Hidden Tecumseh Carburetor Vent Hole - Stop The Flooding! #shorts

For the love of god, learn how to pronounce Tecumseh

Thank you Donnie. God[Bible] Bless you.

This was incredibly helpful. I watched all your Tecumseh videos. My old simplicity wouldn't idle, backfired, hunted. The tiny hole on the main jet body and the carb adjustment along wth the tiny breather on the carb exterior fixed my issues. Purring!

Thank You, very much.

Thanks for all your great videos, They have helped me a lot. First time using my older Craftsman 9/28 this season and discovered that the engine does not run at idle, low speed. This summer I completly disassembled it, used a ultrasonic cleaner and as per your videos, cleaned every orfice with welding tip cleaners and blew them out with compressed air. After the cleaning It ran great at both idle and low speed so I thought that it was all good. Had some snow today and discovered that it will only run at full speed or it will turn off when it reaches the off circuit switch. What am I missing? I have another spare carb ready to swap out as well as 2 other blowers so its no big deal other than getting it to run correctly through the throttle range. Thanks for any advice.

A solid use for an old E or B guitar string

How do you find this stuff? Or know about it?

Thank you very good to know 😊

Your videos are very informative and to the point. Most appreciate all your continues help and videos

Awesome tip, Thanks for all you do.

I used a wire cleaned the vent hole and blew it out, rebuild kit, still flooding. What can still cause this?

what is the purpose of this hole?

Broooo. ..
Lucky I stumbled upon your video by accident.
The amount of time I have wasted on this carb... you have just saved me from wasting so many more hours on this.
I will like and subscribe to show my appreciation (from New Zealand).
Too much Bro, you are THE MAN!

Solved my problem. God bless you!

Thanks Dony! You're like a superhero, always there to save the day!
All the best! 🍁🇨🇦🥌

👍👍

Interesting that the carb off a snowblower has the hole, but a carb off a generator doesn’t . Both engines are H50.

Hello donyboy please record video how to start chain saw when don't work one year

I might see if my dads Honda lawnmower carburettor has the same hole because it tends to run.bit rich (black smoke under load on acceleration) !

Didn't we just see this?

That would be a #79 or #80 drill bit

Imposible to get parts of this model

Awesomeness!!!

I purchased a generic replacement carb for my Tecumseh engine from Amazon (0HH60 engine, 6 HP). I have the leak problem as described but I cannot find the the vent hole anywhere???!! I've look over this thing extensively and it's a new carb so there's no dirt to hide the hole. It has the red bulb. Can anyone help??

TK U again our friend

Tankyou

There's little plastic piece and every time we push the primer. Gas squirts off that little where the plastic hole is is there a reason why

My carburetor has a little plastic piece on the side. And every time we push the primer it's worth gas i'm

I just cleaned, then adjusted the float of my Tecumseh carb because it was surging. When I put it back together and opened the gas valve that vent started leaking gas.
I adjusted the float again with no change.
Thoughts?

Im only here to learn how to pronounce ’Tecumseh’. Still not convinced 😂

Good info thank you, so much for the help.

I did learn that

If primer bulb has a hole in middle may not matter

What if gas is coming out the vent hole?

Thanks for the video but it is not pronounced teh-cum-see it his pronounced teh-cum-seh

I was fixin to buy a new carb because I couldn't figure out why it kept leaking.
Donyboy73 is the shiznit!

On a Briggs & Stratton snowblower engine, is there an equivalent hole? I checked mine but just couldn't find any...

Thank You!

Why would fuel keep spitting out of that hold when you prime it?

I've been pulling the primer bulb tube after priming to provide a vent. I can't see the hole where you're showing it.

Have an 8/25 craftsman blower that runs decent but then stalls out. Plug keeps coming out a little wet when it happens but not black. It'll run again if you start it back up but I never saw that hole when I got it running again after it sat for 10 years. Messing with the adjustments repeatedly and checking compression hot (low at 118psi??). Maybe this hole is blocked!

Thanks bro, appreciate your video and anwser to other. Got my snowblower working perfectly because of you, replaced the carburetor with a new one, but fuel was leaking crazy from the overflow, opened the tank, float was defect. Replacing with my old float and everything is perfect.

Exactly my problem

Wish I knew about this a month ago! Would have saved me a bunch of time, money and frustration!

What would cause the carb bowl not filling up with gas. I cleaned the carb, everything is open and clean. After turning engine over 20 times there is absolutley no gas in the bowl. Would that be the float needle valve not letting fuel into the bowl of the carb.

Thank you for this info. I couldn't figure out why it kept leaking out. I had to use an airhose placed over the hole to clean mine completely. I even used a thin guitar string that went far in there, but the airhose is what opened it up

Just seeing this video, I have a few questions.
I rebuilt the Tecumseh carburetor on a lawnboy 6.5 hp mower (10685). Same carburetor you have shared videos about years ago.

Do they have the vent hole like the one you reference in this video?
Also what causes wide open rpm’s at start up? The carburetor is serviced, and linkage placement is correct. The pull cord had the kickback when starting it but not sure related. I notice some play in the small idler arm mounting clip/bolt that protrudes from the block… could this be causing wide open throttle?

Ye Gods....where does it end! 🤪

Don boy you are the man with the master plan 👊🏽

Holy crap I'll guarantee you not very many people at all know about that you just saved of headaches thank you Donny awesome tip
