- In another episode of "Lawn Mower Mysteries & Oddities", Taryl busts out this 'Push N Start' gimmick that they still actually sell today. The reason they probably still sell it is because it does in fact work on these certain model push mowers. As shown in the video, it brings back this push mower that's dead in the water and has been sitting outside in 20 degree weather for quite some time. Check it out, this mysterious oddity just might amaze you. And There's Your Dinner!!

Where do you get a Push-N-Starts
The act is so annoying ha. Yeah I know I don't have to watch and I very rarely do.
We lived down the street from the man who invented and manufactured this item, and owned the company. He made them out of his garage, and my husband watched him make some. We also went to church with him, and were friends. His name was Charles Herman, and he passed away in the past year. Miss you, Charles. ❤ Oh, I forgot - that was on Nebraska Street in Cyril, Oklahoma!
Hope you have a few leftover
Over there by Sterling &Fletcher.
Where did he get the squeeze section; were they custom made or a regular item he found in a hardware store, maybe a kids toy?
he was my father
A whole new meaning to LMAO... Lawnmower mysteries and oddities. ❤
First time I have seen a gas cap like that, great 👍 video
Good one😂😂😂😂😂😂
Push and start was the inspiration for the primers on small engines.
Always look forward to this man and how he repairs and fixes up machinery. The cat knows his stuff!
Have never heard or seen these gadgets before. But it works, and could be a nice frustration saver. Ingenious
Before ya put that on briggs caps if ya paid attention has a small hole in center of metal cap.take and put your mouth on it and blow and there ya go it runs.used to do it all the time on briggs flatheads for race karts
They had something similar for the 5hp Briggs flathead on race karts running on methanol with no choke. Was easier to just blow in the cap to get them started cold.
The track we raced at allowed these as they kept the fuel from sloshing out of a full tank, and a few of the guys we raced ran them, and they really helped starting on methanol!!! They just couldn't run them at a sanctioned event, so they would use it to prime them, then take it off and start with one or two pulls!!
It is the exact same thing and kept fuels from slopping out on like tillers and stuff. later when I raced Karts as a kid we ran alcohol so that was necessary... I remember as far back as the 1970s the Agway where I grew up you could buy em for $1.25 they used to have em hanging right where ya walked in there were gas cans & stuff on the right rakes shovels on the left. Those things also hung at the cash register. They were a big seller around here for some reasons.
I garbage picked a few mowers back in the 90s as a kid that had the push n start, i liked it it pumped the diaphragm and helped the get gas up in the reserve on the top of the tanks, its a great product
I wonder if it will show you have the defective gasket on the tank by bubbles coming out,
Hey Taryl!! These are my favorite videos! I absolutely love seeing the gadgets that people have invented to try to make a buck. I am from that generation of mowers and gadgets and enjoy seeing that stuff in action. Keep em coming Taryl!!
Enjoy seeing these old solutions to problems of the times. Very interesting. Your videos are great
simple yet effective! I looked in my junk drawer, I HAVE ONE!!
I can't find a Push-N Start anywhere. Are they still made?
@@rcnelson they are NLA but here’s a link with various brands who made them maybe one is available on EBay
smallengines.ca/ecom.asp?pg=products&specific=joppqnomk&gotogrp=&gotopgnum=63
I've never seen one of those things glad you did a video on this special tool from back in the day
Me either
I've never seen one either.
That seems like a very useful product for the correct application! Thanks, Taryl!
That's actually a slick little gadget. It's just a primer, but for someone who isn't mechanically inclined or you need a quick fix, sure. Come on, we've all been there. You can fix it right, but you need it going NOW.
Briggs made the pulsa prime carbs right after this hit the shelves 😁😁
I learn something new every day. Thanks for the show-n-tell.
On old Caterpillar bulldozers, they came with two engines on one tractor: a small, 2-cylinder gas engine (aka: pony engine) that would start the larger, diesel engine. One day a fella couldn't get his pony engine to start so he did the "Push N Start" by sealing the gas tank spout with his mouth and blew. It worked. Thanks for video.
