Thanks buddy I really needed this explained. Was on my list!
Glad this video helped you out Vincent! It’s one of those things that will actually take you longer to find the gapping distance than to actually gap it lol. I was doing this on a car once and it took me longer to find the measurement than to get it done. Thanks as always for watching!
@@GarageGear thanks for all of your videos! I just bought a brand new Honda mower and it seized up. I’ve never used it other than letting the mower run for 30 mins. It got dark so I decided to call it a night and I mowed the next day. When I pulled the cord, it wouldn’t pull. It locked up. I removed spark plug because people said it would spit out oil possibly. But nothing. I eventually got it started by pulling slowly on cord and it gave me a little slack but took an hour. Any ideas on how to fix if in future it happens again
@@Meast208 hey Mike this is new news to me. Not sure how to prevent this or how it happened in the first place! Thanks for being a cool fan!
I’ve been working on cars and small engines since I could walk and turn a wrench and I’ve never seen anyone use the inner circle to open the gap on a plug. I’ve always used the circle to hang it from my key chain 😂. Who says you can’t teach an old dog new tricks? Thank you. Great video!!
Never knew what the hole in the gap tool was for. Now I am edumacated. Thanks brother.
Now youre up to speed Gary! Get it gapped and you’ll be all set! Thanks for watching!
Single mom here - thank you for this!
You got it Jacqueline! Thanks for watching! 👍
Thanks for sharing this video. I didn't realize what the hole in the spark plug gapping tool was for until now.
Now ya know Robert! Handy little tool! Thanks for watching! 👍
My dad said always check the gap. I bought the same one you used. Just wanted to double check. Simple straight to the point! I’m going to check out some of your other videos!😊
Thanks for watching
Thanks this was for me. I know the spark plug needed to get gaped but never checked them. Explaination was clear.
There ya go Grace! Super glad you this video helpful! I am always surprised by how much spark plugs gaps can be off by. Thanks for watching! 👍
Bought this mower today because of these videos. Very excited. Hopefully can keep mine as clean as yours.
Hey Kevin! Did a few videos on cleaning them. Check them out! 👍👍👍congrats on the new mower!
I’m not mechanically minded in the slightest and changed the spark plug today for the first ever… only just learned about gapping now though 😂
Lawnmower is now purring like a kitten though. So didn’t do too bad.
Thanks for schooling me.
Perfect Hayley! No problem thanks for watching!
Thanks ,was very good info!
@@FrankHernandez-sy7ur you got it my friend!
Great video. Nice to see you IN THE GARAGE!
Haha yeah I hear ya! I have a 69 Hurst Olds coming out next then a bunch more videos from my garage. There is a rumor of a garage make over happening too stay tuned!
@@GarageGear NIIIIICE!
Bigger gap can make more power. If gap is too big spark blows out at wide open throttle. So you gap it -2 less till it makes power at wide open throttle without choking out. Then you will make max power.
Thanks for sharing
This is so helpful thank you.
Awesome Dorf! Glad you found this video helpful! Thanks for watching!
Well Done Very well explained.
Appreciate the positive feedback Roc! Thanks for watching!
Hey learn something today I never new to use the hole on that tool to leverage.
There ya go worm out! Thanks for watching!
I always put a dab of anti-seize on the threads before putting the spark plug back in.
That is an interesting tip! I’ve never heard of or had an issue with them sticking before. And issues with engine temperature or anything? Thanks for sharing Lou!
@@GarageGear not temp....but mileage....I have taken spark plugs out of car engines that almost felt like it was pulling the threads out with it....luckily it wasn't....ever since then I always put a dab on just to be safe. But then again....the plugs had over 100k miles on them....but better safe than sorry.
@@f62darkstar good to know! Great tip! Thanks for sharing Lou!
On the Blade Bolts too..=)
Not needed; they're like oil filters. No need to crank on them. You can always heat engine up a little bit when removing and they come out like icing. We're also talking about a mower here, definitely not needed but wouldn't hurt.
Great video! Thank you for the input!!
You got it Randy!
Hey bro do you put a dab of anti-seize on the threads? Thanks for the video!
Hey R, good question! I’m going to look into this. I personally never have. I never really had an issue with sparks plugs getting stuck before. My only concern with that would be temperature ranges of the anti seize. I would assume it would be ok but I’ll look into it. Thanks for being an awesome fan!
Best way to clean grass out from lawnmower without losing gasoline and oil spill out
Hey Victor! Try cleaning it out after you mow when there is little gas in the tank. You can also try putting a plastic bag between the tank and the cap. As far the oil check the cap to make sure it’s tight it shouldn’t be leaking out if it is tight ! Thanks for watching!
Just take the rubber boot out of the socket or buy a regular socket. But all work the same. Cheers. Your videos help me fix my wife's friends mower. I work on zero turns; so a push mower was a breeze to do, from carburetor cleaning to this. Good videos. 👍
Thanks for watching Travis!
Thank You.
@@Talentman18 you got it! 👍
Would you recommend using anti-seize on your spark plugs?
It’s not a bad idea. I clean my plugs every season or every other season so I really don’t have seizing issues. I fine amount would do. Thanks for watching David!
Hey man I bought same mower used without manual, how often do you replace the spark plug? Thanks!
Hey writingwords I hardly ever replace spark plugs. Only when they no longer produce spark. Which I’ve had some work for over 20 years. If you clean them once and a while to last a lot longer. I show how to do that in a few videos. Thanks for watching!
Nice job. That Honda runs nice.
Sure does! Very happy with this purchase so far. Do you own a Honda mower? Thanks for watching Rob!
@@GarageGear yes I have an old Sears self propelled Craftsman with the Honda engine. Bought it in 2004.
@@Rob-ob3sh those Honda engines last a long time! Treat them right and they just hold up! 👍

I will check the size to see if a dime matches up. I’ll let you know. Thanks for watching!
