    Great video. I really liked your comment about respecting the engine and disconnecting the spark plug for safety. I will remember that. Best wishes.

    It,s very Nice to see you and Sharon(baby)having such a good time together. Excellent and very understandable explanations of the Briggs&Stratton hidden secrets. Talking of B&S,..perhaps you can talk about their four stroke engines when time allows? Many people struggle with no start/hard start conditions due to lacking valve adjustment of valves(exhaust in special) on 4 strokes. B&S engines are very good engines! Big hug to you and Sharon! :).

      Hey Roar, thanks for the hugs haha, I'll give Sharon a squeeze lol. Yes, they are great little engines, very simple but robust. Cheers bud

    You have my sympathy Martin, those bloody pull start springs are a nightmare, I once nearly took my eye out fixing one.

    • @retrorestore
      @retrorestore  8 років тому

      Oh dear, Not quite had that happen but they can be a right pain though, especially if you cut the cord too short lol.

    Great video Martin. You are looking a little flustered there lol. Give Sharon a self drive mower instead of that old push mower lol. I saw the pictures of the reliant chassis and the great welding job you did. Look forward to the next video keep em coming Martin.
    Cheers, Jeff.

    Can lawnmowers be converted to drill start? I had to change a few pull cords on one of my nitro cars due to them snapping or jamming.

    • @retrorestore

      Too much hassle that Michael but i've seen it done though.

  • @Menditman2014
    @Menditman2014 8 років тому +1

    You can't win em all Martin, I did wonder as you were doing the cord if you had turned it a couple of extra times, a lot of the time I just finish it at the recoil and don't bother with the handle clip, I find that give me extra pull. Sharon was on form today giving you some grief lol. Good vid thanks.

    • @retrorestore
      @retrorestore  8 років тому

      Haha, yes she was on form lol. I give her some stick as well though.

      +retrorestore I work with my other half gardening and it's quite funny watching her when she breaks the mower, she's looking around it and hasn't a clue, the other week I saw her pushing it rather than using the drive, I said what have you done now, the cable had just slipped out of its holder on the handle. Usually it more involved than that, meaning an evening of stripping the mower down to sort out the drive.

    • @retrorestore
      @retrorestore  8 років тому

      Haha, At least she get's stuck in lol, most don't want to know.

    Rather than using a g clamp I just put a flat head screwdriver to stop it from moving. Cheers

      Yes, i've done that as well.

    @brianpercival1829 8 років тому

    I needed a good laugh. That was funny. What was Barney eating on the patio? Looks like he was pulling at weeds? Bison too, or did you drop a burger patty there? It's true, the cobblers shoes have holes, and the mechanic walks to work because his car is broken and your lawnmower had no oil and a frayed pull cord. That is Spring tuning work. Oil change always. Clean the spark plug, clear out the stuck on grass debris form under the deck. Oh, that lamp. Master of Disaster? Right Sharon? Looking forward to the next video. Happy Fathers Day Martin.

    • @retrorestore
      @retrorestore  8 років тому

      Haha your right there Bri about tranesmen lol. Always doing other people's stuff and not their own lol. They keep pulling the grass clumps, Barney started it and now Bison does it.
