Honda FG100 repair, carb rebuild, transmission service

I picked this up a few weeks ago for $25 needing work. It is in good condition, probably sat for several years and needed a good maintenance.
I ordered all the parts from parts tree and in total am into it for about $110.
This is my 2nd Honda Fg100 and they are great machines.
I wanted to start producing higher quality videos and this is my first one.

You could buy a carb for $20 and not have to bother with the labor. Time is money.

Extremely helpful video. I just pulled the FG100 out of my garage for the first time in about 20 years. As the original owner I don't think I'll run into any mystery replacement parts, but it looks like it's time to learn some small engine repair. Just curious - is PartsTree your main source for parts? I noticed they were a bit pricey. I'm looking for genuine Honda replacement parts - any other resellers you could recommend?

Be careful power washing engines, windows etc. The high pressure water loves to get by seals and cause a lot of damage.

Enjoyed your video and you seem to be very knowledgeable. One recommendation I would make is to move your camera position so that what you are working on is more visible to the viewer than just seeing your hands and listening to what you are doing.

You don't hit the shaft with hummer. You want to destroy the gear in the transmission ? It is crazy.

I have one of these I fixed up. I'm unsure though, should the tines move slightly slower than how loud the engine is revving? Like, it works, I just feel like the tines look like they move kinda slow when I look at them when pulling the trigger full throttle. I was hoping to find a video on someone else showing the tines moving to compare.

Hi James, really nice video.. i wanted to know if i can only replace the Worm Gear, if so how ? The tines were not turning on my FG100 - and when i opened the transmission, the worm teeth are worn out... please let me know if ONLY the Gear can be bought and replacced instead of the whole transmission.
