My dad was a lawnmower, car, and motorcycle mechanic for fifty years and watching you fix stuff reminds me of him. He was always partial to WheelHorse and my brother has the last one he restored. It was a LawnRanger. Keep up the great videos.

You are so correct!! And in this screwed up world today, we need men like our dads now more than ever. Instead, we've got a whole generation growing up not knowing from one day to the next, if they want to be a male, a female, or something in between. Maybe they might even want to be a toaster, a door knob, or a motor boat. Who knows.@@stevew270

Great detective work Taryl! Working on something after someone else has been there before can make the job a challenge.

Especially when they've lost a bolt or part in the process.

When I was first working on lawnmowers my little brother wanted to help me. So I had him hold on to the spark plug wire while I gave the starter rope a pull. He yelled and dropped the wire. That way I knew it had spark. He still reminds me of that some 60 years later!

in the old briggs repair manuals- it shows how to make a spark tester with a block of wood and some screws

I can't wait till they figure out a way to test these coil on plug junk. Can't just shove the tester inline with it.

Can't tell you how many times i had to fix somebody elses screw up in my 40+ yrs career. Have to start at the beginning and go down the line wire for wire. Hey Uncle buffalo you had me cracking up!! 😂😂😂😂

Working on something that someone else misassembled is always vexing. Good job.

Good job figuring out that problem. I hate having to fix something that someone else took apart. I always charge an "idiot fee" in cases like this.

Merry Christmas guys

Really appreciate all you guys. You've taught me alot over the past 3 or 4 years. Thanks for sharing your know how with us.

Nice, easy fix! Good thing he had all of the parts!

Someone else's bungled repair and a bunch of parts is why it's good to be a detective in this business. Good job.

We love Uncle Andy.

Enjoy these video’s entertaining and very good information

Another very helpful video Taryl , Dont know why they would use a red wire for a ground tho. weird ... Just another example of why we still need the folks with EXPERIENCE !

I would guess that the recall repair was done before the machine was even sold. Then the customer bought it, and when it didn't start he took it apart to see if he could fix it. Then he called Scrapum, and they advised him that it needed a new flywheel and coil without checking the serial number. Then he brought it to Taryl to straighten everything out. That was an excellent diagnosis and fix by Taryl.

I agree. If what the customer said was true the other shop let it go out knowing it didn't run.

This channel is truly the best of the best when it comes to small engine repairs. I sure we had visual access to info like this back in the 60's. 👍

Taryl, love the channel. The skits are hilarious!

Sorry about the wires. Must have been in a hurry for lunch break at home depot 😂

Fellow Hoosier here. I really enjoy your vids. These are just great. Getting me through some tough times physically, and motivating me to finish my 1967 John Deere 60 Lawn Tractor restoration.

Good call, Uncle Andy, on that breather tube !!!!!!!

Was that the buffalo dance- good job .

Got a call on a cub cadet that had a transmission problem. Had no get up and go when the handle was depressed. Pulled the belt cover off. Found the belt was not under the idler pulley. Home depot had worked on it. They had taken the belly pan off , and lo and behold, it was missing. No one knows where it ran off to. Total time for the repair was 10 minutes, which included taking the belt cover off. The owner was happy to pay $100.00, for the repair. He was very grateful, as he had to shovel his entire driveway by hand. ( note: he ordered a new belly pan from cub cadet.) Make sure equipment runs correctly, before taking it home from Home Depot.

Hey taryl and crew good morning to nice video my friends you two looked like the Hunch Backs of Motte Dame God Bless You And your family have a Good Night

I busted out laughing when you guys started dancing, that was great

Taryl you are scaring me wearing that loose scarf around machinery. Stay safe, we need you.

I like that old wind-up start Tecumseh powered mower behind Uncle Andy in the beginning of the video, brings back some good memories. Another great fix, not surprised they screwed up a simple job like that though since nobody seems to know how to repair things anymore!

Love your Scarf , BUT NOT SAFE !!! Remember the last wood splitter !!

Nice job Taryl Happy Holidays to everyone 👍🏻

Uncle Andy!! 👊

Good morning Taryl awesome! Quick fix! See you wearing the LED badge I gave you looks awesome!btw barn fire comes out today. Going to be good

Hey Taryl! That's what Cardiologist (Heart Doctor) said when he was checking my PaceMaker! He was going to have to get his Spark checker?

