As an ex-greenkeeper who is now partially disabled and looking to upgrade his pathetic electric battery packed mower with a petrol self propelled mower, its shocking to see the deck in such a state of disregard, most of these expensive mowers come with a hose hole, failing that it isnt that difficult to prop it up carb side up and blast the deck for a minute. Really great video, appreciate the indepth discussion about the motor. I was trained to only ever tip petrol mowers to the side with the carb or you'll flood the engine, but in my years of use and time spent cleaning and servicing the hayters and stihl machines i used at work, I've tipped them to a small incline on either side to clean the deck and never had an issue so long as you aren't tilting them over 45 degrees. When servicing the mower, take care to wire brush your screws/bolts to remove any debris that may have set like cement in the slot, at the venue I worked for in our service guide we were to grease every screw and bolt with copper anti seize so they could be removed easily, we had a hayter with a rear roller that vibrated so much every bolt and screw on it was seized with so much loctite the thing gave off a pretty distinct odour when it was roasting in summer and you were rolling the flower gardens by the hotel lol.

Hi there, When i have cleaned an underside as dirty as that, i spray it with an epoxy and rust converter. Brunox in my case. It wilt stop current corrosion and prevent subsequent rust, at least for slome time. Costs little as you dan do many mowers with one spray can. But the impact on potential buyers is high.

Hello, I came across your tutorial on how to service a lawnmower, and I found it to be very helpful. I was wondering if you could help me find a spring that I need for my machine. I haven't been able to find one online, or I don't know what to look for. Additionally, the carburettor that you recommended for £9 is no longer available on Amazon. The alternative I found costs twice as much. Do you happen to know of a cheaper alternative, and if so, could you please recommend it to me? Thank you very much.

Eventually it started but took a while to really kick in. Now it starts fine. However, I noticed the airfilter was soaked - is that a problem? Did i press red button too much?

@@MowerMan the designers have been very sneaky in replacing the old silver nuts with black dome shaped ones that don't look like nuts and worst of all there's a third nut hidden under the silver badge which looks metal but is just a thick bit of plastic which has to be cut to expose the third nut which is a different size to the other two.

Hi. I just replaced my rotted Flymo quicksilver Briggs and stratton with the latest version of this mountfield 185. I was a bit disappointed that there is so much plastic but anyway couple of quick questions. When priming, the bulb doesn't get firm like the old mower did. And it always seems to take 2-3 pulls to get it to go. Is this normal? The Flymo was branded an "easy start" and even after 15 years it fired up after one pull every spring. Cheers.

I know if its a car they say don't start it or that's the end of the engine. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance, Helen 😔

@MowerMan 3 жыл бұрын

You will have to do the service on the carburetor I show in this video to get all the fuel out. If you don't want to take it all apart I would buy a cheap oil extractor and get all the oil and diesel out with it then tip it over to drain the carb fit a new spark plug fill to the top with fresh petrol and try it. Ir might smoke for a bit after around 20 mins but should be ok after. You could also try just getting the diesel out and filling to the top with fresh petrol hope it helps

Hi Paul, I replaced the carburettor with a brand new one but it’s still hunting, any suggestions?

I changed the spring on my 300. Stopped the hunting in it's tracks ! Had to bend the upright left end spring attachment point slightly to the last to accelerate the motor and get it running smooth and sweet.

Meet the Hanlon's behind the petrol tank there is a governor spring. Bend the tab slightly to make the spring tighter

Hi Paul...I hope you don't mind some more constructive criticism but instead of replacing the carb assy, you need to remove & clean the jets out properly to cure the hunting or rough running. At worst, just replace the jet assy. Here is a video example of a more GENTLE way of removing and cleaning it: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/sLqPqrR03rHOiIU.htmlm45s

Thats a good video thanks. I don't like prising the plastic though as you can distort it. I prefer to pull the parts out.

@@MowerMan Ok, I was really trying to show that you can split the jet assembly so you can get at the emulsion tube to clean it out which should sort out the rough running/hunting
