My name is Bre. I took two years of small engine repair at the local college. When I left school, I fell into a wonderful job at a local small engine shop where I worked the counter for a couple years. In 2010 my husband and I opened up our own small engine shop in central Arkansas where I am able to work alongside my family and best friends. We see over 2,000 pieces of small engine equipment every year, and answer 1,000's of small engine questions. We specialize in brands such as Briggs and Stratton, Kohler, Echo and Shindaiwa, but work everyday on MANY other brands like Stihl, Husqvarna, Honda, Craftsman, Remington, Red Max, Troy Bilt, Scag, Bad Boy, Hustler, World Lawn, Poulan, Mantis, Etc.. Hopefully, my experience I share, will save you Time, Money and Frustration in the future!

I found it's quicker, easier and sometimes cheaper to simply replace the entire carburetor assembly. Because if one gasket/seal goes bad, it won't be long before the others will be going bad too.

I went the fuel shutoff route on my riding mower.

This happened last week to me after letting my rider sit for 3 weeks. Wouldn’t crank , hydrolocked. Pulled spark plugs, shot gas from here to Tennessee , reinstalled plugs and fired right up. I’m installing a fuel shut off this weekend. Thanks to you taryl and my dad

Great advice! Shut the fuel off and run it out of fuel. Your future self will thank you.

Hi Chickanic.
Totally spot on 👍
Another reason the float bowl seal might leak is because they tried to fix it themselves, and didn't fit the bowl on correctly so when they tightening up the floatbowl bolt, the bottom of the float bowl got pulled up so when it is sat correctly, there isn't enough pressure pushing on the seal to seal it.
Just a few gently taps to push it out stops the leak 😁

Thank you Chickanik! I moved to a small town in Florida and haven’t found a good small engine repair shop near me. Now I do all my own repairs thanks to you! Please keep up the great work your doing, I look forward to all your hard work and quality teaching videos 😎👍

Bre, enjoy your Sunday and thank you again.

Always take your advice and use it to fix my lawn equipment. All us viewers would not know what to do without your expertise and knowledge. Thank you for sharing. Have a good day!!!!!!!!

👍🏻 There’s a common theme in many of your videos that a huge number of people not only don’t maintain their equipment but actually abuse it!
Myself, I have other things I’d rather spend money on. It only takes a few minutes when you’re done using a tool to store it properly and occasional maintenance is a heck of a lot cheaper than the hourly shop rates of a professional mechanic.
My chain saw is a 1980 McCulloch 610 my lawn tractor is circa 1998. I found a 1972 coast to coast rototiller in a dumpster that just needed some TLC and it’s served me well for the last 20 years!
That Lowes electric mower is a perfect example of how low our expectations have sunk.
I truly enjoy your show!

Great video! I have been repairing small engines since I was 9 years old, today I am 59, I have never come across anyone who who covered this topic as well as you have. The only thing I have come across that caused the leaking aside from what you mentioned is
sometimes the float has been twisted to one side and it scrubs the inside of the float-bowl or a dented float bowl.

I don't waste any time buying any internal carburetor components.i always replace the carburetor which on Amazon is $12 -15 bucks and it's the best fix on everything I work on with any kind of fuel related issues..I've been a small engine technician for over 25 years. I love watch and love all of your videos because you are professional and very talented..

I wish you had been my 7th grade shop teacher. I would have learned a whole lot more than I did. My teacher didn't know internal combustion from flatulence...No wonder we could never find top-dead-center...You're the best!

If ever in doubt...just take it to Chickanic

I've gotten more valuable information off of this chick's channel than most of the other small engine channels combined! (And she's easier to look at than Fat Bubba's mower repair)

I had to put 1 on my old mower, the only issue I had with it was remembering to shut it off.

Back in the late 1950's I rode 1940's Cushman motor scooters. Then I moved up to 1950's and 60's Harley Davidsons. Both had carbs. that were prone to leak at times, usually due to a stuck float. I carried a rock in my pocket just to bang on the float bowl...worked 90% of the time. It was usually trash between the needle and seat...from the 32 cents per gal. gasoline we were using.

Wow! Started watching you when it was about 75,000 now you’re getting close to 300,000.
Keep up the great work with you and your husband. God bless

Happy Sunday morning to you Bre, from sunny South Carolina. Great advice. I installed gas shut offs on all my gas powered equipment 25 years ago and I must tell you it has paid off. Never have any problems. I always run my equipment dry. It really works. Thanks for the vid.

I’m sure I haven’t done nearly as many Tecumseh carbs as you all, but I’ve done a bunch, at least 100+, and I’ve never had one leak into the air filter. I had several not work when I was first starting out, but I gained some experience through the school of frustration and soon was able to clean them correctly. Now I prefer the Tecumseh to Briggs, although Briggs are much easier, I have had issues with the needle and seat not seating properly. I just had one. A few days ago that I had apart multiple times only to eventually replace the carb. I had replaced the needle and seat and float, as well as thoroughly cleaning it. Still leaked past the needle. Your tutelage is most welcome.
