Easy Riding Mower Spark Plug Test and Replacement | DIY Repair
In the lifetime of your lawnmower, it’s pretty likely that you’ll eventually encounter issues getting it fired up. One of the most common problems is an old spark plug that needs replacement. In this video, I’ll show you how to test your spark plug, set the proper gap on a new one, and install the replacement. I’m replacing the spark plug on a Murray riding mower (Briggs and Stratton engine), but the process is the same for other models - the only difference is the spark plug location. This is a super easy process that only takes a few minutes. I hope you enjoy the video!

Did you really need the brackets? I guess if someone was standing on it you might need them but for daily use, i don’t think so.
Initially I was concerned that it might warp without the brackets, but now that it’s been up for a while I think it would’ve held up fine.
I have a Murray also but I can’t tell from your video exactly where it is
Sorry about that, if you lift up the hood it’s on the very front center
Mine looks a little different than yours but I wanna make sure. I misplaced my users manual so I can’t look. ua-cam.com/users/shortssqsSLzwhhIM?si=f0eJrLlye3Iui6PU
ua-cam.com/users/shortssqsSLzwhhIM?si=f0eJrLlye3Iui6PU think mine is a little different than yours. I misplaced my owners manual and low on funds so I have to do this myself. Thank you for your help
Can you help? If I get one of these and screw into this location to fasten my book case to the wall how do I know it’s not a pipe etc? How do the experts do this
Great question! Some stud finders have more advanced features than mine does for detecting what’s behind a wall, but there’s a few things you can do to help avoid pipes without buying a more advanced one. First is noting the width of the object detected by the stud finder. A 2x4 stud will be approximately 1.5” thick. You can also check the distance to the next stud. Studs are generally spaced 16” apart (in the US) so that’s a pretty good indication as well. Depending on the age of your house, you can also sometimes see small circles on the wall that are drywall screws/nails. If you see those in a vertical line, that would also indicate a stud.
You did a great Job. Thanks🎉🎉
Thank you!
That elbow has one male end (the smaller end called a spigot) and one female end (the larger end called a socket).
How did you replace the nut so easily? I've been trying for a while and cannot get it out to replace it
What was the size ?
I’m not sure, but this is using the standard Ryobi replacement part for my trimmer model
Thank you! This was exactly what I needed!
Nice design, theoretically you don't need to 45 your french cleats, just use straight cuts and would be stronger that way as well.
Thanks!
I like the straight cut idea as well but the 45 degree angle takes out 1-2 more steps
Minus the strength of course
Love the Christ centered message------- and the shop Vac mod too. God bless you pal.
Thank you! God bless you too!
Thanks for the video! My issue is that when I turn on my shop vac, it sucks the rubber flaps together and doesn’t allow the dust to go in… Anyone have any suggestions on a good fix there?
I have the exact same problem! I took the flaps off and it’s definitely better, but I’m working on making some type of cheap funnel for the dust but haven’t found a great solution yet.
Some of these fuel filters have a directional arrow.
Yes, great point.
Actually it's a confusing issue. The more I looked into it there may not be a direction. Some have it and some don't. But the thing is if you put it in One direction and then you later on switch that direction. All the stuff you are trapping ends up on the other side and will flow freely into the carburetor. So from what I'm reading, if it doesn't have a direction arrow then if you take it off you take it off to replace it. Otherwise you could switch it and screw up the carburetor. That's my understanding right now
Oh christ! Pity some people can't share their skills without inflicting their religion on their viewers.
Thanks great job. Please what kind of wood you’re using what is the name . Appreciate.
Thank you - this is 2x12” pine!
Great video. Thank you for sharing. I’m curious to know what is your spacing between rows? How did you determine the distance between the rows? Thank you
Thank you! My spacing is approximately 22 inches. It wasn’t a very exact science haha, I think I just took the number of rows I wanted to have and spaced them evenly on the wall, which ended up being that spacing. If I were to do it again, I would probably cut each of the long strips in half longways (so they would be thinner) and add those extra strips in between - so instead of 5 strips spaced 22 inches it would be 10 strips spaced 11 inches apart. This would allow for more space for additional hooks and would be a better use of the material, since I don’t think the thicker pieces add much if any additional strength. The key thing to keep in mind is not to position them so close together that you can’t easily add and remove the french cleat, but that probably wouldn’t be a concern unless your spacing was 6” or less.