Had a similar but different problem with a 2015 sears string trimmer. A nice unit, bought cheap used at a flea market, with straight shaft, automatic enrichment and easy start. It would take a huge number of pulls and starting fluid to get it started, and then run for a short period of time, and choke out and die. After much fussing, I reversed the wire connectors on the enrichment solenoid on the carb, and it started up and ran fine. I figure somebody hooked up the enrichment wires backward.

I like older equipment and older people they are reliable 😊 fantastic repair .was that a China briggs ?

This reminds me when I used to work for Namco Cybertainment 35 years ago. We would send something back to home office and 3 weeks later it would come back with a tag on it with the date and time and usually it had a big NPF in red marker on it. I'd put the item back in the arcade machine and it would still not work, so I called my regional manager and said hey this NPF tech is worthless he never repairs anything. After about 5 minutes of John "regional manager" laughing he said that's not the technicians initials that stands for 'No Problem Found". From that day on John would call me NPF every time he saw me or talked to me. I love your videos have a Merry Christmas and a safe but Happy New Year.

Great video guys thanks for sharing

Nothing worse than a box of parts and a crystal ball diagnosis from a guy in the phone... I always add at least 2 hrs for going through the whole mower. You never know what's been jacked around with by someone unplugging and plugging everything back in. Great job Taryl👍🏻👍🏻

D'ju see it? First thing Taryl did was isolate the coil. That's experience speaking. When I ran AAA wrecker service the first thing I did was ask the stranded customer if the transmission was in park. My boss didn't like that though because at least 1/2 the time the customer would come back to the phone and say "hey it's running now" so we didn't get paid for a service call. When I was a kid, the repair guy used to stick his finger into the gas tank and then into his mouth and say the gas was bad if there was none. We learn to use "logic" when we are faced with a failure, but we also know where to look from experience. Taryl, where'd you get that digital name tag? Pretty cool. ben/ michigan

Great video 📹 👍 Happy 🌲 Holiday's from Mechanicsburg, PA

Great stuff, keep it up

Great job! Merry Christmas to you and yours.

That flywheel looks fairly rusted seeing how it's supposedly new. Thank goodness for ignorant people or you'd be out of work... A well deserved dance at the end....Uncle Andy needed the help

Thanks for the video Taryl and Andy.

Hola! Hermano gracias por tus consejos eres un buen hombre y un buen maestro el mejor bendiciones feliz navidad

Good job 🇺🇲

Awesome video! Keep up the good work.

"Buffalo Drew" better be on the next Grass Rats CD or I'm coming over there!!!! . . . maybe pick up some Gel Lube and a t-shirt.

It was Gordy's fixes all shop. Hey they said it was just the coil & flywheel. Like that victory dance!

The cameraman never gets hurt

Had an old mechanic tell me there needs to be two things to make anything run. You must have spark and fuel. One without the other and you are dead in the water, lol. Thanks for sharing😊

Carol keep up the good work

Taryl, your awesome!!

Spark testers sound cool. I have always wanted to buy one. I never do. I just take the plug out and ground the thread, and use the plug as the spark tester.

I once knew an old timer mechanic who would lick his fingers and hold the plug wire tip while spinning the engine and he’d say ifin I feel the spark clear up to my elbow then it’s good enough.

@robertsmith2956

another simple way is to use the ol timing light. It flashes you have spark.

Hold the spark plug lol .... my uncle told me to never touch the spark plug when I was about 9 years old . I wanted to see why after he went home . I found why he said that real quick. 😅 zap it hurt like hell ⚡️ ⚡️ ⚡️lol

Thanks I learned something new thanks to you.

😂 love the video!!!

Nice dance moves Buffalo Drew!

I just sent in for some Taryl Gummies.....for that relaxing feeling after cold weather leaf pick up........boy i am hungry for some pizza and Keystone Light beers......Not that Hamms crap.!!!!!

Excellent information and a great video 👌👍

oiling that pre-filter will cause restriction, so it will flow like a dirty filter before it gets dirty. The prefilters don't need oil because the paper element catches the fine dust.

Uncle Andy might not be able to get around as good as he once did, and has a painfully weak "Woooo!!!' but he sure can cut a rug!! The ladies at the nursing home LOVE that!!

