I didn't even know you could remove the hood off of a riding mower

You the man!! I changed the air filter, fuel filter, oil filter, cleaned the carburetor and changed the spark plugs before finding this video. It was the choke adjustment all along! You are smart and I am dumb lol!

Damn that long might take me 10 or 20 years before i see a wire harness and its plug ends for mine Unless someone else thinks their engine is blown up and they sale me another one with all the wiring harness to the engine its the only way

Dude you should've shown a clip of it starting after tightening the screw 👍🏻

It's also frequent that these do come from the factory with the screw tight, but mis-adjusted on the cable length. You can check by watching which lever that cable rotates right on the carb, then see if you can push it farther than the cable can. If so loosen that screw and shove the cable over towards the carb then retighten. When it comes from the factory misadjusted, the engine is so new-perfect for the first season that it doesn't even need the choke, so you don't notice the flaw until the second season.

dude, I am so glad I found your video. I was getting ready to pull the carburetor and rebuild it. This was the problem, this mower hadn’t been started for over a year and it kicked over on the first crank. Once I move that choke all the way closed.

Thats good now you can show me your wire harness hook up and plug ends

I have the same exact mower and mine only starts when I spray gas directly into the mower carb on cold starts. After it starts, it has no problem starting again till it gets cold. I will check this out. I was just about to buy a carb bc I just cleaned this one. It fixed my problem and now my mower runs like a top 1351 hours

This is hysterical, anymore "tips" master mechanic?

My husqvarna has been decent. It had three mower decks under warranty, and the engine has been off twice for oil leaks,not too bad considering it's a 2005,has 327 hours, just change the oil and filter once a year and grease the spindles on the mower deck a few times a season

Thanks for the video. Just bought a used craftsman 4500.

I had no crank/click/anything Deere l100. Pulled my hair out for a couple days. Found out the brake switch was loose on the frame and slipped off the brake linkage when the brake was applied.

Thank you for the tip and have a blessed day today 🙏

Cub cadet it’s a 60$ throttle handle and cable I used a 4’ hand lawnmower throttle cable bolted w a pc a steel mounted the steel plate but I have to manually lift the choke know she’s not maxed rpm and choke like the original I can 3/8 it and choke she starts right up

My riding mower is making that sound

I could use parts off that engine for my 40h777 craftsman/Briggs engine. So now i gotta put another cable on it i attached a cable to the top of the carburetor but nothing at the bottom Im using used parts off my other junk mowers so it might look like shit on the outside but all functions the right way its not new like yours you probably paid around 3 thousand something for yours I just bought the 40h777 used the guys friend said the engine was blown up but its not i think he'd be upset if he heard it idling smooth again it didn't for him because he had vehicle plugs in it and had a few air gaps and no ignition switch or wire harness no diode or rectifier. I paid $40 for my engine

Yeah i noticed you pushed your foot down i unhooked all that spaghetti from mine from all my mowers and the neighbor's i worked on to and explained to them the good in doing it that way is all so the mower stays running while you get up off from it to pick a twig up or move a turtle or to make th3 snake move out of the way so you don't wanna squish any of those unless its already dead

But in the end it shows him trying to pull his hair out instead of the mower starting…

Yup choke not chocking. Did it done. Next.

You can show me the wire harness

Dude you weren’t holding the choke up when you initially tried starting it

👍

I have a John Deere with the same motor and setup. I can't get it to work the choke properly. Frustrating issue 😢

Omg you got me 😂 because if someone said hey my mower turns over but doesn't start. Hmmmm. Yea thats not a solution but a rare occurrence. Probably should check the oil first.

This is NOT a rare issue with these. They very commonly come misadjusted from the factory and need the cable slid over a bit before you retighten that screw. I bought a $2000 machine for $500 because the owner didn't know of this 30 second fix.

WTF? Always lift your hood first, take a quick look over while you're checking your oil BEFORE you start it. I do, it's a no-brainer.

I have that same mower!

I wanna know how to manually start a tractor when the battery goes dead. Garage ain’t got power and it’s a pain in the @$$ running extension cord out to charge the dang thing. Will the battery charge itself when the motor is running? Or am I supposed to charge the thing on regular basis?

Even when you pull the choke it does this?

Its about setting it to the correct position so that the choke is fully closed on a cold start

Looks like as loose as that was it was staged and completely misleading information. And I've been a certified small engine tech for 20 +yrs

I love the the fact that you hood lifts right off. What year is it? Mine is a 2021 model and you have to unscrew several screws just to get clear access to the engine! Stupid design.

Um just pull the choke and there you go it’s not that hard
