thanks for your videos what cleaner do you use in the ultrasonic cleaner

great videos thanks nothing wrong with a little ocd ,valve stem caps are a must to keep from filling the valve stem with dirt the next time air is put in keep up the great work and God bless

Sweet!! Your videos are always interesting and entertaining. We always learn something. Many thanks! 😀👍

Everything is like that. Be upset at your gov for destroying the dollar

Thanks so much for this video! I have the same blower and it was surging and backfiring. I removed the carb and cleaned it using carb cleaner and a small wire that fit into the jets. The jet under the governor adjustment screw ended up being plugged from what i could tell. I also removed and cleaned the fuel tank, shut off valve and lines. Went with non ethanol fuel this time around and it purrs like a kitten. Thanks again for the video!

Three years ago I thought I had enough space in my toolchest for any tool I might want to acquire or actually need. Then I doubled that space with more toolchests. Did that help? NOPE! Let’s face it - TOO MUCH IS NEVER ENOUGH! 😂🔧🔧🔧🔧🔧👍 PS-That not only goes for tools. It also goes for parts and it definitely goes for space in which to work. 😉

I’m gonna sneak into your shop some night and replace every feeler gauge with ones that are only marked in thousandths. I have watched dozens (actually, probably hundreds) of videos from guys above the border and none of them call out the numbers in metric, so I don’t think Canadians really mind. That includes Jake, Dony, Don and Steve. (Guys on the other side of The Ponds don’t really matter. No offense, Mick and Tom!) 😂 Maybe you should take a poll. Just sayin’. (Or mind my own beeswax!) 😉

Hey, everyone deserves to catch a break once in a while, even self-deprecating JD, right? 😉🔧👍

Enjoyed as always Hester!

I have a generator with a Honda clone and the parts manual lists that cap on the end of the valve as a "Valve Rotator" specified as a exhaust valve only part. I found this out when adjusting the valves and noticed the intake didn't have one. Pretty sure it's on other Hondas.

Cement equipment is AllWAYS a bad rings 😢😢😢

Do you know of a place that sale piston rings for a powermore 420 cc engine ???😮

Always nice to get a good surprise! 😃👍🇺🇸

You got really lucky with this one and I've heard of that Hester guy, maybe I should check out one of his videos. 🙂

Thank you for your videos. Just recently found your channel but have enjoyed watching several of your videos. Especially enjoy your sardonic sense of humor, reminds me of myself 😁

Work on it

Wash it be for u wood on it

Always good videos - keep them coming. Thanks

👍

Very helpful video with some good tips. I've always used the "off switch" and over the years I've run into all the issues you mentioned! I'll use the fuel shut off in the future, thank you.

At 31 min,,, having john deere flashbacks😮😮

YUP 👍

It's official, JD - this is the first video I watched on your channel (14 months ago). Now I've caught up on all the previous ones, I think, starting from your first one up to this here. I'll keep going through them to the present time to make sure I didn't miss any. :)

JD’s gettin’ mushy. He said, “Love you guys” at the end. Love you too! 😂🔧👍

Awesome video. Very educational. Found your channel and subbed today. It was an entertaining video like a TV show lol. Binging your other vids.

That was the most in depth, educational and enjoyable video l have seen in a long time. Thanks for your great class!

Wow! My first thoughts were that this one may have seen its last day. Well done, Sir! 👍👍

I didn't think there was much hope for this blower at first, but you got 'er running great. Nice job!

I actually don’t think these are garbage blowers. If the fasteners are all T25 or T27 I call it decent quality.

If I spot a cracked purge bulb then it’s an automatic full service replacement of all lines and bulb. Same goes for stiff or broken lines. That way I have a baseline for the next time the piece comes in - no guessing about when one line will go next. I also automatically replace the metering diaphragm. So far I’ve found one pump diaphragm with a hairline crack I only spotted by holding it up to a light, so now I examine all of them that way in addition to looking at the reeds for flatness and the section over the collection area for too large of a bulge.

I actually have my four sizes of 2-stroke fuel lines in ziplocks exactly like yours! Most are genuine Tygon currently. I usually buy about 25 feet at a time.

What kind of oil do you use ?

Oh, wow! That tip about using a magnet to hold a bolt in place - GOLD! 🙏 Now I’ll share mine - use that same magnet (two, actually) to hold deck lift arms or hangers up out of the way when sliding a mowing deck out from under some lawn tractors. Not my idea, but I’ve used it a time or two. 🔧👍

JD, there’s a sailboat rigging hardware tool called a snatch block. It opens on one side so you can place anywhere along a line to pull from a different direction. You could tie one onto that tree to change the direction of pull when getting equipment off the trailer if you can’t line up directly with the ramp. Also useful for many other things. Find a used one at a used boat supply place. Just make sure the sheave can take wire rope occasionally without wearing out.

In joy listing to you very informative down to earth an in joy able.

Nice save Hester, I thought that thing was gabbage to start with all it's issues. 👍 Yep I heard it. 🤣

Some of the gasoline is sickening to smell, can’t believe they don’t even dump it before bringing to shop

Funny, I thought the same as someone else about the lightness of your lifting chain when I first saw it, but after a while it seemed to be holding up okay so I forgot about it. I’m still trying to recall where I’ve seen that push mower lifting bar before. I thought it looked like something you’d mount on a garage wall to hang a bicycle, but I searched and came up with nothing. I know I’ve seen it somewhere before…

Great change of pace! Good job - that thing runs better than most blowers! Thanks for the video!

The new welder has officially paid for itself! 👍

This one is too nice to keep, plus we all know “red sells”, so I’d probably have sold it for top dollar and kept using the crap gray, green or orange ones for my own yard. 😉🔧👍

Didn’t even need a carb clean!!! Just doesn’t feel right without it! 😂🔧👍

That was absolutely beautiful- It runs like a top now! Outstanding job

18:54……funny as hell

That tire shop must have put the teenaged oil change monkey on the job and didn’t care enough to teach him how to do it. There’s one place I’d never go back to!

Nice!!

I’m confused. You’re talking about carb issues in the comments and you replaced the carb, but it seemed like you were saying the thermal choke sensor was the issue just before you mounted the carb. The thermal is dead easy to replace but you didn’t do that. If I had to guess from what I saw, I’d say it might have been the clogged pilot jet was the culprit.

Time to make up a set of installation studs to use when doing those carbs. I’ve used a pair of wooden dowels and promised myself next time I get on one of those carbs I’ll pull one stud and either cut the heads off a couple bolts or get to the hardware store for some correct size rod to cut and thread and paint with holes in one end to tie them together so they don’t go walkabout. That’s my story and I’m stickin’ to it! 😁🔧👍

I’m pretty sure some monkey was messing around with that machine. All the things that were wrong with it, and hardly anything attributable to age or bad fuel!

That turbo tip seems to work really well on the pressure washer. Recommend?
