Okay. I've been working on small engines for over 30 years. Either no one is giving you good advice. Or you're not accepting it. When it comes to starters if it has a metal flywheel gear. The starter will always use a plastic gear. If it has a plastic gear on the flywheel. It will use a metal gear on the starter. That is the way all of them are made. Jumping cables are the fastest way to burn up a starter on anything including a car. They waste a lot of power. All you need is a good charge battery. An the older starter would have worked well. I hope you're not trying to mislead people. You do not sound like the kind of person that would do that. So I do wish you the best of luck. And truly hope you do not mind taking some friendly advice. From someone who knows. 💯.
I should have clarified that plastic starter gears are used with plastic ring gears or aluminum ring gears. Steel starter gears are only used with steel ring gears.
You should never jump a starter at the positive nut on a starter that will damage the nut with the load sparkling on it. Leave the positive connected an use the negative to make or break connection that way you will not damage the starter nut. 😮
Take this guy and experience with a grain of salt. His work bench is his truck tailgate. The valves need to be adjusted every 250 hours on a Briggs and Stratton. They do not "always keep going out of adjustment." The starter back bolt can be accessed and removed and replaced, without "doing all kinds of things.".
The very first thing I do with any mower I get is spend 10 mins adjusting the valves. As well as check the valve travel to monitor for wear on camshaft lobes. Then I worry about carb and starting it.
All you needed was to connect a good hot strong battery I've worked on them to much to know it needed a battery connection better than jumper cables good job tho
Yes my jumper cables are garbage. Hard to find good ones anymore. Off camera I did try to turn it over with a direct battery connection on one of the small starters before buying the larger one but it didn’t make the final video cut since it was just another failure.
@@mikespain8655 indeed…. I’ve been looking for a good pure copper 2/0 or bigger set but they are hard to find. Most are copper clad aluminum that disintegrates in a year or two. I’ve been limping along this little set but I need to upgrade badly.
@@bogopuar7463 yes, I usually check it first on these B&S units but it was hot out that day and my brain was fried. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it lol
@@wrenchwranglers Atta boy, can I tell my customers, "That's my story and I'm sticking to it"? Isn't that a country song? I like your sense of humor. We need more less serious creators, thank you.
I had the same problem with my Cub this past spring change the starter solonoid,the starter ( they both were probably fine,) and fix a flat on new tires. And found out the valves were out of adjustment and the battery was 6 years old about. I mean it ran fine last season when i put it back in the garage but would not start this spring or last fall to take care of the leaves didn't Start so i didn't mess with the snow blower for it. ( only paid 200 bucks for it it was used one time works perfectly) now i need to build a rear weight rack for it, it would also help the agro tires bite in better i had snow chains year round on it. My yard has 2 steep hills.
Have you looked at wheel weight options? I’ve had a few lawn tractors with wheel weights and they make a considerable difference since the weight is right there on the drive wheels.
Молодец!Очень хорошо!Да многие веши в обшестве потребления просто выбрасывают из-за незначительной поломки,я тоже бывает ремонтирую некоторые электроные устройства которые люди выбрасывают,вот недавно нашол весы электроные при нажатии не включались,батарейка стояла новая разобрал оказывается в нутри установлены кнопки включения под нажками и они сломались,вывел эту кнопки на доступную для нажатия рукой сторону и теперь оно работает ,так же у меня у трактора тоже много запчастей ,вчера запасной топливный насос высокого давления собрал из пяти неисправных
That cup cadet lawn tractor sounds awesome and cuts the grass pretty good when the engine is not backfired 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎

Sorry to say, but you are just a beginning.Ask JamesCondon ,maybe he will teach you.
Hey sir try adjusting the valves
Take this guy and experience with a grain of salt. His work bench is his truck tailgate. The valves need to be adjusted every 250 hours on a Briggs and Stratton.

That is a very sound procedure. Usually by the time I get an engine it’s so worn out that correct procedures are an afterthought lol.
You are a great recycler! Congratulations on a successful project. The first one will be a fine addition to someone else's lawn care fleet.
There now, that wasn't so hard! 👍👍👌👌🤣🤣 Nice work! Thanks for the video.
Great job on the second mower to sir
Thanks 👍
Hooking a good battery up to the battery cables would have been a good start
I want that mower!
All you needed was to connect a good hot strong battery I've worked on them to much to know it needed a battery connection better than jumper cables good job tho

Heavy 2 or 4 gauge wire jumper cables make a big difference in successful starting.

Try not to over heat the new starter proceedes to hold the cable on the starter another 5 mins 😂
Do as I say, not as I do 😂
@@wrenchwranglers 🤣great video by the way 👍👍
@@danielpadgett2831 thanks! I always appreciate anyone who takes the time to watch me muddle my way through projects!
@@wrenchwranglers I think you did a excellent job
alot of it is because ur using such long cable to a battery not hooked up to mower pulls alot more amps
Так же на трактор установил косилку,скоро у нас сенокос,надо много накосить травы для корма коровам на зимний период
haha every dang time. when i see a seized engine, it always has fresh new unused oil on the dipstick.
Lol it’s funny how that works
looks like the problem was actually the valve adjustment. That's the first thing I check when the starter won't turn the engine.

My those ripped wires are da cause
I never get that lucky

What did you spray to break it loose
In this case PB Blaster because that’s what I had. Kroil works better but i was out.

That is good! Hopefully more people will start to repair things rather than throwing them away. That helps make the world a better place!
Darn
if fly wheel teeth are plastic- starter gear plastic, if metal flywheel-metal starter gear
Indeed….. I think I should have emphasized that more because I see so many that have the wrong combination
