I can hear the guy "this mower doesn't cut for sh*t". Smh. Reminds me of the guy that came into Lowes complaining a chainsaw didn't cut. The chain was on backwards.

@billsmith1770 Год назад

had a push mower that would try to run each spring , like this one . removed air cleaner , started and immediately placed my hand over carb to completely plug it . creates a lot of vacuum , and pulls (if possible) little clogs out of carb . worked at each spring 1st start for several years for me . bought a rider from a neighbor , both blades had been upside down since new , but his yard always looked nice . go figure .

@TheDeadMan3848 Год назад

I had a mower for years, it cut great, decided to sharpen the blade on year. Sure enough the blade was on backwards since new 😆.

@mikespain8655 Год назад

I see a few upside down blades from customers each year. Spring is right around the corner, so glad!

@doublewide6 Год назад

I am ready too.

@snowking55 Год назад

Nice job Bob. I'm glad to see you clean the carb the right way, take it off. So many just drop the bowl and think this will solve there problem. With it surging it definitely needed a good cleaning. With the price of today's mowers hopefully people will start fixing them, rather than toss in the trash and get a new one. This will be good for you!

@bertgrau3934 Год назад

The biggest problem with just about any small engine, is the carburetor/fuel system. I had a leaf blower I used 1 season, in 2010, sat until I retired in 2022. I replaced the carburetor, fuel lines, filter, air filter and spark plug, and the primer bulb. Now, it starts on the 2nd or 3rd pull, it idles great , I had to adjust the carburetor after I got it warmed up. And it runs great. One thing I have found working on small engines, always use good name brand spark plugs. Some of the cheap China plugs are junk when new. I have found NGK, or Champion are best. That's just my opinion. Sir you did a very good job, probably saved the guy a few bucks, and now he should have a good dependable mower. .

@daverivas1267 Год назад

When I do carb work on these engines, I pull the recoil starter/shroud off to aid in taking the auto choke linkage off. The plastic end slides right off a stud. Try it next time. Great video.

@knighthawk86855 Год назад

Worked on quite a few of the runsnomore chonda clone, when they run, they run well, but like you mentioned, you can't get internal parts for it, not one of my favorite engines to work on. When I saw the condition of the blade I laughed, I run into that all the time in my area, must be in the water LMAO, great video as always.

@MazichMusic Год назад

I bought a cub cadet sc 500z mower with the caster wheels up front in July 2019. It has performed flawlessly and I have no complaints. I do remember when shopping for this at the dealer, they had a Toro next to it with the same engine. There are probably other brands using these Asian engines...

Lol. I've got a 5hp Briggs pusher as my backup. Looks like it was pulled out of a lake. Still fires up runs.

@KensSmallEngineRepair Год назад

My fav was a guy who said the mower was hard to pull and wouldn't start. i pulled back the bale and she fired right up. He said "what's that thing?" I said the brake/kill bale/lever. He said no one told him he had to pull that back to start it. He brought the owners manual with him and on page 3 it showed a starting procedure including a picture of pulling back the bale. He said, oh, I didn;t read that far into the manual! Idiot. $20 dollar idiot diagnosis fee!

@TheOutdoorPowerGuy Год назад

The engine is made by Zhongshen for MTD and branded whatever brand the mower is, Cub Cadet, Troy-Bilt, Craftsman etc.. all the parts lookup and parts go through MTD with MTD part numbers. Also that blade is incorrect, NEVER use a universal style blade on MTD push mowers, the outer grooves are too wide and will spin off the bowtie center and the locking nubs on the blade adapter, correct blade is a 942-0741A - lucky that the blade didn't fly off. at my shop if i find an incorrect part that poses a safety risk such as a wrong blade, i'll replace it with the correct one.

@pattayperformance Год назад

That’s a powermore engine and I would work on those any day of the week compared to a Honda. If Honda would just stud there carbs on like copy cats it would be easier to work on. I stead you have dance with 50 gaskets, intake, carb, bracket and air filter all at the same time. The blade you took off is not the OG Blade it’s one of those aftermarket universal blades. I treat those carbs just like a snowblower and open up the pilot jet. With new self propelled lawn mowers are $450 you are going to see a lot customers who will pay to fix their machines vs replacing them. I’m working on a Snapper LT200 on the channel. When I’m done thinking $800-$1k bc new tractors are $2k plus. It’s freezing out…you have the heat on and dressed to for it. Your son is playing basketball in shorts 🤣

@adnacraigo6590 Год назад

Good video but I would have liked to see you take the top cover and flywheel nut off so you could view the condition of the key.

@atibbs14 Год назад

Popping the top off would also have helped him remove the carb. Choke arm connects to to air vane under there and is easier to remove than at the carb.

@doublewide6 Год назад

@mc2whls Год назад

Grind the "chamfer" off the socket for more bite. Double nut and pull at least one stud at carburetor.

@doublewide6 Год назад

both good tips. Thanks

@thebigwhitehorse6228 Год назад

...wedge a 2x4 under the blade and let the outside end of the 2x4 rest on the edge of the deck...the blade won't turn...you'll have an extra hand to work with......and you won't risk cutting your hand while holding the blade......Cool vid!....👍

@billmalec Год назад

Have the SC500. Engine has been great. No start is usually that fuel filter coming out of the tank. It gets plugged very easily. Best to remove it and put an inline filter in it. Auto choke is the dumbest thing ever. Ever. Stripping? Don't tell me you say that too! 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ Stripping is threads. ROUNDING is... Well... rounding the head.

@gregkersey6106 Год назад

Yup, thats usually a problem, fuel filter under fuel line going into fuel tank.

@waynestefinashen239 Год назад

Looks like a universal blade on this mower, we have many coming in that will not sit properly located on the 2 round pin sections of the blade adaptor since the elongated slots are not spaced enough so customers just jam them on and they are not sitting flat to the adaptor. You want proper installation and no problem cutting plus safety use the appropriate blade not a universal!

@doublewide6 Год назад

Yup I hear that

@johnmilner7603 Год назад

My carb was acting up on my 8hp-26” snowblower from 1985 so I took it apart and ran it through my ultrasonic cleaner with a 3:1 mix of water/simple green HD purple. Ran like new afterwards and I only use Shell Premium fuel with 0% ethanol.

I usually fix at least one mower a year with the blade on the wrong way. My neighbor has one of those mowers rotting away in his lawn. I didn't want it when offered, not even for parts. There are some people that are better off hiring their lawn done for them but whatever. I make money fixing stupid.
