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!
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
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!!
@@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
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.
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.)
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.
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.
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.
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.
@@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.
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 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
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.
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
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 👍
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.
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
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.
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)
Cool idea. I have concerns with it. But before that I assume you know on the B and S engines that choke is controlled by a diaphragm, that is also the seal between the gas tank and the carburetor and often it get a crack in it and then the choke will not work right. Just replace that and your starting problems are better or over. Now back to my concern: most regular gas caps are made to stop gas from getting out but also vented enough to let air in, so this device, is it vented????? Other wise after you use it to start the engine you should remove it and put the regular cap back on, or else in a few minutes to maybe 15 minutes the engine stop and will not start till you press more air into it again.
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.
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 still run auto choke on a 4 hp ...... cold starts all i do is turn the mower on its side 2 or 3 seconds [ spark plug down ] it must fill the carb bowl 1 pull it starts ? so all i had to do was make a hose and blow on the tank . like i do with my opposed twin. ride on . and fill the bowl
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!
Had a push mower with a Push N Start on it and no matter how fast or far you pushed the mower, it just wouldn't start. Taryl must be using some Hollywood editing magic in this vid!
Hey Terrell, I have one of these auto choke carburetors on my lawnmower and I cannot get it to work for the life of me. If you have any tips to get it going, that would be awesome. Also if you know if I can swap the primer style carburetor onto it that would be awesome.
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.
As Ken P. Said, you could blow into the tank of a racing kart running metanol on a cool day, and "Fire it up!!". It filled the secondary fuel bowl, and wet the diaphragm. .
Great tool to diagnose. If issues with the carb such as trash . Maybe your gaskets pump weak on the carb. Could work until trash runs threw or the pump gasket may start working again. Maybe the gas cap stopped up. Absolutely could work . Cleaning the tank ,carb, and new gaskets would fix it. I like it. Nice tool to help in diagnoses. Possibly could make you think the problem is fixed. It could fix it. All about how much money you want to put into your mower. Very handy. How convenient if they make one for new mowers with vacuum style pumps that go bad on most riding mowers today. Help diagnose them style pumps and fuel cap. Other ways of doing this. Remarkable tool. Love it or hate it. Still cool
I went totally SLACKJAWED WIDE OPEN when you actually started that mower after hitting that "push and start". What the FRACK is that?!?!?! OMG!!!! I WANT ONE!!!!!!!! WTF?!?!?! Why don't ALL mowers have these ALL built into the dang things?!?!?

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.
The kick start on the push lawn mower seems like a good 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….
This would be great for diagnostic purposes, too.
Good point😊
Cool idea for engines that didn’t have a primer. So simple but so effective.

Check flywheel ring gear for missing teeth

Sick burn on the reverse mortgage, I love Taryl.
Works! Wow!
I think the new lawn mowers have something similar, but the call it a primer. Old technology is still around but in different form or name.
Where do I get one? I have a POS Remington mower that I have had at repair shop three times and you still have to prime it to get it to start

If you turn the lawnmower over to the carb side it fills with gas then you can just put it back down and it will start then. That primes with gravity.
I went totally SLACKJAWED WIDE OPEN when you actually started that mower after hitting that "push and start". What the FRACK is that?!?!?! OMG!!!! I WANT ONE!!!!!!!! WTF?!?!?! Why don't ALL mowers have these ALL built into the dang things?!?!?
I have one on my old snapper and it works great.
That’s pretty neat.
