    First ever RUclips comment! My best friend is currently working out of state and at the moment circumstances prevent him from using a lawn care service back home. Knowing it doesn't take long in Southeast Texas for mother nature to reclaim her 2+ acres slightly wooded rural property. Not owning a mower of my own, I offered to see what I could do. Mind you, I knew nothing about small engines, yet abandoned at his house was a beat up 20 plus year old Toro 22-inch Kohler self-propelled push mower that hasn't ran or moved in almost 2 years.
    Primarily just from your channel I was able to rebuild the carburetor, modify the non-functioning heat activated automatic choke into a manual choke, remove the completely frozen kill switch system and create my own, and also remove all the dead weight from locked up self-propelled system and turn it into a much lighter push mower. A quick sharpening of the dull mulching blade and it runs great. I was able to save a lot of money while helping out a good friend.

    A lot of the time the home DIY ers make mistakes with re assembly and then throw away a good machine. Being taught by someone who knows or the will to work out why something is not working correctly is a great life lesson . Well done Bree , the hole jokes have been well hashed over , it did bring a laugh to us lecherous older gentlemen.

    @a.c.king-dk5yl1ep2m 9 месяцев назад +8

    This video exemplifies a lesson I learned many years ago as a kid when I was working on things like this. If the parts don't line up easily, and you have to force them back together, you probably don't have it put together right. It sounds simple and basic, but it's amazing how many people do get it, including the guy who owned this trimmer..

    Congrats on 400K subscribers. Have to give you a WOOP WOOP! 🙌🏾 Got a neighbor & his old Poulan weedeater. Always purchases ready made fuel and never, ever empty his tank over the winter. Emptied the old & replaced the fuel. Starts but ran ugly. I handed my Stihl along with the gas can. I remember your storage idea, emptied the tank and poured a fresh bottle of 2 cycle oil & pumped for the weekend. After the eclipse, drained & pumped the oil, fresh fuel and a ton of smoke. The membrane on the carb loosened up! I know it was not your method of freeing the carb, but it worked.

  • @LarryHelvick
    @LarryHelvick 9 месяцев назад +4

    Your channel is great with so many actual cases of small engine repairs. Besides needing four hands to hold everything together to fix the trigger return on this Stihl showing which screw to tighten the throttle cable was invaluable. Another great video we all can appreciate.😊

    I had to replace the throttle trigger on my first Husqvarna trimmer when I started my own lawn care business on the weekend. Nothing close to a commercial model but for a dude that just tries to figure it out, that would definitely make a preacher cuss if you don’t do that every day. Great stuff as always.
