Lucky for all of us, the design usually protects us from things like this but if you hear it, stop immediately and fix it before using your mower again!

Nice tip on primer gasket✔️

@GuysPlayingWithTools 2 ай бұрын

IT's one of those things that you don't realize until you are left scratching your head one day. Airbox primers are for the birds.

@lewiemcneely9143 2 ай бұрын

My last one (literally) I put a coat of Permatex #2 on it to seal it off. It was warped and/or the gasket was shot but that sealed it off. Hope you're not scorched out yet. Still 70's here but soggy. Come get all you want! Thanks, Willum!

That can be pretty tricky to get a good seal and not fill the little air hole. It's middle 90s and raining every day. That's a little cool but mostly normal for this time of year in Dallas. I keep telling myself that I will miss the rain when it stops, and it stops for the entire summer

@@GuysPlayingWithTools It's every 2 to 3 days here or during the night. 70's and 80's. Not time for 90 yet. I bored out the hole in the carb with a drill to give it a little more room, like a countersink really and laid the #2 to it's hide around it. That fixed that. I broke off the throttle and had ordered a new cheap one. It ran good but the propell died and I about did. All gone now.

Good one, Bill. I thought you were headed to telling us about a sheared key on the flywheel after hitting a rock with the blade. I've hit rocks and it shears the key (or distorts it enough that the timing is off). When attempting to start a mower with a broken or sheared flywheel key, it will kick and then tear the cord out of your hand at incredible speed, often causing hand injury. The loose blade bolt is also very much a worry. Channel is doing good and you're looking great for 82!

@GuysPlayingWithTools 2 ай бұрын

I still don't know how that blade was loose. They usually tighten themselves up nicely when running, but when you see it in person. It's hard to say it can't happen 82? Ouch. I think I look good for 72, maybe even 52. 🤣

Nice job Bill, a lot of times if the blade adapter breaks and the blade is loose it doesn't hurt to check the flywheel key. Especially when the pull rope snatches out of your hand. I'm no expert, like Renaldo but we try. 🤣🤣

@GuysPlayingWithTools 2 ай бұрын

I have no idea how they get loose, all I can think is someone screwed up. If it were a Honda I might have been tempted to pull the top and check the key. 👍 You don't have to worry, Renaldo approved the fix 😁🤣

That is the truth about the blade adapter on riding mowers except the push mower is direct connection to the engine out put shaft where as the blades on the riding mower are belt driven and the adapter is either a 5 or a 6 point Star adapter or the MTD made strange blade adapter

@GuysPlayingWithTools 2 ай бұрын

I have seen a few different adapters along the way but on all of them we need to make sure any unusual noises from the mower are investigated before using it 👍
