I don’t know if you realize it or not but I do believe these engines are all test ran at the factory that’s why they have residual oil in them to start with
I have to appreciate the fact that you went down a RU-vid wormhole I call it the same thing. I bought a hrn series with the blade clutch three years ago. Excellent mower
I ordered mine from the opposite of Southern Tool for a better price than the big box stores and got it delivered for free. It's a nice mower. Honda is king in that market IMO. Thanks for the video!
I think only the HRX model lets you go between mulch and bag on their lever (purposely anyway). Maybe that works leaving it between the two on the HRN, I don't know. Seems like it would just end up sliding to one or the other. I just got one of these yesterday, but have been watching a lot of videos and saw that mentioned somewhere else. Good video. Nice and to the point. Thanks.
Did you ever build an engine? It's called a break in. Modern vehicles no longer require it so it has been long forgotten. This engine is basically old tech like an engine from the 80's.
