Yes, electrical issues can have you chasing your tail

@@ridingmowerking lol

Hi, there could be so many things with that small amount of info. You said that you adjusted the choke cable, so that means it should be a twin cylinder. Are you sure it is running on both cylinders, sounds like you may have a weak cylinder. Could be a weak coil, could be valve adjustment, head gasket, fouled plug. So many possibilities. You need to start ruling out things that you can do on your own. After that you need to get hands on it by someone who knows how they work. If you het too much advice online you will run out of e things. Patience and money.

Thank you, just getting started with the video part. Hope to grow

Thank you

Love them mowers I have 2 of the rear wheel drive ones and they really get a work out! Nice repair💯👍🏾

It was a little pricey, I think just over $100 in parts with the oil and air filter. But the owner really likes this mower. And a new one with these features is probably over $600 now.

Thank you for the positive feedback. My videos will get better with time. Repairs are easy, videos take time to get good at making.

@@ridingmowerking Exactly 💯

@@ridingmowerking 👍💪👌🙏

Yes, that's what has always been in my head, used to be on the tune-up label on the older engines. Best source is probable the owners manual for the individual machine.

I usually do make improvements such as that. However the "tubing" is really not thick enough to install greae zirks. It would be better if there were molded bungs for the fittings to thead into.

It is a project one you run into a little trouble. But it had to be done, and now it doesn't creep when you put the handles in the park position.

@@ridingmowerking 😎👍😎💪

It would be, however the rv is not as level as it should be. I did have to add a little more later. but generator is working perfect, no issues.

No, I have not, but had the same issue on a zeroturn. I think it is really better at tracking people

Yes it actually is. One company bought out the other, so there are both names on it.

@@ridingmowerking yes.. Cummins is the company that bought out onan generator company

after I used it a couple times something else broke, the bell crank. I have a video uploaded, but not live yet. after replacing this part, it did not drift with the handles in the park position, this could be causing you problems you have not realized yet. here is a link. bit it is not live yet. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iMd4Y9mYptOXZIU.html

I agree, that is why I had to remove it just to trace wires. I decided to let it go just as it was at end of video. I don't like selling them ready to mow when they have the Kohler Courage single for an engine.

it was a corroded wire coming from the power side of the relay.

Glad you enjoyed it

yes, and was hard to see without removing the battery.

@@ridingmowerking that is MTD for you they' are looking to make sure you are having a hard time with this repair job 😔😡🤬

Engineers...

@@ridingmowerking they' are so hard headed when they design lawn care equipment

Thank you, try to troubleshoot before throwing parts at it.

This was my first time with this type of meter. Wrapping around the wire was the key to a more consistent reading. I'm sure I will grow to trust it more with use. Most small engines will have an attachment point for the spring that can be adjusted to change top rpm.

Hi, yes that will work if you have accidentally loaned your tools to a neighbor or brother in law

LOL no reply.

Yes, they definitely could. It is a basic repair that is a common issue.

Thanks for the compliment, but I'm not that young anymore.

Glad you liked it!

Et c'est quoi la bonne ?

Then what would the approved method be, good sir? After thinking about it (not even seen his method yet) I can think of three ways to adjust a governor. 1. Stretch spring past plastic deformity, or cut... 2. Bend the spring tab 3. Adjust the governor linkages. He just got to his method and he decided to bend the tab, I think that's the easiest. Maybe this isn't the way a Briggs and Stratton engineer might do it, however as a normal consumer I think this video is great. He even mentioned that setting the RPMs too high would shorten the life of the mower. Great video, sir! This is good information for anyone willing to do just a little maintenance and repair on their own things, like everyone should. Thanks 😊

this method is actually to adjust the top speed, not to set the governor linkage. if the governor was apart, then that is a whole different procedure. I do actually know the difference. thanks for the comment.

My RPM stay high and for some reason it will shout off if I move throttle down a little bit, even and adjusting throttle cable. I could be bending down governor?

@@doradodelsol Hi, If you cannot control the speed as you say, then that might require a static adjustment or reset of the governor arm. this video is not for that. There are great videos of that procedure, www.youtube.com/@TarylFixesAll is my recommendation

You are welcome!

technically it should go a specific direction. but it will filter and flow in either direction. that is how it was when I got it. considering all the other things I found wrong, it is probably backwards.

I did a video on repairing the sticking choke also,

It is correctly installed. The fuel flows from the outside through the filtering media and out from there. If installed in the other direction, you wouldn't be able to see the crap that is getting filtered because it would be inside the filtering media.

Glad you enjoyed it

thank you. I have run into this problem a few times with cheap aftermarket carburetors on these engines.

Glad you enjoyed it!

You may be right, I will investigate and make a note in the video if I had them reversed, thank you for your help.

Hi, I looked up some general briggs specs and there was a range. From about 3200 to almost 3700 depending on size and application.

That is true, safety is always a top priority when hauling.

Absolutely

@@ridingmowerking ✌️👍💪

good luck, yes that shaft should move freely when there is no linkage hooked to it.

Go to KZfaqsKZfaq's "Tyral Fixes All" / setBriggs and Stratton v-twin governor. He'll show you how to do it quickly and easily. Hope this helps.

that is a good point, after I was finished recording I thought, I forgot to say anything about making sure it it sealed because now the valve and the seat are not mates. I have a valve lapping tool somewhere, but no compound. I thought I should at least have shown how to test it with water to see if it holds water. Still new at recording videos. will get better. thanks for the comment.

yes, I saw a video of someone with an R/C car and had the same issue.

@@ridingmowerking hopefully you will get it fixed so you can track your movement of what you are doing @ riding mower king 👑

The answer is out there somewhere. I hope.

@@ridingmowerking you are going to find it One day for your help with this matter I just got through doing a video on the craftsman ys mower I replaced the spindles with the greaseable spindles

That's always a great idea. These engines are pretty easy to alternate when torquing the head.

That is what I did eventually do with the shaft. But the holes in the levers were close to a half inch already. So they needed to be repaired.

I did that and now the handles won’t line up and left side barely reverses. It make no sense.

@@JonDomke after this video I mowed a couple times, then the bell crank broke on tbe right side. That is part of the linkage. Video coming soon. It sounds like your holes are not at the right place in your handles.

Sounds like she served you well.

thanks for the info, but this was really just a demonstration for a potential buyer, just to show it running.
