One of my biggest disappointments, is the fact that these guys aren’t my local mower shop.I am from Ontario Canada,I have actually considered driving there just to fulfill something on my bucket list.I would love to thank them personally for all the enjoyment ,and knowledge they have shared.Thanks guys.
I’m right there with you my friend
You guys need to move like me, he is right down theroad now, Slippers is my new neighbor. Let's keep this between us for now...
My ''factory authorized'' Cub dealer is beyond pathetic. I watch Taryl and then tell the guy what's wrong and how to fix it. Numb nuts still can't do it. I'd pay a bundle to have someone like Taryl around. Thank you Taryl. I can fix it myself now.
@elaines domainI paid the local guy three hundred dollars,on three separate occasions to rewire my ignition switch.I was getting shocked when turning the key.He kept finding different things wrong,when I asked for my money back he got pissed.I reworked it myself with Taryls help cost me twelve dollars.
@@oxyfee6486 12 bucks? Good Grief! My Cub is under warranty. The Cub is good for the price but a bonehead dealer makes it suck and destroys the Cubs reputation. I found one problem that I'll fix because it' one bolt. Another problem is under 40 bucks. Good deal being able to fix it yourself.
Taryl, I never thought I could sit through and hour and fifteen minute video! Your videos are not only informative but also entertaining! Keep them coming.
I didn't even realize it's that long!
You're the best small engine repair expert on RUclips. Thanks for all you do.
Love Taryl’s channel! He has saved me (and by extension) my neighbors a ton of money over this past year!! Lawn mower engine problems (valve clearance was off), snow blower problems (one bad carbetrater and 1 bad auger belt), carbetrater on a Stihl chainsaw, fuel lines on a line trimmer and a rebuild of a Husqvarna backpack leaf blower (carbetrater again - I didn’t take good care of my stuff until Taryl’s videos).
Highly detailed “how to” videos mixed with comedy??? Yes Please!
Keep ‘em coming Taryl!
Taryl, you have forgot more about engines, than i'll ever know. You are master mechanic sir.
This entire family is so very talented. Taryl is a genius in many ways. The level of production and the entertainment value of their presentations make them educational and very entertaining. I too would greatly enjoy meeting them and taking my mower to be fixed there. When my old 6.75 Briggs on my Toro finally gives up - I am going to take a trip to see them and have it rebuilt!! Ya it is 12 years old cranks every time by the 2nd pull and yeah i am keeping it till i go to the great lawn in the sky...
Another dinner served up. I can't get enough of your videos Taryl, I miss doing small engine work so bad. I had an injury back in Jan of 17 forcing retirement and haven't turned a wrench since. I'm thinking of doing a little at a small shop at my house, just so I can fulfill the urge of needing to do something. Love your work, a mechanic doing it right, the way I do every task I tackle. Do it right or do it twice. Sometimes they surge until put under a load.
Knowledge is power, and you dish it out perfectly. I wish more young people would watch all of your video's.
They just don’t care about learning how to physically work
Just play around and begging 🥺
Yeah I tell my friends to watch him I think we are the only 10th graders that may watch him in our school
Better than any SNL skit over the past 2 decades, and I learned something. Keep up the good work Taryl
I learned more from this video, about small engine builds than any other video I've watched, and I've wached a lot of them! Thank you Taryl!
I'm addicted to Taryl videos. This Guy is amazing. My bucket list includes meeting Taryl.
This was a great video..love it when taryl talks in the voice of the viewer..mocking is where taryl shines best..
Sign of a great entertainer, mock the audience and they come back for more. Don Rickles comes to mind.
Taryl does it with love though..lol
@@dannylister558 no he doesn't....lol
@Charles Bale..I was being kind..lol
I've been running a mid-sized Landscape construction Co for the past 35yrs
I really wish Taryl and shop were in a town near us in Mass. His great knowledge and work ethic make's his shop a rarity these day's.
Yo yo be old big toothed guy.. sitting back and enjoying.. nice to see junior doing something for a change
I am a mechanic but i must say that i really appreciate the way this man simplifies some jobs that honestly reading a manual can even lose me especially with hydrostatic pumps.
Man y’all are so realistic as to how mechanics really are. That’s why I do it myself!
At 55:40; that is exactly what happened to me when rebuilding a GX120 recently. Found the cap on the floor, and remembered this video. Had no idea it had fallen off until then, and would have had me stumped. Appreciate the insight Taryl - you saved me on that one!
