How-to Tune-up a Lawn Mower

[@barryestell6324]

Should tell people to run the engine first to warm the oil so 99 % all comes out !!

[@badthoughts7238]

Tip: put a plastic bag under gas tank cap to prevent leakage of gas when you turn lawn mower onto its side.

People are so negative this man did a wonderful job took his time to share a video keep up the good work and dont worry about the negative feedback

[@lukeWiz44]

Michael White "wonderful job". Yeah, right. That was not thorough whatsoever.

[@shasmi93]

If you ever want to find a bunch of men who have low self esteem and project their manliness by being a “better” technician and understand tools better than anyone else…. Come to this comment section. Jeez

[@fuechivang5891]

I didn’t see you sharp the blade

[@elidoubledub4593]

yea he likes to showcase the technical aspect of removing the glass clippings from under the deck for 15 seconds instead. its a good thing he put that in there. otherwise i wouldnt know how to scrape the clippings off. everyone is born with the knowledge of sharping a mower blade so it didnt make the final cut (no pun intended) of the video.

looks like the wrong spark plug. the threads are way longer than the old one

[@cardo1111]

Good informative vid but I am surprised a master tech wouldn’t use a torque stick when tightening a lawnmower blade.

[@donzi32boats80]

Same thought I had. Toro recommends 90lb of torque. Pretty important info to leave out.

[@norge696]

@@donzi32boats80 90lbs? Jesus. Maybe for a riding lawn mower. Depends on the mower. Most are 40-60ft lbs. Plus once you've done enough blades you can just do it by feel, especially for a walk behind mower. I'd be more worried if he didn't torque down the flywheel with a torque wrench.

[@haljohnson6947]

its not the space shuttle man.

[@user-wj9xq7ig2v]

I always like to put a little less oil in than what it says. Then top it up using the dipstick. Reason being there's always a little old oil left in the motor.

[@ArgoPower]

tune up? this is a normal service, good service, but not tune up

[@LinuxJedi]

new spark plug every year? what a waste

[@kip_knomore]

Thank you for the walk thru!! Hopefully I can save my mower before it dies completely!!

[@blackiechong4344]

I do believe he put the blade on wrong

[@MrOneballjay02]

Very helpful video! Just got a new to me push mower and will be sing my very first tune up.

[@lewishawks2258]

I don't see you blow out all of the fin

[@lromeroyt]

did all this and still it didn't run

[@marttrev4279]

You're in a shop and you use a wrench to remove the blade? Impact wrench is easier

[@marttrev4279]

What kind of plug was that ? Torque to how many lbs?? How much for the tune up you did?

[@Muzikakurdi1]

Did it start?

[@user-gr3rk6ur2p]

wonderful professiona vid thank you CAG 6/20/2019 e

[@benkiist8218]

If you don’t have the manual for the lawn mower, how do you find the amount of oil?

[@christianiniguez9564]

If Im expecting a tune up I would expect all new parts to be installed in that tune up

[@austinschleick1140]

I like how the blade bolt was hand tight.

[@nissargadatta]

That's not a re-tune, that's a service!

[@ChicagoSirens]

Would I be able to run SAE 30 in my Honda mower in the Chicago area?

[@conner5611]

If its above 50 degrees yes

[@gilbertguerrero9361]

got mower running but it's rough out of timing maybe?

[@TheUncommonKIBBLES]

the deck is still caked with organics. if you are sharpening or replacing the blade why not clean out the deck for better cutting performance?

[@MickTattersall]

Because it's just a video 🙄

[@kazoobros5444]

Why don't you use the drain plug to drain the oil

[@schommer75]

Could you tell me where it is? Sounds so much easier then the way I’ve been doing it

[@mjbailey404]

@@schommer75 It should be under the deck

[@nicholasahlfs3795]

If the mower has a belt drive, draining from the bottom drain plug may accidentally hit the belt.

[@greenstar4030]

Thanks. Very helpful.

[@saffron1977]

Thank you

[@olivaddavilo9614]

Good idea to start the mower when you're finished to confirm that it's running good.

[@TheUncommonKIBBLES]

also you only did a lawn mower check up. you did not tune up Just Check & Add Enginesanything.

[@donzi32boats80]

Agree

[@DwightKShrute]

I live by ft wayne!! Good job buddy. Thanks
