    My dad was a lawnmower, car, and motorcycle mechanic for fifty years and watching you fix stuff reminds me of him. He was always partial to WheelHorse and my brother has the last one he restored. It was a LawnRanger. Keep up the great videos.

      You are so correct!! And in this screwed up world today, we need men like our dads now more than ever. Instead, we've got a whole generation growing up not knowing from one day to the next, if they want to be a male, a female, or something in between. Maybe they might even want to be a toaster, a door knob, or a motor boat. Who knows.@@stevew270

    Got a call on a cub cadet that had a transmission problem. Had no get up and go when the handle was depressed. Pulled the belt cover off. Found the belt was not under the idler pulley. Home depot had worked on it. They had taken the belly pan off , and lo and behold, it was missing. No one knows where it ran off to. Total time for the repair was 10 minutes, which included taking the belt cover off. The owner was happy to pay $100.00, for the repair. He was very grateful, as he had to shovel his entire driveway by hand. ( note: he ordered a new belly pan from cub cadet.) Make sure equipment runs correctly, before taking it home from Home Depot.

    This reminds me when I used to work for Namco Cybertainment 35 years ago. We would send something back to home office and 3 weeks later it would come back with a tag on it with the date and time and usually it had a big NPF in red marker on it. I'd put the item back in the arcade machine and it would still not work, so I called my regional manager and said hey this NPF tech is worthless he never repairs anything. After about 5 minutes of John "regional manager" laughing he said that's not the technicians initials that stands for 'No Problem Found". From that day on John would call me NPF every time he saw me or talked to me.
    I love your videos have a Merry Christmas and a safe but Happy New Year.

    D'ju see it? First thing Taryl did was isolate the coil. That's experience speaking. When I ran AAA wrecker service the first thing I did was ask the stranded customer if the transmission was in park. My boss didn't like that though because at least 1/2 the time the customer would come back to the phone and say "hey it's running now" so we didn't get paid for a service call. When I was a kid, the repair guy used to stick his finger into the gas tank and then into his mouth and say the gas was bad if there was none. We learn to use "logic" when we are faced with a failure, but we also know where to look from experience. Taryl, where'd you get that digital name tag? Pretty cool. ben/ michigan

    Had a similar but different problem with a 2015 sears string trimmer. A nice unit, bought cheap used at a flea market, with straight shaft, automatic enrichment and easy start. It would take a huge number of pulls and starting fluid to get it started, and then run for a short period of time, and choke out and die. After much fussing, I reversed the wire connectors on the enrichment solenoid on the carb, and it started up and ran fine. I figure somebody hooked up the enrichment wires backward.

    I would guess that the recall repair was done before the machine was even sold. Then the customer bought it, and when it didn't start he took it apart to see if he could fix it. Then he called Scrapum, and they advised him that it needed a new flywheel and coil without checking the serial number. Then he brought it to Taryl to straighten everything out. That was an excellent diagnosis and fix by Taryl.

    • @bertgrau3934
      @bertgrau3934 Год назад

      A friend of mine worked on a Honda powered pressure washer, it quit running after lots of trouble shooting, he changed the spark plug and it ran fine. The old plug would fire out of the engine, but wouldn't installed. He told me, I was at a loss and bought a new plug and it fired off on the first pull. He replaced the carburetor, air filter, oil, and checked the valve adjustment.

    I run into a similar problem. I bought a new splitter from Rural King run it less than half an hour. Something made a weird noise and it died. You’d pull it over and you heard a rattling. I took it in stood there when they tore apart the coil apparently the rep didn’t get the bolts tight when They had done the recall on the Briggs & Stratton replacing the flywheel and the coil. The funny thing is it was the representative/sales person from the company that had done it, they called him in. They was trying to fix it. They put another new coil on it. The guy wasn’t even smart enough to set the air gap on the coil properly. The guy was also going to leave the cooling fan on there that had two or three blades broken off of it because that had the plastic cooling fan on it. I told my sales guy from RK that I would not accept it if he (Briggs rep )put that back together like that, Sales guy (from RK ) ended up saying something and it got replaced But the Briggs & Stratton rep was going to try to pull it off on me not realizing I know how to work on stuff and I watch stuff like that The mechanic from Rural King ended up going back behind him and fixed it so a lot of times on those recalls with that coil and flywheel from what I was told they send their sales representative out from the company, and he don’t seem to know too much lol

    BTDT. I have a trifuel generator that a wood rat moved into and chewed through a wire and the propane circuit wouldn't keep running. Fixed the wire and saw there were two places to reattach but couldn't remember which one I pulled it off of. Of course I reasoned the wrong one and it still wouldn't run. Hooked it up to the other tab, heard a click and it came back to life; and yes I did a dance.

    • @nothanks9050
      @nothanks9050 Год назад +1

      My newer kohler command pro v twin 18hp/19hp version horizontal has an anti back fire solenoid, supposed to plug the main jet stop fuel going in after shut down. Make sure main jet is clear, mine was partially blocked causing lean running and over heating which caused the engine to run on after shutdown and back fire. Cleaning that main jet and solenoid thing solved the backfiring, started and ran ok, looking down the main jet towards light looked fine, clear small round hole, but after cleaning it /air/spray/wire the true size of the jet was revealed, looked more than twice as big. Easy to Access behind the throttle lever panel on mine, might a good idea to clean carb anyway (I did but it was clean 2018/450 hrs), 2 screws hold solenoid, pull brass part behind, clean that too, main jet down that hole. Yours is older, might be different but probably not if much. Mine has a sticker to say leave throttle half way open for this valve on shutdown too. It's still pretty much idling at that point, mines on a wood chipper not a mower so your cable/lever setup might be different. Head gasket is common problem on these things too. Mine blew internally, oil fouled plug etc. Still chasing cherry red exhaust on one side, the one not blown, blocked muffler, possibly coils, air leak, valve leak, sheared flywheel key etc.
