Soaking Stihl String Trimmer Line in Water: How much water will it absorb after 48 hours?
#stihl #stihlusa
Is your string trimmer using more line than usual? One possible cause could be that the line has deteriorated. Manufacturers recommend soaking the line in water to restore it, but how much water will it actually absorb? Join me as I conduct an experiment to see exactly how much water a 15-year old spool of Stihl string trimmer line will absorb.

How to check The transmission fluid on gcv200
@@manuelzermeno3702 the transmission is a sealed transmission. Unfortunately, there is not an easy way to check it. Yes, it can be disassembled, but you would not want to disassemble it just to check the fluid level. As long as you don’t see any signs of a leak, you should be good.
I opted for the homo model .....
Hmm, I was using 5w-30 full synth and engine definitely has a valve tick, good I saw this video, didn't realize its supposed to have 10w-30! Bit thicker oil might help.
feel like this video could have been 100 seconds long
Small engines require a specific oil. Vehicle motor oil is not designed for air cooled engines and will break down from the heat these engines produce. Obviously clean and fresh oil is better than old oil but it will break down a lot quicker and increase wear.
Wow; 5 bucks off? WM take the death grip off your wallet. Lol
How can you tell the age of or when the Honda was produced based on the serial # . If it’s the first 3 numbers in the serial# please explain..
Why are we caring if it holds water ? So it soaked does it make the string stronger
That scale measures weight, not mass. Quit calling it mass! I'm sure there's about 65 grams of water still trapped inside the spool. The white powder is added to reduce the string from sticking to itself...
🤣
Great video I have recently done the same with some 3mm line that is twenty years old.

Now for the breakage test.
It’s funny you say that. After I soaked it I realized I should have performed a breakage test before soaking it in water and then after just to see if there was a significant difference. Thank you for watching! Please like and subscribe!
There is a good chance water is still caught all up inside that spool in ways of osmosis, to truly dry it out you'd have to unwind it all in one long string and let that sit outside for an hour or two in bright sunlight by which time it will likely look just like it did before. The white powder, by the way, helps keep the string from binding up inside the trimmer spool. I doubt that's because it's "dry," more like a baby powder that was added at the factory, many of mine come this way already.
@@8307c4 I am sure you’re right about truly drying it. As I said, it’s not a truly scientific experiment. As far as the powder is concerned, I definitely don’t remember the white powder appearance when it was new. Thanks for the info and thanks for watching! Please like and subscribe!
Does this method also apply regular maintenance oil changes?
@@marcuso.fields5065 yes it does. Thanks for watching! Please like and subscribe.
HRR216 VYA Honda mower I have had in the shop now for over 6 weeks needing a drive belt, cannot find one anywhere, I really like Honda mowers, but I will never buy another one, seems like it is impossible to find replacement parts.
I have honda nun wrong
I live near cresson. Nice town. In the summer I go there to hike because it is cooler. In the fall it is very pretty. In December I visit because they always have a white Christmas when no one else in the area has any snow. In the spring……wait, some year I have seen snow in May.lol
Thank you For updating us on this Honda issue. I want to share my thoughts and my experiencing that I'm having. I did get recalled repaired but I don't know if the valves has been adjusted and how would I know? I'm not a technician that's questionable second thing is that I've noticed with gas line valve in the off position I was able to run my mower for five days and noticed that it's possibly defective. Also I'm also noticing with the valve on of course it has encounter an idle issues, revving up and down possibly carburettor issue or something else with the recall Repair that's causing this issue. I've only had mines for about nine months. It's kept in the garage and clean no debris in the filter.etc I think Honda should've been changing out these lawnmowers or refunding the customers that are affected by these models that encounter too many issues
Why the gear is made with plastic pvc and with the heat gets deformed melted the inside the engine and not only arrive the return of backfire and goes inside the carburetor from the Honda engine and from the carburetor goes to fuel tank you are screwed
So what is the lower fill port for on the left side of the engine?
I am not sure what fill port you are speaking about.
@@averagejoevideo9556 it looks identical to the oil, fill port on top of the engine
@@averagejoevideo9556 take a look at a BX 2670 engine and you will see what I mean
I'm waiting on Amazon to deliver my new Sending Unit for my 2000 Tracker TV-18. Gas gauge "seems" to function, so hopefully replacing the SU will be successful like yours!
The old Briggs flat head with primer start are about bulletproof. Maybe not quite as fuel efficient as over head valve but a darn good engine.
Just got my bx. There was a hydraulic line loose on the front and it leaked fluid. I tightened the fitting and it’s no longer leaking. What fluid do I check to make sure it’s not too low? It was a line up front to tilt the bucket
@@TinyTrackCars hydrostatic fluid. That would be the dipstick at the rear of the machine. It’s an orange dipstick.
@@averagejoevideo9556 got it! Thanks so much
@TinyTrackCars sure no problem. Please give this video a like and subscribe!
Stupid scam shit
They stopped producing honda gcvx with camshaft in steel only put inside camshaft in plastic pvc
Still waiting on your reply to my last message
Oil capacity is 0.55 litres which is roughly 18 oz? I’m confused about the 12.5 oz.
Hi, it’s me again that just left that message about the second dipstick on the left side of the engine. I was mistaken. I wasn’t at my tractor when I left the comment but now that I look, it’s not an extra dipstick but an extra oil fill port.
@@randyruegemer7636 no problem. I am glad you figured it out. Please like and subscribe.
@@averagejoevideo9556 well then I guess my question then was what is the second oil fill port for on the engine? It would be hard to add oil to that fill port because you have to take the wraparound cover off to get at it. Is it for the same type of engine oil or is it for something completely different and why doesn’t it have a dipstick to check it?
@@averagejoevideo9556 well I didn’t really figure anything out, I just corrected my self so you could better understand what I’m talking about. I still don’t know what that second oil port is for. Am I supposed to put engine oil in there or something else and where is the dipstick for checking the level that is in there?
0:41 well since I can’t get average Joe to answer my question about what the extra port is for on my BX 2670 engine could somebody else that knows tell me? PLEASE
What is the second dipstick for on the BX 2670 engine that’s down lower on the left side of the engine
Same as 3300 psi Ridgid Pressure Washer, even the wand same as Ridgid just injected moulded different color
So meticulous and careful of doing things. Love it !!!
@@bonarges1 thank you for the kind words! Please like and subscribe!
Thank you for your video. I have the same model, brand new. I like this mower but having some issues with mulching and wonder if you are having the same problem. When the clipping director is fully closed for mulching, there is a small gap such that clippings fill up the chute. Looks like a bad door design and wonder if you know a fix for this. Thanks
Great vid. Very well paced and informative - thank you :)

