customer hit something with their Honda mower, won't run. can I fix it??

[@punchion]

Just found your channel. I fixed my own mower today thanks to guys like you on KZbin. That's a blessing for me. God bless you.

[@gregsmowersandmore5878]

So thankful that I was helpful to you. All glory to God. Very happy you were able to get yours going again. Thank you for watching and God bless you too.

[@billdeblaey6078]

You saved that from the landfill!!! That mower had a hard life, I'm always amazed at the stuff people run over. That GCV160 is a great engine, the carb is a pain to work on, but luckily mine hasn't given me any issues. You've turned things around and I'm happy for you and your family!!!

[@gregsmowersandmore5878]

Thank you for the kind words. This mower had definitely been through the ringer for sure . Appreciate you watching and commenting and so glad your enjoying the videos. God bless

[@Timburgess03..]

Proud of you for still being sober to this day! What a blessing it truly is! Keep going your doing amazing! ☺️

[@gregsmowersandmore5878]

Tim, it's been quite a journey. When I think back in who I used to be to who God has made me today it truly is unbelievable the change. I'm eternally grateful for everything the Lord has done for me. He truly did bring me out of spiritual Egypt. God bless you and thank you for your kind words.

That Murray was made by Husqvarna and rebranded as Murray . Murray went out of business. Many years ago but Briggs bought the brand name and has other mfg make mowers and stick a Murray sticker on it and also have control over what engine is put on it. But they still have some Honda engines on them for options to customers at a increased price

[@gregsmowersandmore5878]

That's interesting. I never knew Murray went out of business. I figured it probably had a newer Briggs on it at some point that was swapped to the Honda. I remember when Murray was one of the cheapest no frills mowers you could buy at Walmart lol. They were pretty good back then with the flathead Briggs engine though. Thank you for sharing that knowledge and also for watching my video. May God bless you.

[@dfields9511]

@@gregsmowersandmore5878 yah briggs acquired the brand name in 2004 and 2005 closed Ohio Mfg and basially outsourced the mfg of gas powered equipment to Husqvarna and MTD (Troybilt). now Murray is just a rebranded Ningbo Daye Garden Machinery out of China. the deck quality is about the same as MTD but parts are much harder to find.

[@gregsmowersandmore5878]

Dfields, that's a real.shame. I really wish these manufacturers would bring things back to the good old USA. God bless.

[@demcomp]

Hey Greg, Audio needs improvement, if I had your email or a way to DM you, I'd shoot you a link to a wireless lavalier set I use on my channel fixing mowers (not this acct). It's a world of difference on audio quality 😊 (and they're very inexpensive!) These little engines are great fun to work on. As for sheared blade adapters, I've got a Husqvarna Weed Eater lawnmower and I clipped a stone, which sheared the tits off the adapter.. it was hilarious when I found out after, because the blade was still spinning after I shut off the mower! I was absolutely howling in laughter at it

[@gregsmowersandmore5878]

Demcomp, thank you for the offer. My email is [e-mail]. I'm not sure how much good it'll do though. All my videos are shot on my cell phone. Google Pixel 8 pro and edited on my phone as well I don't have a laptop or any of the stuff and I'm not well versed in anything like that as far as uploading and editing on anything other than my phone. I do the best I can given the circumstances but my audio is constantly changing with animals, birds, people,trains,cars etc. I'm definitely willing to try and learn something new though as long as I can use my phone to do it. I've seen a few with the pins broke off the blade adapters. It definitely makes for some interesting noises and vibration lol. Thank you so much for offering your help and for watching. God bless.

I assumed it is a re-engined Murray fitted with a Honda engine from a Husqvarna lawn mower. I think it's original Briggs and Stratton engine have been badly damaged from the impact of a hard object.

[@gregsmowersandmore5878]

I most definitely agree with you that's most likely what happened. You can definitely tell it's been through the ringer a time or too lol. Thank you so much for watching. May God bless you.

You’re slipping Greg you forgot the balance the blade L O L

Hi Greg , how are things in your area. Almost every time I have to remove a blade adapter- it’s rust welded on and needs a puller. Nice video

Thank you for the sub. So glad your enjoying the content. I charge 30 dollars per hour. I keep track of time and charge accordingly. I don't charge markup on parts and I do charge for shop supplies as needed. Most of the local shops around here are anywhere from 55 to 100 an hour for labor. I don't advertise because if I did id never be able to keep up. Word of mouth is more than enough lol. Hope this was helpful to you and I pray blessings for you in your endeavors. God bless
