Hi, firstly I tip the machine onto its right side. This ensures the air filter doesn't get oil in it. Then I use an old kitchen scrubbing brush to clean out the underside. Finally I give the metalwork a spray with an oil that's intended for hedge trimmers. It supposedly helps to break down the green stuff. I'm sure that WD40 would be just as good.

Thank you. I'm pleased you liked it. I didn't think it necessary to show the top coat as it looks the same as the primer/undercoat being applied. It also helped to keep the video short.

Sorry to hear that you are having such trouble. I've no idea what your latex (COAT) eggshell paint is but can only suggest that you use a water based paint and a foam roller with a rounded end which is less likely to leave lines. Roll the paint out more and use a light touch.

@ It’s a water based eggshell. I’ve tried foam and mohair rollers. I’ve tried again with new MDF and the primer and it’s not too bad now. Perhaps it’s down to it being a very dark colour?

@@CarFinanceSimplified That's really strange as I've never had this issue and I recently painted a piece of furniture in a very dark green which went on well. I can't think what causing the problem.

It certainly is!😊

I did! 😀

Hello Alan, I think I used Oakey sandpaper. I buy it by the roll from Toolstation or Screwfix. I believe the grit was 120, but it was quite a well worn piece. Probably 220 would be best if it's a new sheet. You don't want to remove too much paint! I'm very gentle rubbing the surfaces down.

@@JohnTheHandymanUK Thanks for the info John, very good of you.

I'll try that one day.

I have friends in high places!🤫

Thank you, it's getting there! There should be a build series on this on UA-cam one day.

I bought this from Amazon. www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B07W7HDWVQ?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title The tiltcouldd be oneoff these things. Try tightening the lock nuts just a tiny amount to eliminate free play I suspect your TV is heavier one side than the other so if possible slide it slightly one way on the rear brackets to shift it's centre of balance. The bracket I used doesn't suffer this issue and you can do this. I hope you get it sorted.

Thank you very much. 😊

Thanks for the compliment. Yes, the decks do eventually rust so I'm told. I try and brush off any damp grass and then I spray the metalwork with a fluid used on hedge cutters. Sorry I don't remember the name. It's supposed to break down the green stuff. Re: the petrol...no I don't drain the tank over winter. There is no need as I use ASPEN an alkalide petrol. It doesn't go off over time and the exhaust fumes don't smell either. It's an excellent fuel. I think that I mentioned this. Well done with your purchases, bargains. It's a shame if Honda are stopping making petrol mowers.

@@JohnTheHandymanUK oh yes I read you said agealube bio.. Sounds good stuff. Abd definitely a good idea. I suppose keep clean and wd40 would be better than nothing.. Hrx decks are made from polymer. A type of plastic and last forever. Expensive kit though. My old used ones will suffice for what I need them for anyway I see they sell Aspen on amazon forty pounds for 5l..that's eight pounds a litre so far more expensive than a litre of ordinary fuel now about £1:38P .but I suppose if convenience is a premium then that's ok.. Best of luck

The reason I bought this one is because of the metal deck. Flimsy fibreglass decks don't stand a chance against my full of stones lawn.

Yes, it's a great idea. I've done that in the past but forgot this time!

If I understand your questions....It's fine to run a circular saw as the teeth barely protrude through the floor. Any cables and pipes ought to be below the teeth so won't be damaged. Screwing through the carpet is a definite "don't do" as you run the risk of hitting a pipe or cable.

@alandevine6961 I'm pleased you liked the video, and thanks for the compliment. Well done on finding a second-hand one. May I suggest that you use an alkalyd petrol, Aspen is one make. I've used nothing else in mine. Alkalyd petrol is more expensive but it won't go off in the tank which is important over winter. There is no need to drain the tank, and it'll start with no problems in the spring. If the price of Aspen puts you off, just think you'll be saving on maintenance costs when it won't start and you take it to a dealer!

@@JohnTheHandymanUK Thanks again! Yet more invaluable advice. I'll find that alkalyd petrol 👍

Because the homeowners didn't want to replace it just yet. It wasn't too bad; it was just the edges looking grubby.

Hello Emma, sorry I didn't make this clear in the video. Yes, I did sand very lightly all over. I hope this helps. John.

I have a 28 year old Honda 536 Hrd and a Stihl RM448 TX, both start first pull but Stihl gives a lot of smoke many times. Even when it was new. The Honda doesn't even get maintained a lot.

Stihl has good chainsaws but honda rules in lawnmowers

@@solangeherault7038 You are very welcome.

Thank you very much. I'm pleased you enjoyed it. 🙂

Sorry you didn't find the video as helpful as it should have been. The brand I used is Leyland. Both the acrylic primer/ undercoat and the satin finish are water based and yes probably any satin finish will do the job well.

It's not an easy job and there are still quite a few squeaky areas in the floor that I did. I think much of it comes from where the chipboard runs under the stud walls. I think bottom of the walls rub on the floor. If you think your issue is the same try removing the skirting board, drill 5mm holes at a downward angle through the bottom timber, don't go through the floor, and try squirting a PU foaming glue down the holes. With luck the glue will foam up and expand to fill the pesky gaps. I've not tried this but seen someone who has and I believe it worked.

Thanks for the response

It's the HRH 466 I think. The model is written in the video's description.

Yes I agree, don't be put off by the price. It's good that your Honda is still working well.

Hi, I think this depends on what kind of surface finish is already on the table. If it's painted then I'd rub it down well with 120 then 240 grit sandpaper, wipe the surface clean and apply a primer then a topcoat. You can buy Multi Surface Paints, Bedec is one brand. This might work well with a couple of coats. This approach might work if it's stained.

Thank you. 😊

There was no reason not to reuse them. The edges still are supported by the joists with sufficient board to accommodate the screws.

The correct amounts for the second putty for the second stage are: 6 parts Speedage or wall putty + 2 parts zinc white + 1 part glue + 1 part linseed oil + a little water instead of thinner, as I mentioned in the comment for stage 2. While the thinner should be used in the first stage in a ratio of 2 parts to 1 part

That sounds fascinating. I've never heard of a method like this. Thank you for sharing it. 😊

@@JohnTheHandymanUK You're welcome. You can try this on a piece of wooden MDF. Did you read the second comment about the proportions that should be used? I can contact you and provide you with something useful to understand everything I told you

Thanks for your comment it's very kind of you. Much appreciated. 😃

If you mean the joists then bees wax might work. I can't really say how successful it would be.

Hi, I'm sorry but I can't help you with your problem. It's not something I've heard of. Is there a fuel filter? Maybe it's blocked and needs cleaning or replacing. You are probably best to take it to a dealer who does servicing, buy maybe ask their advice first. I hope that you can solve the problem.

Thank you. 😃

That's funny, thanks. 😁. There wasn't space in the title to add "to a wall".

Thank you.

Thank you, and good luck with yours.
