That black oil draining out tells me there must have been nothing but sludge in the bottom of that crankcase. Poor mistreated mower! I hang onto used oil just for topping up depleted machines like this so I don’t waste new oil. Run it hot, drain and fill with the good stuff. 🔧👍

Nice! I’d probably price that one at around $150-175, so it was definitely worthwhile to give it a second life (hopefully to be treated better!).

I believe that the drive gears are labeled/stamped right and left to help get them on correctly. I also like to put a little oil in the drive axle trans and wheel bearing when I have the machine on its side. As for value, in my market (Chicagoland) the Toro would sell for at least $150.00. Good video.

It had seen a rough life indeed but thanks to you it lives on for someone to use. God bless to you as well.

My approach to your Tecumseh find would have been different. BUT I am WELL aware how careless and wasteful lot of people are with their investments.

What was the bad noise?

Nice older video! I’m surprised the gaskets didn’t cause a vacuum leak and give you trouble, they looked pretty squashed. I used to dislike working on Honda GCV carbs but I’ve done so many that now I kinda like them. Too bad they’re not making them anymore, but there will still be plenty of old mowers like this around to tinker with lol!

Just bought a non running 78 GL1000 that I'll be getting back up and running. It has a new battery and turns over so it seems like it will be an easy one. :) My throttle is also stuck.

Petes small engine in Minn. has a kit for fg100 transmission.

I like the cearel box gasket!

When you took the cap off of the end of the clutch, what gasket did you use to replace the old one? Brand or part number or if it comes in a kit? If you could link it that would be even better. Thanks!

worst priming system ever.

I've had mine for about 6 years and it works great. I did have to install a manual fuel tap but it was easy. I'd like to know the size of the AGM battery. Can you tell me that? I'm not loving the old flooded battery.

Terrible video and explanation. Get a fork seal driver and nobody cares you’re going to bike week. Next time show the camera the parts so we can see the direction and order of operation. Trash

Not sure why people in the comments are applauding you. Maybe they’re just being nice. For the reassembly, why couldn’t you have shown the camera first which parts you were installing? That way we the viewer could see the direction and order of the parts. Instead you have a half ass view of the fork where you quickly throw the parts down.

Hi. I have an 06. Where is the nuetral safety switch? Mine is bad.

I've got a 2003 Valkyrie are the CCs of oil the same as the 2000

How many CCs of oil did you put on the right side for?

may i suggest some cutting oil when drilling and tapping.

I love the way the gl handles

I got a 2017. Not a single issue in 7 yrs. 4 stroke. Fuel injection. Liquid cooled. Perfect scooter. 9,053 miles. Starts in 2 seconds everytime. Cold rain or snow.❤

How much would you said the parts ran you to fix this? Thanks for the great video.

Sir, what did the crank rod/wrist pin small hole measure? .672 is service life.

I must done mine wrong then. I lapped mine to clean them up a bit using clover brand grinding stuff to do it lol

I do wish you would showed step by step pulling the lower block out with all the drive gear involved

I’ve owned my 06 rancher for 18 years. Always took good care of it. It sat for 6 years. I never started it. Fuel was all drained out of it before I stored it. Got it out in 22, took a fathers and sons trip with a buddy of mine we use to do taking our sons when they were little. It started smoking badly near the end of that quad camping trip. Came home, shoved it back in the barn until 2 weeks ago. I just rehoned the cylinder, new rings, valve guide seals, lapped the valves anyways even though I didn’t think they needed it. Started it up for the first time last night. It smoked at first from oil coating I had on cylinder wall for the first ten mins. It finally stopped. Im gonna test drive it this evening for 30 mins to see how it goes.

I have one of these that i purchased around 2000 and it has done a serious amount of work! Quite amazing really for a 22cc engine, pretty much starts if you breathe on it. Gotta love the older honda machines.

Dryer than a nuns fannie

Some great info regarding identifying worn parts that most other channels fail to mention! Just about due to do my 09 top end currently at 330 hours and this will be my fourth piston i'm hoping the rod is still within spec and i will check the cam chain tensioner for remaining travel using your method. Thanks for the tips.

Awesome video. I hope there’s a follow up video. I have a ‘78 KE175 I’ve been working on

A way to get more engagement is to respond to comments as much as possible. Just saying. 😉

Nice job straightening that bent crankshaft, Greg! When diagnosing crank no starts I always spray some 2-stroke fuel into the intake first. If it fires that eliminates 4 of the 5 requirements to run right off the bat (air, compression, timing, spark). The only thing left is fuel, which is at least 90% of the issues with no starts. Saves time and effort, plus if you don’t know how long an engine has been sitting, then adding a little oil into the cylinder is a good idea anyway.

Excelente video nuevo sub

Thank you very much, I reviewed this video from end and while doing my front left . I couldn't have done it without it

Kawasaki FR730V maintainene

good tutorial Sir..Thank you

I believe that engine is from a Coleman 4400 kW generator because I have one (generator) my dad left me and the paint is green and the engine is 8 hp and it looks just like yours.

Good video. You could rebuild the old one and keep it as a spare.

This is such a great and informative video! I used this for my completely different bike (KLX230r) since the part number for forks seals are the same. I was looking for so long to figure out which direction the fork seals go and you explained it perfectly. Way better than the video I was watching that was for my specific bike lol

thanks, really helpful, rebuilding some KH250 forks which seem really quite similar, so this was really useful additional info

Installed those tie downs on the rear case guard bolt. I put wood blocks under the engine and tighten the bike down using 10" turnbuckles with jam nuts.

Hey there. Trying to fix my 20016 toro. I can’t seem to get the screws to mount carburetor to sit correctly. It’s the same step at the 11:30 mark. Any suggestions?

Thanks great video- i’m rebuilding 76 Kx 125, replacing seals, very helpful!

Hi I have a 2003 Yamaha 350 bruin I tried to jumpstart my lawnmower and now the fourwheeler won’t start up it cranks over just doesn’t start.

Parents had one and it lock up, rebuilt at the dealer Sutherland's Marine & Equipment in Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada. Excellent machine.

How much oil is needed for each telescope?

Always look forward to your projects. Your amiable nature and narrative are much appreciated. Thank you and please do more videos.

In th le same project, thanks for the tips, was able to find honda parts in argentina, they adore this bikes overthere.

Nice job. Thank you good citizen.

Great video. TY. Why do people spend hundreds on mowers and do not perform the necessary maintenance? Or spend hundreds on a new mower instead of repairing their current mower? I am guessing that repair is less expensive than replacement.