I work at a shop, gotta love when the customer tries pulling that crap 😂 we record the date and Time of calls so we can prove to them
Right? I guess they think being a dick will get them a discount 🤷♂️
If it's legal where you are, record the calls too!
Thank you Taral for another rebuild. I like doing it myself but its always better watching a pro doing it.
“I’m not going to put cheap parts in this it’s for a customer.” Amen Taryl,..Attaboy!! There’s a reason why those parts are so cheap (Made in China junk). It’s a Honda, use OEM or a good quality aftermarket and fix it right the first time.
Where do you think Stens is made ? It doesn't matter where it is made if it is to specifications. The lower end Honda engine is made in China as well, by Jling , or something to that nature. I believe it is the GA series.
You buy the quality you want from China.
You probably don't know, but people used to think the same about things "Made in Japan" just a couple decades ago.
"Made in X country" doesn't mean squat anymore, the quality is given by the price you want to pay.
@@GoldSrc_ Maybe??? Just because you pay more for something doesn't mean you get any better quality. I wish. I'm afraid those days are gone too.
@@camundson3 I'm pretty sure nuclear reactor parts made in China are of pretty good quality, but they're not exactly cheap lol.
But to bring things to a more mortal level, you can find suppliers of say LED lamps made in China that are actually pretty good.
And on the other hand, you get most of the ebay cheap stuff, so it's up to you who you do business with.
I don't know who agrees with me, but, Taryl is a DANG GOOD TEACHER!..................I'm almost 60 and had the mentality that old dogs can't be taught new tricks. I was wrong!.............Taryl has shown me all kinds of neat tricks and corrected me on some things I was wrong on. THANKS TARYL, KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!
Great video. Very informative and appreciate you showing us what to look out for and avoid when working on small engines. Especially appreciate the end where you encountered surging - common issue these days as the eggheads in Washington prescribe emissions requirements that force stupid decisions. If I had a nickel for every snowblower an owner kept the choke on to eliminate surging I'd have several dollars. Not enough to quit but enough for another beer. 😁
Hey Taryl, I'm from Alberta. Your welcome for the Alberta clipper. lol. There's your dinner.
Another great video!! Thanks for not only showing us what to do, but telling us why we should do it!! Keep up the good work! I love your Channel!!
I've got two of these little Honda engines. One on a pressure washer and the other on a mower. I absolutely love them.
Have GX160 on a 20-yr old Bactelle Bros brush mower.
I enjoy watching your videos. Your detailed and funny. I picked up a lawnmower on the side of the road and got it running from what I've learned from watching your videos
I love learning from your ways of fixing all these small engine, thank you for sharing with us 😃
i do too, he gives great tips
@@morbugs63 yea just a great teacher
You deserve much more appreciation from all internet guys....because of you , all secrets are blownd away
I could watch all day. One of the top funny channels on RUclips. 🤣🤣🤣
When a fresh rebuild starts up on the first pull, you have done things right ..nice work boys...go get yourself a Hamm's...😎 Looking forward to the March fuels XP..!
Tighten it till the bolt snaps and then back it off one turn. Lol too funny. I want that on a shirt!
I used to say tighten til it starts to strip then back it off half a turn lol
Seal-all is also good for stopping up pinholes in Briggs fuel tanks where the dimple below the carb in take is. Just dry the tank and pour in a blob of Seal-all. It'll level itself out. Let it dry and go to work. I just let a tank on a 5-horse Briggs on a wood splitter skin over in stead of harden all the way. Hasn't leaked yet. Has saved several tanks for me. Good stuff!
Well, this one cracked me up! Well done Taryl, Junior and the imaginary twins.
Yep, even the good old Ford Kent series engines could throw up a few wild geese as well, but, it also led to some interesting permutations that in turn led to some potent little variants of an otherwise innocuous engine.
Taryl's geometry lesson for the day: A complete circle is 360 degrees. Wrist pin holes are 180 degrees apart. You must be tired Taryl, or that Alberta clipper is affecting your computer brain. Great video! Thanks.
Took a double take at 90 degrees is opposite.
We knew what he meant.good lord,no one likes a Karen
@@stripersniper1531 Karen is a slang term for a white woman who acts entitled to certain privileges or special treatment and gets angered easily. The term is often used to criticize the behavior of self-absorbed white, affluent, and middle-aged women, but may also be applied to anybody being " extra ", or acting demanding and overly dramatic. You seem to fit that definition perfectly. A Karen is also someone who is always looking for an argument, can't think outside the box and realize that everyone may not have the same understanding as they do but insists on chastising others for trying to help. Very narrow minded, and opinionated with a big mouth trying to tell everyone else how to think.
