First time watcher here who is very green in terms of mower maintenance. (Or any kind of maintenance for anything that has an engine, for that matter.) I came across your video when I was searching for some basic tune-up instructions for our Toro walk-behind, and you have been a LIFE 👏🏻 SAVER 👏🏻 ! Especially when I had to disconnect the carburetor to clean it out. Still not finished with the job since I broke a very old fluid bowl gasket, but I really hope to have an improved mower once everything is reattached! 🤞🏻 Thanks again for a great video! 10/10 ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ 100% satisfaction Yada yada yada…

You are the man, if I would try that I would expletive deleted it up! I just finished cleaning underneath my 2007 Super Recycler with a scraper, hose and scouring pad and a blower for the top and sides of it, I have not done that for years. Maybe the Personal Pace will work a little better next time I try it. We have a drought in Kenosha WI the grass is just not growing and it is to expensive to water it for hours. You sure do give good reviews. If I had your email address I could send you a short video of my Lawn Mower.

Those autochoke briggs quantums are so nice when functioning properly. Primer ones overtime warp and never prime again unless you double up the gaskets or use tape to seal the air vein. For the primer style carbs briggs makes a revised cover made out of a harder ABS plastic. Part# 795259

Do you ever worry about the RPM feed if it's too low or too high? And how would you measure or validate that or adjust it?

Hey back in service. Not really unless one one has adjusted them previously. I would just hook up an hour meter/rpm meter to the spark plug wire. That would give you a good read out! 👍 enjoy the rest of your weekend my friend!
