Most of my loose screws aren't magnetic 🤣 When it started up and revved way up I thought "hmmm... no throttle control, that's a new one".

I guess I just missed you on the last one. 🤣 I did the video back in February. I have heard from the guy who got it, he loves it.

When I am working on them, I try to imagine how they ended up in front of me. On that one, imagine a scene where he took the air filter off and then went to the store for starter fluid, then when it started he couldn't find the bolt... but it was running. Lol

Never lend out tools you like. I am sure the battery mowers will get there but I am waiting for one more step up in battery life.

@@GuysPlayingWithTools We were just too geezerish not to and I can turn the humm on and do it with80% battery left with a light cut side discharge and mulching blade. Got down to 60% on a heavy cut. Just riding and guiding but the 2 gas jobs are just waiting.

@lewiemcneely9143 sooner or later, someone is going to produce a really cool battery rider. Without the gas motor and belts, the configuration can change. I want better bagging, higher speeds, and lower profile. Not much, just... everything.

@@GuysPlayingWithTools Nothing wrong with wanting everything, just getting it is the crimp. I'm satisfied with ours and maybe there'll be upgrades but it does a good job. SMOOTH but it's a floating deck, 42 inch. I go with the economy setting for the blades and lo speed which is 4 m.p.h max and 8 in hi. I never get all the way lo but move along smartly as the guy said. It takes about an hour and it's all on a slope. Can't get any schematics about it but that's MTD that made it is supposedly going to 'talk you through' problems. I don't even know where the battery is but that there's one and 56 volt, 3000 amp hours. So far, so good. Has 2 curvy composter blades. Will just grind everything up and vanish. Suits me with the zero turn but it's quick but hydraulic can be smoother but ours is paid for. That's the main thing.

@lewiemcneely9143 I keep thinking...I have a press, a pipe bender and a welder. I just need a couple golf cart motors, a deck and a few hours and I can make one that will do what I want. I might make that my next winter project

I am guilty of leaving an accidental mark in the grass when I tested it. Lol

Well at least you didn't do 5 - 8 cold starts but never use it like someone I know. 🤣🤣

@Big_Johns I was moving it to that one corner we all have and halfway across, I thought "self propel?". It didn't go the way I thought it would, it dug in 🤣

🤣🤣🤣

I have one of those coming up in a couple weeks. The prettiest McLane I have ever seen, it's basically new. It's a"carb over" that isn't pumping, fuel, a new diaphragm does wonders

Getting it out is a lot easier than getting it back in. What I wondered was... why?

When you buy things, it's not always obvious what you might find when you fix it. I see this kind of problem way too often. 🙄😁

@@GuysPlayingWithTools I believe that is the truth about what you get from other people the craftsman gt tractor was in need of some work.on.it when I got it home I'm going to be doing a video on how I'm going to install a mower deck wash system I found a video on this matter on KZfaq now it's my turn to do it

@@robertmailhos8159 I don't miss a video👍

I did accidentally tear up the grass a little. 🤣

Give me until morning for this one, I am not a night owl, and this will be a long answer. 🙂

I have been trying to come up with a good description that didn't have a picture(can't put a pic in a comment). I will try to describe it as well as I can. The governor controls the speed of the engine by way of linkage that is specific to the model of the motor. The black plastic part at the 6:50 part on the new carb attaches to the governor arm on this one The linkage pulls an arm that is attached to the governor arm by a spring and adds tension to it. The governor arms typically have 2 springs when there is an external throttle, one that returns it to idle and another that is attached to the throttle linkage. Without pics it's a lot harder to describe than I thought it would be, let me know if this helps
