I should have watched this before cleaning the carburetor twice, doing the gas cap vent test, spark plug gap ext. My mower would periodically start but peter out after a few seconds. This cable was out of adjustment by a 1/16 of an inch ( right at the run/stop sweet spot). " a halfa inch at home isn't that bigga deal"!😆

Nice job!

Steve is just fantastic and perhaps the best small engine mechanic I have ever watched and, I have spent many many hours watching small engine mechanics. But what's really happening is he is adjusting the connection points on the cable through the outer plastic shield. And as a result it has the effect of shortening the steel cable. In the past, I simply used zip ties and would attach the cable to the handle to make sure that it worked properly. Of course steve's idea is far superior. But as the cable continues to wear, Which most people mistakingly call stretch, Eventually there will not be enough adjustment on the outer plastic cable screw points to compensate. At that point you will need to resort to plastic zip Ties to attach the cable to the handle. Or simply spend ten dollars and replace the cable. Thanks again steve, you're the best! 👍👍👍

Thank You...and You're Welcome...

Summary: The cable ends screw in/out, and by screwing both ends out a little bit (1/4 inch or so) you can lengthen the cable's outer sheath, which effectively shortens the usable portion of the cable, increasing the range of motion available to the kill switch actuator. Two things not mentioned: 1) On my mower (Murray 21"), the ends screw all the way off at about a half inch. 2) These dudes can be pretty tight. I needed to use pliers at first to get the initial twists, after that I could use my fingers. Really appreciate the video! This solved my problem and saved me from doing something weird like wiring up a manual switch in place of my kill switch!

I just went through this same process so don’t feel bad. The mower would start intermittently and I had no idea why. Laughed (and cried) when I realized it was the cable.

Steve, the heavy spring is the problem. My chain link fence is loaded with all the bail handles I've taken as trophies, along with a bucket of the springs. The cables wear out, kink up and otherwise become non functional. Cut them off with nips, fashion a simple shutoff for the kill switch or spend the bucks for an electrical springloaded SP/ST switch and screw the rotor brake. I used to remove the brake, now I find that just letting it flop around as it only cleans off the face of the rotor ensuring clean magnetic flow to the coil with virtually no drag when it touches and if it does need to be removed, cut it away with a metal cutting wheel, in place, as it can be accessed directly from above or you can remove the bolt and do it in a vise. That monster spring that B&S uses is way too strong. They sell more cables because of this. If and when the cable kinks, I have used your method to buy more time but the inside run of the cable is wearing out anyway and hand straightening, then locking it down with zip ties and electrical tape and lubing the crap out of them might buy a bit more time. Customers hate when you tell them it's twelve to fourteen bucks for a new cable. They brighten up when you fix it with some "chewing gum and baling wire" as you really only need the kill switch to work. The brake on the rotor is for safety ( OSHA required for the manufacturer, so check with your risk manager if you should do this as a repair "professional" or if you are the owner of the machine, there I are no restrictions) so you have to remind them they have to keep their toes away from the deck when they reach down to kill the engine. The keeping it simple principle applies here. Especially with older mowers that turn into beaters anyway.

Thanks! I just put the mower up for the winter, besides sharpening the blade I will address the cable problem as the winter jobs. Enjoy your videos.

That's slick Steve . I just take the cable off and brake. Stick the kill wire where I can ground it out to kill it. Thanks

They are presented in a clear format and your presentation is spot on.; not rigid and formal , but like you're right there talking to me. Great job, Steve. I've got a particular problem I have been working on that I can't figure out. It involves a Troy Bilt tiller Model TB225, 21AK225G766, 2 stroke,. Bought for $25 from Lowe's,, probably as a return because it wouldn't start. First problem I found was a bad spark plug, no continuity. Thought I had really lucked out. Replaced that, but still couldn't get the unit to pop, even with starter fluid. Compression check yielded about 55 psi, not the best, but i figured i should get something. Unit had set in the rain for some time. Carb jets rusty and even with a cleaning, gaskets were rigid and though it might present a problem.. Replaced the carb with a cheap aftermarket. Nothing! Got spark, compression, and fuel. What else should I be looking at? I am assuming this thing has neither reed nor circular disk valves.

Thank you!! I'll have to give that a shot. A elder friend of mine needed her mower fixed That cable broke. Replace cable. Won't start. I'll try this. Thank you again.

This was very helpful! I tried it just today on a salvage mower someone was throwing away.

I can’t recall which specific size it was. I have the variety pack from Harbor Freight and just found one that looked about right.

1/2 is a lot at home :P

I identified that exact problem with my mower a frew days ago. Not having this solution in hand, I cobbled up my own: 1) I tore out the safety mechanism altogether. 2) I connected a light switch from the ground wire to a ground connection on the mower ----to a bolt I loosened, added the ground wire then tightened again. So now, when the switch is on, it shuts off the mower because the ground wire goes through the switch to ground. And when the switch is off, the engine will run. I think I'll improve on that by using a piece of sheet metal screwed in to a bolt on the engine. When the springy sheet metal is pushed in, it connects to the top of the spark plug, ground it out and shutting off the engine. This involves taking the rubber boot off the spark plug to expose the high voltage connection. So I'll be able to use a foot/shoe to push the sheet metal to connect with the high voltage connection on the spark plug, grounding out the voltage.

Thanks for the information. My daughter and I are tinkering around with small engines.

I know this is an older video but it saved my Husqvarna LC221A today! After ordering and installing two “factory correct” drive belts that didn’t fit 🤬 I saw this video and decided to try it on the drive cable for my AWD Husqvarna and it solved my problem, wish I had tried this from the git-go! Beware of non OEM belts that claim to be the correct size if your mower uses a custom belt that’s in between standard sizes, they usually won’t fit or work right and sellers on eBay and Amazon are often clueless!! Thanks Steve-O!!

Great tip and easy to fix it. Thanks you very much Steve , I was leaving overseas and had trouble with find part every small machine took it with me when moving back to Thailand. It’s very hard to find the right parts.

Youve saved my ass several times, im telling you. Im out off the grid so its not like i have a home depot, walmart close by or anyone to fix my shit. So thank you man, by the way, i bought me one of your shirts and what a conversational shirt its been. Thanks bro.

Thank you sir for you video! I searched everywhere on how to resolve the issue of my mower not starting and couldn't find a way to make any adjustments. I came across your video and it worked perfectly. Now I have more things to fix.😋
