Maintenance on the Lawn-Boy Dura-Force engine

In this video I do maintenance on the Dura-Force engine to keep your lawn mower running right!

Great video. Thank you sir

Your welcome!

A trick I leaned a long time ago was to use a lighter to burn off carbon on the spark plug. I never had a lighter so i just used a blow torch. Seemed to work fine and the oem sparkplug still works great

[@lawnboyR]

I use that trick all the time. My old mechanic neighbor told me about it. It always works great!

[@lawnboyR]

Thanks, the exhaust is probably my issue, runs splashy, misfires and blows a lot of smoke when i shake the mower when it is running, my early lawnboys had the muffler under the deck,

Thanks for the video, but FYI it's 0.030 inches, AKA 30 thousandths.

[@lawnboyR]

Thanks for the correction!

[@bobhaddock957]

please do video on exactly how to scrape carbon off. no maintenance on self propell?

[@lawnboyR]

I actually have a video coming out in a few weeks on how to grease the self propel mechanism. And I don't know when I will put out a video on how to clean the exaust ports.
