I did EXACTLY what you SHOULDN'T do

Repairing a lawn mower that I bought new in 2016 but I made the big mistake of leaving it outside. Let's fix it!

[@metallicaman0258]

It never ceases to amaze me that the Brits and Americans have different pronunciations and spellings for that fuel metering device. Keep up the content brother

[@user-ej3zu7ir6f]

Yet it's spelled the same way 😂😂😂

[@StudSupreme]

It's a cute little mower. Looks nice and light, easy to maneuver. Glad you brought her back up to snuff. 😊

[@DL541]

Don't let comments get you down-your repair videos are awesome.

[@michaelskinner896]

Nice change of pace compared to your usual resto videos. I was surprised to see how worn those tires were.

[@redsable6119]

We call them Stamp mowers, for when your lawn is the size of a postage stamp...

[@robertmailhos8159]

You got that right young man 👍😎 to never leave a mower outside in the elements because of the price for a new one today is out rageous

[@LawnMowersThingsThatMakeNoise]

The problem with the 450E carb is that the jet has been made VERY small to meet emission requirements. drilling the jet to the next possible size up is often the solution (next size up from the jets original size.

[@NowInAus]

I’ve never seen a plastic carb. Interesting to explore it with you. Thanks for another satisfying episode in your mower saga. Would love to see a sickle bar mower or tiller some time ❤

[@volvogt21]

I pilled one of those apart recently. I was surprised and impressed at how easy they pull apart and reassemble. Made me wonder why repair shops charge so much to work on them.

[@TheCreat]

See the difference is, when others leave their mower outside, it's just neglect. For you, it's future content! All joking aside, even such a small machine is still a machine that got retored, as it should. That's the part most people don't do and just throw them away, so well done!

Excellent job bringing that mower back to a useful life. It may be only a humble push mower, but it is perfect for someone's smaller yard. The video shows it cuts very well. Also, for those who dislike and deplore plastic carburetors, you have demonstrated how eminently rebuildable they are. This is an education for me. Thumbs up from USA.

[@paulburns3788]

Hello you should clean the bottom of the mower and spray some wd-40 on the bottom it keeps the grass from sticking and I hope you get the mower running. 😊

[@jamesfield5346]

It's amazing how maintenance friendly they've made carburetors

[@user-jx5sj8qi7v]

Like you videos and restorations. Keep ‘‘em coming. Cheers.😀

[@derpydog1008]

Those plastic carbs are awesome i fixed a push mower for a friend a while back and that was my first encounter and i had that thing running in no time.

[@tinkeringtaylor3053]

Good for another 7 years well done 👍👍

[@johnmcenaney1814]

Great video, and looking forward to your upcoming projects.

[@garyalensr]

I'm pretty sure all those types of engines with that carb set ups surge. I'm absolutely positive you know you have to in large the jet slightly. I had to do that to several mower that I've fixed for people. It blows my mind that this problem exists on these engines

[@jameslane7922]

My understanding is that (at least in the US) the carb jets are manufactured narrower to help meet fuel emission and consumption standards. The narrower jets are more easily blocked, particularly with ethanol added gas, causing fuel starvation and thus surging. I've also found that these plastic carbs start to deform in high temperatures (such as those found in the southern US) causing the same kind of issues.

[@Herbybandit]

Yeah your right, the 450 series with that style carb needs the main jet opening up just a hair, apparently the new replacement jet cartridges are slightly better.

[@mjg263]

Nicely done! Usually when I take one of these apart for service I remove the starter housing first, then the tank and carb can be removed as a unit and separated on the bench for cleaning / flushing. I like these newer Briggs engines, very service friendly and no corrosion from bad fuel.

[@davidfist7801]

Works fine. Looks like it does a really good job mowing, but you're right, it's tiny!

[@weathermannax416]

Thank You! I have a slightly newer model (DOM 4/2017) of that B&S engine. Mine is a new old stock - bought it on eBay for $100 and have it mounted to an older MTD mulching push mower deck. So far it has 29.5 hours on it. All of my equipment has a self-powered hour meter (if it doesn't already have one). I have my parent's Murray 22-inch side discharge mower they bought brand new in 1986 powered by a B&S 3.5 HP quantum flat head engine. Still running strong and that engine has over 500 hours on it. They always had it stored indoors. As of 8/2006 I bought a Yardman 21iinch self-propelled mulching mower powered by a 6.5 HP B&S Intek overhead valve engine and that as of this last Saturday is up to 302.47 hours of runtime. The gas tank spung a leak at 165 hours, so I replaced that for one with a larger capacity. I had to replace the catalytic muffler at 243 hours to a standard muffler, then the electronic ignition coil gave out at 287 hours. So... around the 200-hour period I had to replace some things. It runs better than new! No, you cannot have too many machines to "Play" around with.

[@NathanielKempson]

man. can you fix my old mower XD that thing is tricksy i love these sort of fixing videos. no fancy machines just a spanner and some time

[@HippityHype]

Do you have a few usable mowers on hand? Or was that one just forgotten about. Plus, MATE! Those half turns with the mower at the end were spectacular, shows you definitely back that experience.

[@glentucker4250]

Always looking forward to a new video. Thank you!

Those briggs and stratton engines never miss a beat

[@ShogunMura]

Sweet little mower!

[@Loger01]

My dad had an old Briggs mower with a plastic shield. Was never really serviced as far as I’m aware, was left over winter in a shed always. Used all summer for well over 10 years. Wish I’d kept it.

