    Lightweight is good and what did I use it for it’s a lawnmower ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxTPN04aT-Qdjr_KS3ql7ng8wnU3wwsCqk also recommend Yes it is lightweight so hence not as robust as our old one. But if you take care it does the job really well.

Hey,today my mower was running pretty good while i mowed the yard,but it just shutted off,i opened the carbonator and cleaned it off and everything looks good and fine,it sparked and started up,but then it shutted off again.What do you think i need? Any advice is great advice.Thank you!

    • @BlakesBuilds
      @BlakesBuilds  12 днів тому +2

      If you cleaned the carburetor and it starts up but dies on its own, it's safe to say either the carb is still dirty or the gas tank has dirt in it, and it made the carb dirty again. Or you could have bad gas, check the gas you have in it for water or dirt. The likely thing is the carburetor is still dirty. Make sure you put everything together correctly and sprayed through all the holes with carb or brake cleaner, and reassemble. If it's still doing this, try replacing the carb, sometimes dirt just doesn't want to come out.

    You don’t have a gasket on your carb. I have one on mine. I wonder why? It goes where the carb attaches to the gas tank.

    • @BlakesBuilds
      @BlakesBuilds  9 місяців тому

      Yes, a gasket goes between the carburetor and the gas tank before you screw it down. This makes a seal so no gas leaks out.

    • @BlakesBuilds
      @BlakesBuilds  3 місяці тому +1

      It's been years since this video has been made, and one thing I forgot to do was provide a part number. However you can easily find the carburetor on Amazon, just search from the sticker on the mower that says the brand and model and hp, and match it to the pictures of the ones that come up. That's what I always did! Hope this helps.

    If you spray brake clean by the spark plug when testing for spark, its gunna catch on fire. You can just have someone hold the spark plug tip on yhe head of the motor

    • @BlakesBuilds
      @BlakesBuilds  4 місяці тому +1

      Brake cleaner will not catch on fire outside of the spark plug hole. The spray is going inside the hole and you tighten back down the spark plug before starting it on the fluid. The only "fire" would be the cylinder firing if you have spark. This test is superior to the spark plug ground test because if the engine runs on flammable fluid, that means you know you have spark, you have compression, valves are functioning, and there probably isn't internal damage. Is there a small chance for a fire outside the motor? It's not impossible, but a little fire for 2 seconds does not cause harm to anything. You would have to dump gas all over the engine for it to cause damage

    I've NEVER liked someone shoving their choice of music in their viewer's face. If you want to do a music vid, DO A MUSIC VID. I come here to learn about mowers, and I hate to have to mute the sound in case I miss some instructions etc. (BTW, I put myself through university in large part by playing in bar-bands, so no, I don't hate rock. But...a time and a place...) ALSO, do you know how many different types of mowers (and so types of carbs) there are out there? You don't even mention the brand. I can see it's a Briggs and Stratton but ONLY because I caught a glimpse of the sticker on the tank. I have a mower with a 158cc B&S, and the carb is different from yours. So please avoid generic assurances like the one you made here and SPECIFY what kind of mower and carb. On 2nd thought, maybe just stick with music vids.
