Hi thanks for the video! I just picked one up pretty cheap running, but I want to go over it like you did to ensure it's reliable!

You have an amazing array of tools! I would have chucked the whole project in by the slide hammer time as a lost cause due to my skill level. Personally I don’t think the mower is worth the effort. Excellent video though and excellent teaching on your part!!

First of all, that small tube thats in the oil tank is a Sintered brass tube. That means the tube is pourous. The idea is that when you shut the saw off, the pressure in the tank is bled off through the Sintered tube back in to the crankcase otherwise the pressure will continue to push oil out until the pressure is bled off. There needs to be about 1/8" between the end of the Tygon tube and the end of the duckbill. Second, you have the air filter assembled wrong. That metal grate goes in first then the foam sits on top of the metal grate. The way you have it assembled, the foam air filter is pushed down in to the butterfly so flip the metal grate and the foam air filter around.

Watching your clip, I think I am seeing the carb / filter housing wobble a bit when you nudge it. If this is the case, the carb is loose in the intake port attached to the engine. There are two 4mm hex button head bolts on the bottom of the port assembly that have to be tightened so there is no movement of the carb / filter assy at all. If there is movement, you are likely sucking air in past the carb which will lean down your mixture. To tighten these bolts, you need to tear down the blower so you can lift the motor and fuel tank up enough to access the bolts. Please refer to this video supplied by "The Greasy Shop Rag" for the exact step by step on how to perform this procedure. It really saved my butt and a lot of money! kzbin.info/www/bejne/qpCZh6idp8tnpJo

Who did you purchase your parts from?

Its this that WD 40.is Penetrating oil/ water Displacemet / and degreaser. T evaporate and not really a Lubercant. Like Dry lube silacone . Maybe work better

Did you use RTV on the valve cover?

Excellent video. Well done!

If you do get it off I recommend luring it with Anti Seize before Reinstalling it Maybe heat it up and add wax from.a Birthday Candle

It's looks like you have been watching James Gordon Channel

thanks man i dont live with my dad and i hadda mow the lawn couldnt find a vid anywhere but u helped me thanks a lot🖤

I was diagnosing my blower earlier and decided to watch this video afterwards. Mine had the exact issue with the filters and lines

I’m having the same shit going on !! Can’t figure it out !!!!

You can even lubercaite itcwithvWhite Spray Grease

Instead of WD 40 used WD 40 Gel Lube

Did you use anti - seize on the Bushings

Heat up the sprocket and put a Birthday Candle after you remove the Heat letvthe wax seep in

What wuld you use to lube the Hieght Adhustment mechanism

How do you shatpen the Blades

All they need is a 2 buck carb kit and quart of 30W oil plus a 3.25 air filter Just like new 😊😊😊

How you clean it up Degrees or Power wash Or this wipe down With WD 40 Or pledge Furniture Polish

warm water in the ultra sonic works best when i use mine

from experience not all £20/$20 mowers are equal but some are more equal than other. great video btw 🙂

thats awesome.. i wish i could do this .. great job

Volume is low 😢

Wow

No don’t know how you could open it up with the outside so darn filthy

New one is 100 bucks, junk ones 5 bucks if it’s all there and looks good

Proper👍

Theses still sale fast in the used mower market 😊 I call them cemeteries mowers because they are light and reliable for small plots 😅

Where did you get your parts from ? I have this saw too, ran a bit but not long fuel out exhaust picked it up at a flea market for 10 bucks So Id like to try and save it, Im missing about as much as you are LOL

🐭strikes again

Just worked on an identical carb. Didn't know the handle was obsolete. Of all the handles I had I was able to find 1 to replace that style.

Nice flip! I feel like push mowers are significantly easier and less complicated to fix than weed whackers, leaf blowers and even bigger riding mowers. Have you noticed that too? Cheers!

I love videos like this. Just fascinating - even for a novice homeowner who doesn’t have a handy husband ! 😀

I need the parts you replaced. Where did you order them from. I thought I heard you say

I have had the pick-up tube loose wouldnt suck up gas. I pull them out warm up the end with a lighter push it against a object to squash it and expand it a little re install. Now tight.

Omg what a find . Best mowers ever. I just bought 2 like that one for 999 . They are going away forever .

Awesome video, one thing. The blade is facing the wrong way.

Thank you. Great video. I love those little mowers.

Great, thorough video on the nice lil’ Briggs classic! I think the governor vane might still be just a little bit sticky, could be more mouse gunk hanging it up on the bottom near the engine block. I think that’s why it revs up and down for a few seconds when it’s first started. These are such great engines, glad you took the time to bring it back!

Awesome video! Thanks for sharing, and great job on putting the pieces back together!

Good service! Spark plug gap is usually .030 on most mowers and .025 for blowers and trimmers. Also, I would have checked the coil too, since you are there and checked the air vein bolt. Always best to double check. Good find on blade mounted upside down.

Great video!

Great video! It looked to me like the springs were not stretched enough to pull the governor vane back after you would let it go. Those engines will run forever if taken care of!!

Good video. I learned how to get the emulsion tube out of this type carb!! Thanks for the education.

Thank you so much

Cool find and video. I would've at least cleaned that carb knowing people use ethanol and was probably the culprit of it not starting. It doesn't explain why they thought it was seized up. But good video.

Same issues, looks like its the coil, thanks.

I bought this lawnmower from a guy on Bahgdad….
