I have been wanting to start gold plating customers float bowls for a long time. There;s an idea 4 you Dactyl, gold plating float bowls. Woulld solve a lot of problems depending on quality of plating.

I liked him saying to blast the coating off a new bowl just because he didn't like it in there. Hilarious 😆

My favorite TarylDactyl quote: "Its not the Space Shuttle...Its a Lawn Mower!!" Epic. That L-head I/C engine series from Breaks & Scrap'em is one of the best models they ever made, IMHO.

The coating in the bowl is important when the mower passes the outer stratosphere. Here at NASA, we coat all the carb bowls.

I once sandblasted a float bowl , and then my mower fell into pieces right before my eyes , I scooped up the pieces in a few buckets and brought them to Lowes where I bought it and they said since I sandblasted the float bowl I deserved to have my mower collapse into a heap of pieces and parts and they shunned me from the store forever..

The employees at Lowes are not professional small engine mechanics. You voided the warranty by taking the engine apart in the first place. You put it back together incorrectly or forgot to put oil in the engine. YOU screwed that engine, not your sandblasting, unless the engine ingested sandblasting media 🤔. You doop.

Besides like he said that’s nonsense.

It is a fun channel to watch once in a while, but do you really think they would show a video if something got really botched up during filming? If you have a "rare" float bowl, maybe you can use Red-Kote on the inside. I tried it once (old Wisconsin), and it seems to be working OK.

Great video! Never lets us down. Btw I am an MST Briggs tech and here's more on the code date of all Briggs motors: fist two digits are the year of manufacture, the third and fourth digits are the month of manufacture, and of course the fifth and sixth digits are the day of the month of manufacture. The following digits designate the plant and assembly line. This code dating was established in 1965 by Briggs.

I'm waiting for the bowl blaster video game, skit series and merch! Dinner served...... In a bowl.

Would've liked to see you use it with the offset pin installed so you could mow with both your rider and the tow mower. for those who don't know, they make the mower track to the left or right side of your rider so you can cut a huge swath in a single pass. If seen them ganged in ridiculous configurations, but one to the left and one to the right, plus the rider would get big areas cut quick, fast, and in a hurry. Very cool! Keep the great work!

Yes, great for big areas with a regular tractor or mower. I always wondered how one of those would work with my waggly-ass ZTR mower, and now I know it's not the best way to pull it.

Taryl, you got a great deal on that trail mower and you did good getting it running. I build a trail mower from a Craftsman rider mower and parts from my boneyard. I pull it behind my compact tractor and can mower 116 inches. It works great and saves me time mowing the open areas. Thank you for doing this channel, Taryl.

He shows everything and has many options as to a problem. Loved the one that stumped him. The last resort was the piston rings. Bingo fixed on the "Brake and scrap em"

They sand blasted the float bowls on the Hindenburg and look what happened ! Oh the humanity lol !

You and the boys have been doing this how many years?? I think you may know a little about mower do's and don'ts. Keep up the great work Taryl, we love you!! 👍🏼

Good video Taryl. Those calling you a hack are just jealous that they didn't think of it. Wouldn't give their comments a second thought

Remember Taryl common sense isnt to common!

Nice Sunday evening 'chuckle time' with the man himself and we learned some stuff as a bonus. Thanks Taryl.

when you first pulled the air cleaner cover off, I thought that clump of dirt was a dead mouse! It cracks me up the way you make fun of dumb comments. Stuff like that is probably the main reason I watch this channel!

That pull behind would be neat for when you had mower-deck parts issues or expense but needed to cut a lot of grass anyway. If one guy had it, he could let the other guy use it while his machine was getting fixed. Then the grass doesn't get outta hand and get too tall, which gets wrapped up in mechanisms of even the toughest machines and breaks things if you keep trying and don't stop and cut that tall grass out that's clogged around rotating shafts etc. A rental place could offer that tow behind.

I been working on small engines and motorcycles for many years,did my first engine at eight years old,iv don all kinds of things to these engines and never had a problem,Teryl is one of the best iv seen in this business,good job Teral

There are 2 factors which were not discussed on the video. First: fuel bowls can be steel, aluminum, pot metal, brass or any other material which will hold gas. Second: The gas which contains ethanol entrains water. If the ethanol gas sits for a while the water drops out of solution. If you have a steel bowl it may rust. An aluminum bowl will corrode if the oxide skin is disturbed. A brass bowl might not be hurt by the water but acid will eat it away, Your observation of the B&S fuel pickup tube splitting has helped me on several rebuilds. I think the split is caused by metal fatigue from vibration. These kinds of tips can only come from someone with a great depth of understanding the ailments of small engines. Thank you. May I call you Dr. Taryl?

It's always sweet to watch you recover and prevail when things don't go as expected. Shows the superb skills you possess and perfect application of same. You are inspired. And you pass on that inspiration. Thank you! We learn a lot and and are entertained. What a blessing.

Taryl is the best! Truly a gem that we all need. Well done!

Mr. Dactyl, thank you for the informative and practical DYI repair of the pull behind. In your video you mention disparaging comments directed to your application of treating an aluminum carb float bowl with sandblasting. Basic bombarding a surface with high velocity media to scour away debris and detritus. Your retorts are correct in the fact that this method does little in the way of removing any "protective" coating applied by the manufacturer, it is true that companies apply a thin film of clear coating to aluminum surfaces; but this is purely cosmetic. It is used to delay the oxidation while the product is in transit or on the showroom floor. Aluminum in its raw form is the second most abundant metal in the Earth. It is also relatively simple to mine and refine. Aluminum corrodes in several ways They can be atmospheric, Intergranular, exfoliating, and Galvanic. This is the type that I believe has affected your carb. As you noted, the float bowl was "rusted" aluminum is non-ferrous but can be contaminated by ferrous metals in its system. The emulsion tube showed discoloration and was pitted, and you could not remove it. This is classic galvanic corrosion. Dissimilar metals (brass) can create an electrolytic reaction when in proximity to each other, causing the aluminum to act as an anode which accelerates the corrosion. I believe this will be clear to all of those who call you a hack, and they will heap formal apologies upon you. Mustie1 are you listening?

Always informative and entertaining. An old bush mechanics bodge for things like the oil dipstick grommet is to clean it off and coat with some mushy consistency yellow laundry soap, oil and gas will not dissolve soap so also works for patching holes in gas tanks [and carb float bowls LOL].

When Taryl started saying he was gonna take the bowls off new engines and sand blast them I died laughing!

Make sure the brake and carb spray is fully chlorinated. It’s the one that melts your pansie love gloves . Hold your cigar in the other hand, close cover before striking...

"Hard as a carp." Awesome Johnny Carson reference! I laughed like crazy!

A few years ago I got a Roof 28 inch mower with a Briggs 8 horse4 I/C engine that had been sitting for at LEAST 12 years if not longer the owner said. The float bowl bottom was GONE with rust. It was under a shed with plenty of room to stay dry and was used at a tree farm. I got a new bowl and just blew out the center tube with laquer thinner and air. Runs like Swiss watch and cuts like a carpet. Gator blade of course.

Dang Skippy I love it that was hilarious good work seeing you pull it behind that lawn mower give me an idea I might have to see if I can find one of them things love the video

When you pulled that drill bit out of the float pin mounts, aluminum fragments dropped inside the top of the carb. So when you mounted carb back on the mower those shards dropped into the bowl. Unlikely for them to get all the way up into the engine but could block the jet or emulsion tube. Keep blasting the bowls!
