Free Craftsman YTS 3000 riding lawn mower with a Briggs and Stratton engine won't start. Can we figure out what's wrong with it?

Nice job! Would love to see that old snapper in the background running!

Someday I would like to do a full restoration on the Snapper riding mower. I think they are pretty neat machines. Thanks for the kind words!

Magneto/magnets will need attention. They are easy to replace. Great work and video getting that old gal going. Just worked on one to use as a softball field dragging tractor. Enjoyed it greatly.

Thanks for this. I've got the yt4000 and I've learned a thing or 2 from your video.

adding 1 ounce of two stroke oil per 5 gallons of gasoline will keep these platinum engines running forever and they will not use any oil. I have a YT3000 that runs like its been charmed since 2018. I bought the machine used for 200.00

We used to add 2 stroke oil to the gas in our demolition derby cars back in the day. Certainly can’t hurt the mower when mixed properly .

I think I would superglue the cracks in the magnets and see if it helps

@GaryAhl 3 ай бұрын

I’ll keep your suggestion in mind for the next time I come across broken magnets. Thanks

How does the lawnmower charge the battery without a generator?

@GaryAhl Ай бұрын

Not very well.
