Hey Mustie thanks for all you do - I have learned so much by watching your channel. I've made close to $20,000 in the last three years flipping lawn equipment and when I get stuck on an issue there is almost always a video you have done that has covered it. I also appreciate that your channel is so simple. No music, no intro/outro, no yelling and over excited tone. Just me and you in the garage.

In the U.K. I had my lawnmower at six ( some called ) service centres ,none could fix it . A friend said a engineer in north Scotland was the best in the business ( by far) phoned him , but it on the bus parcel service . I phoned the guy three days later and he said “the mowers repaired and but on the bus back” , 4 years on and it’s still going strong . The guys the small tool and mower wizard and I’ve used him to fix a few petrol and electrical tools and it’s a excellent and not expensive service by someone that knows his stuff.

You remind me of the best mechanic I ever knew. He had power plant and airframe licenses for the US and the UK (while in the Air Force). I was in his auto repair shop and he fixed a car by replacing a bad relay. He had the car finished and then he started cutting the bad relay apart. I asked him why he was doing that. His reply was he wanted to see if the relay went bad or if something external cooked the relay. He wanted to be sure he fixed the issue, not a symptom of another problem

Wow what a list of finds for connections and issues. They unplugged but swapped when reconnecting. Maybe some marking paint both on a switch and it's connector will prevent swapping of those next time. I had one like this and most of what you found was similar but worse on yours. Too many possible causes makes people give up, then they add causes. There's no book for ease of diag. The schematics are a chore to learn versus automotive. What I had to do was eliminate everything, and just hook up what the customer agreed to have for safeties. We sat and reasoned it out several times, over a week. I had a bag of wires and connectors left afterwards. Then our magneto went open. So, a water damaged ign switch, rewiring to make the new one fit, eliminating spaghetti, and the magneto, then belts, and a mower deck refurb. Wow, I could had a V8. All because it sat in the weather. It took over a month with hours researching and some travel. Now we see the need for the bottle opener on the keychain. You are tenacious in your diagnosis. I admire that about you.

This makes me think about working on one of my Jaguars! One second the thing is working;the next second, it is not! Nothing but frustration! You're the man, Darren!

Electrical problems are always the hardest to track down. I think in this case, looking up a wiring diagram or the manual would have been helpful to save some time in troubleshooting. Obviously it is useful to understand the troubleshooting process but I'm guessing most people just want to get things running again ASAP. Thanks for the video and love seeing you diagnose small engines

A schemy helps, but doesn't determine failed switches, relays, or bad wiring. Like here, everything ""looked"" OK, but a probe or DMM in experienced skilled hands can really get the job done. Two other guys may have used schematics, but failed to find the fault. First rule to troubleshoot electric problems is to check for good connections and contacts, like fuses, wiring, and switches. But all that safety crap can be tricky, like here.

@ MrBigNoze You obviously either didnt watch the whole vid or pay attention, or both...as in other vids Mustie makes it quite clear using manuals etc takes the troubleshooting out of it, and thats what its all about, thats what makes these vids what they are ...using his own skills to find the problem...use a manual and the vids will be a few mins long and boring..
