I've got to do the same repair this year. It's 19 years old, and the bearings are finally toast. The video is one of the best "How-To" videos I have ever seen involving small engine repairs. Thank You, and wish me luck!

Nice! You know your explanation on what your doing and why is very informative compared to other videos I've seen. I know this video is 4 years ago but still same message. Thank you!

This is such a helpful video for so many reasons! Great job, and thank you for clear succinct information!

super video thanks

What if you wanna leave the fuel solenoid out?

This is fantastic. Thanks very much!

I have the rear bags on mine so not sure if this is my issue. Got the mower for free, guy said it ran last year. Charged the battery but all I get is a loud bud/hum and it doesn’t even try to turn over. Any ideas?

thanks!

This helped me so much, I really appreciate you putting this out there!

Thanks for the help! Great instructional video!

Just what I needed. Thank you for being direct and clear, great video.

Don't waste your money on fuel stabilizer. Today's regular gas has 10% ethanol and low sulphur and it evaporates completely, unlike gas from years gone by that would leave a dirty oily residue behind. All you need to do when the season changes is drain any remaining fuel and run the engine until the carb bowl runs dry. You won't have fuel problems if you store it empty. You can add Marvel Mystery Oil to the oil and fuel and it makes old Briggs and Tachumseh engines very happy by improving lubrication dissolving carbon fighting heat and dissolving any dirt in the fuel system.

Did the new solenoid fix the starting problem?

I have the same mower shown in the video, but the problem is just the opposite. The engine starts when cold, but often won't restart when the engine's hot. Let it cool for about an hour, and it starts right back up. It's been like that since new. Any thoughts? Thanks!

I find it more precise and simpler to use a hole saw to cut both the repair hole and make patch with same hole saw. Even gap all around and no measuring. Good luck 👍

#1 thing to do is mow when the grass is DRY! I know you can't allways do that but I can because I am retired. I just wait until the grass is dry and never mow in the AM hours. I mow later in the afternoon. Recently, I had to change my blades and the underside was very good. I wirebrushed it and painted it with some old spray paint that needed to be used up. It was beautiful, looked brand new! Happy mowing!😀

Great video. To the point and very thorough

bestiseenthankyou

Question. I have a Toro max 1232. There are no grease fittings or shear pines. How do you grease the axle?

Help full video 🙏💯👍

excellent commentary. you could be a newscaster person. lol

Thanks for the breakdown. “Problematic” brass port on bottom on main injector tree was it!

LMFAO I guarantee the second one will work fine. I heard Amazon is changing their return policies to make it more difficult or the changed.

Awesome ...thanks buying it

I installed a new adjustable carb on my older ariens 10hp snowblower. When I push the throttle lever all the way down, it does not shut the engine off. Any idea why ? Thanks

Why is there two oil drain plugs and two drain fill holes?

What’s this service cost?

Manufacturers will make adjustments harder to accomplish to also protect themselves from frivolous warranty claims and cowboy tuners. Also keeps money coming if things cant be repaired and only replaced. Dick moves but can see why things are done.

I took apart my generator carburetor and cleaned it thoroughly. It kept leaking gas, then i did what you said with a q-tip and drill using mothers polish for 10 seconds twice. The needle valve seat was black and now looks shiny brass just like the one in your video. No more leaking carburetor and once again a great running generator. I learned something new. Thank you!

blue thread locker is you want to move it later

There was another problem early on with the production of the 4 valve head. Which was with the valve spring. Which is a beehive one. And if it was laid on a table on a table, it would wobble. Long story short, during installation, the spring could be installed upside down, causing a reject and removing a seal in the process. Then, picking up another spring, which would be installed without a valve seal.

Did you check your welch plug? BaldEagle242's YT channel covers these carbutraitors, and he mentions the plug as a direct cause of surging.

I tested DC voltage at those two terminals when it was being powered before watching this video. It was reading 12v like i imagined it was supposed to. Do i even need to test continuity if this is the case? If so, why? Edit: i think i realized the answer. Its not "on" when i have it hooked up normally so the circuit i want to test isnt closed. Hooking it up like you show here is supposed to close the circuit allowing it to have continuity. I was testing that the battery was supplying it with electricity with my DC voltage test on the terminals.

This thing looks like a race mower! Awesome!

Completely fixed my problem! Thanks!!!

Very good video, I have a B&S 24hp, it quite charging the 2 wires from the stater r yellow they go straight Regulator no plug. I bought a reg. to replace it have to cut the wires, does it matter which yellow goes to which reg.? If so how do u find out the right one? Thanks

how much pressure is needed by compressor?

This did not fix the problem now what

That was really helpful, Thanks heaps!💪

I'm buying a brand new cub cadet zero turn. What should I use on the underside of the deck to keep it rust free??

Very good info. I have an old Ariens rider that I need to replace the stator on and is a 2000 model that has probably been on there for 24 years! It is a big iron flywheel anyways......thanks again for the info!

Thanks man

My snowblower is leaking from the primer hole Is this the primer problem or is it the carburator problem pushing gas to the primer bulb ?

AL Scott: Great teaching video!

I was having problems with my zero turn mower won’t start, wasn’t getting power to the white wire on the solenoid , watch your video about the parking brake safety switch, that’s what it was, thanks, saved me a night of losing sleep lol 😂

Do you have any videos of replacing throttle cable or throttle adjustment. I took my carburetor assembly off to clean it, put everything back together and now my throttle cable doesn’t work. I have high rpm only. I can not tell by the online diagrams how it’s supposed to be.

Excellent video! You go into much more detail than others, and it is greatly appreciated.

I have this same mower that was bought in 2013, and I need to replace the drive wheel for the first time in 2024. Thanks for the video. Well explained and good video shots.
