Thanks for info. FYI antisieze is your friend for steel to aluminum, a dab will do ya. I would even put some on the crankshaft and fly wheel. Almost guarantees you will never have to take that apart again. I am fooling with a Kohler 25 HP that just will not die.
My sanborn 30 gal oilfree compressor since day one. Would start up fill up but when needing to start with it would just bog then trip the circuit breaker of the house. Of every time i needed more air to work i have empty the tank and start from empty. Now after all this time it will not make it to cut off b4 triping the breaker. Check value is ok. Pressure switch system functioned normally. Only things i could think of was the wire gauge difference between the outlet cord and motor leads, motor has thinner wires, or the motor is self. This video was helpful about the capacitors.
@@outdoorpowertech7738 Perfect, thank you. I'm about to do the same. Changed unloader valve, check valve, dismantled manifold and pressure switch, but the problem seems to be the start capacitor. I don't like throwing parts, but the process of elimination..... Thanks again.
@@outdoorpowertech7738 thank for getting back to me. I was looking at some bronze ones with The Hillman Group but think their thickness (3/16") is too thick to fit in the control arms. I agree, hate they used plastic.
Do you know the part number to the return spring on your throttle and the governor linkage you were fighting with that connects up to where the spring does also? 7:22
Time stamp 2:00 I mentioned it wasn’t a tutorial video. It was an engine I was restoring on the side and figured I’d share. Maybe one day I’ll do I full tutorial on these engines.
Solved my questions about how to change it. I changed it on a replacement starter that was only a year old. For some reason this one had the curved washer in the other direction from yours. I decided to put it back the same way it came off. It's working great. Maybe it doesn't matter but I would put it back whichever way it came off. Before I reassembled, I squeezed the C clip a little so it fit in the hole. I see why you say 6 point socket... It has a better curved area to grab the clip but was still able to get it on far enough. I suspect some sockets may not work due to their design at the end? BTW, I used a 3/8". I wish there was one a little smaller but the next size down was too small. It took quite a few tries. Several times I created burrs on the top of the shaft which I had to file off to get the cap off and on. I think I was afraid to hammer hard enough the first few times. Although I used a socket, I can see a possible advantage to needle nose since it's easier to see. However, it's also easier to have it pop into Neverland. I tried the bag idea but was unable to see well enough. After it finally popped on I did not like how the clip seemed to show more which had me concerned. I fixed that by pulling up hard on the cap until the clip compressed a little more and slipped into the hole. I did not sand or lube the shaft since it was not rusty. I DID put a thin layer of silicone grease in the tracks of the white spiral part. Not sure if that will attract dirt but hoping it will assure things pop back cleanly and reduce wear?? The bracket on mine is quite different. It appears to be a casting of some kind and probably more brittle than the one shown. I clamped it to adjustable platform of a drill press at just the right height to also rest the bottom (beside the shaft end, not on it) on a block of wood to take the strain of hammering. I saw someone say they were going to do it in place on the mower, but I would not recommend that since you have to hammer fairly hard. I would worry about possibly damaging the engine casting or the bracket. IMHO. Thanks so much for your video!
have you ever heard of putting "poor man's power steering" on a riding mower? that's where you take a thrust needle washer, sandwich it between two regular washers, and install it on the spindle below the front axle. Is there a point on that TB30R where a thrust needle washer would help with the steering?
@@outdoorpowertech7738 ya I saw one video where a guy demonstrated he could turn the steering wheel with one finger just like a mower with real power steering. I've only seen that used on lawn tractors so far. Don't know if it can be used on that smaller riding mower or not.
The rings I try to get oem its just hard sometimes on these old engines. Gaskets aftermarket. I’m a Stens dealer so I get a lot through them. All new stuff I use oem unless it’s 2 cycle crap lol.
First of all thank you for this videoI. I am trying to follow your video to adjust my Governor on YTH 22v46 Husqvarna (22HP Briggs & Stratton engine. Following your example but no luck. Every time I start engine it rev's real high so I have to immidiately to shut down before it goes in full overspeed and destroys it's self. What is my next step? Take engine a part and inspect/replace governor? Or any other suggestions... Thank you again for your video and any help is very much appriciated.
thanks for your video. I found this black plastic piece that looks like it slides into the slot above the air filter. It looks perfect to keep dust out of the spark plug chamber but it only fits 99,8888% it will not ooch in to allow the orange cover to fit. What is strange is there is a slot for this to slide into.Thanks again and have a blessed day
Nice video, even shows how the ball bearing goes on. I've seen videos where the fork end is worn out. Mine is the same as OneCloudyDayAL. Fixing mine soon, thanks for the help, great video.
The capacitor with a plastic housing is always the start capacitor (the most dangerous one) it's in a plastic housing so when it pops shrapnel doesn't fly everywhere.

Very informative video and step by step instructions. With the quality of our gasoline and infrequent use of seasonal equipment, I needed to perform this repair and your tutorial was perfect. Thank-you!
Thanks for the video....I have a problem with a V Briggs where I slackened off the govenor lever to gain access to put new springs on and now it only revs high...I believe ive tried many combinations and the engine revs high still...any thoughts?
@@outdoorpowertech7738thanks, I visually matched the springs as correct and were bought from a garden machinery supplier using the engine numbers...the governor spindle clicks left and right like in your video when loosened off....il try again with your approach
