The snipped off ends of guitar strings are handy for unclogging small holes
If only I knew someone who played guitar...
Have you ever mowed your lawn with the same mower twice?
Not this summer! :D
I have this same motor on my honda branded mower. Same problems. Would've been an easy jet cleaning but my dumbass dropped the jet and could never find it again. bought a whole new carb for $15. Purrs like a kitten. Looking forward to your diag/repair.
That ratchet flying out, was a little scary.
Startled the shit outta me!
Hey just cleaning my carb today too and that dental pick idea was just what I needed to dig out an o-ring and washer - Thanks Brad
I like mowers that have that garden hose connection. Makes cleaning the underside super easy. Just turn the water on and let the mower run for a min or two. Wish mine was that way. Keep on keepin' on. God bless.
This is why we need more Bucky's... They really know what people want, ethanol free gas ( but really, sooo many delicious snacks!!!!).
Man the natural background noise. Making me homesick.
Good news: I love these vids, Bad news: Your driveway has become a superfund sight...
If the EPA wants to pay me to clean it up, I'm sure I have some Fauci masks around here somewhere.
A good unwound G string makes a good, stiff cleaner.. Brad if I cleaned gas soaked parts in my kitchen sink, my wife would cut my balls off LOL
Hi my first time watching you video, and I liked how you were talking about how most young kids wouldn't know how important it is to fix stuff, they would rather throw it away and buy new, I enjoy repairing lawn mowers and snow blowers its fun, plus i'm keeping them out of the landfill and giving them at second chance to be used again, its crazy how much stuff humans as a society throw stuff away.
Yessir! I've even thought about letting some of the neighborhood boys hang out while we wrench on stuff. They gotta learn somehow, right?
That's right, if you ever get a john deere lawn mower with a kawasaki engine on it thats worth keeping I use 2 of them plus a real honda lawn mower, im saving the planet 1 snow blower 1 lawn mower at a time, going green these mowers will be the throw away the fans where the blades are attached if the nipples break off the blade will keep spinning and you can't just buy the 1 peice you have to replace the whole mower.@@Fixologist1
Brad you might try some old guitar strings of same diameter or little bit smaller. If possible, use the wound strings. Good luck, always a fun show to watch you learn.
I was thinking the same thing. I'm sure the Guitologist 'might' have an old string or two laying around somewhere!
Works very well been doing it that way for years. They also will work as a cleaning tool for oxy/acet torch tips when they get stopped up
Another great video Brad. I really enjoy the Fixologist.
Way to go, Brad! You found a real gem of a mower. A diamond in the rough.
The socket and rachet chop was EPIC!! hahahahahahahah!!!!
We just use some gas welding tip cleaners you can get them online or at a welding shop here in Texas we have a tractor supply I get them there
I'm really loving these small engine repairs you do Brad. Most people have no idea on how about doing this work. Hence getting some great deals, in this case from a local seller. It ended up running like a new mower once you gave it the old
once over maintenance . $40 seems like a steal when you consider you can buy one for $200 right now.
Well worth $40! At first I was WTF! when the ratchet flew out, then I was LMAO! Glad kiddos weren't near at the time.
I always heard Kentucky had blue grass..😮
Nice job on this one as well. I'll say that your lawn mowing videos are much better than mine!
Overalls, old shoes and a workbench with a vise.
Agian, great job Brad.
That one's a keeper!
Make sure you clean the pilot jet, inside the Philips screw on top of carb. Sometimes a black cap under the idle screw. Will cause surging if clogged.
wise man
I am glad you are having fun tinkering around with small engine repairs.
Professional question:
Have you ever repaired a Tom Scholz ROCKMAN XP 100 ?
No I haven't.
I hear the governors on those tend to get stuck wide open, especially in Boston😉
A can of barrymans carb dip is a lifesaver to have in your garage..just chuck all those parts in and forget about it for a day. Take it out and rinse it off.. no crud will survive..neither will any o-ring lol..needs a full kit to rebuild sometimes.
Close that plug hole Brad otherwise you might end up dismantling your insinkerator to retrieve your carby parts
I eventually figured that out.
a can of Parts Blaster would do you good Brad!
Excellent video 😎
Sharpen those blades! i like use a handheld grinder with a flap wheel disc. Then take a fine file to it! Be careful filing though because one slip and if the blade is sharp enough you'll get got like i did a couple weeks ago.😌
The joys of ethanol gas, it loves to ruin carbs.
I like your videos you put out are awesome,and I just subscribed To your channel thank you for the video
Thanks for subbing!
Really makes you wonder what people are doing to these things to make them so fucked up in the first place!🤨
There are gas stations selling Un ethanol that is not! Gas does not last more than a few months. I had the same issue with my echo edger and just ordered a new carb online. It was less than thirty dollars with a spark plug, fuel tank lines and filter. I didn't even have to adjust it!
Another nice save!👍 What is the green cylinder sricking up from the mower deck, carb side? Also, what fluid do you use in the ultra sonic?
Cylinder is a hose hookup for cleaning the underside of the deck. I use those only when I've just cut the grass with a clean deck. This was was caked for a long time.
Or the brush from grandad's 45
I use ethanol free gas and have been for the last few years and I'm lucky enough to have 2 stations that I know of one within 4 miles and the other one 8 miles away I go to the one that's less than 4 miles away and it's high octane I think about 91 to 93 octane.
Fixologist for Congress!
Guitar strings for unclogging jets! You can have every gauge of guitar string imaginable for every jet size imaginable… 😉😉😉
Ah… Someone already beat me to it… LOL!
😂😂😂
No air filter 😮
Nice
All the Wawa's in my area have non-ethenol. Its usually on the 2 farthest outside islands, with a blue nozzle. Of course it recently cost me 9 bucks to fill a 2 gallon can😡. If they can't directly regulate it out of existence, they will try to price it out of existence. FJB!
Same with ammo. Edit our freedoms through the side door.
@Fixologist1 Exactly. I feel like that will be their new model for "progress".
Serious question. How do you dispose of old gas? I know auto parts stores and oil change places take oil, but what about gas??
I haven't been doing this long enough to know, but I assume they'll take old gas just like old oil. And if they say they won't, just mix the old gas in with your old oil.
With the repairs you did on this and what you bought it for, what would you start your asking price on that mower listing it on FaceBook market place in your area?
Ones like this with mulcher, no self-propel, and a bagger, $120-$140, something like that.
@@Fixologist1 Sounds good; I recently bought a 22in Toro recycler 2010 model with self-propell. Paid $40 for it. So far will need new carb (current carb too far ethanol corroded to clean properly), drive belt, and air filter (about $60 in parts right off); will be looking to ask $180 for it next spring.
Yes my friend!!!!
Go Republican!!!!
You have royally messed up by publishing all of these curb finds. Everyone in your area are now going to get your money by putting the stuff up on FB Marketplace. LOL. Oh, well good buy nonetheless.
There are tons of curb pickers in my area than just drive around for hours looking something to make out of nothing. It’s probably more convenient to pay someone $40 and know you’re going to get something that’s likely worthwhile - though probably not nearly as exciting.
I think my area is just affluent enough to have people with regular jobs who can afford to just buy a new one, and there aren't a ton of people driving around every week looking like I do for this stuff.
Now start mowing other people's lawns for free. Cha- Ching!!!!
haha...yeah that's when the BIG BUCKS start rollin' in!
