With the safety switch's can't you just cut the wires and join them together and tape them up? That would work right?

I have taught many subjects in my time, so I know what I'm talking about. The true test of a great instructor is that he knows his subject matter cold from top to bottom. Many just memorize a subject and then try to teach it. They are not able to explain the how and why behind the subject matter. It is obvious you live your subject matter so you know the how and why behind why things behave the way they do, which is critical for the student to truly understand and retain the subject matter. Thanks for your knowledge and the special patience you display to take the time to thoroughly explain things that I'm certain are second nature to you.

Taryl, Thank you! My husband was at work and I wanted to mow. Knew it was an electrical issue but figured I'd have to take it to the mechanic. Ended up being the 20 amp fuse which I did not know was there. I learned a lot and your video was fun too. Keep up the good work and thank you again!

You have the best videos I have ever seen. You crack me up. The way you explain everything has got me looking at them all. I'm a retired plumbing heating contractor, Boilers and furnaces I know, but I know absolutely nothing about fixing engines. Now I have time and want to learn how to fix my lawn mowers and tractors. Keep up the good work and thank you so much for what you are teaching us all.

All I can say is thank you. I didn't grow up learning small engines. As a matter of fact we had an electric corded lawn mower. So now as an adult even though I could afford to take it to the shop, the shop takes forever and their customer service sucks. So I need to learn this stuff and you've helped with a lot of things I hadn't considered. You guys deserve more than just add revenue. I'm going to buy some merch right now

Hey, Taryl--thanks for the advice on troubleshooting my 2002 John Deere tractor with 16 HP Deere/Kohler engine. It was running beautifully and just suddenly quit. I suspected a fuel flow issue, so I replaced the fuel filter and fuel pump, but that didn't solve the problem. I started researching on youtube and came across your "How to troubleshoot electrical problems", and when you described exactly what happened to me, I followed your advice and removed the fuel shutoff valve, cut off the small "plunger", and reinstalled. Now, she's running great again--Thank you!

Great info. Exact situation happened where mower ran fine, I turned it off to go inside, came back and it wouldn't start. The blades looked to be disengaged but apparently were not. I moved the blade engagement lever in and out of position a couple times and now mower starts up! Wish I'd have seen this before removing ignition switch and starter solenoid and battery swap!

Taryl. Thank you. You saved me much time and grief. The issue was not any specific thing you talked about but it pointed me in the right direction. It was related to the blade engagment. On my tractor there are a bunch of springs above the deck which engage the saftey switch. I discovered one of them was broken. I used a wire tie to re-attach it and boom she started. And there's your dinner.

Dear Taryl. I really owe you since I "fixed" my tractor 'cause of something you said in this (here) video. I thought I was a pretty savvy guy, but there was a lot I didn't know about the electrical system. You started by saying: "If you jump off your mower after turning it off to get a drink, and it won't even turn over when you get back, check if you've turned off the mowing deck!" I thought smugly that I always turned the deck off. However, this time I had run out of gas. For a couple of days I didn't know where to look for the problem. I saw this (here) video and I was amazed at how many safety kill switches there are. I never had thought of the one for the mower (pto). Today, I went out and looked at the PTO pull knob. Sure 'nuff it was ON! I hadn't thought of it when the engine stopped. I turned it off and the Garden tractor started up! It didn't start up easy, 'cause I have more to fix!
