  • Hi and welcome to my channel Micks Mowers.
    in this video you will see me trying to get a trashed picked mower up and running, the mower was given to me for free as it was due to be taken to the tip.
    I work away trying to put it all together and clean all the bits.
    so lets see if its a runner or not.

    Great video. Lesson number one. Never leave your mower outside and uncovered. Rain and mowers don't mix. 😁

    Enjoyed this video, I just bought an Atco 14S for £28. It had been in garage for a few years, I did the fuel in plug hole trick and it fired, took the bowl off and the bowl screw was blocked. Cleaned the carb as you did reassembled and boom it came to life, every else seems ok. Great project in my retirement cheers.

    And that shite right there Michael, is the reason i gave up as a lawnmower mechanic back in 1980. As a aside i'm currently working on a 20" Ransomes Auto Certes bowling green 10 blade mower with the old BSA sloper engine on it, fired right up after the winter hibernation, and ticks over a treat.

    Nice fix. Perhaps the bottom blade is a touch bent . Sure you know that the cartridge comes out
    for a easy check. Just a tip the cylinder height screws can be very hard to adjust if they have
    been sat for a while a good impact driver or a striking screw driver works well.
    Cheers
    Pete.

    Interesting video. I have recently acquired a 17S, and have struggled to find anything specific on UA-cam. My first problem is the gear cable grabber and safety catch on the right hand lever. They had pretty much disintegrated, so I have bought new ones, but can’t really find how they are fitted.
