[@jeffbarkley4717]

So much great info ty! I have a 42 inche toro

[@IndRepair]

Thank you!

[@jimmyhardy7188]

This is why you take care of your machines, people. If you take care of your machines, it will be ready when you get ready to mow.

[@IndRepair]

It sure will be!

[@frankie7508]

Always a pleasure watching your repairs and hearing the explanation as you show us tips along the way. Another fine job! 👍👍👍

[@IndRepair]

I appreciate that! Thanks for watching!

[@steveriggenbach90]

I have bench tested solenoids by hooking up to a 9 volt battery. As always a ton of info.

[@IndRepair]

Definitely works, I have a spot welder that has DC output I used to use a lot for this kind of testing. Anymore, I prefer quick and easy much as I can. A battery would definitely get us there

[@danny8block]

Mine didn’t even want to crank. I thought it was the parking break module but it turns out I just had to clean the connection. Got dirty and it was acting like it wasn’t working. Now runs fine

[@IndRepair]

Awesome news!

[@garymoore8380]

Another good video. Great work!!!!!!

[@IndRepair]

Thank you!

[@watermanone7567]

Good video, I am surprised that Toro went to those crappy engines. I have seen lots of issues with them. Kawasaki engines seem to be the top of the line lately, but very pricey.

[@IndRepair]

Kawasaki makes a great engine, it is all about the bottom line for many anymore unfortunately

[@leosweeney7955]

Hi, invest in some JIS (Japanese Industrial Standard) screw drivers and/or bits. I never used them, till I learned about them, holly cow, what a difference, when u use the right tool for the job!!!! Just FYI.

[@leosweeney7955]

I always broke them loose first, with pliers or vice grips, like u, till I tried them.

[@leosweeney7955]

I'm 65, and just learned this difference, this year!!!! LOL

[@IndRepair]

I have some but these are not JIS screws I do not believe

[@IndRepair]

@@leosweeney7955 All the UTV and ATV carburetors we used to work on used JIS screws

[@IndRepair]

@@leosweeney7955 Yeah, the more you know! Great tips!

[@coryadams2054]

What's your honest opinion of that engine. I've had mine for 10 years now and no problems. Occasional backfire when shutting off, but just wakes you up. Are they any more problem prone that B&S or Kohler? Great video by the way. Very professional all the way thru.

[@IndRepair]

For all the grief I said about them when this engine was released I think they do just as well as Kohler or Briggs (if not better). Time has really shown they are holding up well in my opinion

[@FUBAR046]

Good God. Air filter is nasty

[@IndRepair]

Yeah, pretty darn bad!!

[@tommyzee4908]

7/28/24 my toro z turn model 74330 .starter went o ground installed 2nd starter it went to ground also and dropped the battery down to 10vdc. And now battery won't take a charge . How do I start to diagnose and repair this problm

[@IndRepair]

What do you mean by went to ground? Start with a good battery and clean, tight corrosion free connections

[@BillyRay-xk7qw]

Coil

[@IndRepair]

Not on this one

[@oldkicker8958]

Do you always have those parts on hand?

[@IndRepair]

Yes, we keep these carburetors in stock

[@danielherlihy4685]

What kind of lift are you using?

[@IndRepair]

[@Linda-ov1nc]

Replaced the solenoid, battery, choke cable, fuel pump, plugs and filters still no start

[@IndRepair]

Does it turn over at all? Any noise?

[@Mike_The_Hog_A_Nator]

My Buddy has a 52" ExMark Radius. It runs great "If" the fuel cap is loose. Tightened down & it'll only run a few minutes then it's like a safety switch kicks in & it dies. New fuel filter stays full of fuel, plenty of oil, etc. Could it be the fuel cap not venting? Can you drill a hole or hole 2 in that plastic inner vent piece inside the fuel cap? I've had 1 place tell me it's the EPA Canister that "T's" off just past the fuel filter & hangs by a piece of hose. Fuel pump is fine, Kohler Engine. Thanks, Mike in TX 🤟

[@IndRepair]

It could very well be the canister, if the hose going to the canister happened to not be attached or to have somewhere to vent this would not be able to happen. If it is only when the fuel cap is on it is definitely a fuel tank vent issue

[@Mike_The_Hog_A_Nator]

Great thank you..

[@rickbroerman9267]

You forgot to say LIKE and SUBSCRIBE. 😅

[@IndRepair]

Oh man, knew I forgot something lmao!

[@sherrischneider2794]

That motor has a major oil leak on the left valve cover or maybe a head gasket leak, can't tell because of the dirt.

[@IndRepair]

Yeah, I estimated it but unfortunately can't fix them all like you want to

[@outlet6989]

That part of the engine cover where the air filter goes looked dirty.

[@IndRepair]

It definitely was. I did clean it before marking it as finished and alerting the customer. Many times when doing a video I still get sidetracked and have to go back over things to get the fine details correct. Thanks for watching!

[@bigsonslawncare]

Always enjoy the content💯👍🏾

[@IndRepair]

I appreciate that! Thanks for watching and for your comment

[@Rein_Ciarfella]

Martin, do you ever blow out an obstructed 90 fitting in the tank by disconnecting the fuel line at the pump and blowing from that direction towards the tank? Then fish it out with a light and flexible grabber? I’m thinking an endoscope would aid in doing this, especially on ZT tanks.

[@IndRepair]

I have not ever done it this way but I suppose it is possible to do it like this

[@kencurtis228]

No Starts always check the gas First

[@IndRepair]

Yes sir!

[@Linda-ov1nc]

What about the starter

[@IndRepair]

Go through and figure it out systematically

[@kencurtis228]
