Logical, methodical, always very well-presented. Great video.
I appreciate your kind words of encouragement!
Good job, Martin! Always a good day when you get a freebie and all it really needs is a carb clean and rebuild! Great for the bottom line! 🔧👍
Thank you! Definitely got to love the ones like this
That’s a great gift for a mechanic to have and fixing it back up in great shape 😊😊😊
It sure is, crazy how little use it seems is on it!
Great video!!!!
Thank you!
I had the same extractor, my pump broke too. Super disappointed in their lack of quality.
I have used probably 5 or 6 different brands and it is the only one that I have seen that didn't leak out of the bottom after using for a while. I believe they will all have an issue eventually if you use them for gas because it swells the material used to make the suction against the middle tube. These have worked well longer than other brands but we are sure not to put gas through the ones we use the manual pumps on
Very nice work.
I appreciate that!
Could you explain how to tighten up the steering on those riders? Mine developed so much slop in it. New parts don't get it all out.
What all was replaced? Most times it is in the steering bushings at the shaft or steering plate. It could also be axle or wheel spindle play
Martin, have you done any videos on Snapper/Ferris zero turns? I've got my first ZT in for service/repair Snapper pro s150xt/Kawi FX730v and I'm going to have to replace both the drive and deck belts (among other things). I did do a search on your channel and couldn't come up with anything. FWIW, the ID tag on this says B&S, so I guess they must have been the ones who bought up Snapper.
I sure do not, hey are very similar to many others mowers but not exactly the same. I have full faith in you being able to get it done!

Thanks, brother!
I have a john deere with a 22 horsepower Briggs. Its running lean. I'm thinking probably intake manifold gaskets. Im prepared to drill out the jets as well it that doesn't work. Briggs are known for running lean so I may go ahead and increase the jets by at least 1 size.
They definitely lean them out enough to sell in California, which means that the jets are definitely undersized
@@IndRepair
Yes Sir. Thank you for your comment
Do you have an opinion which carb setup is better for the Briggs and Stratton v-twin, the single or double barrel carb.?? I have no experience with the single yet and little- next to nothing with the double. Only replaced doubles with after market ones, never cleaned them.
I prefer the single barrel but they are both Nikki carburetors, which are not great to work on and more ethanol sensitive. Bottom line is neither are great designs in my opinion
@@IndRepair Thank you.
you can actually an air fluid evakuator to suck out gas? lmk.
They do not mention it on them and probably don't just incase they were to catch static electricity or something and light up. That being said, we use them for fuel consistently without issue...
u think i should use high millage oil to prevent leaks
Thicker oil will always leak less but also flows slower. It may help a little but don't think the difference will be measurable
Why a fuel pump on a gravity fed tank?
They love to do silly things like this. I believe the tank bottom actually sits just below where it would need to completely empty though
Is that the Handy lift 1500?
It sure is, the B.O.B. 1500 We have a review comparing it to the other two we have at
@@IndRepair im looking into getting one for my Small engine repair shop! I have a 6000lb amgo car scissor lift im utilizing now, but the BOB seems like a better fit.
@@mrfixit7743 It is an amazing lift!
