Hello, Welcome to my Channel.
I love doing videos on how I build or maintain or install things on anything from cars to bikes to woodworking, just about anything that I have at my house.
I live in Canada so we have different seasons that limits me on what videos I make at different times of the year.
Of course, in the summer you will find mostly outdoor videos on motorcycles, cars, welding... things like that.
In the winter I hibernate indoors and usually do some woodworking, so you will see things like Christmas gifts and the like.
So please Subscribe to my channel and be prepared for a variety of different videos that I'm sure will interest you.
Have a good day.

I liked the older style top cover better. This modern one gives the mower a cheaper look.
Why not build the platform and put casters wheels on it? Making a turntable is hard engineering, there is so much weight from bike and rider on it that it will not work or stop working after 2 tries. It's also a see-saw,
"Hard Engineering"... "it will not work or stop working after 2 tries"... Wow. I am still using it after all these years and I have also changed my bike to a 900 pound touring model, and it still works. Look up my Victory oil change video and you will see it in action. Thanks for watching.
Is that a car tire on there?
Yes
Paul, what would you consider a decent price for a beacon original, black?
I am from Canada and things are expensive here. Back in the day, these were a $400 item. Today, if I needed one, I would probably only go as high as $200 for a new one, before looking for something else. But that is just my opinion.
@@PaulPomerleau do you think that beacon light is that much better than the rest of them?
That is a personal choice. I don't normally ride at night, but when I go into a dark underground parking area, I find the Beacon light to be very dim. For me I would not like it at night and would go with something else like a bright white halogen bulb for the low beam and an equivalent temperature LED for the high beam, because LED's are faster to light than halogens when you need your high beams quickly. But again, it's a personal choice.
@@PaulPomerleau I appreciate the information.
Sir, thank you for this video. I struggled for 20 minutes trying to pop that screwed in clip until I got fed up and watched your video. Didn't realize I had to remove the metal clip first! I felt dumb, but I appreciate you taking the time to upload this for all of us dummies.
If my rpm on my Honda hrn 216 is too low how can I adjust it? It is currently at 2,800 rpm’s I would like it to be at 3,180 rpm’s for a better cut quality. I’ve already sharpened the blades and clean the deck and I am currently not happy with the cut quality.
You have to bend slightly the Governor Spring Tab. Right will increase the governor spring tension and the engine speed. Left with decrease the governor spring tension and the engine speed. See figure 3-21 in the service manual.
Thank you 👍👍
Well done sir! Thank you!
How often do I need to change the oil on this lawn mower?????? Anybody know?
The manual says the very first 5 hour mark or after the first month of use, then every 50 hours or every 6 months after that.
@@PaulPomerleau thanks for the info bro
Will engine check light on?
If your O2 sensors have 4 wires, (I think they are only on 2015 and later models). 2 of wires will be for heaters which is monitored by the ECU and will throw a light if not detected. You will either have to disconnect the single black sensor wire from the harness and leave the heater wires alone, or unplug the sensor all together and replace with a bypass plug which is available online. Hope this helps.
My CubCadet LT46 has an elapsed time meter to indicate when to do what. With a full pressure oil system and filter, it greatly improves the oil's service life and keeps the engine internals clean. For powered lawn/generator equipment, my gear receives oil changes at the end of the season to have a fresh oil installed for storage. BUT, all things considered, spend the whopping 5-7 bucks per quart for Valvoline 10W-30 FULL SYNTHETIC, (OR 24 dollars for FIVE QUARTS), and change yearly.... Don't be so ^nal that you fret for being 4/10 of an hour over the "schedule".... Once a year - Just do it....
You must be an American. For the rest of us in the world, it is either not available in our location, or very expensive. I will stick with what the manual says, thank you very much.
Came across your video while trying to make a decision about what bike to use as a tow vehicle for my motorcycle camper that I inherited and you made my decision for me. The CCT has the simplest install I’ve seen for a hitch. Will be contacting the maker on FB soon. Do you have any idea what the tow rating is of the hitch? Stay safe!!!!
I have only towed lightweight cargo trailers for tent camping and such, or connected a metal rack onto it for a cooler. The seller of the hitch would probably be able to give you better numbers. Thanks for watching and be safe.
Smart man. Have all the good tips. Perfect concise video. Thanks!
Get the puck off the ice !!
Thank you so much. You are a great teacher. God bless.
I thought alexa going ti repair 😢😢
5 hours, ruh roh haha
Honda says the very first oil change should be at 5 hours. After that, every 50 hours.
