This series of videos is awesome. My 13 year old son and I used them to repair the engine on a 3 year old craftsman push mower my neighbor had given up on and set by the curb. We tore it down. Cleaned A LOT of hard built up carbon jamming up the cylinder. Bought new gaskets and o-rings and reassembled. The mower cranked on the first pull. High fives all around and my son has a mower for summer mowing jobs. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

That is awesome!

Excellent Video !! - Just Hit a Tree Stump with my Lawn Mover and Cracked and Broke the Sump Case. So this Video is Perfest for my Rebuild

Brilliant detail. Thanks

Hey Jake, at the end you said, Stay Tuned for Part 4: Troubleshooting, Set Spark Plug Gap, How To Look At Spark (I guess you mean how to check a spark plug for firing), How To See What's Going On, Diagnose Why It's Not Starting, and Things We Can Do, and Then Hopefully Get This Thing Fired Up. I don't see it on your Videos page.

To lock the flywheel in place I used the blade adapter on the bottom and clamped it in a vice. It's 10 times better than using the cable that is flexible.

Funny you said that because I have done that twice in two different lawn mowers fogetting to put the washer or to put the pull rope catcher lol..

awesome

Thanks!

Fantastic video. What brand and type of spark plug to you recommend for this engine.

Your voice reminds me a bit of Steve Wallis the camping guy

So the mower was working great for a while. Today I was going up a slight hill and heard a strange noise. I think the flywheel or key was the noise and now it won't pull at all...anyways I was borrowing the socket set I used and need to buy a the socket used on flywheel. Do you happen to know what size to use?

Same motor found blade adapter sheared but kicking back won’t start flywheel key looks fine - any hints? Wits end

No ignition timing of any sort?

Where did you find the tourqe specs and clearance specs for this engine.

Have you ever used a business card to set the magneto gap?

Hi, ive gone through the same motor and im dealing with kickback when starting and the flywheel key is good. Is there a compression relief on this motor?

If the valve lash is really out of spec you will get that as well. Fixed the issue with mine.

I USE A BUSINESS CARD ,ABOUT - .008 GAP
