Speaking of rubber seals what most people don't realize is they get damaged from using fuel with ethenyl. Always use ethenyl free fuel in small engines you will avoid all kinds of future problems. Ethenyl damages rubber seals it also creates condensation that leads to other issues. It's also a good idea to empty the gas and oil out of a lawn mower at the end of mowing season when the mower sits through cold season.

Appreciate the comments. I'm definitely not a film producer and will endeavor to stay out of the way of the camera. Thanks for watching. Cheers

I am much like you in the sense that I love to take an old machine and make it run again , not only for the pleasure of success, but saving it from going to the junk yard and making it useful again. Thanks I learned a lot today from your video.

To get rid of water in the fuel you can use some METHAL HYDRATE

you skip too many things like cleaning carburetor,i'm not watching you anymore.

[@brantsmallenginerepairs]

Wow. Sorry to hear that. I have plenty of videos on how to clean almost every type of carb and don't feel it necessary to show that in every video. But thanks for the input. Cheers
