Thanks, I’m a retired aircraft maintenance guy trying to learn a new motor. You been a big help.

Thank you so much for posting this. I tore apart my carb linkages without taking a picture. Then 1 month later when I go to put it back together, I had no idea. Out of the many videos that I watched, yours was the only one to show the process for getting it connected correctly.

I build race car engines for a living...but I couldn't make my generator run right after I cleaned the dang carb....thanks to your video I figured out I blew the dang jet across the shop when I was cleaning the carb 🤣🤣🤣! I watched and said "Hey there's a jet missing from my plastic float holder" went back out there and found it laying in the floor lmaooo! Thank's buddy! subscribed...and if ya ever need big carb tuning help like Holley, I'm your guy lol

For months I thought my parts store was just being a pain over those numbers. You helped clear up a lot of frustration. Thanks again for your videos.

My old Toro 1438 blessed it's oil sump with 87 about 10 years back. Wish I knew this then, I'd still have it runnin.

[krzysztofslipecki]

Oh man, tons of thx for this hint. I replaced crappy Nikki carb with rebuild Walbro. Its like night and day. Walbro works like charm, no surging, cloggs, leaks ...etc. God bless for your great work!

[frogfoot]

I have to write and say thank you so much sir. My mower is a Craftsman with the exact same engine and was suffering in the same way too. I ordered the Walbro, switched it out with that sorry butt Nikki, changed my oil to get the gas out of the engine, and now it runs like a new mower again. What a relief to my mind. Thanks again T-Bone!

Great video. Thanks.Had same issue on my LT2000 tractor, 21yrs old.18hp Intek
Smoking like hell, stalling out. I thought engine was screwed. New carb, fuel shut off, clear filter, change oil. Now runs perfect.
No smoke.😊
BTY, the $25 carb saved me from buying a new $2500 tractor. Yee ha!

[ibrcnut]

I liked your video. I wish I could do a swap like that with my Rigid Generator. It has a Subaru EX40 with a Nikki carb. I will be building some of those oil extractors. I hope I can use them a work on conveyor gear boxes.

[chrisgarland]

I have started following your advise on this and made a huge difference in repair time. Thank you!

[bobrogers]

I always buy aftermarket.... I look for the carburetors that have a center bolt on the bottom of the bowl instead of 2 Phillips screws on the top of bowl. I really like the ones with a plastic elbow fuel inlet too. I ALWAYS TRY TO REPLACE NIKKI STYLE WITH WALBRO STYLE EVERY TIME. IF I CAN.
THANKS FOR YOUR VIDEOS... I ALWAYS LEARN SOMETHING

[pocketjock]

Forgot to hook up the solenoid wire. Cleaned the carb and it wouldn't start so I watched your video. Runs great thanks

[dogsandwich]

New subscription, right here. That was the most honest, reasonable, non-sugar coated video ive ever seen. It's not biased, it's the truth. And it's fuct up but you're right.
My only question is, can I achieve the same effect with a MAP torch?

[LucyZamb-zb]

I did work with a guy who liked the Nikki carbs.... I think he was huffing carb cleaner

[williamburris]

Gas prices are too darn high, especially for the good stuff!. So I'm on my way to the Flea Market, ....already have a harness! No more repairs and all thanks to you. Soon be mowing for free, just gotta lube up the sickle bar and look for a, healthy one, at the Market!
Keep up the greatly informative and many times, hilarious videos! LOL! Valuable stuff in numerous ways! Thank you, always enjoyable, another admirer, WJB.
Nice, TORCH

[davidturley]

Thanks for this video I took your advice and went with the Walbro. Runs great. Did the same thing with the fuel lines too. I have a Troy Built Pony with the Briggs 17.5 horsepower and this worked great.

My Suffolk Colt Briggs and Stratton cylinder mower built in 1965 lasted 45 years with no repairs needed. Still going strong when I sold it.

[dogsandwich]

You had me at "you can't run that on a gravity feed system. Wanna bet?"

[andrewdickson]

👌 good job fixing that nikki there as good as the bowl screws

[MichaelStone-dnuz]

Your a genius! I know about engines and that change over was genius and all the tips and tricks that is pretty cool. Thanks for sharing part numbers and brands. I have made a couple of mistakes in the past when putting things back together. Once was a linkage issue. I couldn’t tell that the spring was broken in it’s coil over linkage. I had a surging problem with it afterwards and I finally asked the guys at my local John Deere dealer and one of them said that it sounds like a linkage issue and that I should check the spring that slides over the link and attaches to the governor. I did it and found the spring was broken so I went back to JD and replaced it and problem solved. No more surging. I don’t understand how a spring can prevent surging when there’s already a link in place from the carb to the governor?