I had a vanguard twin that showed spark when laying the plug against the cylinder. Didn’t have enough spark to run. I learned my lesson on that one because I chased my tail for a while trying to figure out why it wouldn’t run.

A friend of mine worked on a Honda powered pressure washer, it quit running after lots of trouble shooting, he changed the spark plug and it ran fine. The old plug would fire out of the engine, but wouldn't installed. He told me, I was at a loss and bought a new plug and it fired off on the first pull. He replaced the carburetor, air filter, oil, and checked the valve adjustment.

Brute Splitters are sold at Menards. Menards usually has a local small engine shop do the warranty work.

What kind of mechanic works on an engine and doesn't start it after their done ? Great tip Taryl.

Hay Taryl ,,,good to see your on the ball. Cheers 🍻

Fire it up, fire it up, fire it up

Awesome video

Keep up the good advice and fun

Hope you guys had a nice Christmas I hope you got it everything you guys wanted

That show you some of these dealers and techs don't give a hoot. I enjoy watching your videos. Thanks for the videos

Got a new engine exactly like this one. Been setting a few years. Have cleaned and put new fuel in. I have spark & will run off starting fluid but dies. Enjoy your show. Lots great info. Thanks

Obviously, Home Depot had their power equipment rental department warranty replace the parts and they sold it as new without starting it, because if they did it couldn't legally be sold as new. Home Depot pulls this kind of crap all the time.

Another good video

That warranty job must have been done by Podunk-sutawny Phil, last February, when he went back to bed for six more weeks of winter! Hey .... That could make a good Taryl Fixes All Skit?! - Podunk-sutawny Phil and Groundhog Day...... Pull a chainsaw out of a tree stump and look for a shadow?!

Nice video you make it look simple

I put a new coil on and the spark plug put out orange spark, changed to new spark plug and it started right up with a nice blue spark. Oh well I have a spare coil now since the old coil was probably fine. Put a new plug in first is the lesson I learned.

You GO TARYL GOOD JOB

Botched? Taryl fixes all! 😎

You da man!

Uncle Andy looks like he's still hurting from you throwing him off the loft in the new building! Hahahaha!

Man you guys can dance 🕺

I was having some problems with my log splitter too. All I need was some Preparation H to fix it right up.

Yer pretty sharp on both ends Taryl! I bet you kind wish all repairs were that easy.

You can't lift it Uncle Andy, it says 30 Ton😂 Nice job👍

What was wrong with the original flywheel and coil that came on the engines? I wouldn't think "BOTH" would be bad, only one of them. Not much to go wrong on a flywheel.

Hi, I would have liked to see Taryl to have checked flywheel bolt making sure it was tight, Same with coil bolts, Air gap, etc, Maybe he did off camera. When ever u get "Homeowner"( That's what i call them)doing there own work its usually a mess..

🤩🤩That is quite a dance celebration !!! 😱YES indeed, there is a great example of 😵‍💫 "NO COMMON SENSE" of mechanical ability knowledge of the simple operation of a gas engine safety circuit !!! 😏😏THANKS FOR THE VIDEO , BE SAFE !!!😍😍😍😍😍

The fine print reads EZ WURKS is the umbrella company.?🤣🤣

Thumbs up great video, yea,I remember some of those briggs recalls, they had it where you didn't have to take the machine out of the carton,

Taryl Taryl, you only hand tightened the spark plug. It's never gonna run.😊

Wired the switch wrong, WOW. Taryl figure that out right away. NOS, " Knuckleheads Operating Shops"

B&S quality control is the root cause of this. If the engine never ran, it means their outgoing QA sucks. Recall on new machine means either their incoming QA is non-existent or their parts supplier is as crappy as B&S's outgoing. A recall is an excuse for both.

Thank you for sharing. Any time I need to check for spark I just call for the wife.💥🤣👍

BTDT. I have a trifuel generator that a wood rat moved into and chewed through a wire and the propane circuit wouldn't keep running. Fixed the wire and saw there were two places to reattach but couldn't remember which one I pulled it off of. Of course I reasoned the wrong one and it still wouldn't run. Hooked it up to the other tab, heard a click and it came back to life; and yes I did a dance.

That’s a nice dipstick for a predator/Honda clone style engine
