Darn it - my cord ripped off of this exact mower and needed to see how to get to that part and thought I finally had success! Haha

Thanks for sharing. I have cleaned several small engine carbs but did not understand exactly how the float functions as the inlet valve.

Have been using my router bearing set as you're showing for years now. Works great. No vibration in my mower.

Hello, great video. I have a question. I replaced the traction cable on my toro 20017. And now my back tires are spinning backwards. Did I do something wrong? And how can I fix it.any suggestions would be great.

Wow. I did this with the 5 screws holding the baffle in. Left the handle hardware alone. Took 3 minutes.

👍🏼

Initially I had my doubts but you are resourceful, patient and have spare parts so yes it was worth it. You also did a good job!

Whats the mixture for gas and oil in it? Mine looks like regular gas

What size carburetor can you buy for them mine is getting bad

Thanks. Was unsure if that jet would come out. Idle screw too. Up and running like new. Thanks for posting.

Will be doing this same repair as soon as I receive the new baffle. Thanks for your video.

Nice job god bless

Please show how you changed the oil.

The screw on mine isn't grabbing anymore. I can turn it in and once I press the trigger, the screw pops back out. Do you know if its a easy fix? Thanks.

You film cleaning the grass out of the pulley housing but not the actual belt install etc.

Remove gas and oil from rototiller

Thank you brother you're awesome

You may have considered mentioning that once tdc on compression stroke is found, you may want to block blade or flywheel so engine doesn't turn once air is induced. But, great video Thanks.

Late but what cc does the cylinder have? Srry if i missed you mentioning it

Moving the carb around probably moved a stuck float valve

I on a whim bought the battery and installed it. All I got was the motor spinning. Watched your video and exposed the starter and gears. blew out the dirt. Hit it with some WD40 pressed the blue button and golly gee the engine cranked. Watching the video was helpful in knowing to remove the gas tank for better exposure. Thanks for the help. $18 from Amazon and I got electric start mower. Course it always starts with just one slight pull of the cord but hey.

Your video is awesome! I'm a single lady and have no way to get my mower to a shop,so thanks to you I fixed it myself. Thanks so much!!

What is the part number for the entire drive wheels the rear wheels

Good, you put the patch on the "inside" of the catcher material - that's the side with air-pressure and grass-weight pressing on it?? Outside patches have a greater tendency to get blown or knocked off. In my view, patches are best when they have rounded edges, not corners <= small surface areas of corners have a tendency of lifting-off? Brant should have either sniped-off non-bonded corners or added more glue & again waited for setup.

OMG ! ML too the DH at the MP ! Run Marvel Mystery Oil threw the crankcase about a quarter cup. Run for 20 minutes,flush, refill with oil. Or? Tear your mower apart as the PROFESSOR describes and take 2 hours. I ain't saying what I said works all the time,but for us old farts we know Marvel Mystery Oil is just that. ...A Mystery

The tape is factory installed.

You had oil contaminated by fuel - as shown at the beginning of your video, this would make the oil thinner and more likely to splash out the crankcase vent. Changing the oil is likely the real repair here- and the oil burning was caused initially by the bad seat and needle in the old carburetor. Thanks for sharing your repair.

What did you use to clean/unclog that little drain hole?

Thanks, I needed to know how to get the cover off.

Clear and helpful. Thank you.

Can't clean my carb, don't have two different color gloves.😂😂😂😅😊

I think I have solved this one. John Deere have replaced the Briggs and Stratton needle and seat from the B&S original. The JD one is white plastic, the B&S one is brass. They may have a different material for the tip. What happens, I think, is that the JD substitute is too light, so it is more prone to sticking closed. I discovered with numerous stoppages that all I had to do was loosen the float bowl and reattach, and this would clear the problem for a while. Order a replacement needle direct from Briggs and Stratton, not JD or their dealers. That will ensure you get the brass one. I have never had a repeat of the problem since I installed the brass needle. Either the JD substitute has too sticky a tip, or is too light, or both. And the B&S needle is cheaper! And that's for the thorough analysis, which I followed to isolate the problem!

