I love how you talk to the camera like we are standing there with you. Totally makes the videos i reckon. Love your stuff and love wrenching with you Mustie1.
I always reply when he does that. "You guys are in the way".... "Sorry mustie." "Could you guys hold that for me?" ... "Sure mustie, *reaches for computer screen" "Guys want a cookie?"... "Thanks, don't mind if I do."
I love watching tear downs and investigations on failed motors, so imagine how happy I was to see Mustie1 doing one! I'd love to see more failure investigations! :)
Hahaha, I love you man. You start out by saying how it's not worth fixin with time an labor but you end up doing a full tear down. You just can't help yourself. You've got the mind of an engineer for sure. Love the video.
The size of the yard you found it on is a factor. One other detail: If a guy brings back a mower you worked on and it is locked up solid and you check the oil only to find the engine is completely full of oil up to the top of the fill tube, the cause may be the literal interpretation of the word “oil fill” on the cap of the dip stick.
Check them ring gap. I will bet the engine was run without an air filter or it was sucking dirt from somewhere and that trashed the rings and the cylinder. Remember the different bolt in the air filter cover? It had been left out and that was allowing it to suck unfiltered air into the carb.
"Dammit, Jim, I'm a mechanical engineer, not a mechanic!" As always, thanks so much for the explanations while you're working, I always learn a lot from your videos.
Good video. After watching you work on several small engines, I decided to try and get my dad's 30 year old Ariens snowblower running. I surprised myself, and got it to run. Now I just need to replace the dry rotted tires. Thanks for all of your videos. John
Im telling you man. People dont know hoe to do this stuff anymore. If it doesnt work they throw it away. Keep working at it and you will figure it all out. Im 17...self taught. Rebuilding my 66 c10s engine rn. If you really wanna learn then you do everything you can to find information. Like watching mustie1😁
I always try to reach out and hold things for you. Keep up these great videos. You inspire me to try and fix stuff rather than leave it out on the kerb.
No kidding, the ninja blade looks new and they are 30 bucks. The bag laying on the ground new is about 80 dollars. Mustie always has great free pile finds!
Fantastic video. I've never seen an engine completely broken down before. I've learned a lot. Thank's Mustie for this and all your videos. I look forward for the next. ps: the awful heat and humidity has finally left Minnesota; You should be getting a break pretty soon.
You videos are very informative but are time killer. I prefer videos which are 15-30 minutes. Fortunately, yours are packed with tips and tricks which makes them worthwhile. thank you
Hi just wanted to say I love watching your videos. They teach me so much. Even videos like this show you that some times there's stuff that can't be fixed. Really I just wanted to say thank you for let me wrench on some rusty junk with you every time you post a new video.
I enjoyed myself watching because I've been taking lawn mowers apart and generators and doing about the same thing you just have a lot more master of everything that needs to be done. Thank you learned a lot
Of course we like seeing you taking things apart, even if they won't start. That's how we learn! Unfortunately not a lot of discarded small engines around me area, so I am really grateful for your content!
Thankyou for making this video. I’ve been wanting to see what goes on inside one of these for a while. Although I understand why you wouldn’t fix one I’ve always been a little disappointed. Keep up the good work
Mustie1 I love your videos. I learn a lot just by watching your videos. I like how you explain why something broke or why something will not crank. Thanks for all the great videos.
Love your videos. The way you narrate what you are doing, makes me feel that I with you in your shop. Just love it, beside I do learn from you. Also love your new shop, boy lots of room By the way oil floats on water.
Loved the video but that drive home at the end was beautiful. What a gorgeous part of the world you live in. Hope to visit the US someday. Thanks for another great video 👍🏼 🇮🇪
I have a Snapper that's very similar and learned quite a bit by you taking it apart. Even if you don't get it running again you are teaching troubleshooting skills. Thanks
My 12 year old sister learned general engine theory and how to diagnose simple problems you would find in a lawn mower. She now runs a mower she repaired herself to make money on the weekends.
No nothing about small engine repairs, but have REALLY enjoyed watching your video. I see alot of myself in you. Its not worth fixing, but want to know what caused it to fail. I am a retired electrician, and got so much satisfaction on what caused it to fail, electric or some thing else. Just wanted to find out what caused the failure. Thanks so much for keeping me on the edge of my seat. Your presentation was also great. Will now subscribe, because of your over all quality. Thanks so much for sharing. I always felt a bit of accomplishment when I found out the problem.
Thank you Mustie1. Because of your videos and a couple others, they gave me the confidence to tackle cleaning my push mower's carbeurator. I probably spent too much on parts and starter fluid, but still less than what a service would have charged. And I had it back in 30 min
I really enjoy your video's and learn a lot from them. I actually just tore this same motor down and I am waiting for a gasket set to come in so I can rebuild it. Mine didn't come with the extra screw in the crank case though !!!
*Mustie1* I have that exact mower with a 6.5 Briggs and Stratton, love it because of the rear drive with differential and speed selector. It cuts really well because of the odd blade I think and is effortless to use. When mine finally goes I'm going to repower it with a vertical shaft Harbor Freight engine or small riding mower engine. Excellent video.
I found this one to be really interesting. That screw inside was quite a surprise. I really appreciate that you took the trouble to finding the cause of the failure.
I enjoy watching videos whether or not you get them fixed, I think you could but it might not be worth it, I think you work your (MAGIC) getting most engines running and repairs done explaining what you're doing so us wanna be types can understand. lol.
Another 6.75 B&S should be "Easy-Pesy" to obtain! That is how I got my Snapper! Snapper with dead 3hp Briggs + Rotted Deck Craftsman with good 6.75 Briggs... 20 minutes later, I was mowing! All I had to get for it was a Mulching Plate from Ebay ($9.00 NEW). I really like the Drive System as well. 😎 Take care Mustie1, 🤓 -Thomas Western Washington State
