Hey Mike, I’m not sure if it is the same with your model but, often ride on lawn mowers have a switch under the seat which cuts the engine when you stand up. That may explain why the motor keeps cutting when you go over the bumps😁.
9:46 i think the thing is having carb issues, the seat safety could very well be contributing. I know my old john deer had carb problems similar, when you would hit a bump the float would get stuck and it would flood.
@@fonzo9405 neste oil rally in couple weeks in finland and people just left when it is wrc3 time cuz you literally cant even hear them pass by and wrc2 is still decent
It was removed. Thats what thoes switches were he had to hold down. Parking brake safety and seat switch. But instead of cutting the wires and splicing them together he just duct taped the switches down which meant they kept shuting on and off. Which is why it kept shuting off.

Person paying me to mow: So about how long does it take? Me: uhhhh probably about 2 minutes Person: You mean 2 hours? Me: No. I said 2 minutes, I meant 2 minutes.
I'm quite sure it did. it was probably changed to what it is now later. I think it has to do with experimenting which title get's the most clicks. I have noticed it a few times with different channels lately
Hey Mike, You should try to learn the speed bag! You can watch boxers hitting the speed bag and create an end goal that you wanna be at. If it’s continuous over hand for like 30 seconds with no mistakes or whatever you come up with. I wanna see your progression!
Mike, I challenge you to learn to dive. A good progression could be doing few flips off a 6m diving board - I'll leave it to you to decide. Hope you accept :)
To make the electrical symbol for a racing mower all you need to do is take out the key cylinder and replace it with a push button switch next you completely bypass all the safety switches by connecting the ground wire on the engine to a push button kill switch which of course allows you to cut the engine off. Lastly if the engine has a solenoid on the carburetor that requires power to the positive side of the battery in order to keep it open to allow fuel flow, you install a toggle switch which is put to the on position to start the mower and keep it on while the mower is running. There are several mowers which do not have the solenoid on the carburetor so you wouldn't even have to worry about that if yours doesn't. Hope this helps someone.
Just discovered your channel and have been inspired after binging countless videos tonight. ALTHOUGH when are you going to finish learning the backflip? I've seen many people train before and in terms of power and rotation ability you're above average. The only issue is technique. Watch any backflip tutorial and they'll all say the biggest factor is making sure you jump up high first with your chest up. If you watch back on your attempt you rotated wayyy to soon and never jumped up vertically. With correct technique you'll get it easy. Keep it up ;)
Just found one of your swimming 1 mile videos on recommendations and really enjoyed it.Therefore over the last day, I have watched a lot of your videos and having loving them all I have subbed! Keep up the great videos and effort!👍
Racing mowers here in North America are a little more advanced. Basically, they're mowers crossed with go-karts here. The top level mowers use V twin engines and many of them make more than 100hp. Lower level mowers use pretty much the same chassis usually, just with less power. They do all start as lawnmower chassis, but they get modified heavily.
My home town used to have lawnmower races as part of their Canada Day celebrations. It was mostly farm boys who had done a bunch of work on their old mowers. Someone even managed to make an old push mower ridable and raced that. That one had a lot of roll-overs.
Mike Boyd is a legend!!! I have been watching ur channel for so long now and have been inspired about how no to quit when u r learning a skill. Thanks to u I can now wheelie, tail whip, and even keepy ups. U have inspired me so much thank you
The sentiment at the end about the breakdowns, that holds true for most forms of amateur motor racing. You can race cheap lawnmowers, classic cars (minis, HQ holdens in Aus, etc.), budget friendly options like Excel cup we have here, formula Vee, karts, superkarts, bikes, production sports they all have reliability problems. If you ever spend time at a racetrack during a meet, just take a look around at how many people are frantically working on their machines. Then there are all the people who have no idea what to fix, those who couldn’t make it because they couldn’t get their car ready on time, those who leave early because they broke down. Yeah seems to me there are more people with mechanical problems that drivers who jump in and are ready to go.
I could imagine driving one of these as a daily. I have a 2005 Toro that I am working on, and I'm sure it will beat my neighbor's mower which he claims has "550 horsepower".
It’s funny how I am enjoying myself watching a man fiddling with a cheap lawnmower, not fully succeeding in what he set himself to do like some of his other content, but seeing him happy is satisfying. Thank you for making videos
I built one of these a few years back by just pulley swapping a standard 5 speed tractor with the transaxle still intact. It was the single worst handling thing I've ever driven, 20mph felt like you were going to die.
That's not going to stop the engine stalling.... It's more likely the fact that under the seat there is a a dead man's switch that mean if you get off the mower the seat lifts up and the engines stops
@@dannywhite132 i think its cuz Wen u let off because he changed the gearing the drag of it turning the engine over faster than the firing order is running due to no throttle.. that is why it would stall. Plus it would help to remove muffler for a pipe and drill the jet out.
I have been watching Mike for sooooo long and he never seems to fail in making me laugh. I love it when he does challenges and he fails and he repeats the same word a bunch of times. Fu**, Fu**, Fu**, Fu**!!! Or Stupid, Stupid, Stupid. Especially in the beginning when he hit the hay bails and fell over. He makes me laugh so hard 😂😂😂.
You can achieve the same result by taking off the blade bit, and then swapping the front and rear pulley. Did it to my mower, and now it does 40mph with no money invested in a new fancy axel. I use it for going around town, as it gets ~65 mpg. Only problem is braking, as it has none. Relies soley on engine braking, which does work wonders if you shift into lower gears. With the pully swap removing much torque, you actually do have to shift through the gears though, you can't just drop it in 5 and dump the clutch like you could previously.
Your wife is the most supportive person i've ever seen. I am so happy I get to watch you and your wife do new things every day thank you for making these videos.
What ever happened to revisiting learning the backflip? I understand your fear. But you have taught me dedication and not giving up is the key to really learning and mastering a skill.

Mike I taught my self how to backflip and I have taught other people how to do the same thing and I would be happy to teach you too
He better see this
Did you guys bypass the emergency switch in the seat? There's a switch where if you stand up while it's running it shuts off
I think this is genius comment of the video!
That's what I was thinking, especially when he talked about it stalling when he went over a bump
I would have guessed that's what the magic switches that needed to be duck taped down for it to start were.
The stalling on bumps implies they maybe didn't?
Was just about to say that
Do you think he realised that the spring under his seat are safteys and when pressure is not on them (going over pumps) the mower shuts off
There is no way he kept that switch
@@FelixDaCat1969 I low-key think he forgot it 😂 He literally said it shut off when he got a bump
@@seabassmoor Quite possible, but I think that could have been the switches he ducktaped down

@@olmint7.3powerstroke11 yeah they do. murray was probably one of the first to have them. they're called lawyer switches for a reason.

Hey Mike, I’m not sure if it is the same with your model but, often ride on lawn mowers have a switch under the seat which cuts the engine when you stand up. That may explain why the motor keeps cutting when you go over the bumps😁.
james hague everybody needs to like this so Mike sees it!
Either that’s the reason or he just cut the wires to the switch earlier
I really hope he reads your comment though
I zip tied mine so it wouldn’t shut off while doing this
Also on the lever so it cuts out if you've got the deck turning. Best just to wire these all to themselves.

Bet he didnt even remove the saftey switch. When you put preassure on the seat the switch tells the engine its good to go ( simply put ).
It was removed. Thats what thoes switches were he had to hold down. Parking brake safety and seat switch. But instead of cutting the wires and splicing them together he just duct taped the switches down which meant they kept shuting on and off. Which is why it kept shuting off.
