I thought you would like this "john deere carburetor" video.
It turns out the needle wasn't even connected to the float. Thats what the problem was all along. Oh well, now it has a nice clean carburetor.

I hope this "john deere carburetor" video really helps you.
I Just Picked Up 2 John Deere 111 Lawn Mowers For 0. One Ran Rough With A Bad Carb The other One Had A Blown Engine And A Rebuilt Carb. I Swithed Them And Now It Does Not Run Right. It Runs Great But Stalls When You Rev It Up. Any Ideas??? Please Comment

no help at all!
alright man thanks
You can get a spark tester at any auto parts store. I just usually pull the plug and set it on the head and pull it over. That works too.
As far as a carb rebuild kit, you can get them online or you can get them through a local tractor sales and service dealer. Thats what I usually do.
where can i get a spark tester? and i always take the plug out and put it on a piece of metal and test it and im also wondering where i can get a carb rebuild kit for a briggs
yeah like to check the primer, dont even remove the shroud! just take the pipe off the carb and cover it with ur thumb and press the primer. if you hear air leaking out-theres your problem and then disassemble the shroud.
thats an expansion plug they put in after machining/milling the entire thing. thats where a drill bit or something bored out the thing at several angles. its plugged so fuel or vaccum pressure doesn’t go where it could affect the function of the carb.
well, i believe most tecumsehs suck but their snowblower motors werent that bad.. the lawn mower engines are pretty cheap to buy and fix too. but i agree on the fact that they’re not as good as briggs and stratton…
Well, the one you are refering to distributes air into the float bowl creating pressure to allow fuel to flow to the throat. The reason they do that is because of the manufacturing process of the carburetor.
As far as knowing when it’s shot…. if it don’t clean up, or has holes in it, it is shot. Then you need to replace them.
What do they do? How can you tell when they’re “shot” ? Mine was covered in shit but I scraped it off. It surges at times but seems like it will do the job. Did I just sell myself to the devil? AGAIN??
That round concave thing at 6:22 is called a welch plug. There is usually two on a carburetor. Almost 99% of the time you don’t have to replace them when doing a rebuild unless of course they are absolutely shot.
Hey Matt at 6:22 there is a round concaved plug on the left hand side of the inside of the carb. I bought a carb kit that included a replacement one of these. Do you know what it does or why I would want to replace it? Thanks for your expert advice.
PS: I think that John Deere might have been manufactured by Ariens but not sure. It sure looks like one and I know at one time they did make the JD snow blowers. Just a little food for thought.
absolutely!!! Actually, most of the time, I don’t remove the carburetor. I just wanted to show the removal and cleaning process the best I could in the time alotted for the video. But, you are absolutely right, you really don’t always have to remove the whole carb, and in most cases, I won’t!! Just depends on the situation and what everything looks like when I do remove the bowl!!
Check out my latest carb rebuild!!! LMAO!!
Thanks for the info!
you know one easy thing to do is dump the gas put in fresh gas, then take the carbs float bowl scew out form under neath make sure you got gas flow then turn the gas off at the tank, next take the brass screw which also has your jets in it and clean it out with and air pic, then remove the bowl make sure there is no water in it , reasssemble then fire it up and all shoudl be good, your takeing to many steps that may not need to be taken , in fact 99% of the time thats the problem,
i hate those motors….with a passion
good vid man
good vid, i like the way the electric start is
I’m surprised no one mentioned taking the gas cap off. It sounds like it slowly died, more like it ran out of gas. If this fixed the problem, it would show that the hole in the cap is plugged causing a vacuum in the gas tank which won’t allow fuel to go to the engine. if it was the needle and float, it wouldn’t start, if it was carb adjustments, i don’t think it would run so well at first. filter is possible, as well as fuel lines. Possibly the linkage to the carb also.
@92GMC305 1983??
hey i have the same deere as that what year is yours?
I don’t know what the problem is but I like that John Deere.
you might have to much gas going to your carburetor and you might half to put a shutoff valve
TRY GETTIN A NEW OR USED CARB Even no u al ready changed it
Well the same thing happend to me and it was burning oil so it tore it down bored it .20 over new piston and connecting rod well she runs like new
Well take the fuel screw all the way up an then back it off 1/2 a turn U might be getting to much fuel I have one so I know how to fix it
IVE GOT PROBLEMS WITH MY 111
fuel oil mix is incorrect, also could be bad gas dirt in the lines, or vaccum leak in the line.
to much gas input
You might have bad gas.
chech the needle valves and see if they are set right, 1st close the needle valves all the way in and the engine should stall, then open it back out at 1 1/2 turns one on the carb bowl and the other under the air cleaner, not the idle stop screw,then restart it and see if that help you out, if the engine does not stall out after shutting the bowl needle valve all the way in, carb needs cleaning and rebuilt, make sure you have n air nozzle to blow out the jet holes on the carb, good luck
twist the screw on the bottom of the carb and see if it gets better or wors
carberater holding neadle (fucked)
see if the fuel filter is pinched shut, or just take it off. Had the same problem
make sure that Fuel filter is good , once its clean you may need to richen it up a little .
take the carb apart clean float and Jets make sure all little holes are clean ( use a needle ) and then re try
Does that riding lawnmower have an engine safety shut off switch connected to the riding seat? On my Craftsman riding lawnmower, if I climb out of the seat after a few seconds the engine with die.
it is either the float, choke or the needle
haha makea videos of it
Yep, Its All Good
did you check the h and l needle or the flowt
Tecumseh= awesome engine and GREAT carburetors… Tecumseh>>>Briggs
