Thank you so much for this. I don’t need a 40 minute video going fully in depth. In 4 minutes you explained the mechanics behind the mechanism and helped me identify that I just needed to adjust my cable. Thank you!!
You are welcome. My goal to is to keep the videos short but informative. That doesn't always get them to the top of the search page.
I agree, I don't like seeing 30 minute videos with only 4 minutes of useful information
Great video! The explanation showing the belt and how it works is perfect. Turns out the belt on mine had come off of the spindle but it was still in good shape and intact. Taking off the housing with 2 hex bolts and reseating the belt and reattaching the housing, fixed the self-propel. Easy fix. This avoided so much heartache. Thank you so much!
You are welcome. Thanks for watching the video and the kind words.
Holy cow it sounds like you designed this mower.Best explanation I have come across.
Thank you very much. You were the only one I found on YT to describe this troubleshoot so detailed!!!!!!!!!!!!
You are welcome, it's my pleasure to help. Unfortunately, the video likely will not end up on the first search page, it's not getting a lot of views.
Thank you for a very straight to the point video, I got lucky you were my first to watch and told me everything I wanted to know and no bs talk about whatever else, thank you!
You are welcome. I aim to make quality videos, though they don't always come to the top of the search page. There are hundreds of repair/help videos on the channel. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.
Thanks for the concise and informative video. After watching, I was able to quickly diagnose my mower's problem and get it going again.
You are welcome.
What a fantastic, systematic explanation.
Thanks for this. Clear and straight to the point. Very helpful
You are welcome. Hopefully it will help you to figure out what is wrong with your mower.
Thank you, super clear explanation, helped me troubleshoot and fix!
You're welcome! It's my pleasure to help.
Thanks again! Twice in as many days.
Your lawn looks quite healthy there 👏🏻
I've had a lot of videos I wanted to make. I finally found the time to get them published. Usually, by the end of July the weeds are going crazy and the grass is semi dormant. July has been cooler than usual and we have had plenty of Thunderstorms rolling through to water the grass. I do feed the lawn with corn gluten meal. No pesticides.
@@Know-How-Now Cool weather? Awesome. So much of the US under crazy heat warnings these days I see.
Good to hear you don't use pesticides on your lawn 👌🏼
This video saved me money. Thank you!
You are welcome, it's my pleasure to help.
Great explanation! Thanks
You're welcome.
Thanks! Helped me a lot! Turns out I had a piece of wood chip stuck in my pulley. Pulled it out and it’s working fine again.
You are welcome! Happy mowing.
Great video. Thank you
You are welcome.
Thank you! My belt was just off the pully
You are welcome!
Thank you
You are welcome.
Lemme guess. The underneath chamber that holds the drive mechanism has let in enough dirt and clippings to form a cementous mixture and completely jammed it up?
Think you
You are welcome.
As soon as I pick up the back wheels they spin but when I put it down they grind. The teeth don't look super chewed up so idk
You wouldn't believe the grass clippings these mowers can hold in belt areas ect
It should get the viewa
After replacing the drive cable I reassembled the Smart Drive control but it doesn’t engage the transmission, instead the lever rotates completely around the handle. Any suggestions?
Maybe the pin in the handle is not catching? ruclips.net/video/ImPe3vdtfrY/видео.html
@@Know-How-Now yes I think that is the problem. I used the RepairClinic video as the guide to replacing the cable. Perhaps I now need to replace the twist accuator as it doesn’t seem to hold the pin in place once the levers are adjusted. Thank you.
Thank you .
You are welcome.
I found out what my problem was- I had attached the end of the drive cable to the transmission before I attached it to the Smart Drive controller. This put too much tension on the controller so the pin did not properly seat in the adjustor . You must attach the drive cable to the Smart Drive controller and completely reassemble the controller before attaching the cable to the transmission. Once everything is put back together you make your final adjustments on the adjustment turnbuckle.
Good to hear you figured out what was wrong. Thanks for letting us know, it might help someone else. Have a great day.
What if my wheels arent clicking..what would keep the click away?
If you haven't taken the wheels off/changed anything, then it's likely gunked up. There is a gear with a spring and key in each rear wheel.
Thanks for the reply. I actually went in looking for that and they weren't there. I'm working on a HRN216WYA. What I discovered was that the L shaped ratcher (Honda part #42669-vR8-N01) was missing. Luckily I found one on a spare parts unit I hadn't stripped clean yet and got it propelling again .
Good to hear to figured it out.
Hmm, self-propel stopped working. If I turn the wheels backwards I don't hear an clicking, and the axle doesn't turn no matter which way I turn the wheels.
Same problem here. 3rd time I’ve had this issue. Will not be going with Honda every again
These honda self propelled mowers have a GIGANTIC FLAW! Honda in their infinite wisdom decided a tiny red straw inside the fuel line would work well as a fuel filter. NOPE! it lets crap clog up the tiny little jet inside the carb and your honda is dead in the water. So to avoid this issue you have to put a real fuel filter inline with the fuel hose. Unfortunately I have searched everywhere to find a super short filter with the right inlet and outlets...And let me tell you thats about as rare as hens teeth. The amazon filters i ended up with have a tiny inlet /outlet that are so short they only have 1 single barb so of course they pop off and let all your gas leak out. Had to JB weld the POS filter just to sort of get it to fit!
And on a side note I cant stand the jig saw puzzle that is the carburetor and all the crap that mounts to it. I hope yall never have to take one off because you need 3 hands and some reference pictures to put the damn thing back together. I am EXTREMELY disappointed in honda. Will never buy another one of these mowers!!!!
