    Really well done, a clear presentation without the irrelevant information one often finds on presentations of this sort. I was just about to buy an aftermarket carburetor, but you talked me out of it. Thanks!
  • @dogomanmosca7436
    Great video! Well done from start to finish, learned a fair bit, confident to attempt a rebuild. Thank you

    You're a good wrench Brad. I am 70 and know Harley's like the back of my old hand, and you my friend are a good shit, doing a great public service! Glad to support you and thanks!
  • Wanted to say thanks again- The snowblower is working great! Bought the Carb bowl tool you suggested! Your help was invaluable! Thank you for sharing your expertise!

    I used to manufacture tools one of the items was a plastic magnetic ring that went around a screwdriver. I called it a Stayzon®️ that would be very helpful when inserting a screw into the carburetor. You can also get larger ones that will work with sockets or I’ve even used them when drilling steel to collect metal shavings. I enjoy your videos!

    Amazing amount of clarity with a ton of information being presented! This video got me through a surging problem with the Tecumseh engine on my Ariens snow blower. Thank you!
  • @seang.829
    Great job explaining these steps to put this Carberator together... I had the bowl off of mine and came across your video to watch to see how the bowl was orientated with the low spot... Perfect thank you!
  • @ryanh869
    Excellent video! Really appreciated the close attention to detail and fine camera work 👍🏼Thank you so much

    I spray Kroil oil on the emulsion tube, let it sit for a few minutes and they usually pop right out.
  • @jimkoca
    Outstanding video. The detailed commentary and close-up video was especially helpful for me to reassemble my neighbor's snow blower that I messed up by removing the bowl to drain old gas when the float pin fell out. I then lost the needle valve & spring also. Using your video I purchased the kit from a local small engine repair shop and "carefully" replaced the missing parts and put it back together. Thank You for making a video with enough details to show and explain how things (should) work.

    I worked in a small engine repair shop for a while. For carb bowls that had buildup like yours did, we used a Dremel instead of a wire brush to clean it. Works like a charm!
  • GREAT video! Love the attention to detail explanation and close up camera work.

    I have a 1984 Sears lawn mower that I refuse to let die. That Tecumseh is an amazing engine and just keeps working. Much larger oil capacity, gas capacity and power compared to the Sears Honda I bought to replace it (but only used for a couple of weeks because its under powered). The mower base is mainly made out of pop rivets and sheet metal at this point, but it still does the job. Had fuel delivery issue and took carb apart (first time in 40 years). I was cleaning it with compressed air and blew the needle seat somewhere in my shop so the job grew from a quick clean to a carb rebuild. Although needle/seat/gasket kits are cheap online ( you can get multiple kits for under $20 - no idea if they are any good), I just went to my local supplier and got one for $10 CAD. Thanks for the guidance. Much appreciated - especially the orientation of the seat. I just reassembled it this afternoon, flushed the tank out and that engine started right up and purrs better than it has in the 24 years since I inherited it from the previous house owner.
  • Great video and camera work! Just picked up an Ariens Rocket VII tiller and an old Horse tiller today. Both need carb work! Subbed and thumbs up! I love restoring/repairing the older stuff. Hands down better than the new garbage being made today.
  • @tconside
    Thank you, I followed your video and, successfully rebuilt my first carburetor. My 20+ year old craftsman snowblower will live to see another winter.
  • @gilreynolds9282
    Thank you for showing me the use of the tool to set float height. Been doing it by “eye ball”. For a few hundred of them. Nice to know the proper procedure.
  • @jasonfast5355
    Thank you thank you thank you! I've never done anything like this and your video helped me feel like an expert when it was all said and done. Will definitely be subscribing to your channel!
  • Thanks for all of your great videos. I have learned so much about carburetor repair. Keep up the good work!
  • @user-vy4ko7ms3p
    Got my first Ariens and a brand new one. Doing some maintenance on the old 24 inch 824 model. Your channel IS SIMPLY AMAZING. Love the way you explain things. And this particular vid has been very helpful to me. Thank you so much and God bless you