@@PaulPomerleau oh phew I definitely did that, the break in. I’m on sustainability now haha
Thanks, I got stuck doing this, your pointers were very valuable.
Awesome video thanks man
Is it the same direction to tighten on both sides of the bike?
For the adjusters? Yes.
Well done video. Clearly explained, right to the point. Thank you!
Thanks a lot, this video helped so much
Thank you for this video. Helped point me in the right direction to fix the throttle cancel.
Great video👍 what jack are you using? Thank you 😎
This one is the basic motorcycle jack from Canadian Tire, but lots of other places sell the same one.
@@PaulPomerleau Thank you, I've just purchased a Craftsman that had only been used twice. Getting ready to cut a 3/4-in piece of wood. We had just picked it up and was a little unsure on jacking the bike up.. I think your video will help me immensely especially going in at an angle and adding that block of wood, again thank you very much 👍👍😎
Great tip but theres a problem.... I live in Brazil, no pucks around....
What motorcycle tire changing machine is that? Link?
It comes from Harbor Freight Tools. Tire changer www.harborfreight.com/manual-tire-changer-58731.html you also need the motorcycle adapter that they used to sell but I don't see it anymore.
Didn't work. Got 5/8" ID and 3/4" OD clear tubing about same length as in video. It was a tight fit to get it into the tank once past the opening and would only go in toward right and rear of tank. Wouldn't go into tank and other way. It got about 1/2 gallon out and stopped. The tank (4.5 gallons) was completely full, having filled it to the rim for winter storage - hasn't been de-winterized/ridden yet. Tried everything, including putting bike up straight, not on side stand. No luck. I can see gas looking toward left inside tank but can't access it with tube. Will try thinner tube tomorrow or just take tank off with gas left in it - it's an '09 Sportster and has gas valve that shuts off gas flow automatically if detach gas line. Good thing! If anyone has any ideas about what's going on or any suggestions it would be most welcome. Thanks
hi Paul, l want to remove all rear brakes component on my 2014 vision, I want to disconnect the 2 middle banjo bolts from the 2 front brake calipers. would this introduce air bubbles in the the front calipers?
Hey Mate, use a funnel to fuel up the oil... ...it's mutch easer!
Interesting and informative. Where in Canada? Unless you're coastal BC you can only motorcycle 4 or 5 months a year. Lots of time to wrench and polish.
should preface this video by saying it didn’t work!
This is great ! You've eliminated all my concerns about doing this. Thank you so much.
Thank for this great video. So easy!
Imagine getting used engine oil in the home vacuum cleaner. Explain that to the wife.
This video is 11 years old and it’s still the best on KZread! Thank you for the straight forward explanation.
super great video. Did exactly what you did. You made it a breeze in a short concise vid with excellent information. Thank You. Subbed.
Excellent ❤
Outstanding video - brief, and a couple of great tips too for a clean and efficient oil change. Just picked up my HRN 216 yesterday. Thanks for making this video.
I just bought an HRX217 electric start with recoil backup. Since I do simple repairs myself and anticipating an inevitable rope failure (they used the smallest starter rope I've ever seen), I needed this information. It's not an obvious removal and you're video was invaluable. Thank you.
I have exactly the same jack as you …but mine doesn't lower completely 🤔
Great video presentation thank you.
thanks paul, just replaced my one in connection with your tutorial....thank you....
Hello Paul and thanks for the video. I used it when I changed my first tire. Thinking I am going to try dark side on next tire. How close to the stock tire size is the Bridgestone you used? Slightly wider ? Overall rolling circumference same ? Wondering if speedo will be out at all. Thanks
I have never noticed any difference on the speedometer. This is the tire size that everyone on a XC uses, so it must be about the same circumference as the motorcycle tire.
how about check engine?
What about it?
Thank you
Great video! I wish I'd seen this last year when the rear brake pressure switch failed. It would have saved me some time and money.
😂 how did you make not fixing the tv last for two videos? I'm gutted LOL I thoroughly enjoyed the laugh. I'm telling my boss to just toss it, make the table wider, and get a new one lol! Well done 😂
Lol I looked all over the underneath and sides for a drain plug. Thanx for the video
Thanks, great tutorial, clear simple instructions, including the nice safety tip securing the nitrile glove over the fuel cap. I had the top cover off just to clear a snag in the pull start cord, everything assembled again and started first time. Works just the same with the Honda GCV x 145
Great job Made it easy