I do like these videos they show me how to work on my small engines. I have a pressure washer that is in need of repairs and you live to far from Texas so I will have to do it myself, Thank You for showing me how.
LOL, even the Satellite will haul if it's a free pile item. Would have grabbed it too..even a de-thatcher attachment! Would keep my eye out for a motor with that same shaft length, as that's a good frame, and people love those snappers! They always sell quick when you have them out w/a sign.
Sometimes it's fun to tear one down, even if you have no plans on putting it back together. Diagnosing it is half the fun. Anything can be repaired, but at what cost?
Just want to say thanks for the inspiration. Our lawnmower crapped out so I was looking to get a new one, but didnt want to spend much money. I picked up a curb alert Troy Bilt. The engine was seized, but a can of WD40 freed it up. Dumped out the tar in the oil pan. It had been run without a filter in and I dont think the oil was ever changed. Pulled the carb and cleaned as you did. Put it back together and it runs well. great video.
Another wonderful trip down small engine mystery failure lane. Ah, the things we'll find! Thanks for sharing another adventure, and hopefully your neighbours know that anything left in the free pile at YOUR curb is beyond hope!
Stuck at home for weeks after a back surgery and happened across your channel. I gotta say i love your content and the way you go about your projects. You never seem to get upset or let anything bother you. You also interact with the camera like were all standing there with you its pretty damn cool man. Your kinda like the Bob Ross of small engine repair lol (in a good way or course!) . Keep up the good work, you've earned my sub
Great video, really enjoyed it. I think the reason it would not start at the end of the video is because you were using your right hand. Pretty sure that is a left hand pull start... :)
Great video, my son watched it from start to finish. What a great way for you to teach someone something new! Wish you could have had a new block and piston on hand to show re-assembly again great video
He has said in the past that many don't run. He diagnosis them quickly and sees if they are worth the time. $50 an hour he charges himself plus parts. Doing the videos slows him down, but that is how he makes his living.
The lever on the camshaft is the decompressor lever for easy pull start.Some others have a plastic "finger " protruding from one spoke at cam sprocket that lift the exaust tappet.
I too learn more from complete disassembly and conjecture and discussion as to why, what, how, and when things may or may not have happened. Thanks. I enjoyed this one.
This one did not run, but I am glad you took it apart so we all could learn from it. At the end the previous owner did this to this poor machine. May it rest in pieces to become a spare part for another machine. Congrats again on your new location. Always wundered when you got to big for your own garage. Love the way you take us on your journey through fixing and learning. All with a good dose of humor. Hope to enjoy your channel for much longer.
Another Epic Mustie. In the last clip of Mustie1 driving... is it me, or was I the only person got the Sesame Street end credits in my head.... Must be me then. Thank you Mustie1.
Well because of Mustie1 my 26 year old Mountfield with a very good 3.5 Briggs on it has rusted out deck. Did i do what everyone suggested and throw it out? "NO" I cut the rust out with my plasma torch then cut out a patch from my old gas BBQ with a cardboard template tacked it in ground down the welds painted it with old half used rattle cans gave the Briggs its FIRST oil change EVER blew some BBQ black paint over it popped all back together and there you have it all fixed and will last another 5 years until the engine lets go. Cost me a bit of welding wire some electric and a WHOLE LOT OF FUN. ALL LEARNT FROM MUSTIE1 Thank you keep the vids coming. Steve UK
That was the first thing that came to my mind too. My kids probably would've done something like that if they saw me fixing a lawnmower. Just trying to help daddy. 😁
My kids put quarters in my car CD 💿 player. Took me about a month to figure out the metallic sound I was hearing from the dash area every time I went around a corner 😬
Yep, I like tearing stuff apart too. Very reveling what you can find. I would say yes on finding more items like this. I wish we had stuff around here sitting out front on folks yards for free. Your lucky in your area
It's most unlikely that the scored bore is what's causing the compression problem. My guess is the same as others commenting here... the loose bolt scored the bore but it also got caught in the gears and make the cam timing so silly.
excellent video , mostly because this is the exact same as my own mower and my mower has also eaten an oil ring . figured I would swap engines on it because the mower is almost $700 dollars new , the way I got was somebody threw it on the curb while cleaning the garage because they couldn't get it started due to a $0.49 gasget on the intake primer ; I fixed it and ran it for 15 seasons in louisiana
While watching you channel, my seven year old son decided to grab a free mower and leaf blower, 2 hours later and some guidance from me, he had it going, it had no plug, stripped out threads, worn wheels and a lot of dirt. Now he wants to do more, leaf blower needs a new pul start and spring so cost will be finding another one in bad shape, thanks for inspiring him
Been stuck in a military hospital overseas bored out of my mind, thank you Mustie1 for the upload, your videos bring great pleasure to us.
A prayer for your speedy recovery and come home soon. Much love from your neighbors-America
Get well soon mate. 👍
Get well!
Hope you heal thank you for your service.Shalom
Get well soon friend, praying for you and thank you for your service!!
I love how you talk to the camera like we are standing there with you. Totally makes the videos i reckon. Love your stuff and love wrenching with you Mustie1.
James B
You are spot on there, i always feel like darren is only talking to me.
It's like being with a best mate tinkering with stuff :-D
That is one of the things I love about his videos
I always reply when he does that.
"You guys are in the way".... "Sorry mustie."
"Could you guys hold that for me?" ... "Sure mustie, *reaches for computer screen"
"Guys want a cookie?"... "Thanks, don't mind if I do."
Reminds me of being in the shop with dad or friends 50 or 60 years ago.
I like it when he slips up and says something like "First day" or "Rookie mistake". Mustie1 is SO not full of himself.
I like seeing videos about why something failed. Not everything has to have a happy ending. You explain things very well. Keep them coming!
As you say at the end, Mustie "I enjoyed taking it apart anyway". Me too, enjoyed watching you do it.
I am 71 so don't do this kind of work anymore but enjoy your videos keep doing what you are doing

