[@bohdiconnelly6136]

Afternoon Mick , just overhauled one of these. Made in 1983!! Need to do some further investigation though,it won't crank over unless on choke. Need to look at the valve's and tapets

[@markwiley9516]

[@peterdowden6337]

Great video as usual! I'm after a muffler for a old Honda gv35 engine don't happen to have any spares do you ? Thanks Pete

[@themowerman]

I will have a look mate

[@peterdowden6337]

@@themowerman much appreciated seems very hard to get hold of it's the old gv35 from the 70s

[@petefroud5308]

Good vid again mate . Was half way through when got to nod to chat to a certain small engine channel.

[@ricksmowers5094]

Nice vid Mick hopefully you get her going 👍🏻

[@stephenwilliamson2410]

Another great video Mick 👍🏼

[@999thenewman]

Nice job, Mick. If you had the right flywheel, you could convert it to electronic ignition.

[@TheRepairSpecialist]

Hi Mick. Great vid mate. I have a vid on this topic coming soon. It's not hands on like yours, it's a little more nerdy than yours with it being theory on how the sparking system works. Would you like me to give you a shout out on it and a link to your vid/vids etc? I like the way you present and think my audience would like your vids and channel. Just let me know mate. Speak soon. Craig

[@themowerman]

Yeah mate that would be great.. and many thanks for thinking of me.. I will keep an eye out for your video..

[@TheRepairSpecialist]

@@themowerman awsome 👍👍

[@fixitorstripitGardenmachines]

It will be purring like a kitten soon im sure, nice vid Sir Mick

[@BrucesShop]

What a great old machine. Points. It must be 30 years old. Good trouble shooting.

[@themowerman]

Yeah it's a early one.. thanks mate

[@STTC]

Nice video Mick, get down and dirty.

[@PooleySteen]

Mine is a HRG415PD, if you are familiar. It can't be a bored screw as I clamped off the pipe as an experiment and it still ran fine.

[@seeul8rwaynekerr]

Hi Mick.b what do you use for "Gunk off" is that a deep degreasing spray like brake cleaner?

[@themowerman]

Not as harsh as break cleaner but a good cleaning product

[@garethjudd5840]

Fun fact. This was Honda's first lawnmower they launched.

[@Menditman2014]

When was the HR17 small one, I have one of those.

[@PooleySteen]

How does the breather tube work? It goes from the air filter to a Philips screw whick blocks it off, so why is it even needed?

[@themowerman]

The crankcase pipe goes from the air box into a small hole on the engine on this one

[@Turningwrenches85]

Sounds like the condenser as well prob the original on it,

[@peterreeve8663]

Hi Mick, just wondered why some engines have points and some don’t. Did you look at that kill wire again because you said it looked a bit suspect? Cheers Pete

[@themowerman]

I did have a look at it.. thought I saw a break but it was some dirt..

[@gravelyman]

I think it's condenser failure Mick. I would change the points and condenser like your about to do. Good video my friend 👍

[@Mike-ig2zq]

Just curious Mick can you test those condensers for capacitance ? Microfarads.

[@themowerman]

I believe you can mate but this one was insulated. Just as cheap to get a new one.

[@TheNovaJohn]

I haven't had much luck with these,,,I save a few things,,,most I see here are just too far gone,,cost prohibitive to fix.. Usually the wheels are shot, cables going, engine nocks....Sad,,, was a great machine in its day,, good luck!!

[@TheNovaJohn]

BTW,, remove the condenser, clean and file the points, take off the coil, clean the mounts with a wire brush so grounding isn't an issue, run the engine,, if the coil is going you will know,,,, especially if it reads around 6k ohms. Condensers aren't required, they will short out to some degree,, what they do is help the points out from burning to quick. If your replacing that and just wanna test, this is fine.

[@johndavin1777]

have you disconnected the kill switch just to rule it out

[@themowerman]

Yeah I did that bud

[@TheRustyRooster]

Yeah buddy points and condenser hopefully will get ya going. Isn't it a bear to try and prop a meter up for the camera?

[@themowerman]

Lol yeah

[@len4338]

Wow !! Points and condenser!! Thqt must be an older machine, huh Mick ??? Or do they still use those on that side of the pond ? Great video Mick

[@themowerman]

Yeah it's an old girl mate..

[@fractalofgod6324]

I've just scored one of these machines for free but the rear wheels are off and one of the splined drive cogs are missing, any body know where I could get some replacements?

[@fractalofgod6324]

Any ideas mick lad?

[@richardandrews1284]

Coil tests OK, so 90% chance it's the condenser.

[@topconker2909]

Sound diagnostics mate

[@henrymurawskibigdogrepair]

Mick you bin watching me cleaning points with finger nail files I see you us the same

[@themowerman]

Lol yeah but don't tell Mrs p.. she has been looking for them for weeks lol

[@BensWorkshop]

Shame about the price of the points and condenser.
