Hi mick could you tell me how to reset the governor arm on the rs100 hp414. Mountfield plastic mower the same one in your video. Got it from someone who undone the pinch bolt at the bottom of the govnor are with the little half moon that you adjust. Mower will start but revs at max power it is a push mower.

All faith in you Mick getting it going, i did one the same every time i cleaned the carb i was getting little black lumps in the carb washed out tank and cleaned filter but still the same, i ended up renewing the fuel pipe not a problem after doing that 👍👍
I did same with a honda spent all day cleaning and recleaning carb. I didn't tighten it up enough so imagine air leaks? Also a sprint 375 briggs and Stratton. Cleaning carb etc but Turned out it was new spark plug
Mate, I had the same issue on a 6.5 Kohler, turned out to be the fuel tank filter was clogged badly, great job. Now I have a Lawn-Boy, a newer one 2019 6.5 Kohler, I've been through this thing about 5 times, so I'm down in front of it, sitting Indian style, leggs crossed, spark plug unplugged, for safety, and the mower up on my knees, adjusting the valves, it didn't dawn on me, for a bit, but when I turned the blade by hand hardly is any compression, Hmmmmm, I know what it is, but I thought a blown head gasket ok, but I know not always will you hear air excape from the blown gasket, but I took out the new spark plug, and low and behold, the electrode is covered in carbon, I bet you the intake or exaust valve is hung or stuck open with a chunk of carbon, I will let you know tomorrow..... Great fix BTW.
Hi Steve hope you enjoyed Micks video as much as me. So glad you show your failures Mick it makes me feel better when I fail too. Keep them coming my friend and all the best!
Hi Steve I hope you enjoyed that video mate, I laughed when Mick pushed it away at the end. If only he had checked that fuel flow when he pulled the pipe off the carb 😂. Maybe he’ll check it next time. Enjoy the cap
I've heard of those hidden filters causing havoc, I've yet to find one but if I do it's going in the bin and an inline filter will replace it so you can see it.
Mick, just wanted to say a big thank you for the video you posted regarding the carb cleaning of a Mountfield RS100/SP414 petrol mower. My neighbour had a terrible surging on his, so being the helpful guy I am took it off him and proceeded to search the net for a resolution. Your video was spot on and helped anticipate what lay ahead, including which jet was ultimately to blame !! I'm looking to strip my Tecumseh carb next and give the old girl a service with my new found confidence........ Keep up the good work and hope your family are keeping well.
had a 414 for a short time. one front wheel was working its way off. air filter cover drops off then the pull cord mech broke so traded the thing. glad the shop took it. well done Mick
I realise that this is many an instructional video, but it would be worth pointing out any maintenance/ repair to a fuel system should include removal and flushing out of fuel tank. I drum this into the lads in our workshop. Great set of videos. Cheers.
Hi Mick do you think a lot of people will have their hands burnt buying battery? I know apparently technology has jumped in leaps and bounds but onve battery gone every couple of years its gonna cost a fortune replacing Shout out to Stephen ❤
Hi Mick. I'm glad those bits will be of use 😁 My ultra sound has been constantly in use since the ethanol based fuel was introduced. It's surprising how it can turn a really mucky float bowl into looking new. Your not the only one that struggles with those dip sticks.
Much easier to remove and reinstall the throttle linkage and damper spring with the carb pulled out on the studs about 40mm so it lines up with the slot on the black plastic actuator on the carb. It just lifts out. Easy, no need for pliers! Same when replacing. Put the fuel line back on once the throttle linkage is reconnected. Works on virtually all OHV engines. David
Those Mountfield 414's and the silver 41 models with the old sumec engine can be a pain to get right if the carb isn't cleaned. Top tip wind the plastic screw that sets the revs all the way all these chinese engines run so much better with a bit more throttle. There is one annoying thing with those Tecumseh engines fitted on those ATCO's as the carb they use is a Tiltson which is no longer available even in aftermarket form, only the Deltoro type on the Qualcast versions. A good reasonable price engine swap for the ATCO could be a Loncin, seen a few fitted to various Qualcast Suffolk Punch mowers. By the way further the conversation we had regarding a leaky HP42 mower, I re cleaned the carb again, found a small amount of dirt that obivously decided to not disapear after the first clean and so far so good no leak. Glad its sorted as its a mower we have serviced and repaired for someone. Runs lovely now, espescially with the speed screw wound all the way in.

Hi Mick a question, what is the part UNDER the idle circuit screw called please bud? And where can i get a replacement if poss? Mine is well and truly blocked and have tried EVERYthing i can think of but still blocked so is a replacement poss? Or is it a new carby? Cheers for ALL of your helpful vids buddy
@@themowerman I've actually got two, an Izy and a RV40 Mountfield. Both got 'treated!' however the Izy seems fine, better than before I did it. The RV40's a bit spluttery, but maybe no more than previously. I'm using 5w/40 which I now realise isn't correct. I'll change it next year. Cheers BTW, yeah I know I'm an idiot!

