Nicely done Martin. A little bit of TLC has given that lawnmower a new lease of life. I wish Gary and Stacey and the children best of health and hope they get well soon.
Finally another great Super-Old-fashioned Lawnmower-video, I missed so much!! Thank you Martin, much appreciated!!! Get well soon for your son and any other family members who are sick! Greetings from the Netherlands...!!!
To be fair Martin i don't use disposable gloves that often either due to them breaking and being unable to recycle them. I use gardening gloves for dirty jobs and wash them afterwards.
Hi Martin good one, but what an earth were you thinking let him loose in your shed 😂If I came to visit you you’d have to get a big hair wig and crocs😂 I enjoyed it seeing you all together, nice seeing Gary on a video again. Take care 🙂👍
Martin I Wr have covic cant go out so these videoes pass time good to see a mower video we like these type videos that was a good find gaza bope you and your family get better fast love the video martin Phil in stoke
hope garys family get well soon as you said in your video coronavirus is going round his home with them testing postitive and nice see you wife save back from hoilday
I am sure Gary and his lovely family will be over it and fine in no time. My best wishes for speedy recovery. I will pop over and send my best regards. I always enjoy your videos mate. Your friend from across the pond.
That's great, it's nice when things go well. Love to Gary, Stacey and the children , I hope that they get better soon. Thanks again for last week, it's done my subs the world of good. I have just bought the Rode wireless go and a DJI Osmo action camera, so hopefully that will improve quality. Just waiting for the camera to come. Take care, Jeff
Hi Martin just discovered your channel and loving all the car and mower work you do. I have to say your cars that you spray are absolutely fantastic, they look perfect and glossy, yep I've watched just about every video you've done where you spray a car. Can I please ask a question, what type of paint and clear coat do you spray, I'm guessing it's a base coat and clear coat but what brand/type would I look for if I wanted to achieve the same shine you do? I'm new to car spraying! Cheers
I hope Olivia is okay Martin. My brother caught covid 19 and his wee girl has autohara syndrome so was very lucky his boy was the only one to catch it and she managed to stay covid free and everyone’s okay. Government have forgotten about our disabled kids especially being so vunerable with a neurological condition
Yes, Olivia is still in hospital with it and also has a chest infection on top of Covid. Gary is the only one who doesn't have it in their family but the other 2 kids are fine with it. Thanks bud.
@@retrorestore my pleasure mate we also have Victa bases very similar too that used plastic including our legendary Victoria Envoromower and the ones used now in the cordless range today etc.
i’m 67 years young and have used Rozalex Barrier cream my whole working life. only very rarely do i use disposable gloves, in my mind Martin there’s enough crud going to landfill as it is. pass on our thoughts to Gary and his family.
Nice fix Martin enjoyed it.just one slap on hand for turning blade with plug cap on lol sorry to hear about Gary family all the best and speedy recovery xx
@@retrorestore hi Martin I no your abit of a bike Man to I'm buying my son's trike scooter it has probs lol and I no nothing.to open seat you press a button used to get a click sound am I thinking it'works on electric? So if it's not clicking am I looking for a fuse Ur relays?
Me too, you had to use it. I was a tool room apprentice in a government training centre 1980. The last of the old government training centres. They had safety posters of extreme dermatitis cases, and even some really horrid ones of lads who had survived getting long hair or loose clothes wrapped around a milling machine cutter. The good old days. hahahaha
Was wondering if you could help me. Got a sym jet 50cc 2 stroke. Was wondering if you could tell me the carb settings ie Air mixture screw. How man turns out . Can't find any information on the net . Thanks Martin
Been awhile since we had a mower repair video. Thanks for sharing, Martin. Barrier cream? Sounds like a grippy skin dry wax coating. Gloves are a good thing, especially for cleaning.
question ref new - petrol e10 being introduced in sept want difference do you think will make to all petrol lawnmowers owners in uk so glad your doing mower repairs not like some / still always watch your channel glad your better now also watch your astra repairs as i still have astra g and as i am at 70 years old you do make me laugh sometimes as you remember that i am always messing things up so i do hate wearing gloves but do its not like old days all the best Ejw
Hi Earnest, I think over time the carbs will suffer as we all tend to leave fuel in the garden equipment for long periods. I think if people drain the tanks before storage, it will reduce the risk of blockages. What's this world coming to eh?
@@retrorestore thanks for reply i hope your right and i will still be to use my mower well see / keep safe i love cheap gloves reminds not to buy cheapes
The best gloves you can were are marigold kitchen gloves...there about a fiver for 2 pair but you get about 5 or 6 goes from a pair..and they never rip...
Mine hasn’t got the self propelled but mines the same and it surges when started, I’ve cleaned the carb out and used tinned compressed air. It’s a lot better but still surges a little
On this side of the pond I've experienced problems with similar fuel tanks splitting down the seams after only two years of use. We have to use the similar hose vs the reinforced rubber as the 10% ethenol fuel hardens the fuel lines and gaskets. Thanks for these instructive videos. You make it appear as if Roberts is your fathers brother. Narragansett Bay.
buy cheap buy twice springs to mind on the gloves Dog poo then the gloves LOL looks as though the tendon has calmed down though Good video Amazing what some people throw out these days
@@retrorestore Normal ? .Well I hope the children and Grandchildren are OK that is a nasty virus We had it in January but the children all tested negative
Black mamba gloves are the way forward I watched a UA-cam video and they recommended snake skin (in Canada) I found the mamba family of gloves and they are the best gloves I've found at this time if anyone want to try a diffrent brand
That’s what ethanol crap 💩 does to lawn equipment ruins fuel lines carb gaskets. Makes em go hard and not much you can do but have ample supply of rebuild kits. Unless here in the states you buy premium fuel or find a non ethanol station regular-mid has ten% blend. Humid days pew wee. Then add a fuel additive to remove the ethanol bout all the options

