Quick tip for you mate . Pull on pullcord slowly once you feel it go solid (compression stroke) leave it there and you’ll be able to turn mower on it’s side as the exhaust port will be closed by the piston (stopping the oil) 👍 Great channel I do the same but only with saws

I picked up one of these for £20 on gumtree because it wouldn't start. Can of carb cleaner for £4 and followed your video. It now runs beautifully. Thanks.

[@themowerman]

Fantastic well done

[@xdatauk]

I don't make many comments tbh, but this certainly deserves a big "thank you". Watching dozens of similar issues like this I pulled the carb off and on to no avail many times, and the F****** thing still wouldn't run more than 5 sec. What struck me about this one is you saying just because the fine needle file or whatever you use goes through a jet or fuel flow opening doesn't mean it's completely clean. Also don't chase a carb that's beyond a normal clean buy a new one meaning they can really gum up badly With that in mind I really went to town making sure my fine drills ended up turning in the holes and not like before threading in and out, and then I finished reaming them with the drill bits like you showed. Low and behold she now purrs like a kitten and the the grass has had its first cut. BTW Take no notice of those having a pop at you about your camera work. Because if they can't suss what you are doing out of camera shot they shouldn't be attempting this and instead pay someone like you. :-)

[@themowerman]

Boom... Ya see... That's how it's done... Good on ya.. ohhh I don't worry to much about bad comments.... But it is nice to get a good one once in a while... Happy mowing..

Hi Mick, just bought one of these mowers and it was exactly the same, it wouldn't keep running and when it did it was constantly hunting, I watched your video and then tackled the job. It's now running great 👍

[@themowerman]

Well that's fantastic.. and exactly why I do the videos..

Great video Mick, appreciate it !! Took my carburettor apart( almost identical to the one in your video ) and noticed it didn’t have an o-ring 🤨. It’s worked for 2 years without so hopefully it will run for another 2 lol !! I’ve also bought some of the tools you use. Carb needle cleaning kit and the pick tool. Bought both for under a tenner 😁

Great video, I've got the same Mower in the video just about to take the carb apart and noted I've got what looks like grit in the fuel tank. How do you clean your fuel tanks out?

Take the tank off... And remove the fuel hose and filter.. clean and wash out... And make sure it's dry..

Hi Mick, (just so ya know the camera couldn't see some of what you were doing but got the jist of it. Now for the question. I bought a new carb for mine and it came with a filter, is it an issue to cut the fuel pipe from tank to carb and add said filter in ?

[@adrianfielder4675]

ooh I have another question , whats the spark plug gap for this ?

[@adrianfielder4675]

is this ordinary unleaded fuel ?

[@themowerman]

Just cut the fuel line mate and pop the filter in

[@themowerman]

30..Thousands

[@themowerman]

Yes but only use E5 NOT e 10

[@bentullett6068]

I was checking out what the price of these mowers had gone up to now and they are the price of what the 45cm SP454 models were about three years ago (well over £200 now). So if you can clean the carburettors out on these and replace the useless Torch plugs and avoid using standard E10 pump fuel these mowers should run many years.

[@themowerman]

Ta for the comment mate .. yeah the price is now mental

[@bentullett6068]

@Micks Mowers The Mower Man decent spev ride on mowers are at the £7,000 mark now but I hate to say it they are being replaced by robotic mowers due to the lazy tech generation. Being 31 and literally being brought up my life with petrol mowers and gardening equipment I am unsure of this new era of battery and technology. Even my love of cars has disappeared due to electrification of near enough everything.

[@user-sz9lq5hw1i]

I've got a 2007 briggs and stratton 650 series 190cc that does something similar, but mine only cuts out once the engine gets hot after about 10 minutes. It starts once cooled down after a few minutes but then cuts out once again when hot. Any idea of the cause? Faulty ignition coil, worn piston rings perhaps? It's recently had a carb service so doubt its that. Any help or advice would be most appreciated.

[@themowerman]

I would say coil or spark plug.. get an in line tester for the spark plug.. and when it cuts out check for spark..

As soon as I saw it was a chonda engine I thought idle jet!!! You say about a new plug helping with running, staying away from E10 fuel is a good move too, chondas don't like it!
