    Great video! It looked to me like the springs were not stretched enough to pull the governor vane back after you would let it go. Those engines will run forever if taken care of!!

    Good video. I learned how to get the emulsion tube out of this type carb!! Thanks for the education.

    Awesome video, one thing. The blade is facing the wrong way.

    Theses still sale fast in the used mower market 😊
    I call them cemeteries mowers because they are light and reliable for small plots 😅

    Nice flip! I feel like push mowers are significantly easier and less complicated to fix than weed whackers, leaf blowers and even bigger riding mowers. Have you noticed that too? Cheers!

      Thanks! From my experience I think it depends on the manufacturer of the two-stroke equipment and how easily *they* want them to be repair/maintained for the price point they sell at. Some are vastly easier than others, sometimes to the point they're easier and quicker to fix than push mowers with the added bonus you can do everything from a bench instead of from the ground. Riding mowers are a whole other story lol, but I don't see a lot of those in my area.

    Great, thorough video on the nice lil’ Briggs classic! I think the governor vane might still be just a little bit sticky, could be more mouse gunk hanging it up on the bottom near the engine block. I think that’s why it revs up and down for a few seconds when it’s first started. These are such great engines, glad you took the time to bring it back!

      I think you’re right! Especially since the oscillation has been slowly disappearing the more I start it

    I have had the pick-up tube loose wouldnt suck up gas. I pull them out warm up the end with a lighter push it against a object to squash it and expand it a little re install. Now tight.

    Good service! Spark plug gap is usually .030 on most mowers and .025 for blowers and trimmers. Also, I would have checked the coil too, since you are there and checked the air vein bolt. Always best to double check. Good find on blade mounted upside down.

    • @BackyardRepairs
      @BackyardRepairs  21 день тому

      Thanks! I saw your comment and checked again and you are right with the gap being 0.030", I must have been looking at the wrong thing when I first searched. Thanks for the tips!

    How you clean it up
    Degrees or
    Power wash
    Or this wipe down
    With WD 40
    Or pledge Furniture Polish

    • @BackyardRepairs
      @BackyardRepairs  3 дні тому +1

      I don’t clean them all the same way each time and just wing it based on how dirty they are. If they’re bad I’ll use degreaser and loosen dirt with a brush then spray them down with regular hose pressure. Some just need a rinse and a wipe down/brush. I very rarely will use a pressure washer bc I don’t like blowing the labels off.
      I’ve never thought to use pledge, does that work well?
