Thank you. I have watched quite a lot of videos to learn about maintaining this type of engines from different creators, and your video is clearly one of the best. Clear, focussed, good audio and video... I will be happy to watch more.

Hi, glad to find an up to date video, Ive watched your videos from way back when, in the last 3 months, since my neighbour said his mower was broke and he was getting a new one. I asked what he was doing with the old one, he said it was for the scrap man, so I said I would have it. Thats when I came on KZfaq and found your videos (thankfully). Its a Qualcast with the Briggs & Stratton engine, so, after watching your video on changing the diaphragm & gasket, then about the Govenor springs, I put the new diaphragm & gasket, changed the govenor springs, new fuel, new oil, it started on the 3rd pull. I was hooked, I fetched our grandsons from their mothers, at the gate was an Einhell petrol mower, after asking why it was there, again, for the scrap man, she said it wouldnt start, I asked if I could have it she said yes, when I got it home, I started at the beginning, pull the deadman, listen for the micro switch, no sound of the switch making/breaking the circuit, I looked & noticed the lever wasnt lifting the arm high enough to make/break the contact, I bent the lever up slightly, contact made/broken, although I didnt know how old the fuel was, the oil was clear & up to the level, so it hadnt done much work, a couple of pulls & it started, brilliant. So, with someone without any mechanical knowhow, after watching a few of your videos, 2 non working mowers now both work perfectly well. So, I would like to say a big thank you for sharing your knowledge & all those viewers of yours, give it a go, if its broke, have a go at fixing it, iif it doesnt go when youve tried, at least you had a go & it was broke anyway. Sorry Ive drooled on but as I said, I wanted to thank you for sharing & please keep the videos coming. Ive subscribed & always give a thumbs up.

Thanks for the list of possible problems. My mower quit running while mowing and I couldn't figure out why. I've rigged a separate kill switch. To do this required me to disable the grip handle kill setup. I wired the piece that kills the ignition back. The last time I was mowing, the piece I had holding the pivot piece back broke and fell off. I hadn't thought to check that. Your list reminded me and sure enough, there was the problem. Got it held back again and it started on the first pull.

Hi so pleased to see you have returned, would you be able to offer me your advice and guidance ? I own a Mountfield SP485 HW V I am not happy with the performance of the existing mulching blade it does not cut well and I don't want to have to mow my grass several times to shorten it down each time I cut the lawn just to get the blade to work, also the grass pick up into the basket is not very effective. I would like to replace it with a normal cutting blade ! from what I can gather there is not an option for me to be able to do this ! which I find hard to believe can you help or will I have to replace my mower ? Thx

The screw for my filter cannister does NOT tighten into anything--- just spins and with motor vibration, the filter flopps around and is NOT doing what it should. I have gotten New screw and still doesn't tighten into anything. I have tried to make sure that the screw hole is NOT plugged with debris, and it doesn't seem to be the issue... Any advice?

Mowerman. I need some help with a mower. It's a husqvarna lgt48dxl with a kholer 7000 series 25hp. As soon as I start the mower it sounds like it is going to explode with how high the rpms are. I replaced all the springs in the linkage and installed a new governor, cleaned the carb. Set the govern and still no change. I'm at a loss. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi MowerMan, Great video, I have also used your video on the diaphragm service and it was wonderful. I bought a second hand mower around 12 months ago and I haven't serviced it ever, on the first 10-20 seconds of start up after replacing the diaphragm, spark plug and air filter, it does the hesitant high rpm > low rpm cycle and then levels out to a consistent speed and mows fine. Could this happen as a result of lack of oil change? (P.S I am popping down tomorrow to get some fresh oil and petrol for it) Cheers!

Good to see you back on. A stupid thing that I did 2 years ago was to get some fuel in a proper can from a garage filled the mower and it would not start, eventually after stripping it all down I realised it smelled wrong, I had bought diesel. Now beware not all diesel pump pipes are black, the super diesel was green like the petrol one. Had it been the car it wouldn't have fitted but it did in the can