HUNTING IS LEAN.
HONDA GENERATORS THAT HUNT NEED MAIN JET INCREASING ONE SIZE.
TINY DRILL SETS ON EBAY ABOUT £4.
FIND DRILL THAT FITS JET, THEN USE NEXT ONE UP
IF NOT CURED GO ANOTHER SIZE UP....
WORKS ON HUNTINGG FLYMOS AS THE PETROL HAS LOWER CALORIFIC VALUE THAN IN 80'S
Also the slow idle jet.. not just the main jet.. same way to fix it..
Hi, Stevie J, glad to see you enjoy Mick's Mowers as much as we all do!! Send him a picture with you and the cap.!! All the best.

Hi Steve hope you enjoyed Micks video as much as me. So glad you show your failures Mick it makes me feel better when I fail too. Keep them coming my friend and all the best!
Thanks again!
Great find Mick, build up the cash reserves!
Hi Steve I hope you enjoyed that video mate, I laughed when Mick pushed it away at the end. If only he had checked that fuel flow when he pulled the pipe off the carb 😂. Maybe he’ll check it next time. Enjoy the cap
I managed to win 2 Hayter Harrier 48s for £16 yesterday 👍
I've heard of those hidden filters causing havoc, I've yet to find one but if I do it's going in the bin and an inline filter will replace it so you can see it.
18 quid, bargin, leave the key start on it ( i would ). Glad you got that one sorted. Top video.
Steven I hope you enjoy the cap, your a lucky man 👍👍
Runs well now, patience and carb cleaner, great combination 👏

Hi.. so glad the video was of some help to you .. I had nearly 1000 videos on the channel to cover most problems... Glad to have helped..
I have those days normally 450e do me in to the point its easier to just put a 35classic on them 😂👏👏👏🍻👍🤠
I'm hearing ya
had a 414 for a short time. one front wheel was working its way off. air filter cover drops off then the pull cord mech broke so traded the thing. glad the shop took it. well done Mick

I hear ya.. thanks for the comment
BINGO, same model Mick and VERY same issue so this vid is perfect thanks m8😊
Fantastic
Hi Mick do you think a lot of people will have their hands burnt buying battery? I know apparently technology has jumped in leaps and bounds but onve battery gone every couple of years its gonna cost a fortune replacing
Shout out to Stephen ❤
I believe we are not quite there yet with battery... The concept is good but its not as green as people think it is
Watched it all mick👍, would a small in line filter fit somewhere might be good idea ..enjoyed the production sunday morning
Morning mate .. it does have one it the tank and I may install another.. ta for watching mate I appreciate it
Enjoy your cap Steven.
414 they can drive you mad.😈
Thank you for the video
leave as is, lovely machine
Hi Mick.
I'm glad those bits will be of use 😁
My ultra sound has been constantly in use since the ethanol based fuel was introduced. It's surprising how it can turn a really mucky float bowl into looking new.
Your not the only one that struggles with those dip sticks.
Have you ever tried using compressed air to clean the jets on the carb? If so, why do you prefer to use tools instead of air?
I do compress them as well.. just don't always show it in the video due to noise..
why did you say the infamous torch plug?? my einhell has one and is a sod to start.. is it the plug?????
I would change it for an NGKBPR6ES
Hi Steve Jacobs
Hello Steve ✌️.
Hello Steven 👍
Nice fix 👍🏻
You being Mick the lawn mower Man will get it fixed and running again 😊
Good job mick
Smoke it, stoke it or poke it Micky boy - always gets a reaction lol
Lol

It's the slow idle jet or circuit.. some thumb drills will sort it
@@themowerman sorted it mick took a few blasts of carb cleaner tho thanks buddy
@@stevepritchett7123 fantastic.. well done
I had similar problem not long ago turned out to be a slightly loose intake tube on a Briggs and Stratton classic
Yeah that would do it
Thanks for your videos mate and I hope the family is well 🙂👍
Hi we’re best to get parts for a mower
eBay or Amazon
Mick I added about 50ml of Redex to my Mower, I'm now worried I've wrecked it! 😮
What's it doing now
@@themowerman I've actually got two, an Izy and a RV40 Mountfield. Both got 'treated!' however the Izy seems fine, better than before I did it. The RV40's a bit spluttery, but maybe no more than previously. I'm using 5w/40 which I now realise isn't correct. I'll change it next year. Cheers BTW, yeah I know I'm an idiot!
@@ChrisPatrick-q6k not at all.. it's all about information... Hope they get through the winter ok.
@@themowerman Thanks, maybe I got away with it.
Great job mate, always had faith in you 🤣 Looking forward to the Balmoral video next - if you need anything that you haven’t got, drop us a line, cheers Jamie 👍🏻
Will do mate ...
