We subscribed! We've already watched 4 videos that aren't specifically about our Honda mower, but your explanations are so clear and well-presented that they're enjoyable to watch regardless. We own a Honda HRN216VKA lawn mower that suddenly stopped working about 3 months ago after its last use. We usually hire someone to take care of our lawn, so we don't use it often. We've already changed the oil, replaced the fuel, replaced the spark plug, and cleaned the air filter (which was barely dirty). We also checked the carburetor, and it appears very clean with no signs of water or dirt. Unfortunately, the mower still won't start. At this point, can you please recommend the next troubleshooting steps we should take? We'd also appreciate it if you could suggest the tools and any lubricants we might need to get this mower running again. By the way, here's a tip we learned while changing the oil: Even after the oil seems to have stopped draining, tilting and flipping the mower a few times can help get out even more oil! Thanks. Looking forward for your response

I just went through the installation of the Carb rebuild kit for the exact Briggs and Stratton motor and Carb. setup that I have. Nobody else ever mentioned this exact Mower setup. I am still trying to keep it running after a col or warm start. It seems that I might have a Fuel Flow starvation problem possibly. That or one of those little ports in the Carb body itself may have slipped by me without being clean out. I guess that we'll see when I do this removal of the Carb once again.

Buzz the OLD MAN here from Eliminator Performance: Good thing you did not snap an elbow cause that is how bad the kick back can be. Very good video, we normally just whack the crankshaft with the nut flush and light pressure with a prey bar under the flywheel and they pop right off. Woodruff keys are half moon shaped and made of steel normally on riding mowers, the push mowers normally have aluminium keys of different shapes ie: B&S straight rectangular and Techumseh has an offset key in some cases. Taryl normally uses an air impact hammer if the crankshaft has the countersunk center.

Not to be pickey, but the arm from the thermal actuator is bent against the choke air vane. This hinders the free moovement of the air vane and will cause the engine to run too rich. I think that strong observation skills is one of the most important parts of being a good service tech. A little side note, A "woodruf key" has the shape of a half moon, otherwise any other shaft key is called by it's end profile.

@TheLawnmowerLady Жыл бұрын
Next time that happens, pull the spark plug, pull on the starter a few times, and replace the plug. If it starts fine then, you are getting partial hydro-lock either from oil or fuel getting to the combustion chamber. Replace the needle seat in the carb to eliminate fuel fuel getting in there. And store the machine with the pull cord just where it gets tension to ensure both valves are closed. That’s my guess?
