I picked the same mower couple weeks ago from Habitate for Humanity. A male decided to start looking at it while i was already. I felt pressure to buy it because it was light weight and small . A week later i added gas and it started. I noticed there was no oil dip stick and it had a filter. Now im afraid to use it because i dont know how to care for it. The filter is slightly damp not much. Can you help me please to understand what i need to do to protect the motor?
Hello.. it's not mentioned because a damaged or worn-out gasket would only leak fuel..the bowl isn't under a vacuum. The bowl bolt I cleaned in the video is a jet. It pulls fuel like a straw would up to the emulsion tube. If the gasket does leak fuel , the float in the bowl would only continue to allow fuel in from the needle and seat..in saying that,as you say I have seen many dry and damaged bowl seals..so always a great idea to change if it's needed..I do appreciate your comments ..Thank you for your reply!
Great video. Thanks for sharing. My 16 year old hayward super pump has a small leak from underneath. How do I know if it isn't just a bad diffuser gasket, or house seal pate gasket, as opposed to a bad seal? Nothing has ever been changed.
I notice on these videos no one shows how to connect the the water inlet from the motor to the pump, it is quite tricky, Makes me suspect that alot of these videos are made by people who buy junk outboatds amd just pretend to fix them to make a video, and then take the outboard to the scrape metal dealer. Fake video.
I was lucky enough to score a used mower of this type on a trading website recently. Exactly what I needed to replace my old one which died when the blade hit a hidden piece of concrete at the bottom of my section (bent the crankshaft to the point where the blade bolt couldn't be undone). I spent half a day restoring my lucky find - it was pretty well looked after anyway; even the under chassis muffler was still without a hole in it. I am well familiar with repairing these. My section is heavily sloped and a 4-stroke simply won't cut it if you know what I mean. And it has the old-style U-shaped handle that I like and a lightweight aluminium chassis to boot. It will last me for the rest of my life. It is brilliant. The only thing is the petrol tank (same as the one in the video) is smaller than the previous one had. Oh and one other thing; it has a choke setting on the carb - none of these wretched plastic bulb primers that perish and crack.
Didn't replace top seal or the large "o"ring on top of impeller housing that was left off by previous owner or another shade tree mechanic.Half Assed fix.Shows a little knowledge is dangerous...
Dear what is the purpose of the keeper underneath the linkage gearbox joint. I lost the nylon tapered keeper can I replace it with a small O ring please so the linkage nut will not slip off? Thanks in advance, very informative video
thanks for the great video, very helpful. problem is a new gearcase is prohibitively expensive, and hiring a shop to do it, it will cost more than a new tiller.
Not so good. The key areas (bottom tapping the flywheel, the kill contact problem) are mostly or completely skipped over, but we do get a nice tutorial on turning nuts & bolts.
Hello young lady..I just got back from there, was there last few days..I could see your replys but signal is very poor up there..so couldnt reply back..Glad to hear you are both doing well.!! Lets get caught up soon..be safe!!

That was awesome , Im very mechanically inclined, but have never done this, and actually have to repl the pump strainer housing ( cracked/old), I see this isnt too difficult, will heed to the cautions as well, NICE JOB!
Busted the pull rope on this exact same machine. A friend had at it, put the rope back in place, and now the rope is loose and machine won't start. Doesn't retract all the way either. Use to start on one or two pulls. Now nothing. What could be causing this
