Murray Push Mower with Tecumseh Engine. Can We Make it Run Again?

We have a Murray push mower with a Tecumseh Engine that will not start.
Join me as we figure this one out and see if we can make it run again.

It’s a 89.00 buck mower that ran for 30 years, bought 4 new every year for 18 years of mowing yards Still got all of them and they will still run just don’t need them, so I fix 2/3 every year and sale

I have never cleaned a carburetor before. Thanks for the video.

This helps a lot I've got a 22 inch Murray with an engine on it that is missing a lot of parts now I can tell it's a Tecumseh engine because it looks similar to yours; except it's the 3.8HP

Thank you for watching.

I bought this exact lawn mower 40 years ago and I never had any issue with it I never changed the plug or the air filter I change oil few times and it will start with first pull .I think it will last 20 more years.

[@RaymoreRepair]

With just a little bit of care it probably will. Thank you for watching

This is my type of mower. Simple and lightweight. Probably a 94-97 model. I want to like Honda but most are either too far gone or $700 in my area. These older Murrays are interesting.

[@RaymoreRepair]

They are stone simple and work well.

I literally just had my Murray stop running it was purchased new in 96. I have changed the oil twice and maybe 4 soak plus in that entire life time

I just got a free Murray push mower yesterday I’m actually surprised it turn over with all that water lol 😂 actually the deck in that thing is still decent

[@RaymoreRepair]

I think most of the water was in the muffler. Thanks for watching.

Disconnecting the linkage is a very important part and your hand was hiding it from the camera, that was the only information I needed and never got to see it, same thing when reconnecting them! You have many talents but, teaching is not one of them!

[@RaymoreRepair]

Thank you for your critique. I will try and learn to do better. Thank you for watching.

Just whip out your cell phone camera and take a before picture of the linkage. Just remember - not everything is handed to you on these videos. Well done on that no-longer-made-Tecumseh. I just finished working on one yesterday - a little higher on the food chain with a catcher bag, choke and throttle --- and --- self propelled. 😊

Calm down psycho.

My approach to your Tecumseh find would have been different. BUT I am WELL aware how careless and wasteful lot of people are with their investments.

Thank you for watching.

Bad gasoline man, I recommend the SUNOCO non ethanol pump gas ⛽

[@RaymoreRepair]

Good chance. I fight fuel problems all the time. Thank you for watching.
