    The quality of this video is substantially improved over your older videos.The audio is so much clearer and easily understood. The content and the steps taken to diagnose are professionally described . Such a pleasure to follow and learn from you. Keep teaching ARCH!

      Thankyou very much,,,its been a battle for me. I had a camera burn out, other issues. I was using one of my camera's incorrectly. In this video I had noise issues. I only have one mic and the camera mics now. This stuff is expensive. Lighting is an issue. Its hard but back to basics & learning! I kinda learn ad hoc, It may seem like a steady improvement but behind the scenes its leaps & bounds.
      Thanks for sticking it out!

      Thanks wes! This is an older video. I've been working to improve the process. There's no user manual on how to make these videos. One can watch others do it but good luck when ya try it for yourself!

    Excellent video professionally done, especially liked the over dubbing of the audio to make it very clear. Keep up the great work from the OLD MAN at EP over and out!

      Thanks,, I'm still having issues with the audio. I tend to run the mic too Hot. I'm used to live performing in bands. Those mics are different and things need to be loud. Not here...
      I find it hard to pull all these elements together but practice def helps

      Thanks Ed, I'm getting better with lighting but the audio is still a problem. A shop isn't a studio! I'm learning slowly how to light and shoot, next I will make improvements to the audio! I tend to run the mic too Hot!

    Followed this whole repair, and though it now runs, unfortunately, the rocker cover is now leaking oil instead. I did not use RTV on it, but I did notice one of the bolt holes may be stripped. Any ideas?

    • @TheNovaJohn

      Before you pull the cover take a look at this video on installing a heli-coil.
      Its not a great video, I was on a project and thought lemme just make something until I have more time. These are cheap and easy to do and it will fix it properly without breaking off that bolt ear!
      Then use the RTV as I suggest

      @@TheNovaJohn just super frustrating when you do a repair 90% correct only to find a new issue/create a new one. Little bit of a learning curve as I’d never taken the head off of a mower before yesterday!

    My exhaust valve is not stuck but for some reason it does not open or close when I spin the flywheel. Theres no event happening on the exaust side. The intake open and closes as it should. Any ideas why or what I should check?

    • @TheNovaJohn

      Well if ya watched the video you see that I found the cam/lifter was stuck.
      That said, it is possible that the cam lobe got wiped out.
      Go back and check the video, its been a while since I did this video.
      Its very hard to diagnose without having a machine in front of me, seeing its condition or knowing the history.

    What causes the key way to strip???
    I’m trying to figure out if oil flooded the cly and lockdown, could have blown gasket then
    What do you think ????

    • @TheNovaJohn
      @TheNovaJohn  Рік тому +1

      Generally, the blade hit something hard, pressure then rises very fast and can blow a head gasket

      lol,,,its a figure of speech, meaning you cant hold your finger on the hole. It wont hurt and it wont remove your finger!

    • @philliphall5198
      @philliphall5198 Рік тому

      No it’s not very high pressure at all
      Just don’t stick your finger in it (hole)
