Well done video and explanation! Good to know that’s it’s not always a compression release valve broken internally.

Camshaft unloader is the main problem they are made so cheaply

I noticed you didn’t remove spark plug and put motor to top dead center? Is this common?

I have a jd la135 I inherited from a friend, it shuts off when it heats up. Any direction you can point me to? Replaced coils, carb, plugs, fuel pump, ....all safety switches are bypassed. I'm puzzled

Same as a Snapper Lt200 0/8 model

Well explained thank you for this video 👍

Thank you for very good tips. I follow you from today.😀😀

Thank you for the video. I have found a replacement tank and was wondering if you or anyone reading this knows a way ti remove the back fender without messing with the front. I just want to replace the tank. Thank you again

OR...some enterprising young man hit a tree root and you got a bent, or worse broke, flywheel key and she is out of time.

Good job, ah ha , your funny, i am dealing with the same delema, retoring a unit that dropped a pushrod and bad fuel pump. I am going to see if i can use the cracked original tank, if not you gave me some ideas. Thanks, and the mower ready to sell "big red" looks great, nice work. .. John

Thanks, I have watched at least a dozen or so videos on this subject and yours is the most detailed and to the point which I appreciate. as Sgt. Joe Friday would say, Just the facts.

This makes absolutely no sense. You’ve angered me instead of taught me.

Anyone have pics or info in the pre 83 (fuel tank under hood) bagger setup? I have the chute and lid, no bag and cant see how one would even attach. After 82 the tank moved to the back and uses a different/higher bagger assembly.

Cool video lots of good information

How did you get the drive belt off the front pulley?

Very good tutorial. Thanks.

I'm fixing to do the same with my mower. I already have the seat switch bypassed so I can get off the tractor while it's running. The safety switches are just there to babysit the stupid people who have no common sense. It doesn't take much to bypass all those switches but tearing out all the wiring and starting over is so much simpler and cleaner.

Great

Great, everything is clear, thank you. I have a question. On my ignition switch 5 the names of the terminals are M, C, B, L, G. To which of them should I connect the wire coming from the alternator to recharge the battery?

Good video I have a Craftsman too two lines to gas tank top and bottom can I get a tank like yours and not use top line and were did you get that gas tank thank you.

That's the issue I had. I was able to actually find a red gas can that fits in the front perfectly.

Thanks for the video. I replaced the head gasket and the engine wouldn't turn over. It would move a little then stop. Your video was simple to follow and was exactly the fix I needed. I must have had the valves adjusted wrong the first go around. I could barely spin it by hand. Thanks for the checks to do prior. I went through all them- battery, starter, compression movement (had the last after the adjustment). Yea, I had to take it apart twice but it starts now. That's all that matters. 👍🏻

This is the worst, most negligent tractor/mower video I have ever watched. You suggest removing the key switch and using a push button. You do not provide any wiring advice or instruction by the title of the video implies that you do this to bypass the start safety switches which under normal operation will prevent the engine from starting in an unsafe condition. And the video shows how you DIY rewired the PTO switch too, which also bypasses the safety kill circuit; that kills the engine should the mower tip over or the rider leaves the seat. You are opening yourself up to a negligence law suit as well as putting people's lives or health in jeopardy. If you don't know how to diagnose and repair a tractor/mower wiring properly, then you should learn or take it to a trained mechanic. But you should definitely not make videos where...should someone even less educated than yourself could be injured or killed should they follow your video advice...smh

I got a non running cub cadet, I have been trying to figure out these crazy wires. Today I'm wiring mine like yours.

Thanks for a good video on the easy way to adjust the valves. Two thing I’d like to add that may help 1. You need to adjust the valves before you can check to see if the compression release is working if the valves are out of adjustment you’ll never see that little movement. 2. Spend $10 and change the aluminum intake pushrod to the same steel rod as used in the exhaust . The aluminum rods wear at the guide and snap and the ends mushroom. It’s a great way to keep from having problems why Briggs using aluminum pushrod beyond me.

Good job! Thanks for the info. You just got a new subscriber!

My valve cover will not come off. It's like super glued. Lol, How do I get it off?

Can you please explain about coils wires in next video

Hello i was wondering if you would happen to know the front rim size on the lt2000 i can't seem to find it

Did I miss it or do you just leave the charging wire connected to your battery?

that looks like crap.

Welp, learning to adjust small engine valves and repaired my Honda mower where it now purrs like a kitten! Thank for the video!

I bought this to use as my ignition switch on a 1963 Bolens 800 riding mower kzbin.infoUgkxaAnMgzTZ_djF6K1Kr3MGiW_XGUMfUP8n I repowered with a 13hp Predator engine. Worked great! On the back of this switch are 5 terminals labeled G, M, L, S, and B. The G was wired straight to ground, The S was wired from the back of the switch to my starter solenoid. The L is for any accessories, so I ran it from the L terminal to a rear light I have on the riding mower. M is for the coil, so I plugged the stock coil wire to this wire terminal. The B is for constant battery power, so this was wired to the positive battery cable. I turn the key, first click is the accessory position, and my rear light came on as expected. Turned the key all the way and Vroom...the engine started. Turn it back to the off position, and the engine turned off. Perfect! Hope this helps!

Some say top dead center, this guy says exhaust all the way in.... to hell with it just get one to where its loose then adjust it to where its snug. Then do the other the same. Thats what I'm getting from KZbin

Sorry how did the sh1t get on you engine?

Thank you! I'm definitely not an engine repair guy. To say I was clueless would be an understatement. My engine was turning over once, stopping, then turning over again, stopping, etc. I followed your directions and it fired right up! Thanks for making this video!

That sounds good without a muffler 😊

Sounds to me like you have a "stupid" Craftsman. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.

My tank was busted all around, I didn't have room for the battery under the seat without raising the seat. So I mounted an aluminum 2 gallon tank (they can be found by searching "aluminum hot hod gas tank" they're about a $100 bucks) behind the seat, I also ran a steel gas line all the way to the pump. The external tank might look weird, but it's much safer, and the steel gas line is better than the rubber that ran very close to the belts.

😄😄😄 Rock'N'Roll bro!!!

The parts numbers go up, so you can read them to buy the camshaft when it breaks which will be soon

Briggs and Stratton is literally garbage nowadays the camshaft compression release breaks on them like toothpicks amongst everything else goes bad plastic gears or nylon. They call them now junk

Just letting you know I tried everything that you did exactly to the tea and now my ship won't start at all won't even crank

Keep looking. Another guy shows a real simple way to take only the back fenders body off. Easy peasy.

Did he say the word ((shhit))

I’m having starting issues with mine I picked up ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD! 😂❤ guy had it labeled free and helped me load it into my truck! Think it may be a fuel pump issue. Slapped a battery on it changed oil and put fresh gas in it today. Any idea where to get a replacement fuel pump?

Really nice video..mine is turning over slowly..How did you make valves go up and down..couldnt see in the focus mode.thabks

I will put a cut off switch under the just for safety for the kids, but yes is a good idea 👍

Wonder what the lash was BEFORE you adjusted them? I ask that because I've seen bent push rods a time or 2. Good on point video here.
