This video saved me, I was cutting the lawn and the drive stopped working so I was going to take it back since I just bought it but I was out of my 30 days. I registered to warranty and they wanted $49 to look at and anything additional if warranty didn’t cover. I watched this and took it apart and it was a little piece of a stick that jammed the belt. Thanks for this.

You were the only video that mentioned pulling the throttle cable off to allow the transmission to swing down to access the pulley. This was the key to allowing me to successfully get the 2 piece pulley apart. So much simpler than trying to blindly put on a crescent wrench and socket as I saw in other videos. Thanks!

Thanks for the video. Liked how easy it was for you to get off the hub assembly! In the end I resorted to using my harmonic balancer. The hub was on there so tight it bent the frame but it was a cheapo chinese one and I will try and bend back straight. Will definitely be adding some anti seize on the hub when I put it together!

@IFIXIT4U 2 месяца назад

Cool, thanks

@edmondor5408 7 дней назад

Just one tip: if you reach under there and the belt won’t move then it’s either pinched in the pulley, off the pulley, has a stick stuck, etc. You should be able to turn the belt easily using your hands.

Are mowers these days just garbage? I think i paid almost 500 dollars for this mower at home depot. I have only had it only 2 years. Half acre i cut. Every two weeks in spring and summer. Carb has already gummed up that i had to fix and now the self propel is out. Never had a mower i have to fix so much. Thank you for the video. It is very helpful.

@DKLabs99 2 месяца назад

I’ve had mine since 2016 and no issues. I use ethanol free gas though

@cjbiron77 2 месяца назад

Some states only sell fuel with ethanol now, it's terrible for small engines

@ThaddeusJBrown Месяц назад

Trick for the carb is to run it out of gas at the end of the summer for winter storage. Start the mower, turn the fuel valve off on the side to cut gas from going to the carb. Let it run till it dies. Try and restart and do that till it won't restart. Then dump the remaining fuel out of the mower. Then go ahead and store it. For the self propelled I'm not sure as I have never had an issue from it. I find these Honda are abit slower then I like though.

Great video. Only real issue I had was socket wouldn't fit over hub bolt--had to remove blades. Hub didn't "slide" off as easy as yours. Impact wrench a must. Pay attention feeding belt back through to center to not get a twist in it. Should be obvious if you do; belt probably won't go onto center pulley unless you really really force it 🙂

I can mow without engaging the self propelled lever just fine but when I do use it there is smoke coming from the back left hand side where the transmission is. you have any idea what is wrong?

I didn’t see an obvious way to tighten the tension, any idea what I could do or check to fix it? Thanks

We have had our Honda for about 6 months now and the belt seems extremely loose...if I lift wheels off and engage transmission wheels will spin but not enough torque to pull when on ground...would this not be covered in Honda warranty at least send you a new belt?

@IFIXIT4U 11 месяцев назад

Most OEMs will not warranty belts because they are normal wear parts. Going back to the place of purchase for help asap when a problem comes up is your best chance. They may cover the belt if there was another issue causing the belt to slip. Like a bad engage cable or stuck wheels etc. Thank you and good luck.