I think I learn the most from these forensics videos. Love the variety of videos, keep it up!
Michael Steeves as an actual forensic scientist...I AGREE!
I'm waiting for the next big project, meter maid Beaver type thing
I love Mustie's videos. He goes in depth and explains how things actually. I have learned more watching his videos than I could ever teach myself.
I love watching tear downs and investigations on failed motors, so imagine how happy I was to see Mustie1 doing one! I'd love to see more failure investigations! :)

He needs to know, so that he knows better in the future.
Knowledge is not always as cheap as we would like it to be.
Real men cannot be beaten by a machine. We're going to figure it out if it's the next to the last thing we do.
I love these tear downs. Always nice to see exactly what caused the damage and if it’s worth it to repair. Thanks!
Check them ring gap. I will bet the engine was run without an air filter or it was sucking dirt from somewhere and that trashed the rings and the cylinder. Remember the different bolt in the air filter cover? It had been left out and that was allowing it to suck unfiltered air into the carb.
That’s an old engine. Briggs has made a flathead (L type) in about twenty years.
"Dammit, Jim, I'm a mechanical engineer, not a mechanic!" As always, thanks so much for the explanations while you're working, I always learn a lot from your videos.
Started watching your videos a few months back. Just want to say that I really enjoy being in the shop wrenching with you. Keep up the fun

