This mower came to me from my mom and stepdad. It has been sitting for years (after breaking down) and they wanted to see if I could get it running. Prior to it breaking down it was also neglected in the maintenance department just a bit lol. Anyways, stay tuned for part 1 of this 2 part series!

You can spray carb cleaner into throat of carb and start it like that if you don't want to mess with the gaskets. You won't have to worry about kids getting it started since it can't be primed to get it started.
Good suggestion.
Those gaskets can get frustrating. I have tapped rtv along the side of the air channel before putting gasket on to stop air leaking from leaking when you push primer bulb.
Your on the right track. Sometimes I've put three gaskets to get it to prime. Tilt mower on it side with air filter on top. Remove spark plug cable. Have someone squeeze bale handle or tie it with zip tie. Turn blade and see if shaft is bent. You can tell by looking at blade bolt. Blade may be hitting on side of deck.
For that noise it made? Yeah I think that you're correct about that, I just didn't have time and another person to help with this. If it is bent its not to bad because it feels pretty balanced when running. I had a quick way to deal with it in part 2 lol.
Maybe I missed it, or you didn't show it in the video, but I didn't see you clean out the holes in the main jet in the float bowl screw before putting it back on. If these holes are plugged up with ethanol "jelly", the fuel might not get pushed into the carburetor when you pump the primer bulb. Just a thought. Good video, though.
I may have not included it in the video by accident but I definitely got that screw cleaned as well. Thanks for watching and the tip.
When you put the filter housing that attaches to carb. Make sure you can see fuel come out tube inside carb. If it don't its the gasket between carb and filter housing is not sealing and letting air out. Preventing carb from priming.
Yeah I get into this on part 2 next week! You're 100 percent right. That said I never could see any gas come out of the tube in the carb (if it did it was very small). But.....after I prime 4-5 times I do feel some pressure and the mower cranks right up.
@@mainelysmallengineDIY And the noise?
All that white stuff is from ethanol gas.
You got it - I've seen worse but this wasn't so good. Thanks for all of your comments and suggestions!!!!!!! This is what I wanted from RUclips!
He's not a professional at all just a novice. And he makes many mistakes along the way. In addition to not providing any tips or advice. My recommendation is so don't waste your time with this video because there are far better professional Small engine mechanics. Donny boy 73. Individualized repair. And there are others.
I literally say that I’m just doing it as a hobby in my videos and learning as I go. Waiting on your videos.

Literally read this as well. I agree that Donyboy is a pro but that doesn’t mean I can’t share my experiences buddy.
BTW if your so qualified why are you watching videos on how to repair things?
It’s sad that RUclips has guys like you going around leaving nasty comments.
Cheers!
@@mainelysmallengineDIY All you are doing is trying to make a few bucks off.RUclips and spread dis information. The problem with youtube is people just like you.
You have no idea what I’m doing or why I’m doing it and I’m HONEST that I’m a hobbiest and not a pro. No disinformation about it. Have a good one lol.