Now that was dinner..you've been starving me with these shorties ...More Bloopers...🐴🐴🐴🐴👍👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thanks Taryl, After the Freeze 2021 Houston.. My 6.5hp Generator lost all Compression, Broke valve...
Thanks for All the Information in This Video is was able to Rebuild it myself..
Thank You Sir..!!
41:11 "...or just tighten it until the bolt snaps and then back it off one turn" 🤣
Good Mornings ya guys are the best fixer uppers
Aircraft Mechanic> Taryl you would make a great recip. aircraft mechanic. Many of the procedures and techniques you showed in this video I would work and work to instill in my students in recip. class and lab. Great job. I taught for aviation mechanics for 49 years. What a privilege and a challenge. Over the years I have had 900 + aircraft mechanics on the missionary fields across the world.
Tighten it until the bolt snaps and back it off one turn. I haven’t laughed that hard in a very long time!! I’m literally crying!
Some engines require you to torque it to a spec.then go another X amount of degrees further. I guess to stretch the bolt. Seems weird to me.
Excellent video. I work on these a LOT and when they surge like that the carb usually needs a good cleaning. I learned stuff here though and really appreciate your work!!!!!! :)
This mans skills are truly legendary and very much appreciated..
My new favorite episode, I have been waitin since 2013 for a Honda near Tarrel to breakdown. Wanting to fix mine for 25 years, hope it breaks down soon.
Thanks Taryl, great video used it to rebuild my Qualcast cpm 35 mower (Allett 14l) that had a Honda clone - Loncin 87cc engine - across the pond in London
Youre right we like rebuilds
Thank you! Was looking for Info on what way the piston goes in and You answered my question! Thanks again for your great Informative videos!
I watched this with my 5 year old daughter and you were scaring the hell out of her with the scary music trying to find the right parts! I almost had to turn it off. Scary stuff ordering the wrong parts!!
I do love a good rebuild. Jr. Dactal ha ha ha almost fell down when Jr said that.
Thank you so much gentleman had a late dinner but I watch it 😁😁
One of the best videos you have done Taryl ~ thanks
This skit made me giggle. Good Job crew
Gotta do a ring job on my 82 212 she’s got 60psi of compression & barely 75psi. She didn’t used to be to bad of a smoker, but it got pretty worse fairly recently even so she would just smoke like a train, & just shut off.
I knew I would have to do rings at some point, but didn’t know I’d have to do it this soon. Finally parked it in the barn & haven’t touched it yet cuz I want to do it right not 1/2 ass it.
That 160 or 200 Honda engine is the best small engine on the market in my opinion. They are fitted to almost everything these days. Easy as to work on ...
Taryl and Jr, make you wanna: jump jump 😂
Loving the total rebuild videos. Thanks for sharing
I love watching the valve job every time!!
Oh and the ending was great 👍🏻
My grandson and I just love your show Taryl, please keep up the good works.!
Thanks again Taryl for the great info in hill billy. Testament to how well balanced those Honda engines are it didn't jump around much.
Thanks for the video Taryl. Best show on RUclips!
the bloopers are great! please put them in your videos!!
ThanksTaryl I'm working on one of these on a air compressor same carbenator problem. Central California watching
Had a snapper motor with a GV150 Honda motor. Had to hog out that jet a few times before it quit surging. Good reminder that it’s not always an air leak.
Omg best comedy skits ever on RUclips lol
How could anyone dislike Taryl and co’s videos? Funny, informative, helpful, and trying to save ya money and hassle! Ungrateful knuckleheads!
Probably a mistake. I tried to hit the like button but my clumsy overgrown thumb hit the dislike, had to remove the dislike and like it instead. Maybe the other knuckleheads just didn't notice they hit the wrong button
High quality engine, survived really well given the abuse it received. Great vid, thanks 👍
It's America we can do what we want... Greatest country in the world Thank you for your knowledge
180 equals 90 taryl degrees and 90 degrees equals 45 taryl degrees.
lmfao when he said the EPA IS HERE Love yall best channel ever
Thanks Taryl Great information.
Thanks for sharing your platter of experience. I enjoy watching these.
I liked the little song behind the camera while you were fixing the engine
I am watching from Alberta and enjoying a good snow storm as we speak. My mom told me to share and I am glad to do so LOL.