Bad fuel shut off valve sticking closed and or needle valve sticking closed because of fuels. Best to install inline fuel shutoff valve right after the tank if mounted high on mower. Turn off fuel allow mower to run out of gas. Turn on fuel before starting again and that should resolve the problem. As long as you keep the fuel from sitting in the carb and bowl.

I did this with my honda..bolt came loose aswell. Still runs

Very Helpful Thank the Lord and Your Video !!!...God Bless !!!

There is a small, thin washer that came with the small, plastic, black gear that attaches to the crankshaft. In putting things back together and assuming working on this engine upside down as you have it here, would you happen to know if that washer would sit on top of the gear or on the bottom? Thanks!

your video is a 100% of what i had gone threw . I just took off the bowl moved the float once by hand and it started working thanks for the info

Where did I put my new lines and filter? I gave $25.00for my 3300 Great instructions! No crapy music/ stories just the Facts Man

I recently got this mower it’s in great shape.Only issue is when you engage the pto to start mowing and proceed into grass that needs to be mowed it Stalls out for some odd reason.Any suggestions by chance I was thinking maybe belt needs more tension.Its feels loose when you touch it.Any feedback would be greatly appreciated

i am buying a real nice almost new poulan pro with a 17.5 hp motor ,you mean to tell me it has a PTO on it !

Mine does it every winter. The first year I took the carb apart and with the float and needle valve out of it I tried to blow through it and it was plugged solid. I took a piece of wire and poked it through the hole where the needle valve goes and didn't see much, but tried to blow again on the inlet and it was open. Ran all summer. Next year same thing. I looked closer the second time and found that there was a little bit of varnish from the gas going bad over the winter. Now I just plan on cleaning it every year and no problems.

Great fix. I have one of these engines that is really hard to pull start, and it almost feels like it wants to yank the rope out of your hands, like it has a sheared key or off time. If I do a quick torquey pull, it always starts first time, but I cant figure out why its so hard to pull with an engine so small. These are ideal for seniors, but they cant pull fast and hard enough so I haven't put it up for sale.. Ive already went through it twice, checking the key and valve clearance...everything seems great! Maybe this little guy has a compressions release and I possibly have adjusted it on the hump? Ill upload a video of it if your up for giving it a look?

Thanks for the video. I wish I found this when I was buying the used mower.I picked up because the guy told me.Oh it's just a little piece it's $8.00

Quick easy fix, well done

It would be a lot BETTER, if you ACTUALLY FLIP the lawn mower while doing the video. You showed two different machines, and for many people it would be better so they can understand it. The narrative was excellent. The explanation excellent.

Love your video's. Don't change a thing. Its so refreshing to find someone just sharing good information. Its dam near impossible to seach any RU-vid topic without clickbaits, extended channel intro's, obnoxious music, channel sponsors, requests for likes and subscribes, and 'entertaining' circumstantial diatribes.

Solid. Thanks man

Came here with a similar issue and your video helped me figure out the dipstick O-ring was the problem on mine. Thanks for taking the time to make this and post it.

Hi I am looking for the male fitting for that valve as it broke on my hose. Where in the UK did you find those parts? Do you have a part number maybe? Thx

The problem with the little gray one is you need it on a level area to start with. You need to clean off all the crummy grass with a wire wheel too. If not you are wasting your time. The bearings are a good idea but with the grass on it you are starting with a very unbalanced blade to start with. I like my balancer because you can take the 90 degree rod and check for bent blades too. I took four magnets off because off the width of the blades. I do all kinds of blades. Get the excess grass of and you won't hear and vibration or noise. Blades now are stamped out so fast that if that blade move on little bit during stamping its trash. Grab a brand new blade and put it on the balancer and see.
