  90% of what I see is that Diaphragm failing. Spraying the old diaphragm  causes  it to curl up and become unusable. As a general rule, ANY TIME you pull that plastic carburetor  from the tank, that diaphragm  should be replaced unless you need to get back into it right away. Brake cleaner is generally a lot less damaging to the diaphragm as well. Good video and good to mention the crud in that well. I always clean the whole tank anyways. You can see that crud as soon as the plastic carb is off.

  Excellent tutorial!  No fluff, no unnecessary BS.  I wish every YouTube tutorial was as fast-paced and to the point as this one.

  1st time I hear that advice. Turn it over spark plug up or carberator up. Don’t know how I made it through my entire adult life without that advice. Makes complete sense. Solves so many problems

  Magic. Battling with my B&G mower for 2 years. Was about to go buy a new one until I found your video. Followed your instruction and found the well area black. Put it back together and started on the second pull. Thank you!

  I have a Weedeater Sprint II I bought years ago- in fact, I can&apos;t remember when. TBH I have NEVER done any maintenance on it. &nbsp;Recently it started running unevenly- the engine would speed up, then decrease. I thought it about time to do something. I changed out the air filter and spark plug and did an oil change, all for the first time.<br>It was still running roughly, so I went online and read that it was probably the carburetor, but I could not find instructions for any mower even remotely like mine. until I saw yours.<br><br>I just followed your video closely, finally reassembling everything and, holding my breath, fired he mower up. PERFECT! It runs like new. I am so pleased- you saved me a hefty bill at a repair shop. And you got yourself another subscriber. Thank you so much. You rock!

  I went from knowing nothing about these mowers, to fixing other peoples Murray B&amp;S mowers. Ever since I watched this video, I have been curious to learn more about these motors, and this is where I started.

  I was so apprehensive to even start on my stone dead lawnmower. Today I mustered the courage to trust your guidelines and hope for the best. <br>Well, I&apos;m glad to report that not only that my lawnmower has come back to life but I&apos;m also so thrilled at my new found confidence in myself and what I&apos;ve been able to do for the first time. I feel like a fully flexed mechanic already, thanks to you. Awesome detailed narratives and great tips and guidance throughout. Thank you again immensely.

  Best advice I ever got: &nbsp;Don&apos;t use fuel containing ethanol in small engine/lawn equipment. &nbsp;Saves a lot of headaches.
