Your a legend, I would have thrown this mower out if I hadnt come across your channel.

[@themowerman]

Thanks very much... I appreciate you taking the time to watch

[@CraigoryAbbit]

Thanks 🤙🏽 ... This got my lawn mower running 💨 ...

[@wesleypulkka7447]

Mick, from age 12 on I worked summers cutting lawns and working at the local hardware store year around part time. What I learned about mowers by using them I applied at the Hardware store to repair other folks machines. That skill carried me through High school and undergraduate studies. When I hit masters level I was too busy to hold the fort on weekends but during a stint at university I worked a summer in a mower shop. The kind of tips you give people could lead to solid job opportunities. It put me through several levels of education. Thanks for what you do it could be a great value to young people who have a touch of ambition! At 82 I'm semi retired from a relatively academic career but I'm still sensitive to a properly tuned engine no matter what its purpose may be! CHEERS!

[@themowerman]

Wow thanks for the comment mate I appreciate it.. it's always nice to get a productive comment.. have a good day mate

[@kevinhendon]

WoW..........after having so much hassle with my mounfield SR100 engine and replacing the Coil, Plug (thanks for the info), Filter, Bulb, Fuel pipe, Carb fully cleaned out, I would never have guessed that problem and the solution, been at it all day and now at 22.30hrs it's too bl""dy late to go and try it 😂. Hurry up Morning, Cheers Mick.......this could be the solution 👍

[@themowerman]

Let me know mate

[@jonnystewart8090]

A great man around a mower! sometimes it’s the simplest thing causing the problem

[@themowerman]

Yes it is... And can easily be fixed at home

[@bobbydaviesdavies6975]

Great stuff mick been watching the past hour mate got problem with mine at the moment starts up then dies

[@themowerman]

Carb.... Good luck..

[@Hairball_Manor]

2 years ago I picked up a Honda powered Husqvarna self propelled mower that had this problem for $10 (US) . Took me about 2 hours to find the problem you just fixed. I put a shim onto the V clip to fix it. Keep up the good work over there. Really enjoy your videos. No nonsense - just the facts and how to. Thankx

[@themowerman]

No worries.. ta for the nice comments it's appreciated

[@user-sf7kl9uh7k]

Yeah, this video is very useful, a great lesson in diagnostics.

This was a satisfying turnaround. Great job, Mick.

Hi Mick. Sometimes not hearing a little noise, gives you an idea of the problem. Very rarely have I had a a defective micro switch. 😁

[@Herbybandit]

That seems to be a common Honda problem, good old Briggs had the simple make n brake type but even they had their little quirks! You keep saying listen for the click reminded me of that advert from the '70s to remind you to wear your seat belt! "Klunk Click every trip"😂

[@themowerman]

Lol I remember the advert.. click click

[@JimF500]

My lawn went mad from last year because of the growth and the weather was pants and I couldn't cut it until last month 😔. To say it was dam hard work is an understatement. I MAY have over cooked the blade clutch on the Honda mower and she was hunting as well. Anyway I stripped the carb down and cleaned it all including the jets, including the plastic idle/pilot which all came out absolutely fine. Put it all back and she ran fine..... for a few minutes.... and she started hunting again 😔. I will probably have to remove the idle jet AGAIN . I will try to remove it with out taking off the carb. Good tip on the cable/micro.

[@themowerman]

Have a look at the tank.. where the fuel lines comes out of it you will find a small filter inside the fuel hose.. give that a clean too

[@JimF500]

@@themowerman Thanks I will have a look. It's a model going back to 1997😲, it was in a shed for I don't know how long and I managed to get it going a few years back. It's been great, worked every time I needed it despite never changing the plug....it worked. Two speed drive still works,needs exhaust, sheared bolts. "Floredge" or something is the model? Sorry rambling!!.

Hey, thanks!

I can’t say I’m a big fan of the GC & GCV engines with that cam belt, but they do run well and seem to hold up. Good to see you Mick, cheers my friend.

Honda will no longer be making Honda branded mowers .

[@chatrkat]

@@dfields9511 yes unfortunately I know. I’m confident my older Honda mowers and snowblowers will outlast me. Not sure I’d make that claim about the more recent models.

Good job mate - Ive also got a 2021 model honda gcv170 rotary 19 inch for the messy jobs prior to finishing off with a 20” Masport cylinder mover……and after a decent winter storage the wax filled capsule on the Honda carby that operates the automatic choke can go bad……… and shes also a no start……..! good to have a spare in the shed for the want of 20 bucks….. all the best from melbourne australia….!!

Mick , I've a snapper self drive mower . Starts and runs fine until I try to cut grass. Boggs down and almost stops the engine . All is cleaned below deck and sharp . New plug /filters and oil . Any idea what is the issue?

[@edwardbroomhead4463]

Mick any tips please… got a Suffolk punch 17sk not responding to throttle and running flat out. Cheers

[@themowerman]

Carb mate .. definitely.. get it off and give it a good clean.. I have some videos on it

[@paulstaniford8622]

Can I ask your thoughts on under deck refurbishment? Have a 3yr old red Cobra 80v mower with steel roller. Steel deck. Have spent the day giving it a really good clean removing some parts. New blade arrived so we should be ready for the new season. The top is still perfect. Underside I’ve noticed the red paint has come away in places and spots of rust developing. Do you wire brush/wet/dry the underside then primer/red topcoat ? Would red hammerite smooth in a spray can be good ? Or would you recommend something else? It’s only 3yrs old but clearly the underside has been put away wet at times? Chap in the local lawnmower shop also said something about coating the underside with some ceramic coating to stop the grass/wet sticking during mowering ? Is this really needed ? Thanks.

[@themowerman]

Use a rust off product and cover it with red hammerrite .. that will do the job.

Weak coil maybe or fuel issue

Hi Mick, very good tip. If you had yo choose between a Honda izy hrg 416 or a Masport 200st l what would you recommend?

Thanks Mick, I've been doing a lot of research online and you seem to be the man to ask. I very much appreciate your help.
