THIS WAS THE BEST VIDEO FOR THIS PROBLEM ON RUclips!!!

My 2 year old Toro self-propelled mower kept stalling. I replaced air filter, gas cap (no vapor lock), cleaned carb just like you did, cleaned gas tank, replaced gas and spark plug ( it was fouled black sooty). Carb was clean, no dirt no clog.
It still stalled just as bad. Then I tightened the self-propell cable. Now it runs like a demon! No stalling, no carbon fouling. Starts right up.
All because of that cable being a bit slack.

Thank you! I followed all your steps and got the mower running again. You saved me a grip of cash for service repair.

Good video like that extra screen on small things being worked on 😊

You are the man! Wifey killing me over two weeks to mow the lawn. After following your detailed directions and with tlc and patience I just mowed the lawn. Thank you. Does this mean wifey will chill out now? Only until she finds another chore for me in the near future. Lol. Gracias amigo.

Thanks for the video T-bone!! Easy to follow directions and made my chore a lot easier. I was able to live up to my prediction of getting this done a lot quicker, impressing my wife. You the man!!!

Good tip about the choke lever hanging up against the metal bracket. I have come across that problem many times especially with Husqvarna mowers. Good video. Thanks.

Watched a video before yours. Let me tell you, your explanation is light years ahead of the other guy I watched. Going to do this tomorrow. Wish me luck y’all!

My mower started right up after watching this video, thanks!

One of the best DIY videos I’ve ever seen on RUclips. Worked exactly the way you showed it. Thank you thank you!

Great video. Voice volume was perfect.

I just got a free m220 from a coworker. Going to follow your steps & hopefully get it running again. Great video!

Great video. Camera worked great. Wish more folks used them.

Excellent video, you're even getting the PIP in it! 😀👍

love your teaching with that southern accent thx for sharing your knowledge. I will fallow you from now on.

Love Mr TBone, he really simplfy things. A fool need not error after viewing his videos. Thanks a lot Mr TBone!

I like this guy. First time digging into a plastic carb so I thought I'd look for tips online. Totally confident now. Thanks.

Thanks
all I needed to know was how to get it apart without breaking something I didn't know it was a bunch of O-rings but thank you thank you thank you. thanks especially for getting straight to the point.

I like the plastic carbs. I've never had one that i couldn't clean. Nice video T-Bone! 👍🎥🇺🇸

Another great video. The new camera is crystal clear and the audio is perfect. Keep up with the great info. Take care.

One of the fastest and most proficient carburetor cleaners I have seen yet. It's a good thing.He explains the important points and slows down with close up shots to illustrate them. This good old boy is a real professional, Great job. Although I didn't see him check the oil! 😁👍👍👍

Mine was a different model carb but basically the same. Ty sir. Neighbors lawnmower wouldn't stay running. I knew it was a fuel issue. Took carb off , dismantled it and cleaned as you stated. Reassembled and whaullah. Ty again

Thank you so much for this video! I've never worked on a lawn mower a day in my life! I found that there was debris and water in the gas causing my mower not to start. You're a blessing!

great job sir, i have been helping monroe at his shop and been working on plastic carbs myself. thanks for another video . have a great week end .

Thank you T-Bone, saved a trip to the small engine repairman!

Thank you knindly for sharing your knowledge.
Awesome professional work!

Extremely helpful! I’m going to go fix my craftsman M220 right now!

Thanks for the detailed video. Mower is like new again!

Great video ! Ty it was so easy because of you ! “One Pull” all done

I want to thank you for your videos, I've learned a lot about small engines watching you, I can build and work on cars just never messed with mowers. Keep up the awesome work and keep those videos coming.👍🏻👍🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻

I fix mowers for neighbours. I haven't had to dismantle a plastic carb yet, but now I am ready when it finally happens. Thanks, and cheers from Canada.

I got a Walmart return one time in a lot of push mowers , it was a new mower and cleaned the plastic carb a couple of times . It had a miss that just couldn't get out , ordered a new cheap Carb from Amazon and installed it - it fixed the miss . I sold as an almost new push mower , so didn't mind putting a new carb on it . I've worked on a lot of these plastic carb's and 99% time just dirty .

i have seen guys pop the check valve ball out too because gunk can get stuck between the tube and the ball....especially since that gas was full of crud...great video

I have been working on my mower ALL day. You video is by far the best. I am going to try again tomorrow. A guy at O'REILLY said maybe my float is bad but this mower has identical guts to mine so I have a little renewed hope. Thank you.

Yes! Great video. Easy to follow step by step instructions helped me get my mower running again. Thank you!

I hear a lot of bad on these carbs , I find them easy to clean and very forgiving . no rust or corrosion . simple to install and easy to disassemble .

Thanks for that tip at the end it’s what actually made my mower work the kill switch was stuck I bent the thing up and it started first shot other then I have to stick a flat head to shut it off but not a big deal better than taking the carb apart ten diff times for nothing you got my grass cut today Ty very much !!!

