did a great job explaining it

[markusedma]

Great video! I jumped thinking the dog was going to get his paws under the deck when you started it!

[MRrwmac]

I’m sure a lot of your viewers will learn something from this video. Thanks!

[chrisray]

I absolutely had to give a like to this... Not only was the information and breakdown great, but to finish it up with his pup was awesome... Keep it up buddy

[SpecOps]

Finally a proper explanation of the idle surging on the GCV engine. Thank you! This has been driving me nuts for the past year.

Great video! I just revived my 12-year old Honda walk-behind by following your instructions. It was surging and would only start with a spray of starting fluid.  I had replaced some gaskets and sprayed the carburetor before, but it didn't help.Your video gave me the confidence to try again. About the hardest part was figuring out which way to put back the plastic intake port that goes between the carb body and the engine intake. I also did a valve lash (both settings were off by about two one-thousandths of an inch.) After all was done, the engine started on second pull. Then it restarted many times after shutting down. I can't thank you enough.

I watch a lot of the diy tricks or tips videos to fixing things. I always want to add to my everyday self sufficient knowledge. And im normally disappointed at the how to videos that are just common sense or someone who has no idea what they're talking about. Bullshitting through a useless video to try to get some attention. You are the one person that I watch who has legitimate info worth watching. Even if it's something I already know you often explain the process to where I learn a little more into why that way works. And you have torn into these things and figured them out yourself. Your not just regurgitating something you saw another you tuber do or read from a forum. I don't write fan mail comments ever. But you approach things the way I try to. Which is if someone made this I should be able to figure it out. The person who made it wasnt a magician. I'm smart enough to follow simple steps backwards And im just stupid enough to try something new see if it works. Sometimes things turn out better. And sometimes I make things infinitely worse. My backyards full of buried abortions from stupid ideas. But I also have a bunch of stuff I've modified in some way and are vast improvements from what they were. anyway thank you for covering stuff i want to know that nobody else seems to be doing. and please keep doing everything exactly the way you have been because it's much more beneficial then having something explained by a self professed expert more concerned with appearing smart then engaging others to use their problem solving skills and figure stuff out. Or possibly just break things a little less until they work.

Thank you for taking your time to teach us knuckleheads something useful. You saved me from buying a new lawnmower. I didn't have a piece of grass in my carb, but it was really gummy.

Thanks for the detailed explanation of how the idle circuit works, and why the engine surges when the idle circuit is blocked. As you said, it's easy to fix if you understand how it works. Also, thanks for making this video. It helped.

Had a craftsman lawn mower with that same engine. Three years and it started surging. I took it apart and clean the carb out thoroughly. Work for a while but later that year started acting up again. I took it to Honda and let them clean the carb. They soaked it got it back later that day worked good but a few Weeks later started acting up again. Took it back and they soaked it overnight. Worked good for a while and then started surging again. I got some seafoam, the fuel tank was almost empty so I put a good shot in there. Pulled it out of the shed, kick some snow to the side and let it run for 10 minutes. Pushed it back in the shed and said " pos if you do this next spring you're gone". Used it for 11 years after that with no problems ever again. Sold it a few years ago running in mint shape cuz I bought a Makita battery operated lawn mower. Gas is crap these days! Don't dis' seafoam! 🤣🤣🤣 But good video!

[zackabilly]

This is a great breakdown of 90% the problems I see in the shop now a days ! Great job!

[RodderFiles]

im a visual learner, and it really sux yt wasnt around yrs ago to watch the smart ones like you show us, you know how many small engine items to vw related engines i have dumped do to lack of knowledge i kick my self in the ass all the time lol, thanks Moe for all your shaed knowledge and expertise

[PS-penc]

Thank you for making this video. You explain everything so well. Took the mystery of how the carburetor works right away for me.

[CheaddakerT.Snodgrass]

Glad you made this video. I know you've made many carb cleaning videos in the past; I've referenced them many times. This newly refined video was needed.
