Husqvarna riding mower won't stay running Why? Pt 2

[@marcswanson7066]

Thanks for the million dollar tip about removing the solenoid to drain water and crud from the float bowl. Because of its position and construction, however, I soon discovered that all of my wrenches were useless for the job. In desperation I resorted to a vise-grips. The mower now runs like new.

[@TheShadeTreeFixitMan]

Glad to be of help and thanks for stopping by the shop today.

[@danielrousseau2637]

And God bless you and Kevin our prayers go out to you ,

[@TheShadeTreeFixitMan]

Will keep praying for Kevins recovery . Good to see you up and working again !!

[@TheShadeTreeFixitMan]

I'm not at full speed yet, but good enough to get some stuff done. Thanks Norman

[@shawnryan7713]

Just discovered your channel. Excellent video George, very detailed and how calm you stay is terrific. Your like the Bob Ross of engine repairs. By the way any update on Kevin?. I’ll keep you and your family in my prayers. Thanks again George.

[@TheShadeTreeFixitMan]

Kevin is doing very well other than a few minor things like swelling ankles and poor grip in his hands. Thank you for the very kind words and for following along.

[@philliphall5198]

On the rear fuel tank mower, check the elbow coming out of tank for trash and grass that will restrict fuel flow, if you think it’s running out of fuel it’s most likely not the oem fuel pump 😊

[@TheShadeTreeFixitMan]

Good advice, thank you. Of course we now know that the problem was the water in the gas.

[@danielworrell6762]

Bless you brother. Hopefully this is my problem. Thanks!!

[@TheShadeTreeFixitMan]

I hope so too for your sake. Thanks for stopping by.

Continued prayers for Kevin. Yes we always called them Tiger Lilies up here they grow wild on the hillsides and creek banks up our hollow but seem to be getting fewer over the recent years.

[@TheShadeTreeFixitMan]

Yes, they grow wild around here too, but I'm grateful that they grow on this banking for us to enjoy every day. Thank you John

I’ve had so much trouble with fuel hose now I just replace it all, sure saves me time and keeps customers happy 😆

[@TheShadeTreeFixitMan]

Agreed, the ethanol wreaks havoc on fuel line. Thanks for stopping by.

[@19stoney64]

As a former repair tech for Se-ars, you be surprised how many calls I went on where mower would die after using a little while. Let it sit for a while and start up again. It was usually always gas cap that was dusty and not venting.

[@TheShadeTreeFixitMan]

That's interesting. Thanks Don

[@burtonkephart6239]

I worked at a store and there was a pressure washer that wouldn’t stay running and we looked and looked and checked etc!!! Finally we found a little tiny hole in the gas tank. Changed the gas tank and Shazam !!!

[@mattthescrapwhisperer]

Great detective work George. Glad the mower is running again. Sorry Kevin had a setback. We'll keep the prayers going.

[@TheShadeTreeFixitMan]

Thanks so much Matt. We are expecting him to come home tomorrow, Monday 6-14

Having similar issue with yth2448. Suggest when you test fuel pump take piece of 1/4 hose and slip on output and run into water bottle. Also use pan or shutoff clamp on line from tank. Have not finished video, thanks for doing it.

[@TheShadeTreeFixitMan]

Thanks for the great suggestion and for stopping by.

[@txsviking]

Prayers for Kevin and for his speedy recovery. Water in the fuel will trick ya every time.

[@GardenTractorBoy]

Great work chasing that water out of the fuel system. I hope Kevin makes a good recovery

[@TheShadeTreeFixitMan]

Sadly, Kevin was supposed to come home today, but started bleeding again and now they will have to do another procedure on him. Likely won't be home til the end of the week now. Thanks

[@mrcollier1641]

Turn your gas cap back a turn so it's not tight. Sometimes, the cap doesn't vent and does not let the fuel flow normally.

[@TheShadeTreeFixitMan]

Thanks for the suggestion.

[@philliphall5198]

If they come by shop and tell me what it’s doing I send a cap I’ve drilled hole in to try They bring it back and buy the new ones I have in stock

[@gregvan5057]

Soon to be " George the Chicken Farmer " lol j/k Good to see you back btw I have had good luck with K100 for water removal.

[@TheShadeTreeFixitMan]

Thanks Greg. I just found a relatively local gas station that has ethanol free gas. They service boats.

[@marshallborder9089]

Haven't watch the thing whole yet , sounds like a carburetor clean is due with looking for water in the system also . Sitting outside is the first mistake , that's a no no sitting outside - need too at least cover it up out of the elements . After finishing the video later , sorry about the medical problems your family is enduring Prayers 🙏🏻

[@TheShadeTreeFixitMan]

Advice taken and you nailed it. Water in the gas. Thanks

[@littlejoe9381]

Thank you. I will try your suggestions. I hope it’s just a little water in the fuel.

[@MissouriOldTimer]

I'm sorry that Kevin kinda had a set back but I'm sure he'll be getting better soon,, Yeah. water has been a problem in several mowers this year.

[@TheShadeTreeFixitMan]

I just found a place to get ethanol free gas not too far from me. Once I empty my cans, I'm going to only use ethanol free in my yard machines of any kind.

@@TheShadeTreeFixitMan it's no doubt that stuff is rough on fuel systems specially in small engines.

AMEN! It seems to have been a success and he expects to be released tomorrow. 6-15

[@moparnut6286]

Took out 10 gallons of fuel out of a boat stored at niegbors house it had 1 gallon of water in it...last time I had to drain his fuel at the dock and it had 10 gallons of water and in 30 gallons of what was susposed to be fuel, I really hate ethanol gas mix it's horrible at water absorption even worse when it's stored on a body of water I will post a video on the 10 gallon drain job.

[@TheShadeTreeFixitMan]

I finally found a place nearby to get ethanol free gas...finally. Thanks When I was fixing lawnmowers out in Minnesota, most of the push mowers problems were water in the gas...ethanol.

I'm hoping I can figure out my Husqvarna. I installed a new carburetor, fuel pump, and fuel filter and she still won't run. It will start and run with starter fluid but not on its own. I can see fuel squirting out of the fuel pump so I know it's getting fuel. Very frustrating.

[@TheShadeTreeFixitMan]

Check the electronic solenoid that screws into the carburetor bowl. It should have power to it when you turn the key on and you should be able to hear it clicking. You may have a bad wire to it. I'm assuming it is new with the new carburetor. Otherwise make sure you don't have water in the fuel. Hope these suggestions will be helpful. Thanks for stopping by.

Lock your brake down and then you don't have to sit on the seat for it to run! I work on mowers for a living as long as the brake is locked down you don't have to be on the seat. Clean the carb she is dirty

On this one, even if the brake is locked down you still have to sit on the seat for it to start. Thanks
