Lawn Mower starts and then dies, turned out to be an easy cheap fix -Loctite!

Mower starts and then dies. A loose mounting plate for the carb is the culprit. Loctite was the solution in this case.

I've driven myself crazy for most of the evening trying to figure out what's wrong with mine. . . and combined with little to no knowledge of small engines, it's been a lot of teaching myself what different parts are and do while also trying to troubleshoot. Your video not only was the solution for my problem, you explained it clearly and simply and definitely gave me the the confidence to DIY the job myself. Thank you!

[@HomeGaragechannel]

[@orustacres]

Thorough presentation. Thanks. Saw a thing I missed in going through my mower an hour ago. Back to the garage to disassemble again and go through the carb more thoroughly. Btw...I only use premium fuel, 93 octane in all gas engines here, as recommended by my repair shop...since using it, for over 10 years, my former bi-annual trips to the repair shop have stopped! I don't run engines dry or drain the fuel in the Autumn, typically October. My engines start up fine each year in April.

[@HomeGaragechannel]

very nice and thank you for sharing your experience

[@philherrick7319]

High octane fuel is not really needed What you need is fuel with NO ETHANOL

[@einfussganger]

1:51 One tip: before pulling out the filler tube, check the base for built up crud that accumulates around the tube from spilled oil mixed with lawn clippings and dust. It's very easy for that crud to fall straight into the oil pan when you lift up the tube. Nice video and thanks for posting.

Thanks for sharing. I have the exact same mower. I found it on the trash a few years ago & the only thing wrong with it was the shut-off switch. I fixed it with a wire tie. This mower is a beast & can cut down 6 inch tall grass no problem. I just recently found another similar Craftsman mower on the trash with a 6.75 HP BS. It also has a shut-off switch problem & the right front drive wheel was stripped. I ordered a new wheel for 21.00 & now I got a great mower. I can't believe what some ppl throw away.

Eric Stewart wow great trick. I'll have to give that a try.

[@paulk5311]

there could be a number of different issues that cause this problem. a video like this is only good for a select few who have the same problem. for once i would like to see a video that covers the gamut of issues but we'll never get that as they are as diverse as the problem. other noted causes are trash in the carb. bad fuel. a clogged vent of the gas cap. a dirty carburetor. even a bad safety switch (on riding mowers) can sometimes produce such a problem as well as other things that could be the culprit.

Hey nice video! I just overhauled my carb and it runs great as long as I pump the prime bubble. it seems it doesn’t get enough gas any suggestions how to fix that??

[@HomeGaragechannel]

Did you replace the seat needle? If so did you notice the position of the float? Was it level when turned upside down? If not then there may not be enough gas getting in the carb bowl and only running on the gas your priming into the carb. Thanks for the comment.

[@shwom5175]

LocTite is 'thread-locker' liquid in a small tube colors match whether it is regular or stronger formula. Available at a Wal-Mart or similar hardware or Lowe's type store and it keeps a bolt from vibrating loose, generally.

Agreed. This may "look" easy. But most people don't even realize that these items being "unscrewed" are not "bolts" or "screws." It looks like they are those "torque" things that are on the backs of dryers and washers. The repairman use those things just to make it so "normal" people can't fix the things with their traditional tools such as a flat screwdriver.

Same here!!! I've been through 2 in 2 years and I'm getting ready to buy a third it looks like. This is after oil checks, fuel stabilizer, cleaning each time, etc... I've heard the term "planned obsolescence" for appliances but I guess the same is true for lawn mowers.