I operated a TD-18 cable dozer that started on gasoline and with a flip of a lever went from gasoline to diesel.
We also had a D-2 and a D-4 with a pony motor like you are referring to.
Tarrell you should have told what the push n start did at beginning- i had no idea until you said a t end it pressurized the tank
@@akbychoice International right! As a kid, i can remember a crew building a road close to our farm with 2 dozers and 2 scrapers. They had one International dozer that started like that. It may have been a TD-24 though? There was a Cat too but i don't recall if that one was a pony start. D7 or D8 i think?
@@thomasglenn1454 What did you and the 3 Upvoters, so far, to your comment think it was doing?!!! Now i know why manufacturers had to come up with Automatic Chokes for the mechanically incompetent.
@@KStewart-th4sk Everybody's gotta learn. Everybody's at different levels. Inspire or kill desire.
Dinosaur mower+Dinosaur farts+oddball accessory =Yeah Buddy!🤣💪👍
You guys rock at the Grass Rats Garage!
Ha, you said dupa. My Polish grandmother used to say that!
😜
Wanda dupa (nice butt).
Ha! As did mine. She used to yell at us kids after dinner to was our dupas. Man I miss the kapusta and shashiska ( Im sure I misspelled) she used to make. Amazing how Him using that one word brought back so many great memories from my childhood. Life was much simpler then.
My Stihl weed cutter has a primer which I assume as you say, this thing does just that. My Stihl chainsaw doesn't and is a lot harder to start. I remember years ago the first time I'd use my lawnmower each year I'd usually have to pull the plug and pour a bit of gas in to get it to start. This would certainly be easier, and a lot safer than trying to use the starter fluid.
Thankfully I haven't had to do that with my present mower that has a Honda engine. Only issue is that the linkages got caught in some brush and I ended up having to adjust the governor. (Thanks for the video showing me how.) Now it starts right up but the linkage seems to stick and at first the engine runs too fast until I jiggle the linkage, then everything is fine. (But heck, the mower is about 10 years old and I keep about an acre mowed so it is pretty used.)
Many years ago I had a small shop and I offered these for sale.
Thank you for sharing.👍
Yes I have one of those. In the mid 80s my father in law and I went to Louisville Kentucky for the hardware and equipment show. We picked up many gadgets this is one of them and it does work 👍
Back on the farm in the '60's we had a tiller with that 3.5HP Briggs & Stratton. Huge garden and that thing did a ton of work every summer keeping the weeds down between the rows of potatoes. Dad was still using it decades later when he sold the farm and moved to town. Mom and Dad kept a smaller garden then. He has passed now. I think my brother still has it and no doubt it would still start even though he didn't use it. I remember that choke though, it became pretty well a ritual to pull the cleaner off, stick the threaded rod in to hold the choke open and fire it up. Never seen this oddity before though.
I wish I had push and start when I was younger pulling the heck out of those old 3.5s lol
I have one of these. These work great.
It helps a lot when the diaphragm is getting -
Hard as a carp!!!
If the choke butterfly sticks open in them either the choke butterfly shaft is sticking or the bimetal spring is broken in it.
When my 3 horsepower Briggs and Stratton powered lawnmowers choke stuck shut after letting the mower sit for 10 minutes after using it ,it was because the engine had lost compression & I had already replaced the choke diaphragm at the base of the carburettor.
The fix was to replace the piston rings so that the engine has enough vacuum to operate the choke diaphragm to open the choke butterfly valve !
I usually just did a valve job
For years now, I just seal my face against the gas tank neck and give it a big breath of air. Just hold it a few seconds, you can feel the pressure build. Almost always works. Course the filler neck has to be somewhere that you can get at. Even works on engines with a fuel pump. Big old Wisconsins, Kohlers, tractors. Also, sometimes use a fuel primer bulb for outboard engines. Allow enough hose so the bulb can lay on the ground, pump it with your foot. Put the suction hose in a can of fresh gas. The bulb will get hard when the needle seats or gas will run out of the carb if it doesn't. A lot of older engines have a drain plug in the bottom of the fuel bowl. Flush the bowl and fuel lines. Worth a try, get fresh gas in there.
