Excellent walk thru… Thanks🎯

[@SHONEY21Z]

Yw thanks for commenting!

[@dodgedemon840]

Great video,just bought this lawnmower,but id be easier to clean underneath with blade off I thought

[@SHONEY21Z]

Yeah it helps to clean with the blade off, I usually just pressure wash the bottom with the mower on it side anyway, but for demonstration purposes, or for ppl without a pressure washer, I showed using a screwdriver, (brush works too) to get the bulk grass clumps out to protect the deck from rotting

[@dodgedemon840]

@@SHONEY21Z that's for the video,you were straight forward with everything

[@canoetipper019]

How about checking and adjusting the ABS once a year?? (lol)
Cheers from New Brunswick, Canada (eh)

[@SHONEY21Z]

Haha one of these days I’m gonna have a video on ABS. But prob not soon lol. Cheers

[@canoetipper019]

@@SHONEY21Z How about the sparkplug fluid? 😉

[@SHONEY21Z]

Haha

[@juliekennedy5043]

What do you use to clean the outside housing and make it shine again?

[@SHONEY21Z]

Are you talking about the painted deck or the plastic engine cover?

[@SHONEY21Z]

I usually pressure wash the deck, top and bottom, careful not to get too close to peel the paint or stickers. Then I use a cleaner/polish like Honda spray cleaner and polish. If the plastics have lost their shine, I’ll use a torch on low setting and heat up the plastic lightly to bring back the original color. Sometimes this doesn’t work, just depends on the type of plastic.

[@Sanholomc]

Did you change sparkey

[@SHONEY21Z]

Negative. Sometimes I do if the plug looks old or if it looks very black. 99% of the time, spark plugs are fine. Every once in a while they are the issue. I’ve had spark plugs that were 50 years old still work, so the likelihood of a 5-10 year old plug being an issue is rare. I usually clean it tip with a torch and wire brush.
