Lawnmower Will Not Start On Choke This Is Why!!

[@themowerman]

Here is my channel wish list if you would like to show some support in purchasing some tools or spare parts, it is gratefully appreciated www.amazon.co.uk/hz/wishlist/ls/13BO7QKGAZZV2/ref=nav_wishlist_lists_2?_encoding=UTF8&type=wishlist

[@paulstir]

Mick it’s amazing that an old lawnmower of that age will still run 💪.

[@paulstir]

Feel bad about nothing bud you put time into it and new pull cord etc ,👍

[@haneyoakie14]

The 30 year old mowers have 30 years left in them. The 3 year old mowers have at most 2 more years left. The cost accountants run things now, not the engineering department

[@alandykes2519]

Nice easy fix Mick it will make someone a nice mower 👍👍👍👍

[@themowerman]

Yeah mate

[@Turningwrenches85]

What a save. Glad it was used again especially the gearbox and all works on it

[@dartvader9939]

Wouldn't feel guilty about that.your time and knowledge is worth more than the mower👍

[@themowerman]

Thanks bud..

[@waynestefinashen239]

Sometimes you luck out Mick could have easily been a parts mower. Gave a guy $10 Cdn credit on self propelled mower sale, his mower basically was completely disassembled and he said he did not know how to put it back together and thought everything was there. Took some time and a few missing bolts replaced, a total fuel system flush and carb clean plus all your basic tune up stuff. Turns out it is a commercial 8.75 self propelled Snapper which is now the personal mower of Eliminator Performance. Runs like a charm and can slow the speed right down to a slow walk for the OLD MAN just too old to trot! Keep er going Mate.

[@themowerman]

Ta for watching mate.. stickers are here.. video out soon..

[@waynestefinashen239]

Thanks Mick cannot believe they arrived that quickly, better delivery than some of our parts suppliers which will remain unnamed.

[@haneyoakie14]

Tool drawers look great. You are making me have do do something about mine. Lol.

[@themowerman]

Lol get it done mate

[@edwardburke9181]

Super easy fix,Mick

[@bradleyhatchen]

Great work bench just what you need in there right places

[@bobbelsekwol]

Brilliant my man. Such an easy fix but only if you know what your doing. And now, we all do. Thanks.

[@themowerman]

Yeah an easy fix.. and another one saved

[@stevoj8959]

Always great when you can save a machine. Not many around with the manual choke but as you have done, when set up right they always work. Good save. Stevo

[@jimbohnenkamp5082]

There are a few American riding mower models, my Craftsman among them, which have this problem, too. My brand new model's linkage started slipping soon after I bought it. A warranty repairman fixed it, and it again started slipping. After some frustration, I found the solution online and fixed it myself. It hasn't slipped at all since I fixed it, and I'm not that experienced in that kind of problem.

[@themowerman]

Good on ya mate..

[@markwiley9516]

Nice work mick good money all day long 👍

[@brantsmallenginerepairs]

Great job troubleshooting and showing the viewers how quick and easy some fixes are. Keep up the good work. Cheers

Great job Mick another one saved 👍🏻

[@dirtfootracing8788]

Sometimes its the simplest fixes

[@lukes3033]

Great video, just bought one of these mowers and had exactly this problem with the choke. A little bend of the metal arm and it chokes every time 👌

[@themowerman]

Great Luke.. happy mowing

[@topconker2909]

Hi Mick as always, well thought out fault diagnosis and fix

[@themowerman]

Thanks hunny

[@JOEZEP54]

Just like us as we age a little tweaking & care keeps us going LOL. Stay well, Joe Z

[@petefroud5308]

Neat fix mate. We love a Hayter.👍👍👍

[@themowerman]

Oh yes we do

[@kenbehl2659]

Great video and really good info. I have one that has me stumped. Its a Tori with a auto choke flat head Briggs. It is really hard to start but runs smoothly when you do get it started. I have checked and the auto choke is working properly.

[@TheCountryCottageGardener]

Nice easy fix. Definitely wouldn't feel guilty pal that's business 👍👍

[@rhodonbrown81698]

Nice box’s

[@mr1pearl]

Got one last year just like it , runs good for an old machine just needs a new deck !

[@themowerman]

Hard to find now

[@seenithere]

Are any of your pals able to do aluminum TIG welding to repair that small oops in the front of the deck?

[@bradleyhatchen]

The owner should be happy

[@tinkeringtaylor3053]

really good video Mick what size pull cord is best for lawnmowers

[@themowerman]

I find 3.5mm mate

[@gc5384]

Nice one mick great videos I’d love to get into the same sort of thing do you mind if I ask your advice now and then and any tipsyou not sold the old box yet ?

