Is your engine surging, hunting, or running rough at idle? In this video, I'll show you the simple carburetor trick that fixes surging engines on lawn mowers, pressure washers, and other small engine equipment – no new parts needed.
Includes Honda lawnmowers, pressure washers, generators, tillers, etc. Whether you have a surging lawn mower, hunting pressure washer, or rough-idling trimmer, this fix addresses the root cause.
The pilot jet passage in your carburetor controls fuel flow at idle. When it gets clogged with varnish or debris, your engine surges or hunts because it's getting inconsistent fuel. I'll show you how to clean the pilot jet properly using this method.