Thank you so much! What you said makes sense. Again, great video. I’ll be tackling this project soon.
Awesome, thank you!
Good tip, however you may want to consider putting a piece of sacrificial fence on the left side of your saw as well. Unless you are always working on the right side the saw you have no back support for the board over there. Just friendly advice, not trying to be negative. Good work
Thanks! That’s a great consideration and great point, it definitely is easier with a piece on that side as well.
What does the scripture verse have to do with changing a fuel filter for a lawn mower? Not helpful
Thx !
Good job amigo. Let me give you one pointer from an old carpenter.. cut your stop blocks about 1.5" thick minimum then turn them 90° from how you were fastening them and that will not want to split or be as fragile as fastening screws thru the crosscut.. just a minor pointer... Praise be to God, brother!
Thank you, and I appreciate the tip! God bless!
Great idea & video. I'm totally making this, & have great need for such a sanding option. If you don't have a locking contour gauge, but you do have no dry plastilina clay like me, you can use a thick slab of that that to get your contour cutout template, of an odd shape part, needed for a build.
Thank you! And great idea to use the clay!
Thanks for this.
Thanks for watching!
Love the Bible verse let God be praised in everything we do. great ramps an making a pair for me
Thank you so much, God bless!
Excellent tip! Sub’d
Thank you!
I can't believe I never tried this before. Great tip!
Thank you!
These commonly leak, So be sure to check for leaks after replacement.
Thanks! Great point
Yeah mass produced ""heavy duty plastic" car ramps make me nervous! as well as mass produced steel ramps with crappy tack welds made somewhere overseas. I made my own heavy duty jack stands from .25" and .375" steel. I modeled it after 22 ton jack stands. I'm gonna be making wood ramps just to keep the cost down. I wonder how much weight the wood type can support?
I’m totally with you on that, it’s not worth the risk getting under something that could fail. Nice, those sound super sturdy! I don’t know for certain what the weight it can support is, but I would feel very confident putting even the heaviest vehicle on top of these ramps. Since it’s solid material, I don’t see any easy way for it to fail as long as you’re on a level surface.
@@augustpineworkshop True....they're a solid block of wood. I have read of people making a frame work with wood and driving a vehicle on it.....I wouldn't do that.
Yeah, I would also be hesitant with that type of structure
Blocked because of your fictional book quote on screen. Keep your delusions to yourself.
Thought… make the brackets in one long strip then cut them?
Great idea! I’m working on some other french cleats and will definitely do that next time.
That hinge was a super clever way to do the retractable castors, props man What was with the random bible verse a couple seconds in though? Like im not complaining but the placement was just odd which made it hard to read, if you wanna rep your faith you should own it and make sure its clear and easy to read in my opinion
Thanks! And I really appreciate the feedback. I put a Bible verse in all of my full length videos and usually use edit those longer videos down into shorts. So in this case I just edited that section to be too short, so it ended up not being so easy to read. Definitely something I will keep in mind moving forward!
great idea
Thank you!
FYI Epsom salt works better.
Thanks, I will give that a try in the future
I am glad you are sharing what you learned, cleaning vinegar is only 10 % vs 30 % acidy like horticulture vinegar. The 30 percent will eat your sprayer in a few minutes. But the real issue with using vinegar over weed killer is that the vinegar kills every organism in the soil. I will have to find the university of Maryland study and put a link. People just over spray weed killer. I just use the hoe and scrap method. God bless keep up the good fight
That’s very interesting, thanks for sharing! If you’re able to find the study I would definitely like to read more. God bless you too!
A higher amount of salt will kill most things. But you need to be careful as Salt can damage concrete as well as leach out and kill other plants and soil.
Thanks for sharing, that’s a great point to consider!
That solution will only kill the leafy part of the weed. The chemical weed killers go down to the roots. I understand with little ones the be to cautious of what you use. God bless you.