I am watching from Woodstock,Ontario near Toronto and the snow is almost gone.
Your "Alberta Clipper" is known as a "Polar Vortex" here in Southeast Texas....
Montreal express here in new england
Another Albertan here, enjoy the Clipper, no charge. Thanks for the video, as usual I learned some more.
Omg this guy is hilarious!! 😂 I’m so glad I found this channel!! 🤣
Hey Daryl it's tightened till it strips and back it up a 1\4 of a turn
Hey taryl, first things first, thank for you an hour long video that probably took you guys 10 hours to cut & edit for us, we have nothing but gratitude for that.
The first thing I wanted to say is, if you didn’t FFW’d thru the simple things and we could just hear you talk & complain, I think most of your viewers would love to watch what you guys might consider dead weight that should be cut. I know nothing about videography or RUclips’s uploading platform so ignore my ignorance if that’s something y’all do to abide by digital constraints.
The 2nd thing is, I just stripped out a newer Lexus (eBay parts) and wanted to drain the fuel tank before scrapping the shell. I have both a hand pump/Siphon pump as well as an 18V royobi battery electric transfer pump. I’m too lazy to hand pump 15 gals, and I don’t like the idea of the amount of fumes and the gasoline itself going thru an electrical pump while operating in fear of accident ignition. This tank is off a modern car and has a series of EPA regulated breathers and fume evaporation/recycling chambers and tubes so there’s multiple areas where gasoline is evaporating from the tank to the point where I can see the visual distortions if I hold one of those hoses in front of my face. I have them plugged off with the fingers off rubber gloves. Not working great.
That pump that you use (and sell on your store) do you think that would be appropriate for gasoline? This isnt the first time I’ve been stuck with this issue, and the fact that the battery, impeller and hose connections are so close in proximity in my 18V royobi transfer, I don’t trust that there’s no chance of ignition. The one you use seems to have a large separation between all those separate mechanisms. If/when you have time, let me know what you think about that. Is the one you use manual pneumatic or electrically operated?
I know you can’t tell me directly that I can and should suck petrol with your pump, but is it something that you’ve felt comfortable doing, I know you deal with a crap ton of old gas in customers rigs. Thanks in advance & keep up the good work
Thx from Eastern Canada ! My go-to for small engine repair and and good laugh!!!
I think you have a great Chanel but when the skits are short I thank 😊 the heavens 🙏
Just received your gel lube,and let me tell you that stuff is fantastic,so good ordered another can.
Great help, Taryl ... Thank you for this video.
Nice work Taryl! You're my fav fix it channel on youtube! I'm a mechanical engineer and always learn something in your video's, plus they are hilarious! I've been watching for years...you should have 10M subs by now. maybe do a few videos on car repair to get some eyes on your channel (like next time you replace the brakes on your car). There are car repair guys who aren't half as good with 2M subs. I'm sure you can repair anything with wheels and a motor. Boats / jet ski vids would be cool too. Anyway, it would make me happy to see you guys blow up, you deserve it. I think most ppl today just toss their lawn equipment and buy new. I enjoy the challenge of fixing stuff, or I would probably do the same as its not really worth my time to fix most lawn items like weed wackers.
Love you guys, keep up the good work. Jim's Repair Mendon, Ohio.
Taryl you installed the piston with the dot up... dot goes down.. good to know they will run backwards lol
Good job Taryl This is the only way tor me to get the Torque numbers for the critical bolts. Thanks Spider.
I used to use vasolene petroleum jelly when rebuilding an engine. It was cheap, easily found at drug store, stayed in place after application on parts, provided enough lubrication on initial start up and dissipated mixing with engine oil after engine heated up.
First 2 rings were 180 apart not 90, also next 2 were 90 not 45
Yeah Taryl you said 90 but put them at 180 Taryl! Why didn't Jr. I mean the "camera man" tell you... that ain't 90 I don't think thats 90 Dad.
Elkskins would have told you Taryl
@@jimhoward1655 fire it up! fire it up!
He flunked geometry class.
It’s not the space shuttle, it’s a lawnm er compactor lol
It doesn’t matter as long as the ring ends aren’t in line. Any separation is good enough.