What was wrong with it?
Nothing better than waking up on a Sunday morning and watching mustie work you have a good day my friend take care buddy
I always try to reach out and hold things for you. Keep up these great videos. You inspire me to try and fix stuff rather than leave it out on the kerb.
It's always fun tearing something apart to see the engineering involved to make it happen. Yes do more and thank you.
Good morning ! These free pile finds are some of my favorite vids
yeah nothing beats rolling up on a virgin plle and taking your pic for the rescue
Wow! Alot of expensive Snapper parts and accessories for free.
No kidding, the ninja blade looks new and they are 30 bucks. The bag laying on the ground new is about 80 dollars. Mustie always has great free pile finds!
@ Nope, the 'top' blade is supposed to have that curl.
He lives in the "right" neighborhoods, all I find in mine are full trash bags!
A vent window and a cracked steering wheel. I`m glad I watched this to the end. Thanks for the memories.
Fantastic video. I've never seen an engine completely broken down before. I've learned a lot. Thank's Mustie for this and all your videos. I look forward for the next.
ps: the awful heat and humidity has finally left Minnesota; You should be getting a break pretty soon.
sunday afternoon deciding what to do fixing some of my own stuff or watch someone else fix there's. Wel we al know what im doing
Right...I'll get mine fixed tomorrow.
He didnt ''fix'' anything this time tho lol
Yep, hiding from the wife... ;-D
@@altonriggs2352 procrastination intensifies
How do I get a message to mustie 1
I think that mower came from the free pile at project farm.
Oh no kidding, he seriously abuses that poor mower, I'm surprised it still runs.

Maybe :)
Can nuts and bolts replace oil in your crankcase? Today we're going to find out!
Today can Mustie find out why my mower blew up.

Just want to say thanks for the inspiration. Our lawnmower crapped out so I was looking to get a new one, but didnt want to spend much money. I picked up a curb alert Troy Bilt.

Pulled the carb and cleaned as you did. Put it back together and it runs well. great video.
Once again an interesting video and you live in a beautiful part of the world.
.and a nice end to the vid with a casual ride in the convertible
Thanks for the great video. Too darn hot in the north-east today do do anything other than watch someone else work.
it was 95 when l filmed this, that fan was my friend
I "tinker" with mowers, but learned a lot watching this total tear-down. Thanks !
Really enjoy the videos but I must admit, the chuckle from you when something starts is great.
Great video Sir. I inserted a drum roll for you @ 36:20 like you asked. BIG THUMBS UP
l even heard ya
Great video Mustie1 definitely make more if them. Crazy how that little screw damage that bore
The forensic teardown is a good genre to throw in the mix, Mustie. Thanks for sharing.
Another wonderful trip down small engine mystery failure lane. Ah, the things we'll find! Thanks for sharing another adventure, and hopefully your neighbours know that anything left in the free pile at YOUR curb is beyond hope!
I'm waiting for the day Mustie1 drives by Project Farm's driveway and finds 23 free lawn mowers...
The destroyer vs the healer
He’d probably just leave em. Lol. Then again musti can’t help him self when free stuff is involved
And then Mustie asks, “Why does this crankcase have honey in it?”
HAHAHA, true!
Snapper lawnmowers are juuuunk I owned ONE but never again.!!!!
21:00 🔑 appreciate the timing info. Always confused me. 1 minute of mustie solved many a book reading. Appreciate you.

