I figured out after making the video that its a 1993 after calling honda. Really nice mower being its 31 years old. Subscribe, one of the next videos Im going to cut some overgrown grass and really put it through its paces.
I like watching your inpromptu work on this mower. I own one just like it & received it on a trade for a DIxon Zero turn mower which was falling apart every time I used it. I LOVE this little mower & have had it for 12 years & it has required almost NO maintenance. I keep oil & air filter clean & battery in good working order & it just keeps on going. I accidently turned it over & broke the key off in the ignition, so I do need to put a new ignition switch on it because half of the key is stuck in the switch. I ordered a new switch today. I may not be able to install it myself because it looks like the whole shell probably has to come off to do that, but there's a repair shop nearby that will do it for me if necessary. Thanks for allowing us to watch your troubleshooting tactics in live action with this little gem of a mower. If I knew I lived in the same town as you, I'd offer to buy it because it looks to me like it's almost brand new or not been used much at all. I would love to have it! ;) It's my understanding Honda no longer sells mowers in the USA. That's so strange to me. I would buy a Honda riding mower in a heartbeat today if they did. Enjoy your very nice find young man & thanks for posting this video!
At 48:26, what is the part that you tapped with the "encourager"? I'm just curious for future reference. It's just amazing that the "encourager" activated something & the starter showed signs of life. LOL! ;)
