Great Job! Your the first person to show the part number. Thanks for your video.
-
You’re great! I followed the video and now my Craftsman runs like it should.
-
one of the best engines made by B/S love working on those when I had a repair shop, thanks for sharing
-
Very nice and detailed explained, explained the pitfalls too, thanks a big lot !!! By now I have to deal with water in the fuel system, snow-blower that rested 2 yrs in a barn, through day/night temp.-changes built up moisture in the fuel and drove me mad....
-
Very Good video. I use wooden dowels, stick them in the screw holes, slide all the gaskets and parts over them, then take them out one at a time and install the screws. Seems to help hold all the stuff in place. Thanks
-
i myself thank you so much sir for making this video,, it solved my rebuild issue.. keep up the awesome work ..
-
This was very helpful. One thing, I actually put in about 4 oz of fuel in carb before installing the top of carb back on. Having the fuel in the carb, made for a very quick start without having to crank long. I also used carb cleaner stray and shot it through the passages. Runs great now.
-
Nice video. I like to go over the carb with a toothbrush and some solvent before I crack it apart. This helps eliminate the possibility of debris falling down into the carb.
-
Subscribed. Very informative video! It will come in handy when I go to rebuild my Simplicity 6216 with this exact engine. Handed down from Dad, who bought the tractor new, the carb has never been touched except for a rebuild of the fuel pump 10 years ago. Today, I had a hydrolock on one cylinder when I went to start her up, so I suspect a faulty float valve/needle sealing.

Great video! Thank you for sharing!!

Nice job. I wound up buying a new carburetor after watching this video ahah
-
Excellent video.
-
Great video , I have a 16 horse Briggs Stratton twin there's vacuum on the engine i rebuild the pump as you showed ,. But it isn't sucking gas at all doesn't seem to have any vacuum leak's what is my next move i open for ideas thank you for your video
-
Good work & music!!! Even though I'm diehard AC⚡DC fan..
-
Helpful but was hoping you got into linkage hook ups a little more, could not see much from one angle and did not show both sides when fully assembled. Next time?
-
What is the foam ring for? Can't find it on my carb. I also have 2 New needle screws in my rebuild kit. Only one on the carb. Also my main jet is attached to an electric solenoid that didn't come in the kit. I'm assuming spare pieces are for other alternate models. Thanks. Great video.
-
The material you were calling THIS is the "Fuel Pump Diaphragm" as for the springs simply put a dab of grease on them and they will not move or fall out, and I do mean a SMALL dab!
-
Use a knife blade to hold springs and diaphragm in place as you assemble cover and screws
-
Ah ha! Magically at 5:50(ish) you're talking about the main jet, yet in the background,the fuel pump is already removed! Time travel? Are you related to Doc Brown? Lol!
-
First time I have ever saw any mechanic rebuild a carb and not soak it or check out the linkage or anything, you know, details of what it takes to do a job right.
