I'd say continue fixing this mower. It has a good Honda engine. Should be for a good re-sell.

I usually will replace those long screws that hold the carb, etc to the machine with 6m bolts and nuts; makes assembly a lot easier for me. Enjoy your videos, please do keep them coming.

Lawn mower looks like it be worth putting little bit time in to it and money into it THANK YOU FOR THE VIDEO

Of course you should continue fixing this mower. It will make a nice, solid mower for someone.

Keep on fixing it as a great tutorial. It has a good running Honda engine and the deck looks to be good and solid.

I would continue on with the diagnosing and repair. It is a good mower brand and will bring in a good price overall!! Nice job on the carb disassembly/reassembly and the cleaning. The wheel issue should not be a big issue. Worked on many transmissions and they are usually not that big a deal. Overall, a quality tutorial once again!!! Stay away from working under trees! At least wear a hard hat 🙂

What are you spraying on for washing? it looks damn good at removing dirt.

Good job 😊 IMO it worth to fix transmission as my experience tells customers prefer self propelled systems (hope you can fix without change transmission itself 😮) Good luck n pls update when you're done !!

Thanks!

I'd go into it just to see what was what and was wondering if the gearbox was missing the wire belt guard and the string was keeping the belt from jumping off. Good mower and fix! Happy week

When you engaged the self propel, the transmission was turning the shaft. Probably worth it to continue. Might just be the gear that turns the wheel

yep i,d simply go ahead with the repairs as the engnie is nice and healthy and checking the valve clearance lash and replace the spark plug if needed and maybe sharpen up the blade for better cutting and inspecting the tension on the SP (Self Propelled) springs and pulleys and vice versa.

like that old pull cord reuse for that choke, havn;'t see that before

Hi, I have a Murray lawn mower with a Briggs and Stratton motor on it. I have this issue where it has gas coming out of the primer bulb. I’ve tried replacing the carburetor along with primer bulb and it’s still doing the same thing. I’m pulling my hair out trying to figure out why it’s doing this. Love your videos!

Hey bro what's up? In my opinion, I say continue to repair this mower. I believe that the person who purchases it after repairing it would hopefully appreciate your effort to get it working properly again bro. 👍👍

What degreaser do you use?

I had one but it had a commercial 200cc Briggs and Stratton motor and it had self propelled as well sold it for $300 bucks

Great work. You might need to clean the spark plug as well.

What about the recoil rope moving like that? Thought that is caused by a bent blade or crankshaft?

so i got a free pushmower and its blowing oil out of thev evap hose and oil is getting in the carb but the oil level is fine. what could it be?

Hi! What cleaning spray do you use?

I understand that. Shouldn't the oil that came out with the gas be the same color that is in the engine? oil in engine is golden(fairly clean), what came out of the carb was black. The owner uses 5w-30 or 10w-30 oil in it, has had mower 2 yrs and hasn't changed the oil. This is the first time she has had issues with mower. Now on to next ?- would the self propel unit cause these kind of symptoms if it was not disengaging when u release the engagement handle? Is this an eternal problem and is it worth rebuilding or getting a new motor?

I'm just curious now to find out what is so wrong with those front wheels? I imagine you can up your asking price with straight wheels and the self propel working as it should.

I have a small 2020 3.5 hp Mercury outboard that continues to flood under load. I've cleaned/serviced several small engine carbs without issue. However, this problem has me stumped... I replaced the original carb with a new clone but the problem has persist. The engine usually cranks with 2-3 pulls and runs fine when idled. However, when applying throttle it begins to sputter and takes a while to get up to speed. After being full throttle for 15-60 seconds fuel begins pouring out of both overflow vents from the carb. I have tested both carbs to ensure the needle is making good contact with the seat by blowing air through the fuel inlet and turning the carb to simulate the float floating upwards. Air does not pass through in the position. There is a fuel pump but I could not imagine it is applying enough pressure to both not have any leaks from the gas line and be able to push past the needle in the closed position. What are your thoughts?

Fix it up try swapping the front wheels from side to side e-z way to see if it needs wheels or has worn transmission parts

i bought a several years old rider from a friend and discovered the never sharpened blades had been installed backwards , apparently since new . his yard always looked nice , but l've always wondered how .

I had a decent mower with Honda would not run correctly. Ended up someone had the spacer upside down sucking air. Yes chole starts coming off when bail is pulled

I need your help, I have a 2016 Troy built tb200 self propelled mower that will run about 30 minutes and die, if you go to restart the mower it feels like the engine is locked up and will not turn. I can wait 3-4 hrs and the mower will run for about 30 minutes and it is the same thing over again. I have replaced both cables, air filter, new spark plug,cleaned carb, and replace the fuel line. It would not start when i got the mower. I have released the self propel bar to disengage the self propel and hold the control bar when trying to start.

Those front wheels are definitely toed out well at least the engine is a Honda the blade was upside down at least you Saw that

Yea definitely fix it. If you have a bag for it you definitely could get $175-$200

I just had the exact same mower dropped of for a repair. the dropped a loaded trailer onto it and completely bent the rear end. told them it would cost more for the proper repair than a new one would cost so they donated it to me.

push or self propel, you still have to replace at least one of the wheels. Like the MarkMeadows90 comment below, fix it.

I thought a blade installed backwards makes the grass taller when you mow it

I'd fix the self propel system, because the buyer might be someone who can't use a push mower easily.

What app do u use

Continue to fix it

I just put one together and forgot the breather hose, lol. I forget that damn breather hose every time.

The SP just needs some new wheels the plastic gears are stripped. The belt guide is missing off of the bottom of the engine for the belt. For resale on those fixing the SP isn't really worth it ss they don't even really propel the mower on a front drive high wheel. They just spin in the grass. I remember people coming in the shop and wanting a a high wheel mower because they thought it better on rough ground. And thought it was easier in tall grass and niether is true . If it is easier to lift the front what happens to your drive? If you have a rough are buy the heavy duty rear drive mower and you will be better off. Something like an old Snapper with a side chute and low lift blade is a field cutting mofo .

Very informative step by step lawn mower repair video. I'm wondering are you looking for a sponsorship? As a parts supplier I believe our collaboration can help more DIY repairers.

hey whats up IHG!?

Fix it

Naw repair it right, it’ll sell its early in the mowing season 👍

fix it

Fix the self-propel? That's a coin toss. The good running Honda engine gives it some value by itself. Depends on how expensive it becomes to repair. If I could do it cheaply, I'd fix it. The Personal Pace system on my Toro gives me more problems than the engine. Last year, I had to replace the drive wheels. I've had to adjust or repair the PP system multiple times, while I've yet to have to remove the carb or head.

I don’t understand why so many work on the mowers without cleaning them. I just think it’s smart to clean before causing more problems

Problem #1, its a front wheel drive mower

Continue fixing! Make some good money.

those Husqvarna have alot of problems with the self propelled wheels because the wheel bearing goes out. I had to press in 2 new ones on one I fixed few years back , part number is hard to find but here it is just for the wheelbearing, 587070201 or 587070202 otherwise they make you buy the whole wheel adjuster with the bearing already installed and that is alot more $$
