Lightweight is good and what did I use it for it’s a lawnmower kzitem.infoUgkxTPN04aT-Qdjr_KS3ql7ng8wnU3wwsCqk also recommend Yes it is lightweight so hence not as robust as our old one. But if you take care it does the job really well.

I’ve come a long way from my first lesson in lawnmower maintenance. I found out that you’re supposed to change, but more importantly, keep oil in the mower so it works properly. I didn’t do that for my first mower and while cutting the grass it caught on fire and the engine block literally exploded and sent shards of metal all over the yard. Turns out it had no oil. At all. Somehow I survived and now I watch videos on what you’re supposed to do. If you want to know what you’re not supposed to do… I just told you.

Thank you !!! 12:25... this is the exact thing I needed to see. My neighbor was stressing out about the mower not running after replacing the carb. Turns out he didn't install the O-ring before putting in the retainer ring. He just placed the ring on the mower shaft and it wasn't even the correct size. Luckily he saved the old mower carbs and we have the spare parts.

I’ve had tricky to figure out intermittent issues from a gas cap vent that was clogged. It would run for a while then sound like it didn’t have gas because the tank wasn’t able to get fresh air. Also I’ve seen intermittent running issue from a melted kill switch wire under the fan shroud.

If you take the pull start housing off 3- 8mm bolts it's a lot easier to work on. You should go the extra mile and before installing your jet housing use cleaner to clean the housing passages, your fuel intake, it's gravity fed. I gave mine a tuneup this morning, I bought it at a yard sale for $10 and he said it was froze up, muddoppers built nest in the fan housing, cleaned the magnetic wheel and mag surfaces with sand paper, gapped it at 0.012 on the magnetic surface, started with 1 pull and he said it set for 5 year's. Spark ,gas, air. New filter $8. Lowe's

If you are trying to clean a Briggs & Straton Briggs & Stratton 500 158 cc, carburetor, its totally different. The carburetor is mounted on the gas tank, and the gas tank attached to the main body. There is no tube feeding gas to the carburetor. The innards are also quite different. For example, the gas tank filter is on the end of a straw that descends into the gas tank. There is also no bowl, and don't think the jets can be removed. Growth experience.

The Great Lawn Mower Adventure! Chapter 2 I did it! I took my courage in both hands and went at it first thing in the morning. With your guidance everything went very well, (I had to pause and go look at the instructional video again in the middle of the operation, but I did everything you said, and there it stood.. all in one piece again!! ..no extra nuts and bolts. I am so surprised! (I may be incredibly handsome, but I'm not too bright.. and I'm not sure about the handsome part) Now for the moment of truth: I took a deep breath and pulled the cord!! and it actually STARTED!!! first time!! Well how about that! I was already trying to figure out how to afford a new mower.. You are an absolute genius! You did it!! Thank you so much! (Now, I got a 1956 Cadillac that needs a tune up.. are they anything like lawn mowers?)

Some people dip it in a little to test how wet it is. Others prefer to screw right off the bat. I say it’s best to dip it a couple times, check it out, then go in all the way and check again. Either way it’s best to always read the manual.

With these carbs, the main problem is with the main jet. The Federal government wanted it to be fuel efficient so the hole in the main jet is very small ( less than .015")to make sure it is fuel efficient. You need to drill out the main jet to .021"-22" because if you do not it will clog up again and again. You also need to add a fuel filter and a fuel shut off (so you can run the carb dry before putting it up for the winter). All of the replacement carbs have the same very small hole in the main jet, so now you know.

I've seen several other video's regarding this specific B&G mower with the exception that they had an automatic choke valve instead of a primer. And it appears that the problem was a clogged main fuel jet valve that caused the no start/run condition. After the main jet orifice was cleared of whatever was obstructing it with a strand of copper electric wire, the mower ran fine, until this tiny little fuel jet became obstructed again and had to be cleared.

There is a little hole, dead center of the primer button. If you don't cover that little hole with your finger when you push, it won't prime. Or the bubble is busted. But probably your not covering up the hole in the primer bubble
