@danbasta3677 Жыл бұрын

If there is to much oul in the Frank case, drain it all out and put in the right amount of engine oil in the crankcase and only filling it up to the marked full level on the dipstick. You never over fill it, and of course before you start your mower you check your oil. If the dipstick says yiur under the fill line mark, ad just only enough to get to the line, however not over the line itself. Plain and simple. That's why there's a dipstick and there is also a reason for reading that dipstick correctly and accurately.

At the very least Steve deserves a car of beer for the work.

@KY.0009 3 жыл бұрын

Honestly what I would do personally really depends on the circumstances. If I was flat broke and seriously needed a lawnmower I might keep it. If I had another lawnmower and I picked that one up with the intent of fixing it and selling it, I would probably offer to give it back no charge. Or maybe if I planned to put $20 worth of parts in it then I'd ask for $20 for gas money, time, and labor. Again depending on how bad I needed the money at that time.

@BushcraftingBogan 3 жыл бұрын

Definitely contact the previous owner. You’ll build your reputation as an honest repair man. That $200 possible quick sale might double in servicing through her word of mouth. Plus, it’s at least the right thing to do. If she says “keep it” anyway, you’ll have both of those benefits mentioned on top of a clear conscience.

As a senior citizen (and a woman) who is going through this with my present mower (which is also my son's), I would have given anything to have a man like you to return the mower, and let me know what was wrong. To be honest, I was working full time (just retired at 75), and didn't have time in my life to sit down and troubleshoot, other than read the manual. All the shops were booked out for most of the summer, but they still said, "Just bring it in, we'll take care of it." Now that I'm retired, I have a little extra time. I just changed the spark plug and air filter, but when I tried to start the engine, it blew out smoke, and died. I put that blue gas treatment in the gas that sat through the winter, so I figured it had to be the plug or the filter. After your video, I'm thinking the helpful mechanic who put in oil may have put in too much, so I will check it. The thing is, I used this mower before I had someone who offered to look at it. I know it's a simple 2 cylinder, and I know it's a simple fix. I just never learned how to do it my self. Thank you for even thinking about it, but the choice is up to you.

I have been watching you for some time. I rescue, revive, and or restore small engine equipment. Between you and Mustie-1, you guys have taken me out of the bankruptcy of working on automobiles to small engines which is a total joy and inexpensive. I have donated and maintained small engines for those on fixed incomes, and still offer them service, sometimes as cost to me; but I love seeing mowers like this last for decades and giving advice to their owners how to keep them from rotting away or being thrown out again. I would see if she wants it back and, if she is able, charge her a small fee for this fix; which is better than having her pay for another mower. If she doesn't want it back anymore, donate or sell it to someone who needs it. Great video sir. I am in good company here, in both the work, love, and humility/ humanity, and honesty.

Agreed, Steve and Mustie are two of the best. Common sense, direct approaches with real, useful, instructive commentary and good camera work so you can see what they're doing.

I went to start my 12.5 HP B&S-powered mower, and it began smoking. A LOT worse than what you just showed. I turned the key off came to my computer and, within a minute, I saw your video. I watched it, drained about six ounces of oil from the engine, and mowed my lawn. Thank you, Steve.

I had the same issue with a coworker who gave me two lawnmowers that wouldn’t run. I fixed both of them for under $15. I felt a bit guilty so I offered to give them back. She declined saying that it was her fault. She appreciated my honesty and now I have a customer for life.

Give the lady half of the money you make on selling the mower. So if you sold for $200 give her $100. It is very kind of you to think about helping the lady out, Nice channel, first time watching. I have a few small engines that don’t work properly, thankfully your channel may help me learn and save a few dollars.

I'm later seeing this and don't know what you did with the mower, return or keep it, but I would have taken it back to her, told her no charge if she wants it back. I'd also have several business cards I my pocket and either way, she would get a few of my cards. You might lose a few bucks for not keeping it, but an honest repair person will get much more business from her and anyone who hears what you did. You can't buy that type of advertisement. Having watched you freely give us your knowledge on so many things, I am sure you did the right thing. Thanks for your channel!

I saw this video today. Yesterday, I was ready to try cleaning my mower's carburetor for the first time due to nonstop gray smoke. However, after reviewing about six videos, the last one mentioned the need for a functioning air filter. Sure enough, replacing the oil-caked one put the mower back on the grass.

I'm amazed at what people throw out or give away . I picked up 2 mowers , a chainsaw , compressor and many more items all for one dollar each at the local tip or free stuff off the local buy , swap and sell and all they needed was fuel , oil and some TLC to get them all working again saving me a small fortune in buying them new..

@bradjohnson9671 2 жыл бұрын

Steve, I always try to do the right thing. I'd at least make an attempt to get it back to the owner. If they already have one, you can do what you want with the mower. You never know someone else's situation. Maybe they can't afford a new one? I've been in the same situation. I acquired a mower that only needed a gentle laying of hands. No costs involved other than 30 min of time. I asked around as I didn't need another mower.. Found a friend of a friend that was just starting out in their new (to them) home and really needed a mower. They were a young couple starting out and barely had 2 nickles to rub together. The genuine show of appreciation and gratitude were more then work the 30 min.. Call it paying it forward or God points or what ever you want.. Me? I put it under the classification of being a good guy.