This guy is so great….thanks Mr. Taryl!
Taryl Dactyl for President! Maybe he can fix America...
Thats a nice one Taryl. Never seen that around here but seems to work great.
This is such a good idea. I can even see this possibly pushing loose crud out of the carb ports. A primer bulb is actually not a new thing so it surprises me this didn't happen sooner.
Awesome thanks for sharing
That's fkn nuts. I'd never buy a thing like that.
That was fun to see Taryl. Thanks!
Neat to see differant old items And it worked
Really Kool! Never seen one. But definitely makes sense 😃 I like it
Sick burn on the reverse mortgage, I love Taryl.
That is actually a good idea-wish I had thought of it!
That’s a neat thing, never heard of it before
Worth a try
Just a tip, you can rock the pushmower back and forth to prime the fuel bowl😉
Looks like a great tool.Keep up the good work.
Wow that's amazing i'm gonna have to look for that one
I never had one, but it would have started my snow blower that had a plugged needle valve!
A very clever device! I had to take the carb off, breaking the choke linkage, and clean the carb out. I added a shut-off valve, so I don't have to do it again, but this “Push and Start” would have cleared the clog! (I still have to fix the choke)
1:06 I bought that Murray 20 inch with the 3.5 HP Vantage Tecumseh for 25$ in 2014 here in Detroit. Still runs & works. Got another 3.5 HP vantage from a busted coleman pressure scrubber that runs like a top I'm throwing on the Murray cause it needs a new shaft seal Ill do later. Nice to see what it looks like before being all beat up haha. I want that Push n start for my breaks n scrapem edger with that carb on gas tank nonsense. Off to fleabay
I need one of those for my Craftsman 18hp Kohler garden tractor. The thing is always hard to start when it has been sitting and I've found that if I blow some air into the gas tank for 5 or 6 seconds the tractor starts much quicker. If not, I'm cranking the thing for 10 to 15 seconds before it starts.
I think that’s something they could bring back ! I’d use it for sure !
Very clever idea. I never saw one before.
Never heard of but very interesting. And I’ll try to find one and try it out
Good idea especially on the older units!
Electric mowers you won't need gas
Smart gadget and keeps also those good old Birggs engines going,
I have used compressed air in the gas tank of snowmobiles, chainsaws, riding lawn mowers, and push mowers when they won't start , it always works. Whether the hang up is in the fuel filter or the carburetor the compressed air pushes the gas through to make it function again
That's pretty ingenious. I've NEVER seen it. 😂 Ur hilarious! Will join u on FB.
That’s a pretty neat idea on those old mowers
I could have used that on an old Jacobsen I had years ago with the old school 3HP vertical pull Breaks & Scrapem on it. Had the heavy disc with the four cutters on it for blades and it was a bear to get started without persuasion.
This was cool never seen that before.
This would be great for diagnostic purposes, too.
Good point😊
Never seen one . Pretty cool !! 👍🏻
I could use that now on my 1982 Toro. B&S engine is very similar to your test engine. I gotta pull 6-8 times to start it cold. Okay when warm.
Wow, I'm buying some today, thanks T!
Love this ! Could this work on a 2009 Briggs& Stratton 23 hp where when cold, I have to take off the air filter and spray starter fluid?
I like it! Surprised they don't still make this...
My dad sold these in his shop back in the late 90s and early 2000s. I haven't thought about them in many years!!
That push and start is a pretty cool tool to have on a lawn mower.👍
For an old mower that tank was spotless!
Never seen it before but I like it. I’m gona get one.
Works! Wow!
