You are a true shade tree professional mechanic. If I lived in Atlanta I would definitely bring my equipment to o you. No torque wrench and it's a good perfect repair. I learn a lot from your videos.
Hello Mr. Tom. Just finished the video on the no compression “valve” clean up. Good job mister. I do enjoy a master at work. I do learn lots and experience the Patience that is need to make a good mechanic. Keep up the great work buddy. 😊
I finally finished it after six years, but I built a Troy Bilt that is identical to the one in your driveway from scratch with parts from my parts bin. I had everything but the belts. It is 100% factory correct, and I just cut with it for the first time this week. I just wanted to challenge myself and see if I could do it. It is even using a 7 year old battery that I had hanging around in my shop. I guess it pays to be a part hoarder sometimes, lol.
Yeah, that was quite a bit of carbon buildup where the valves were on the head. Was really running rich. Hopefully the spark plug isn't fouled too much. Carb issue also. What do you expect? It's an older Toro push mower. It's had a good life for sure.
Once in a great while, I get a brief slight smell of iodine in my shower water. That is a distinctive smell which you can't mistake for anything else. It is deep well water, so I assume there is some iodine containing plant material buried way down there that occasionally gets to the well bore. I read somewhere that you can get iodine from kelp, but don't know how true that is. They use iodine to clean machines that make butter between giant batches of butter. What is the chance that piece of carbon would get caught exactly in the wrong place? Not much.
Click, lol. You just set off the torque wrench warriors. I don't even know how to use one, and I have yet to have a machine that was affected by it at all.
Nice repair 👍😊.
Nice work detective and thank you for the video sir 👍😎🇺🇸

That corn juice gasoline buildup a ton of carbon in the head and they don’t seat properly, remove head, clean and lap valve work great 👍
gr8 repair, you have any like this for a Briggs Quantum ?
valve adjustment on a flathead?
This mower is only a few years old. It has another twenty years left if she took care of it.

It has happened a few times in 60 years
How long have you had that can of lapping compound? I have never even seen one like that, lol.
over 30 years!

Tom can you use a wire wheel on a drill to clean the carbon off the head?
@@graggcain9496 it's what I usually do!
That Koehler? Best fix it remove the engine and replace with a Quantum.
