Nightmare Hayter Spirit 41 Lawnmower Repair

[@MadissonStudios]

8:25 - This is exactly what I was wondering too... I was so close to drilling in some new holes but held off long enough to find your video 👌👍

[@retrorestore]

Yes, the seal is often overlooked by many. Nice repair.

[@PeterAndersons]

Haha, I keep seeing you all over the place Martin. A good channel recommendation, so I subscribed. You've mentioned that seal as well. I was just given a 190cc 625 Briggs powered mower - loads of power, but may be toast; knocks and smoke. I haven't pulled it down yet, but not sure it will be worth repairing. Anyway, cheers to you and the Mower Man

[@retrorestore]

Nice one Pete. Cheers bud

[@brianpercival1829]

You have an old one some where, maybe in the poly tunnel. It's the first time I saw a mower with a roller.

[@retrorestore]

Yes Its in there Bri. One day maybe lol

[@darrenupton5500]

all my mowers run on a two stroke mix no problem. i once had a new mower given to me as it wouldnt run and i just changed the plug and happy days. great vid pal

[@gwpteam7312]

My Hayter Harrier 41 Autodrive Rear Roller Petrol Lawnmower is in need of a service. The jockey arm assembly doesn’t want to return fully and the brake cable is loose. So the mover won’t stop driving forward. A simple wd40 spay application to the jockey pivot arm doesn’t yield great results. It still won’t engage the brake/no drive. think I may need new belts. Have you seen similar issues in your past or know any decent links to fixing and how do disassemble the unit to fix the jockey arm. The mover is a few years old now and tired but runs well just needs some attention. Thanks for your help.

Good video! This is one of those that crop up sometimes where you struggle to make profit because of all the tests/stripping down etc. Briggs and Stratton do publish a recommended sequence of inspections on engines to ensure the most efficient fault finding.

Aup mate iv got same mower..how do you change bushing on lower handles

[@stevieharrison3314]

Thanks for this video. I have this mower and it has recently started to cut out after about 10 mins of use. Not sure yet what is wrong but think it might be the seals you changed on the carburettor

[@MowerMan]

it will be

[@batanguenosauk9421]

How to change broken roller bracket both sides 🙏🙏🙏

[@robrusticwoodlandproducts6662]

You got there in the end. Liking your new style filming. Cheers. Rob.

[@jimallan9631]

had the blade off paul just couldnt move the friction plate

[@zarrow50]

My Spirit blade boss broke and I got hold of a second hand one along with the small key thing, but could not work out how to get it back on. It is now jammed on the crank shaft.

[@sandydogy]

I have a 3.5 Briggs and Stratton, changed the diaphragm and gasket set, changed the governor springs and it still surges like an air leak, any ideas please? Thanks Ian

[@rickharrison6416]

Hiya mate i have an hayter spitit 41 push mower..how do you replace the primer bulb

[@johnwillmore9315]

I've really enjoyed your videos, they've really inspired me. I've got an old Hayter and I can't find the engine number - there's no stamp anywhere . The carb and bowl were completely rusted. I've cleaned it as best I can but it's not great and the float keeps sticking. FPHA20 dellorto and no 96 is marked on the carburretor but that's not helping me to buy a replacement and the fuel isn't getting to the carburretor. I have cleaned all the jets. Is there a carburretor I can buy from you that will fit. The only marking on the mower says Easy Start Mower. It's a push mower with a roller. Many thanks JW

[@MowerMan]

John Willmore I cant help with the carb unfortunately. Hopefully someone will leave you a comment on here soon!

[@johnwillmore9315]

O.K Thanks for your reply. Is there any way I could refurbish this carburettor.?

[@johnwillmore9315]

O.K Thanks for your reply. Is there any way I could refurbish this carburettor.?

[@johnwillmore9315]

Hiya , I tried asking you about a carburettor for a Hayter which unfortunately you could not help me. However I have just watched your video for the Techusmeh engine and carb service. The one which you said was a pig. My engine is almost certainly that one . Could you advise me what carb was on the Techusmeh . Mine as I said was a Dellorto Fhpa20. Thanks for another great video. Any advice much appreciated. Cheers John W.

