Absolutely - GD loud music and no BS selfie poses for the camera - keep focused on the job at hand.

LIKEWISE no Bull*******!😀🇺🇸

Yea, sometimes the damned music annoys me so bad that I leave! I do the same thing when I’m shopping

ive music louder then voice! How do I turn it off!

@@surferbud5863 f

Awesome story! Thanks for letting me know. Good job getting it done yourself!

Pppp

Congratulations! And thanks for the note. So, how do you really feel about your brother-in-law? Ha ha ha!

Hahaha! He's fine if I don't have to talk to him. 😊

You took his balls away instantly lol.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT: Brownie points saying is not like girl scouts cookies. It's actually putting your nose in his poop factory

Good for you.

Thank you.

Good tip👍

If you got a Honda mower there is no problem with anything. I leave fuel in it over the winter months(regular gas) and it starts on the second pull. Been doing that for 7+ years.

@@bunzeebear2973 I also have a Honda mower. I've had it about three years and it has a fuel off switch between the fuel tank and carb. So, that's exactly how I turn it off. BTW, Honda is a Japanese word for " bullet-proof" Motorcycles, mowers, yeah, I've had a lot of Honda's.

Loo

Even easier, put a vice grip on like he did and leave it there.

Thanks, bro. And thanks for not complaining about my long fingernails!

@@Buckwsr never noticed.

Thanks for the video.

I am ready to learn more

Teach me

Make us a video. You can make money from posting you tube videos.

Got news for you Chuck, but I will pass along a revelation to me that I just never thought about. We're all following in someone else's shoes who we appreciate and now we- meaning you- have attempted to pass along your skill. Thank you! You too, Buck!😉

That's sure the truth, brother. I'd like to be an apprentice to a mechanic and learn. I have a great place to help other people and even run a small buiss. My neighbor was a small engine mechanic, big engine too probably. Best man I've met. I wish I would've tutored under him. He went home a few years ago🥺 and is sorely missed in countless ways

Thanks, Andy. So you don't like music, huh? I was about to break out in song....

Thank you, Carl! Great job!

Great comment, Brendan. Good job on fixing it yourself!

Wow! That’s awesome.

Thanks for the note. Good job fixing it yourself!

Thank you for the kind words.

Very good advice! Thanks

Those are files. You don't want to make the hole bigger than it is on a carb. On a torch, it is not an issue if the hole is bigger. Molten metal blobs go up the hole so you need a file to knock it out. Gas varnish is like jelly, so smooth shaft is preferred.

Excellent! Glad you're getting more life out of your mower!

☺👣🕳🤣✌

Thanks. Good tip.

Great job getting it done yourself!!!

You go GIRL.....

@@MICHIGANMIKE12 Thank you Mike.

GREAT!! Thanks for letting me know. Made my day!

Just performed the exact procedure, on the lawnmower after watching your video. Worked a treat, and started first pull. Her indoors now thinks I’m a mechanical genius. Thanks for all your great instruction. Greetings from Ireland, were the grass is always greener, we’ll that what I was always told as a gosson , small boy 👦.

I do it the simplest way. Once I have finished my mowing, before I store it, I will draw out the remaining residue from the carburetor so that it will not get clogged over time. The next time i want to use it I can immediately get it started without getting my hand dirtied. :D

@@fn4rillo Best is to run ethanol-free E0 gas with a fuel stabilizer for the last tank of gas at the end of the season. Run it until it quits, then drain the bowl. Most require removal; some have a drain plug.

@@fn4rillo How do you do this procedure? thanks.

this mower doesn't seem to have a fuel shutoff (ref vyse grips on fuel line). Not so easy to run the carb dry

Thank you so much! But to be honest, I love going to HD!!!

@@Buckwsr That's okay, I recently left that place but wound up at Walmarts to get pliers and knee pads. Lol

I know this is a year late but get you some welding tip wire brushes. They make them in a few different sizes they are very thin and can fit into these small passages and clean them out very well.

Oh yeah! Just keeping it real!

@@Buckwsr could I ask you a lawnmower related question? I have a 2014 Yardman that I can get running only by blocking the carb butterfly opening with a an old sock (keeping the air filter assembly off) ...it will fluctuate but if I keep adjusting the level of blockage with the sock it keeps running ...Immediately dies if I remove sock. Any ideas for me? I don't have that main jet at the bottom of the bowl so not sure if I can reach it to clean it out.

@@jaimhaas5170 What kind of engine does it have? All carbs have jets and a way to remove the carburetor bowl. Honda engines can be harder to access that, but Briggs & Stratton are usually pretty easy. A carburetor serves to mix the proper amounts of fuel and air going into the combustion chamber. I would say your carburetor is not getting enough fuel. As you limit the amount of air with the sock, essentially choking the engine, it is able to suck more fuel. What you need to do is to remove the carburetor and give it a good cleaning, cleaning out all the jets and little orifices. There are videos on youtube that show you how to do that. Alternately, you could get an inexpensive replacement carburetor on ebay or amazon. That's probably a simpler option. Good luck.