LOL. Love the reverse mortgage shot
Those classic Briggs engines like that could get very frustrating to start if not maintained well; I remember seeing those caps at my local farm store back in the 1990s😊
Minor pull starter regurtation....takes me back😂
Any parts for a 70E johnyseed ? This old girl, (maybe will call her , joaneyseed) is still running and a cutting! well mantained , gets vp oil mix and a sharp chain before every job. At 65 Im still older than it( believe its 1975 or maybe through 78) Always learning about small engines, AND YOU HAVE HELPED GREATLY! Looking foward to a visit to your shop someday, after i load up my has beens and no wants and find a place for them far from the nutmeg state.haha! You take care and keep up the great work with your sons.. Oh semper fi! ( both sons in USMC ) they love ya!
i have an old snapper with that horrible auto-choke, i was thinking about swapping out the tank and carb with a similar tank/carb that has a primer instead because the engine runs great when the "auto-choke" isn't completely ruining the air-fuel mix ratio
I LIKE THE FOOT STARTER COOL IDEA!
Great ideal as long as it holds up, but with those accordion style plastic things never seem to hold up to the weather without cracking at the seams. Maybe if you take it off and store it inside every time you use it. Now if they could make a metal one like the ones used in those old Coleman white fuel lanterns I see this being a good product.
Yeah but it would cost more than what you could buy a new mower for.
@@wmnoelmadding587 or just put a air line from a compressor through a rubber cork stopper, give it a quick blow and put the cap back on, $3 quick fix.
Your mower shouldn’t be stored outdoors anyway….
The kick start on the push lawn mower seems like a good idea.
I had a few of them back in the day. They would also help a weak diaphragm etc. kinda copies the Tecumish with a primer bulb for the Briggs….
Hahaha just discovered your channel
Love the dentition 😂
Hello , appreciate all the work you do ! I have a unique situation on my 2013 Dixon ztr 30'' zerroturn mower with a 17.5 B&S engine. just replace the starter motor with the same after market starter model # 593934. When started after the fifth time the gears /teeth / burst. Did took the starter out and used the old gear /teeth/ put on the new starter , after the the fourth start had the same problem, gears brake down again. I really appreciate any advice ,what my cost the problem. I'm in Europe and parts are kind of limited as you probably know. Any advice would be great appreciated.
Check flywheel ring gear for missing teeth
Got that Dupa reference!!😅😅
Me too, I’m Polish.
Your favorite store, Ebay has one for sale 🤓 Thanks for the entertaining vidjas. John here, from the back-roads of Northeastern Tennessee.
I looked on ebay couldn't find one, you have a link?
I looked and it says the last one that he had sold. Sorry about that. @@rogermills99 60acres Parts Manuals and Tools is the one that had them posted and Ended: Feb 22, 2024 10:23:18 PST. He initially had 5. 3 had sold in in last 24 hours.

I gotta find one of those, it definitely would help my push mower
I remember the times I really needed that thing on those engines. Particularly a 5hp Giant Vac blower, circa mid 70s.
The bowl built into the gastank has a overflow hole back to tank. If you tip the front of the mower up, it will help fill the bowl.
That's awesome!!!
Very cool 👍😎
Nice man I need to get some of your apparel
My first car was like that. My buddies would push it so I could get it started.
I remember a gas powered something I had where it was made with a rubber button. You had to pump it about 3 times for it to start. It had a hole in the middle that your finger had to go over to seal it before pumping.
That is a spare tire.
Ì have to admit that is a really cool item. Back in the day common sense and ingenuity was everywhere. The push and fart is a great idea really
Hi Taryl I am a Big Fan of your Channel i watch you every week i have asked you several times what is going on with that 318 John Deere ? I have one also it looks like it might be a permanent Fixture in your shop it has me Worried
We always used to blow into the gas tank with our mouth. It pressurized the tank and pushed gas into the carb. Works great on cold starting briggs and stratton engines.
Similar idea with this. Pretty cool.
The sound of those old Briggs is sweet- quality at its best! 🫶
Sure works just like modern primer button. Would have proably bought one , but never saw one. Do you ever sell any of the older push mowers?
I'll tell you what I think - It looks like a goofy Halloween eyeball!
I guess this is where the idea for purge bulbs/primer bulbs came from.
Pretty neat little device!
I have one on my old snapper and it works great.
You are still the best, Tayrl!
I like it!👍
Amazing product
Oh Great CoalGate Smile One we luv your channel.😬