[@warrenvalentino5763]

Great video. love watching your videos. i do not have a building/shed to put my push and ride on mower in. so i put a heavy duty trash bag over the motors After the engine is cold after i use them. i do drain the gas out of them in late fall, including draining the gas out of the carbs. this seems to work for me.

[@trevorpearson1832]

[@MaximusGaming]

Another great video 👍

[@ceejay6882]

We have these in Australia badged by Victa (blue deck, grey handle). Those little 16 inchers are a good second mower option for really awkward terrain. A steep grass hill that slopes to a concrete gutter is very sketchy unless the mower is light and nimble like these ones.

[@felinespirits]

So true. I actually have a 13 incher that I use basically as a bagging weed wacker. Not just steep banks (have a few of those), but tight spots where the bigger mower won't fit. Bought it on a whim and can't believe how I lived without it, lol

[@AndrewHCann]

Excellent video :) also great shape for 2016 year Lawn Mower push type not sure Cobra version who makes them and hp is but does super well job for sure! But great video on tune up too !

[@TruckinDavo]

Naughty Naughty Daggerwin lol.. least it wasn't to bad

[@Herbybandit]

Your very right about carb spray being bad for you, it draws the oils from your skin which then dies, i managed to get it all over my fingers a few times and every time the skin at the sides of my finger nails went hard and peeled.

[@Mrawesome7123]

nice little mower, we have one thats smaller (which yes, is possible...) which i may have accidentally left outside all winter, we live in quite a snowy bit of america, so it was under about a 6 and a half foot (2 meters or smth like that) snow drift... though we dug it out in early spring, replaced the oil, replaced the fuel, and vroom, runs fine now, was a bit smokey at first and a bit down on power for the first mow, but after that, it was fine

[@vinceianni4026]

Hello mister good job

[@peters2620]

Any chance you can do a Saxon Baroness 180? So few videos of fixing these great mowers around - would really help the community!

[@coreoncrack]

Omg dont let virtual daggerwin near that, it is a dangerous machine! He might hit Doggowin

[@ashajplantsupport3124]

Love your videos can we see some more of ypur compact tractors working please

[@garyclifton2180]

Nice video

[@99Getrdone]

It's a nice looking mower mines so old the paint is flaking off after I wash the deck underneath

[@HendrikOutdoor]

I bought a house which has a Honda mower that's been left outside, to the point of where the housing is rusted. I wonder if I'll ever get that mower to run again. 😅

[@small-engine-repair]

This is a useful video if someone dose not know what they are doing

[@RoosterOutdoorsGames]

Great video Dag, I have a couple questions though. Do you still have the B2100? Do you keep all of your restorations? If so I think that would be a cool video idea, show all of the tractors and stuff you still have and how they have been holding up. Anyhow keep them coming I love this channel of yours

[@g576758]

Those carbs are the worst to clean I have used a torch cleaning tip set it's got various sizes of round files in it good luck 😊

[@johanstahl5555]

How often do you come over a new mower? I can see how much as you can prodjuce Im not good to write in english Im living in the south of Sweden our little village is called Sonnarp and this is my paradise on this planet I love to work at home in my garage and repair mowers, tractors and orher machines. I have two old Belos ILO222 and 275K. Two Stiga Villa from the 1980’s with very rusty rotorboards I cant find a better youtube Canal and producer like your!👍🏻 Best regards/Johan Ståhl

[@samuelthorogood3878]

we have one of those, but i don't think it has the briggs engine. Absolute pain to get started cold without easy start. the carbs don't like having fuel sat in them over winter either. they're not bad for the price though.

[@eddiepatterson5025]

I wouldn’t worry about people commenting about the oil level I thought it was just fine that it was slightly higher level because after so many uses it would consume a little over time sometimes.

[@SantaClaw]

I find it fascinating how bad small engine stuff seems to get in the UK/US vs where I live, in Northern Norway

[@garymucher4082]

Seems everything now is made out of plastic. I wonder when the entire mower will be some form of plastic, even the casing and pistons. I am sure those parts are being investigated to see what type plastic can withstand the combustion and heat... Who knows... Thumbs Up!

[@whiterabbit714]

12:36pm just wondering why he didn’t check spark plug did he put a new one in?? Also was wondering why didn’t he check compression also never seen a plastic carburetor before? Also noticed it’s not self propelled good video though 👍

[@felinespirits]

No need to check compression. This is HIS mower, so its not an unknown, he has the history.

[@wickedxe]

These are the late engines that ruined B&S reputation. Anything post 2005 stratton is not known to be reliable. You need to get a Honda HRU194 and restore it; best quality mowers ever made and 40 years old! I very recently had a walk behind Honda HRU195 with over 10,000 hours on it, worked perfectly except for the rubber valve stem seals that needed replacing

[@tiredagain6722]

I'm sure that green is an OK color for fuel 😂

[@Acegaming49]

Where does he get these mowers from?

Love it! But you might wanna upgrade it for a bit wider of a mower for no man’s land …

You should make some kind of uber-mower from two other mowers.

I'm not gonna pick on you or beat you up. Just giving some facts. That STP is garbage. It doesn't burn like gas. Berryman's Carburetor and Injector cleaner does. You can use it to back a car up on the lift to change a bad fuel pump. I'll watch anything you post but there's a bunch on this very subject with a bunch of garbage mixed in. Very well made video.
