It Was left In Our Drive - What's Wrong With It?

This Qualcast Classic 35 lawnmower was left in our drive by a neighbour.
Apparently, the pull cord wasn't working so we decided to have a look to see what the problem was. Let's find out how we fixed it.

I like stripes on peoples law. It shows they care about the grass that looks well lovely with the stripes 10 out of 10.

[@LimerickJack]

That Raleigh BMX is worth a few bob cleaned up

[@clearprop]

[@retrorestore]

Many thanks!

[@user-fj5jp8zu8f]

Great video love watching u tinkering😂

[@janetroberts2262]

Wish we had you and Gary to service our petrol mowers. We have found that using a purpose made fuel for our mowers rather than a mix has made them work much better as they don’t get the crap in the bottom of the engine that a mix gives and we have sourced a pipe from the manufacturer when we had a leaking pipe. ❤❤

[@vijayantgovender2045]

Great job enjoy watching your repair videos watching from South Africa

[@rosie4runner965]

Are you new bulbs creating a flicker on the video?

[@retrorestore]

No they are not.

Why have you got a Yamaha RD and a Raleigh Burner rotting away in that polytunnel?
