Now this is the type of repair I JUST LOVE!!!!!!!!!! SIMPLE!!!!!!

Add a in line gas shut off valve feeding the carburetor

I like that all the tools he used to fix the mower were in the beginning of video

Thank you Mr. Raley!  My daughter's tractor was getting hard to start and your excellent video was the solution. You are The Man!  Well done Sir!  I removed the solenoid without removing the carburetor.  The solenoid was stuck in the closed position. I removed the rubber tip, pushed the metal plunger in the open position and disconnected the wire.  After reassembly, the mower started on the first try!  Thank you very much for your help! I wish you all the best.

This fix just fixed mine. Thank you for the help.

very good video

This guy is awesome 🤣

Thank you for the info

Excellent! It works! I did put a fuel line shut off valve between the carburetor and fuel pump. When done mowing I just shut off my gas and let it run out! Never get back fire and ready for winter storage every time I'm done mowing. (No gas sitting in the carburetor) 😅

Thanks alot help so much.

I suspect this was the problem with my 19 horse Troy-Bilt, when I tried to move it out of a storage shed.  It had fuel to the carb, and fired when I squirted starter fluid.  I didn't bother screwing around with it; I popped a beer and brought up Amazon on my laptop.  For $20.99, I bought a kit on sale that included a complete carburetor and the three associated gaskets, an air filter, a pre-filter sponge, a fuel filter, a spark plug, and even a valve cover gasket.  I have Amazon Prime, and the package got tossed over my fence early the next afternoon.

Since I was replacing all three gaskets anyway, I removed the bolt holding the spacer and ground wire, and twisted the old carb up until the solenoid cleared the bracket.  Took me about twenty minutes to install the new one and put everything back together, and it fired right up.

Of course, there have been times in my life when I wouldn't have had $20.99 to throw at a problem... in which case, a video like this would've come in right handy.

Thank you so much. Your help was absolutely spot on correct. You made it easy to understand and i followed your advise and steps and now the ole red is alive again.

You the man !

Thank you!

Thanks for this outstanding tutorial.  You saved me a big headache.  I kept the tip after cleaning, but if it acts up again, I may well get rid of it as you showed.  Great video!!

Excellent video! Very helpful!

GOOD VIDEO Thanks Ed  Loretto Ontario  Canada

Works for me. TKY.

In the process of repairing a 15HP Kohler that has not run for a year replaced the starter and a few other bits saw your video and it helped a lot thanks a lot

Good job. Exactly what I would’ve done!