[@themowerman]

No mate please ask away

[@gc5384]

Many thanks Mick that’s much appreciated

[@gravelyman]

Don't feel bad it happens to me sometimes. How are we supposed to know a mower that old would run so good until we tinker with it. Good video!!!

[@themowerman]

Ta mate

[@joeortiz3455]

Hello mick i also have just taken one scrap tecumseh and one scrap briggs to eunn very condition !ahh the simple things!

[@themowerman]

Lol joe

[@russellpetrie119]

them briggs were notouriuos for that choke issue on them hayter 48s we had the same problem and with such a short pull start on it i think it were not able to fit to much cord on the starter assy

[@themowerman]

Yeah it is a problem with these old ones

[@Flumpsarus]

Great video mate, sorry ain’t been in touch of late. Been places! Hope all is well mate. Looking forward to more vids 👍🏻

[@themowerman]

No problems me old mucker.. I understand.. good to see your still watching

[@Flumpsarus]

[@just4clocks]

[@russellpetrie119]

i see someones replaced the assy starter usaul part on them that fell offf em being pull started to death

[@themowerman]

Yeah

[@davidward8682]

Hi Mick i have the same carb set up on my Briggs engine. Do have any idea how to reset the The Top Speed screw. It says in the manual factory set do not adjust but i have tampered.

[@themowerman]

I tune by ear so just have a play and when it's running right you know it's right for you

[@BensWorkshop]

Nice work. I wonder if that tab got bent a little through lots of use. Are you tempted to give it the full treatment now?

[@themowerman]

It had a full service and is not cutting grass for someone else.. ta for watching mate

[@BensWorkshop]

@@themowerman I presume that was meant to be a now not a not.... Cool.

[@themowerman]

its worth giving a squirt of lube down the fleximission throttle cable they cget a bit cacty when dry

[@themowerman]

Yes mate

[@gc5384]

Did u get the electric start to work

[@themowerman]

Yes mate

[@russellpetrie119]

i think it were one of the first quantum briggs that came out in the 80s ea

[@themowerman]

I believe there was on before the this one..

[@KensSmallEngineRepair]

Good repair, Next!!!!

[@HomeGaragechannel]

do you only use red pull chord?

[@themowerman]

No I ran out of my normal one so had to use this cheap stuff.. I now have my normal pullcord back in stock

[@grahamgeorge1130]

@@themowerman cheers mater

[@haneyoakie14]

£70? Or $100 US? I would ask $125 with the expectation of $100 here in Michigan. Pluses - electric start, grass box, self propelled, and recent service/ every thing works as it should. Minuses - older, dinged up, bad paint. Your thoughts?

[@themowerman]

Re paint the deck.. before you sell it on..

[@999thenewman]

This turned out well for an old mower.

[@gc5384]

If your feeling really guilty mick offer the guy a free service next year mate everyone be happy

[@themowerman]

Yeah that's a good idea

[@gc5384]

Would you do a deal for someone if they bought a few bits from u mate

[@themowerman]

Not really.. I don't sell them for a lot of money

[@gc5384]

I didn’t know u sold them fairly cheap mate at least it gives u an extra bit of cash for the family and to buy tools and a few beers . Was just an idea though someone might buy some for resale ..

[@peterreeve8663]

I’ve got a Mountfield with a similar engine. I tried moving the cable but to no avail. Ive just pushed the slide the last 5mm by hand for the last 17 years. Might try that little trick. My electric start will turn the engine but not start it. It will start by hand easily.

[@themowerman]

Let me know how it goes

[@peterreeve8663]

@@themowerman slightly different than the Hayter. Got it going with a clean and some 3in1. Now chokes like a good un. Been like that since I inherited it when my Dad died in 2003. Ta Mick.

[@jeffcartwright7270]

Hi Mick - Great video once again !. Just a small point, that choke cable had been incorrectly routed across the top of the exhaust silencer, until you re-routed it over the top at 7mins 40 secs !. The heat would do that cable no good at all. Cheers Mick - Love the content.

[@themowerman]

Yeah and I think it's not the right cable.. it's very short.. but will do the job..

Never feel bad if he gave it up the lawn mower at least you have something to work on the owner will probably buy a new one

[@bumpkinrocks]

Those old Briggs quatumns are bullet proof engines, unfortunately the same can't be said for the Chinese junk Briggs make now😂👍

[@themowerman]

Yeah I agree