I look forward to your videos Mustie, they are very interesting. Thank you.
Great video, really enjoyed it. I think the reason it would not start at the end of the video is because you were using your right hand. Pretty sure that is a left hand pull start... :)
Those back roads remind me of Connecticut. Home for 25 years. Miss the scenery but not the winters.
AND THE TAXES!
OUT OF THEIR MIND'S WITH TAXES! Best view I ever had of CT was in my rear view mirror as I moved out!

Great video, my son watched it from start to finish. What a great way for you to teach someone something new! Wish you could have had a new block and piston on hand to show re-assembly again great video
The world will never be the same. Mustie1 didn't get it running.
He has said in the past that many don't run. He diagnosis them quickly and sees if they are worth the time. $50 an hour he charges himself plus parts. Doing the videos slows him down, but that is how he makes his living.
into life a few fails must happen if every thing was hunky dory every time what would be the challenge?????

some little kid dropped that air cleaner bolt in there while his dad wasnt looking. pesky kids. nice one mustie.
thats what l was thinking too
No he did it so he could convince his wife to let him get the ride on.
That was the first thing that came to my mind too. My kids probably would've done something like that if they saw me fixing a lawnmower. Just trying to help daddy. 😁
My kids put quarters in my car CD 💿 player. Took me about a month to figure out the metallic sound I was hearing from the dash area every time I went around a corner 😬

I like how you disassembled that mower, we just picked up 3 mowers here during clean-up day
Yep, I like tearing stuff apart too. Very reveling what you can find. I would say yes on finding more items like this. I wish we had stuff around here sitting out front on folks yards for free. Your lucky in your area
Can't win'em all. You still have a great winning record!
Weird. Here in Australia about 1 in 500 push mowers are self propelled, and about NONE have elec start 😎😎
I've got the Toro Timemaster that is self propelled with electric start
yes, just saw a Rover 2 stroke mower in the free pile (Neutral Bay Sydney) probably would run but no-one does their own lawns anymore around here
In Argentina all of them are Electric with a cable or 2 stroke small weed whackers this gas mowers are way to expensive
@@XxmatixX6videosdiariosdenadav what? 120€-130€/ so thye are well lower than 150usd from the chinese markets, start an import business?
I don't think these are that common here (US) either.
Great video Mustie. Very informative. Keep them coming.
I love watching you work on small engines I like working on mowers and stuff like that myself thanks for uploading another great video
A quick hone, set of rings, valve lap and valve tip grind - it would run just fine.
Great videos !!
A +.010" piston with rings after honing.

It's most unlikely that the scored bore is what's causing the compression problem. My guess is the same as others commenting here... the loose bolt scored the bore but it also got caught in the gears and make the cam timing so silly.
excellent video , mostly because this is the exact same as my own mower and my mower has also eaten an oil ring . figured I would swap engines on it because the mower is almost $700 dollars new , the way I got was somebody threw it on the curb while cleaning the garage because they couldn't get it started due to a $0.49 gasget on the intake primer ; I fixed it and ran it for 15 seasons in louisiana
Ken Massey ATTABOY!!
25 Minutes in....learned something new! Love your videos, keep 'm coming.
While watching you channel, my seven year old son decided to grab a free mower and leaf blower, 2 hours later and some guidance from me, he had it going, it had no plug, stripped out threads, worn wheels and a lot of dirt. Now he wants to do more, leaf blower needs a new pul start and spring so cost will be finding another one in bad shape, thanks for inspiring him