I have a three year old HRN216 and when I heard they were dropping mower production, I quickly purchased a new HRX217 for a back up just in case. I'm good for life! I've had nothing but Honda for over thirty years...
“Gulp of oil”…yum! 😀 Well done video, thank you sir.
Thank you! Please like and subscribe for more Honda mower content.
Thank you for being so honest and helpful, that just made me change my mind about it, so I was thinking about acquiring one for my own use. Forget about it ! 🙏🏻
You are quite welcome! Please consider liking and subscribing!
I just bought a HRX217 and Honda has assured everyone that everything they are selling now has been updated or they have pushed their inventory from more recent manufacturing beyond the issue.
I'm glad I bought my HRX a few years ago. In my 60s and I plan to make it last until I die or can no longer mow my own yard.
Thank you so much!!
You're welcome!
HRX series is so easy to repair at home by yourself and when empty for oil fill a little clean oil and pour it out again to flush it clean
That little hook at the back is gonna hurt if you slide off the rail😢😢
Whatever. Im still buying one.
More content like this? What is the recall? Lol
I did this but my gas kept leaking out so I suggest you run it dry first. If you don’t get ready for gas everywhere or it just might have been me. 😂
Did you remember to shut off the gas prior to tipping the unit?
If it's leaking from the cap, try a plastic lunch baggie. Remove cap, apply baggie, screw cap on.
Short, sweet, and to the point! Thank you.
No problem! Please like and subscribe for more Kubota content.
I have had my Honda mower since 1994. Still starts on the first pull. More than I could ever say about any of the Briggs engines I have owned. Honda had always stood behind their products. I’m certain this will be addressed soon.
Should never have happened anyway.
Screw all these companies! I'll buy a few goats.
lol
Im looking at toro/honda combo mower recycler 22 push mower on marketplace. I cant find any info on it at all. Im a Grandma buyong for my 14 yr old grandson to walk atound neighborhood to do lawns so he has his own. Any help anyone vould provide is so appreciated!🙂 Thank You
The engine on top says Honda and the deck says toro recycler 22". Thank you for any info links etc
It's not the high wheel variable speed. All wheels same size and it's not self propelled
Had an HRX217 with one of those plastic (Xenoy) decks. The deck cracked after about 10 years of residential use. Honda denied the lifetime warranty for the deck because i made a simple modification elsewhere on the lawn mower which they said "voided the warranty". The modification I made had no impact on the deck. This mower was the most expensive and shortest lived mower i've ever owned. I will never ever purchase another Honda lawn mower.
I have heard that they rarely replace the decks under their lifetime warranty. Apparently, many users get holes in the deck from rocks or debris slamming the underside. The warranty does not cover damage from impact. I wonder what is covered?
It’s beyond ridiculous that even decent manufacturers are putting out this plastic junk. I saw that John Deere is selling lawn tractors and zero turns with plastic transmission housings??? It shouldn’t cost $2K for a good lawnmower.
