The way the engine is turning over , it sounds like the camshaft or a really loose valve. You need to pull the valve cover and check the lash of the intake and exhaust valve. Could be the decompression trigger on the camshaft broken. This is a major job that involves pulling the engine !
Ain't nut'en but nuts and bolts to change out the cam.
probaly bad compression release they love to go on the inteks
Yes Sir sure sounds like a cam problem, check valve lash and feel for the bumb 😊
Just keep cranking on it. That's just really good for the starter 😂
That was a blast watching you troubleshoot that! Congratulations!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hi Rick! Have fun tinkering on it! Thanks for all the videos you do ! Kathy’s too✅
You bet!
You are amazing! I'm so happy you got it running!!!❤😊
Thank you!! 😊
Learned my lesson tears ago when I worked for a local school district. Thirty- five years by the way. But I used to back things out of their trucks over the tailgate. After a while you end up with a tailgate that has a lovely curve to it. Now retired I remove my tailgate on my truck and back things out. I kind of like a straight tailgate. Seems to close so much better that way.
Good Idea! Thanks.
Can you try to remove the spark plug from the cylinder and see if it cranks any better. If so, remove valve cover and make sure both valves are set to .004 to .005 thousands of an inch. But it sounds like a bad camshaft. Engine will need to be removed and opened up. Do it. You will have fun. If you keep doing what your doing you will burn up the starter. You have a fun project! Enjoy.
The camshaft compression release is broken off; giving it the hard turn-momentary stop-turn motion. *Very* common on these engines.
Sweet good job Rick! Keep at it you will get it running right!
Yeah I'll work on it again in a couple days. 👍
Sounds like Oliver Wendell Douglas Tractor
👍👍 That darn Mr Haney!
Great video! Glad we could hangout with you guys a bit on a Tuesday. Congratulations nice find! Can’t wait to eat with y’all Friday! Time Ta Eat!!!
Can't wait!
First thing, set parking brake so the safety switches will let you turn it over. 2,check out oil level to see if carb float stuck and flooded crank case. Then check valves. Sometimes the cam malfunctions and the compression release breaks.
I enjoyed watching you solve the mystery . Good job! My dearly departed husband would tinker like this. I always knew where to find him. I miss him.
Thanks for watching!
this thing looks new!
👍👍
Nice clean mower.
👍 Yes! Not bad.
I saved up money, got my bonus at work, bought a brand new 54 inch zero turn cub cadet, these things things are not cheap at all. Get her running good!
Nice! 👍
A lot of people get rid of mowers because they will not start,and it will be something simple,a lot of times.
adjust the valves
Nice job Rick. Still needs some work, but you’re on the right path.
Yeah it's just fun to try to get it running.
Sounds like a sick diesel
👍🙂👍
Could be a sheared flywheel key too!
congrats mr rick , o'l huskee is beautiful , thank you for not givin' up on it
Thank you too!
Too much fun. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching! 🙂
That Intek is toast. Might make a good boat anchor, though. 😁
Yeah probably! 👍👍
That was awesome and we were rooting for you 🎉
Thanks so much! 👍😁
Nice Mower, I love FREE.!!!
Me too!
Rick Mammana check out the valves it kinda sounds like a valve is out of adjustment listening to it running on your video it's sounds like a valve problem I worked on one just like that and it had the same problem with being hard to start and I found it was the valves just relatch them to the right specs they need to be and you will have an awesome mower
Ok Thanks! 👍🙂
Your welcome glad I could help
The battery not the big problem 🎉.
Man has all those fancy cars and trucks but no ramps???😅
Just take it to small engine shop
Nice work my dude! Btw the mowers I hear in the background at the end of video sound like bad boy mowers
Thanks for watching! 👍👍
Valves are out or the cam compression release is broken as well can cause alot of problems worked on mowers 30 yrs good luck
Thanks! I'll work on it again soon!
Sounds like it’s got some hydro lock going on .
you need to adjust the gap on the coil thats why it wont rev up if you keep runing it the way it is now you will notice the muffler glowing cherry red and you will overheat the engine lol just a helpful tip :)
Thanks! Yeah I just figured that out. 👍
@@RickMammana good work it kinda sounded like your Harley at first lol
@@alleycat.propertymaintenan3821 👍😎
Rick Mammana check the valves I work on mowers a lot just figured I would share that with you it sounds like you have a valve out of adjustment you get that taken care of you will have a good mower

It was working the moment you mowed your tailgate unloading it!🤣
That spark when you hooked up the a/c charger to the battery…i thought for a sec you were gonna get shot out the seat😂😂😂 not a good practice…
👍👍
that great looking mower for free???thats a deal!:) Iam a deere guys of course....but wow it looks great!
Yes I was very happy! Still needs a little work. :)
Hey Rick adjust the valves very easy to do i bet thats it
Briggs and scrapem!
@@samsacre4304 lol their not that bad I got 406 hrs on my la 125 and 103 on my e130 no issues
They sold these at Tractor Supply stores
If it's free it's for me,that's my motto👍
Never seen an Intek engine that didn’t have a head gasket go bad.
I had a no spark issue on a craftsman mower. Though it might have been the coil and was going to go get one but glad i didn't. It was the kill wire. I done bypass switch on it and start first crank now.