Have a Dixon 4515b ZTR that we've owned for about 5 years or so. During this winter I have basically rebuilt the entire mower including the Briggs 15.5hp Vanguard 28Q777 engine. The whole mower is now done, but it keeps throwing the Drive Belt _(from engine to mower hydrostatic pumps)._ Electric clutch is fine, which that really only concerns the mower deck. This Drive Belt is not that old, bought it not long before I began the rebuild. There are two idler pulleys, one is fixed the other is spring tension and the bolt that holds it is also a rear engine mount bolt. I removed the spring tensioner pulley with entire arm. Saw your video of repairing the arm so I filed it down so the sleeve sticks out a bit when tight, also added a grease zerk etc, now it moves freely like it supposed to when torqued. All pulleys feel smooth and are not bent. Spring is not stretched and is a job to get back to where it goes. Yet it still throws the drive immediately upon engine start. I'm going to buy another belt just to eliminate it. But Any other ideas?? Thanks
YHRIM , Good one for head scratching, but wild for ole Taryl.
@@BruceNitroxpro yep, it's got me baffled at the moment. been trying to trace down the cause for a couple days now.
well... after 3 days of the drive belt jumping off instantly after engine start. I took the belt this morning. Looked nearly new, no wear spots nothing. Thought it had to be a pulley then. Reinstalled belt exactly as I had it before. Turned engine over by hand, fine. Cranked engine with key, belt ran true, still fine. Started up the engine, still fine. Let mower back down off jack stands, restarted engine, still fine. Took mower out and drove all over the yard, still fine. Turned on the PTO for blades, mowed some winter grass up and down making turns etc, Worked perfectly.
The only thing we did different was my Dad prayed for it and asked the Heavenly Father to make it run. Which I should have done that first. In any case, *Thank the Heavenly Father Yahuah* the mower is done. All I got left is to adjust the brake a bit, and fine tune one of the hydrostats and its ready for spring. Only reason I spent all winter to rebuild our old Dixon is because we didn't have the money to buy a new zero turn. And with our property our regular mower takes half a day or so to mow, as I have make pass after pass trying to get around trees and other stuff.
Yessiree. I tend to lay the engine back a skosh then I capture the run out and use it in my pump oil can for gp oiling stuff
Thanks for the great video. At 33:50 you say the two rings about the oil carrier (I think thats what it is) are to be 90 degrees apart, however if the gaps go from wrist pin to wrist pin they would be 180 degrees apart. Also for the 3rd and 4th rings, they are 180 degrees apart, not 90. All the gaps should be somwhere at 12 oclock, 3 oclock, 6 oclock and 9 oclock. You installed them right, the narrative is incorrect.
This is old superstition anyway. Compression rIngs rotate while the engine operates. Engine manufacturers no longer waste time on staggering gaps on the assembly line. The 3 piece oil ring mostly rotates as an assembly so we worry more about not having the two oil rails lined up.
No a polar hurricane developing thanks to a big star we love. All the way to Mex country.
Verry good explanation. And verry well done video. Thank you very much.
Thanks for the great videos!
90 degrees and 45 degrees?
Looks like 180 and 90 to me(???)
All those variations in Honda products drive me nuts. Picked up a Honda push mower last spring that I was going to flip didn’t realize how many different parts can be for the “same” model. Long story short I spent way too much fixing it and ended up keeping it for my own use
Been there
For rings: 90 degrees is 1/4 around. I think you may have meant 180 degrees because that is what you did in the video.
I'm on the same page as you
I do 120 apart for each groove
@@ctbale1 depends on the number of rings, and if the piston has grooves to locate the rings or not, 2 I use 180° 2 and a oil ring I use 120°
Brilliant video, Thank you
Sure looks like a great opportunity for a HF clone installation.
Sure you can buy a Predator for $100 bucks and it will run fine. I'm sure the customer wanted to rebuild the Honda. Probably makes him a lot of money and been through the thick and thin.
@@mikespain8655 lovely story for a small engine
@@mikespain8655 it's all about economics...I'd say it's a direct bolt up and I've had 2 of the predators run like timex watches....they just keep going. How old is that compactor? Who knows what condition it's in. It looks like a deep spend on a rebuild when a hundred bucks and installation would have it fixed.
Agree a Predator 212 would have been a perfect cheap swap for this. However it was still a good rebuild video which is the main reason it was done.
I run two Predator 212's on my Ariens Sno-Thros commercially. Both have up over 400 hours now, not one issue yet to date. Close to 5 years now.
Probably would've worked well, but not the quality of the GX Honda.
Your one crazy guy but u know your stuff. And theirs your dinner. Thanks Taryl.