Hi Martin,so sorry to hear the passing of your beautiful granddaughter, my deepest condolences to you and your Family at this sad time
Loads of love going out to Gary and his family plus you and Sharon, can’t imagine the heartbreak your all going through xx
RIP Olivia. Taken far too soon. My thoughts are with your whole family. ❤️
So sorry to hear of your loss Martin.
I will say a prayer for you and your family can not imagine what you are going through at this time.
The price of nitrile gloves has shot up. Before COVID I paid £4.50 per box, the same box now is £20. Good job on the lawnmower :)
Good to see you back on your feet Martin. Hope Gary's family beat Covid-19.
Thanks Michael

Thanks Norm.👍
2:25 I still use the barrier creme, very good stuff and as you said you have better feeling in your fingers.

They had safety posters of extreme dermatitis cases, and even some really horrid ones of lads who had survived getting long hair or loose clothes wrapped around a milling machine cutter.

Maybe one day!

Nice mower there Martin 👌
Looks great martin cleaned up great best wishes to your Family .
Was wondering if you could help me. Got a sym jet 50cc 2 stroke. Was wondering if you could tell me the carb settings ie Air mixture screw. How man turns out . Can't find any information on the net . Thanks Martin
Not sure but most mixture screws basic settings are around 1.5 to 2.5 turns out
Thank you
Been awhile since we had a mower repair video. Thanks for sharing, Martin. Barrier cream? Sounds like a grippy skin dry wax coating. Gloves are a good thing, especially for cleaning.
Barrier cream is still readily available 👍🏻

Hi Martin where did you get your table lift from and was it expensive ta
It is an expensive one but I got it for £70
Martin, could you let Gary know I pray they All make a fast recovery.
Cheers Tommy
I like using barrier cream rather than gloves. But if I'm doing a really dirty job I'll use both.
Top job best wishes for the family
Thank you very much
The best gloves you can were are marigold kitchen gloves...there about a fiver for 2 pair but you get about 5 or 6 goes from a pair..and they never rip...

Back on the mowers 🤔👍
Nice one Martin, did Gary set you up with the 🐕 💩,,,🤣🤣
Haha, its my own fault lol
Well done Martin we all know Gary wouldn't got it going lol 😆
Best wishes to them all
nice one martin
Great Vid Martin 👍
Thanks 👍
Mine hasn’t got the self propelled but mines the same and it surges when started, I’ve cleaned the carb out and used tinned compressed air. It’s a lot better but still surges a little
Check the o ring is sealing between the carb and the engine. An air leak will also cause surging.
@@retrorestore thank you fella. I will do that next time I have it out
Hi mate. Love your videos. Do you have any rover pro cut spares
No, sorry
@@retrorestore do you know of anywhere to get a rear drive wheel for the rover pro cut
Can you please do a update video on all your projects like the convertible car and the motorbikes and ect thanks 😊

Nitrile ones are crap and tear/snap very easily. Latex ones are much better but some people develope latex sensitivity.
Oh Martin and Family, I wish Gary and Family are over this quickly as possible
Thanks bud
Sorry the hear the death of oilvia may she rest in peace
Some gloves are not for petrol and chemicals like carb cleaner as they eat into the materials
Had to laugh about barrier cream used lots in factory and coal mines over the years
Im laughing so hard im crying mate. Lol
Black mamba gloves are the way forward I watched a UA-cam video and they recommended snake skin (in Canada) I found the mamba family of gloves and they are the best gloves I've found at this time if anyone want to try a diffrent brand