[@rickydowning2194]

My old man has one of these and it’s “wonky” when it’s on a flat tarmac surface the mower rocks from the rear left hand side to the front right hand side. Any ideas on what’s happened? And cost of fixing

[@Thargoyd]

Hi - great video thanks but I still have a problem with my Hayter Spirit 4 617E. Until last season it was running fine. This year however, when starting it the engine over revs to what sounds like max so I stopped the machine immediately. I have checked the spark plug(Not gapped but looks fine) Fuel is normal unleaded, oil looks fine - mid brown colour no sign of swarf or contamination - feels smooth. Air filter was slightly soiled so gave it a cursory clean. However, the problem still exists - engine starts wildly revving. There is a small spring on a lever behind the fuel primer, which is not connected to any of the 3 holes on a corresponding flange. Connecting to any of those made no difference. Any clues please? P.S. I used work in car maintenance many (40) years' ago so I know my way around engines (So I thought!) but I can't fathom this one out. Many thanks in advance Graham, Epsom

[@MowerMan]

does this video help? kzbin.info/www/bejne/hHWwg2Bjjc12bsk

[@apocalypsenow321..]

Thank you for video

[@malkitr]

Great Videos very helpful and straight to the point, where are you based may be easier to get you to fix mine

[@malkitr]

So I am trying to fix it myself, i have ordered a spark plug to start of and see if it works will keep you updated

[@leighallen9173]

Hello there. I have just purchased a second hand Hayter 41 Spirit and the height mechanism has come apart infer the machine, so the front wheels have disconnected from the back mechanism. Each time we reconnect it the metal piece falls off the metal dowlin it sits on. Have you any experience of this please?

[@MowerMan]

Yes, absolutely I had the same thing once but was unable to fix unfortunately

[@digmastersi8026]

I used a jubilee clip on it and it’s been ok for 3years now

[@Jim-ie6uf]

You referred to a mix. Is this a 2 cycle, or is the customer nuts? Plug was way fouled. Seems it’s a straight gas mower from here. Good catch on the intake o ring.

[@MowerMan]

jim s It runs on unleaded petrol no need for mixing. The customer thought it was 2 stroke

[@GregsMowing]

The friction disc is something unique to Hayter. Don’t think the adaptor on a regular mower has a crank protection. Try and do work on the current Hayter pros. Great money in them if you buy them cheap. I have a video on how to fix the drive on an old 56 if you need any help 👍🏻

[@MowerMan]

Gregs Mowing Thanks I'll take a look at it cheers

[@alan4391]

i have also had outer things happen to these engines the the tube on where the carburettor connects to the inlet to the engine has had a hairline crack in it that can all so result in bad running

[@leightongray1000]

Thorough job on RCA :)

[@alanlake5220]

Still not running right, miss fireing

[@darrenfrost5775]

i was just going to comment the same thing , still not running right ,

[@ronmccullock1407]

Fantastic

[@MowerMan]

Thanks Ron

[@steventhompson9009]

Top job

[@MowerMan]

Thanks

[@zarrow50]

what spark plug does this mower need?

[@MowerMan]

Clive Ellis ngk br2lm

[@adamgc73]

The back end of that mower just looks wrong lol ...and the name of it hayter? What were they thinking.. Hope you made some good money off it

[@GregsMowing]

adamgc73 called Hayter after the man that created the brand just after the war. Douglas Hayter. First petrol rotary mower which is now a household name in England. It’s also owned by Toro. A global company.

[@thomaswhatling6709]

i got a mower with a pressure plate like this one cannot remove it at all. Bent the tool you are supposed to use. nightmare

[@nickwalton8864]

Hello, gave you got any vids on the quantum 35 please? Thanks Nick

[@MowerMan]

Nick Walton I honestly can't remember! What's the problem with it?

[@nickwalton8864]

Hunting a lot. Just looking for a vid to clean the carb. Cheers

[@GregsMowing]

I run my Hayter’s in two stroke mix if I run out of neat fuel. Nothing wrong with doing it. Those Hayter’s are made in China. Hear people blaming Hayter for it not working yet Briggs make the engine 😆

[@brianpercival1829]

Chasing ghosts. Eliminate everything until it is solved. Another plug problem.

[@robheath8382]

No way is that worth more than £300, old Hayters were great but be careful of the new ones.

[@sootie620]

Typical !! Pull the whole thing apart, and for what ?? these B&S engines are bulletproof 99.9% of the time it’s the diaphragm between the tank and carb. Now makes one wonder that this guy posts on KZbin yet hasn’t the grey matter to watch a few vids on KZbin before getting into something that is so obviously simple. The basic rule of any Petrol combustion engine = fuel spark and air. 🤔😜

[@zarrow50]

it is overpriced as it is made in China

[@zarrow50]

overpriced when new these mowers

[@BettySwollocks13]

Just got one of these but there are no instruction stickers and I can’t see anything in the manual- Which way do you pull the choke on?
