@paulattanasio3061 2 года назад

Nice but the only suggestion I have is the order of doing things. I do basically everything you just did but in this order : Drain the fuel and run the mower dry. While the engine is still warm, drain the oil. Now here is where I differ. Now that you have No Fuel AND No Oil in the mower, NOW is a better time to flip it over to clean, sharpen blades remove wheels, etc. BEFORE adding oil back into the machine. This way you really don't have to worry about which way your flipping it and I also remove the spark plug and put some oil in it before I put it to top dead center. Just my way/order of doing it. Leave the oil refill for last.

@GarageGear 2 года назад

@smallblock412 2 года назад

That's a great lawn mower. My mower is a Craftsman branded Murray that was picked up from the curb that somebody was getting rid of. Had a sign on it that said "free, won't start". I opened up the air box and the filter was so full of dirt and grass clippings the engine couldn't breathe. With no air filter it started in 2 pulls. Did the basic maintenance to it and I'm still using that machine today. This was back in 2013 when I rescued it. I'm still amazed at people who buy things and then don't try to even learn how to properly take care of them. $5 for a filter but they'd rather go and buy a whole new lawn mower 🤦

@GarageGear 2 года назад

Blows me away too my friend! I picked up a leaf blower out of the trash when I was on a walk with my wife. Got it home put gas in it and it started right up. Sold it for $60. Crazy what people get rid off and don’t even bother fixing. This Honda rocks.

Right? It literally takes at the most 15 min on RU-vid to search why lawn mower won't start? Search that and 150+ videos pop up showing how to fix it. Hell even how to turn it into a full blown 8000hp push mower. Instead, they curb it for people like us to safe them

Im from Melbourne Australia, and I have never done anything to park my lawnmower or weed whacker for winter . I’ve never drained petrol , engine oil or put any petrol stabiliser in the fuel tank. I’ve never ever had any issues my equipment have always started easy. I’m guessing our fuel in Australia must be of better quality. The fuel is often 1 year old and I don’t have any issues with starting or performance.

@GarageGear 5 месяцев назад

@Slowrex123 5 месяцев назад

@@GarageGear It’s summer over here in Australia at the moment and I’m still using fuel that that I bought last summer. I have a 60 yr old B&S lawnmower yes 60 yr old . and have a Stihl fs45 weed whacker . I find it bizarre that over in the USA you guys run into so many issues if you don’t winterize your equipment. In Melbourne our grass goes dormant for 3 months in winter so we don’t start cutting grass until spring. It might be a combination of the quality of the fuel and that our temperatures rarely drop below 32c Fahrenheit . A typical winter night will sit around 42c.

Another great vid! I do almost the same as you do, but after draining the fuel, I'll add some TrueFuel and let it run on that for a few minutes. Make sure ALL of that crap ethanol gas is out. And just a suggestion........ grab yourself one of those hand siphon pumps (the tube with the squeeze ball in the middle.) Siphon out all of the gas in the tank, and then you only need to run it for a minute or less until it stalls out. 👍

I’ve learned a lot from you and I’ve noticed over the last couple of years of following your steps on small engines that they run a lot better and start up first pull of the season. I’m curious as to what your thoughts are on “engine storage spray” ? Do you think it’s a waste of money/time? I’ve been using it but sometimes wonder if it’s more of a money grab/scam.

Just a followup on my previous comment, asking for cleaning videos.. Is this the "only" cleaning you do - when you winterize - or do you do regular cleaning as well?