Thank you kindly...I will give it another try.

@@jaimhaas5170 You're running just on the choke and not the main carb. Remove carb and clean it completely. There are youtube videos to speed you on your way. Also - STAY AWAY from gasoline with Ethanol in it - bad, bad, bad! Joe S

The plug on my mower bowel does not have holes to be cleaned

Wow! Who would pay that kind of money? Cheaper to buy a new mower. Thanks for watching and commenting.

An honor to be of assistance to you, sir! Good job!

Great note, Charles. Thank you.

Glad the video was helpful!

Oh yeah. Those break ties are handy!

Good job doing it yourself! Take your wife out for ice cream!

Good job! Yep, just 10 minutes and you're back in business! Would've cost you $50 bucks at the shop. Go buy yourself some ice cream!

Thanks, John! Good job fixing it yourself!

Good job. You owe me $150.00 Ha ha!

@@Buckwsr lol!! Checks in the mail!! :)

🤣

Rayno

Thanks, Dave! That's what I call putting the "do" into "do-it-yourself"!!

Thanks for the note. Made my day! Glad you got the mower running!

In Canada, a better solution is to use Premium gas (91 octane). Here it is E0 (pure gasoline), no alcohol, so it does not separate in storage. Aslo, before storage, I pull the plug, and squirt some WD40 in the cylinder, pull the starter to spread it around, then put the plug back in. In the spring, I also give a squirt into the cylinder, and 'bam' it starts and runs.

I also use the fuel stabilizer and I run the tank dry when I put my mower away for the winter.

@@LasVegas68 what is the point of adding "stable" if you run tank dry?? I always run tank dry and never have an issue in the spring.

@@paulmoffat9306 Here in the States there are some gas stations that sell non-ethanol gas only in 91 octane. I have recently started using it and like it much better! Prior to that I was using stabelizer with good results but I like the 91 E free gas better. I will have to give the wd40 a try aye.

I have always used Marvel Mystery Oil in the gas. Never had a problem starting in the Spring. I always run the carburetor dry in my generator.

You rock....because you saved yourself some money and can feel great about fixing it yourself!!!! Good job.

Thank you, sir...with the two first names~!

Thanks, Wayne. Glad it helped.

Great memories, Juan. Thanks for the note.

Great job, my friend.

Good job getting it done yourself!

You seem to be struggling with the word bowl one moment it's bowl next it's bowel ? I think it's the first one bowl that you mean!

But bowel is funnier.

When it comes to your bowels, ya definitely want that gasket in place. Yeah buddy. 🖖😁👍👉💥🛎

Thank you for kind endorsement of my methodology, Old Timer....Mow on!

Thanks, Paul, and good luck with your mower.

I look first for ignition,

Great job! Buy yourself an ice cream!

Glad the video was a help to you!

Great job! Glad the video was of help to you!

Honestly, the pivoting front wheels are useless on this thing....

Great job!

Thanks for watching the video!

Yeah, it's all fake. No one watching this video has ever been able to follow my advice or get their mower running again. Right! Maybe you should try reading some of the comments of people who followed my advice, got their mower running, and saved lots of money. There's a reason this video has over 2 million views....

thats good if you can find no ethanol fuel. not readily available everywhere

@@bigjoe2458 yep, only gas available around my area is the ethanol laced stuff.

A bit more expensive. $3.89 a gallon in Michigan. But well worth the effort. I add a dash of Seafoam per the can recommended rate and NEVER had any issues with my stuff. USE IT for 2 cycle mix too...

Thank you so much!

Thanks for the tip!

Thanks, Earle!

Good job fixing it yourself!

What was clogged on this machine was the carburetor bowl nut....

There a way to suck the fuel out of the fuel storage instead of running it dry? Also wont these be some fuel stuck in the carborator?

@@raczyk my generator has a drain provided at the bottom of the float bowl that is opened up with a screw stop. I have a fuel line connected to it and just drain it out to a fuel container. Better doing it that way if you don't want to just run it all out with the engine.

I sure hope you used a paperclip and a safety pin!

I'm telling ya that happens. I had one here doin that and that's exactly what it was and there was a lotta crap in th fuel tank. LOL

Use heat to get the water out of the gas system and gumout to clean out your carburetor. New plug helps also.

Good work, Al!!

Wrong. He had A highly specialized tool. A paper clip and A safety pin. LOL.

Thank you so much! Your note has totally made my day!

Good maintenance is a beautiful thing. It's just that some many of us just don't get around to doing it.... Thanks for the note.

Oh, the neighbor IS impressed! Believe me, he's impressed! Great job!

I don't usually use fuel additives, nor do I "winterize" the machines in the Fall. If they don't start easily in the Spring, I know what to to fix them, so it's not a big deal.

I put Sta-Bil in my 5 gallon gas can when I fill it up at the gas station. So my engines - push mower, tractor, snowblower, etc... - ALWAYS run with it in the gas. I never have to think about it (until the gas can is getting low).

Possibly, but that makes it a bit harder to access....especially if you're making a video!

Thank you, sir. Great note!
