You're like the dad I never had. Thanks to this video I fixed my riding lawnmower that's been sitting for a hot minute. That brings up the total to 5 machines I've fixed thanks to you and your son. Appreciate the uploads.

These are great machines those kohlers are tough!

I’ve got two John Deere riding mowers I’m currently rehabbing - my first attempt at any of it. It def takes me a lot longer than you. Thanks for the channel

That’s a great first project! Thanks for watching and good luck! 😎👍🏻

Well done!

Just for future reference, I’d had great luck sealing those old plastic tanks with Seal All. Sand the area you’ll be applying it to and clean really well with alcohol. I let it dry 48 hours before adding gas back to it

thanks for watching and for the sub! I really have enjoyed flipping mowers the last few years. I kind of stumbled into it accidentally. Now everyone I know gives me free stuff that doesn't run haha.

No criticism, but the filter is on backwards, you won't see if the fuel is dirty that way 😅easy mistake, I've done it myself!

A leaf blower helps keep the garage floor clean. You can also use it too purge the fuel tank with the grommet out. :)

I miss doin stuff like this. I studied small engine repairs at the career center during my junior and senior years of high school. I fixed up my dads 93 MTD Yardman and ended up selling it because I wasnt allowed topp have it at my apartment 🙃

Fuel filter was put on backwards, I believe. It'll work but you won't see when it's dirty. Also agree that the mouse nests must get cleaned out of the fins or it'll overheat. Great job involving your son in the fixes.

Yep, was just going to make same comment. Typically there’s fuel flow direction arrow on them.

I need to know how you take the transmission belt off of that lawn mower

You need to remove the tins and clean behind them the mice love cramming stuff in there. Also you can adjust the valves if it's clacky.

I agree, mouse nests crammed up in the cooling fins will cause overheating and eventually engine failure.

do you clean the nest out it can catch fire

Steve's Small Engine Saloon channel did a test on does it matter gapping a spark plug. He gap one .010, and bent the other plug to,099 Found still ran the same. His conclusion on a Honda Push mower if it is not running. It is not because of the spark plug gap. Search The Spark Plug Gap Is NOT Critical (With SHOCKING Proof)

Where are you located at in what town!!!

Good you can do the repairs your self. Repair shop now days. You be looking at $500 easy.

Sure sounds like it’s only running on 1 cylinder