I had the exact same problem with my troy built got a new mower after it broke down got Husqvarna yth18542 and i love it no problems at all even the battery stay charged through winter
Hi.....nice find for free....you can do it. .....you can do it.......yesssss you did it..... wooohooo..... ride em.... Rick...........take care..... Deborah 🇨🇦
Thanks 👍
Always use ethanol free gas if you can get it.
Ok! 👍
Sounds like it's catching against the magnito , not gaped
The starter and the battery
It could be the valve lash.
Where you hooked the charger up to the battery there is a red rubber cap thing on the battery put it on the red terminal and make sure it goes down all the way on the red terminal
Check the valves and a new starter
Go cook something pickle man lol. Kathy's got this
That could be one of the problems.but it seems the FLY WHEEL KEY IS SHEARED AND IT THROWS IT OFF TIMING.
👍👍
Doesn't sound like your compression release is working on your cam
Adjust the valves that's the problem. I had the same problem I adjusted the valves it rolled over great an it fired right up. An you need to gap the coil
Hey that 'FREE' sign looks like your handwriting... Is someone missing a mower?
😎
That is amazing
👍🙂👍
Valve adjustment or stater
Yes. I'm gonna work on it hopefully tomorrow. :)
Hi Rick carb needs cleaning or changed cheap on Amazon
you forgot to gap the coil
Clean the damn terminals. Soak the piston in diesel or anything the old additive from way back marvel mystery. Spray out your carburetor put some gas in and watch it start
Go and get you a battery tender I have one on my mower and it keeps the battery charged
I have a battery tender hooked up to the battery on my riding lawnmower and it keeps the battery charged on my riding lawnmower
Sounds like a Rod knocking.
👍👍
Starter bed
I have a free soda machine if you want to come and pick it up. Lol
Na. Hahaha
Don't have enough Amp to turn fast enough. Pull spark plug and turn over
I Love stuff like this, I knew you could get it running, I really wanted to see you ride it around and I did, Awesome Vid 😎👍✌️🤘💯🔥🥵❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
@@RickMammana I really did and you're welcome and thank you 😎👍✌️🤘💪💯🔥🥵
👍👍
Sounds like the starter
👍👍
It's knocking really bad. It sounds like someone run it out of oil and it's messed up the rod bearing. If you take care of that knocking now, you might end up with a good engine.
Thanks! 👍
sounds like a broken cam shaft compression release
Can’t beat free
Yeah! 👍👍
I’ve got an idea for a video tomorrow go out and buy some wax for it! You must’ve got rid of all your crockpots huh? One day an E-bike now this?
another great video
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@RickMammana , i sure did
I can't stand watching people who guess what might be wrong im A certified small engine master service technician I don't guess for the problem and i know that these engines are always in need of valve adjustments. This is just laziness and lack of diagnosis this guy should go take small engine repair classes i wouldn't buy A mower from him it probably last about 5 minutes 😂
Re adjust the valves
If it was outside of a Krispy Kreme, you wouldn't have found it.
never i seen a new riding lawnmower free
It's not new its about 10 years old. And it still doesn't run right.
You should try a craftsman yts3000
It's in the engine .
I will tell you those have problems with the camshaft going bad
What about the counterweight
That’s a Tractor Supply brand mower.
That's OK!
The reason for the starter dragging is because with not much of a battery left, that big charger is putting too much AC into the starter. That’s the reason for the loud hum. Now the high pitched hum is just the starter dragging with DC.
How can a DC charger put out AC electricity?
@@bertgrau3934 I tell you, that AC starter comment was totally ignorant. And 3 dummys agreed.
@@Joe-b8z4y
Agreed 🤝
A total novice
adjust the vavles
I will soon. Thanks!
How’s your john deer mower doing
Good! 👍
Sweet to hear that
Check the fly wheel
Ok! 👍
Hi rick❤
Hi
I had one similar acting that was a weak starter
👍👍
Something is a knockin I got a free one in the garage now the deck is off and looks somewhat complete and and complicated i have a snow plow for it laying against the house.
👍🙂👍
@@RickMammana I bought a WHOLE carb if i need it I paid 15 bucks for a whole carb off ebay new.
You have a bad camshaft
Well I just got one like it but cost 100 bucks and I’m getting ready to fix it next week after the zero trans stuff
Nice! 👍👍
You wanna know what'd be funny ha ha ha' if you'd hide over there somewhere behind a tree and wait until one of your neighbors started mowing their grass and as soon as they got off to take a break
You could run over there and put the free sign on their mower ha ha ha ha' yeah you could do that then start waving at people passing by and a pointing at your neighbors lawn mower.
Ha ha ha ha' yeah then just stand over there somewhere like you don't know what's going on. Ha Ha Ha Ha.
Yeah boy talk about being funny ha ha ha. ha.
That would be really funny!
It's may be. Cam.
Broken camshaft
that has a bad compression release
👍👍
Adjust the valves, problem solved
I will in a few days! Thanks,can't wait to try it!
Now give it back to the person who gave it away
The husband is a mechanic, I believe he told his wife he can't fix it so he can get a new one. That's OK.
Rick your not the brightest bulb in the pack
Why?
that was painful to watch
More junk to ur junk collection
👍👍