This is the best video I have found. I am not a mechanic but I watched this and followed step by step and it worked. Saved myself a little money. Thank you so much. William in Texarkana, Arkansas

Well done very clear very understanding and very informative

Good video bro - very helpful
Congrats from Aotearoa New Zealand 🇳🇿

HEY T-BONE I TRULY APPRECIATE THIS VIDEO. I HAVE LEARNED MUCH FROM THIS. THANKS A LOT.

Thanks this video got my lawn mower running after a few years of sitting

❕❕Thank You T-Bone❕❕
After sitting all winter, I tried to start my lawn mower. It caught on fire!
This video was exactly what I needed to fix it. Thanx again!.

Thanks you just showed me something that I didn't know on them carbs. I know what the problem is with mine. I didn't know the jets came apart. Mine runs good till it needs more gas. I bet them small holes are stopped up. I enjoy watching your videos.

iv got the same mower and thought the plasic carb needed changing going out there now to clean it ,appreciate the video

thank you so much!!! Off to my garage to see if this is why my mower wont start!! Excellent vid SIr!

the screen in screen detail is great!

I enjoy your videos, even though I don't have the type's of equipment you work on,. I just enjoy watching thanks 👍

Great job. Got to love it when a plan comes together

I like the new camera, sort of shaky cam, but I get used to it. I think a slight tilt down on your head strap and you are golden. Say Hay to Ms T-Bone for me. Cheers!

Nice job! Just did the same thing for my mower a few days ago.

jus showing how you took those linkages off was sure sign to me that y'all got the right camera for the operation. U get a big atta boy for that alone! And that zoom detail of where you're at is priceless as well . Now tell us what kind of a camera are U using to film this ? cause its a good one! Maranatha ! The Lord is Coming !

excellent video, extremely informative and covered ALL the extras...

Your cam works very good. Like the split screen shots.

great video great teacher I like the way you explained it!!

Thanks for the tutorial!

Straight and to the point. I like it

Thanks for the video, great information! That old double bone GM spark plug socket for the 3000 series V6 cars - I've got one knocking around somewhere in the toolbox too.

Thanks for your video
Very well explained. I picked up an almost new Toro lawnmower that would not start. It starts now.

Great video. Did everything you said and started up first pull. I did have a hard time getting the gas tank off, that’s all.

the new camera and camera work are excellent!

The new camera works good T- bone. I hope all is well with you and Mrs T-Bone 🔧👍

Thanks Mr TBone

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 One thumbs up for every time you said y'all! Thanks for you great video, it made it easy to fix my carb!

Great video! My mower is now fixed. :)

Thanks for the excellent video. Luv ya T-Bone !!

The new camera did really well, puts us right in the action. 👍
Nice video T-Bone 🙂

Great work love the pip something new I like there on your videos. Great work getting this mower up and running 🔧

Love the new camera angles!!!!

New camera is great - on your forehead?? Love your videos - wish you had a new one everyday!!!

Nice job. Definitely knows what ur doing.

Great video. Enjoyed the new camera view. Your approach is methodical and goal directed. Mechanical ingenuity at its best. Enjoyed complete video. I always learn something new everytime I see you perform miracles. Thankyou Sir.

I like to use dielectric/silicone grease on all O-rings since it’s already on my bench for other uses. I also apply some any place two plastic parts rub on each other.

your new system works good

Woo-hoo nice job camera did great. The thing-a-ma-bob, well it's an emulsion tube. 🐓👍🏻

Great details and the new camera worked marvelous.

I never knew that plastic tube came out I’ve watched a lot of videos about this carb and even cleaned one out,(I was successful in the mower running but I think I’m going to take the carb off and clean it again and take that tube off and clean the emulsion tube, I need to do a deep cleaning anyway so I’m going to do it while I have it apart thanks for the info

Really it’s such a easy carb to clean and should last for years if fuel is clean

Excellent, thoughtfully produced video. The fuel cap on my mower was a pos, always collecting dirt around the lip. After doing this same procedure twice this summer, a third stall out on a customers yard lead my to a different solution. I beat the sht out of the mower with a hammer, rendering it inop. My heart thanks me every day. I don't have time to deal with trash out in the field. I'm always careful refueling, have never had any problems except with these modern, over engineered piles of garbage.

Straight to the point!!! Your a good teacher boss thanks

T Bone one of your best videos yet. Excellent video quality with new camera (was it mounted to your head?) and good camera angles and inserts with very good quality audio. 100% accurate detailed information provided BRAVO! The only thing i would add it that we always pressure test the carb with our pressure gauge test tool to ensure needle valve sealing when it is upside down prior to reinstallation, then we fill with fuel to see if it leaks (basically bench testing) before installing the air filter housing.

Thanks T-Bone! Another great video!

Well thank you for the video T-Bone video was excellent

Just what i was looking for! You the man!

Worked, thanx! Owe u a cold one!

Bravo! Thanks!

This is the best example I’ve found. You have a new follower.