Thanks! I did have some concerns about the long-term effectiveness of it and if it would truly kill the weeds, but after a few weeks it’s still kept the area pretty clear. There have been a few spots here and there that have sprouted up (which also happens with chemicals in my experience), but nothing too significant. God bless you too!
Just made the same ones but made a 4 inch backstop. Also went to my local skate shop and bought a few sheets of grip tape that I put on top. My old skating days finally paid off lol
Awesome, that’s a great idea to add the grip tape too!
I disliked your video because of the religious verse you posted in it. There is NO PLACE for that crap!
You will know it is not in eternity, but then it will be to late. I hope you find out soon.
Why? Even if you don’t believe…. Others do! Did it hurt you in any way? You should stay off you tube because your feelings get hurt to easy!
May God have mercy on your soul.
@@jamieritchey8680 YES it hurt me!! FUCK YOU!!
@@scotts8284 There ISN'T such a thing!! FUCK YOU!
Great information. Thanks I will try this soonest
Thank you!
You didn't explain if there is a correct why to put the filter on. Is there arrows on the filter or does it matter?
For this style of disc filter, it shouldn’t matter (assuming you’re replacing it with a new filter - if it’s a used one from another mower make sure you match the flow direction used previously to ensure you don’t send debris to your carburetor). If your mower has the larger fuel filter tube style, generally the flat end is on the side closest to the carburetor. Those types will usually have an arrow to indicate the proper installation direction. This particular filter does not have an arrow.
Has anyone tried attaching sander upside down to a vise?
I’ve never tried it myself but I have seen some other people do it, so that should work too!
Exactly what I was looking for - easy, not complicated and effective. Cheers!
Awesome, I’m glad it was helpful!
So who’s gonna tell him?
Drilled pilot holes and countersunk screws into 2x4's.. seems super excessive when you dont even have the bracing everyone else is talking about
Totally understand the concerns about the bracing - I plan to add brackets under each of the posts to improve this. The pilot holes and countersunk screws were both important for this build because they help to prevent splitting (since I was drilling into the end grain of the wood) as well as ensure that each of the vertical beams can sit flush with the wall. Thanks for watching!
You’re relying solely on the shear connection in the back kind of like a floating shelf. I would not put any serious weight on that until you brace the front of the 2x4 shelves
I’m going to agree with the other comments that you’ve underbuilt these shelves. Add a beefy bracket under each 2x4 to avoid a massive catastrophe
Thanks for your comment, I think this is probably the best move to ensure long term stability!
@@augustpineworkshop you must have to have done it that way… no worries dude, you and I have a lot more in common than our minor differences of opinion about adequate bracketage. Mad respect for your commitment to the build 👍🏻
Thank you!
Your design would work better if you had used some 4" or 5" Spax powerlags. Even then you have to watch the weight on 2x4's like that.
Need to put bracing out front too bud. You are relying on the tensile strength of the screws to support all that weight. Terrible idea.
The screw tensile strength would probably be OK, I think the weak link is that the screws are trying to hold the end grain. The wood will give out before the screws snap. I built a similar shelving unit in my garage, but drilled holes and glued dowels through the wide side 2" from the end to drive the screws through. That seemed much stronger to me. I could be wrong, but they're still holding multi-hundred pounds of weight after a few years.
I think that you’re right about the screws in the end grain. It’s held up well over the course of a couple years, but I will likely add brackets to improve the strength.
Your design is flawed
We need a video of "how to convince the wife"
Those screws will not last long without additional bracing.. disaster waiting to happen
My thoughts exactly!
Thanks for your comment! It’s held up well over the course of a couple years and also doesn’t have much weight on each individual bar when you consider how the weight is distributed across them, but I agree that additional bracing would be beneficial. I plan to add some brackets under each for additional support.
This reminds me of the saying "Any idiot can build a bridge, but it takes and engineer to build a bridge that barely stands". Most people over engineer their builds but you have done the math and found out simple will work just fine.
The term for the elbow ends are male and female. Great idea well done
Thank you!
I think what is confusing is he used both ends as "males".
