Repairing a lawn mower that I bought new in 2016 but I made the big mistake of leaving it outside. Let's fix it!

It's a cute little mower. Looks nice and light, easy to maneuver. Glad you brought her back up to snuff. 😊
Nice change of pace compared to your usual resto videos. I was surprised to see how worn those tires were.
Don't let comments get you down-your repair videos are awesome.
We call them Stamp mowers, for when your lawn is the size of a postage stamp...
It never ceases to amaze me that the Brits and Americans have different pronunciations and spellings for that fuel metering device. Keep up the content brother
Yet it's spelled the same way 😂😂😂
I’ve never seen a plastic carb. Interesting to explore it with you. Thanks for another satisfying episode in your mower saga. Would love to see a sickle bar mower or tiller some time ❤
You got that right young man 👍😎 to never leave a mower outside in the elements because of the price for a new one today is out rageous
Like you videos and restorations. Keep ‘‘em coming. Cheers.😀
I pilled one of those apart recently. I was surprised and impressed at how easy they pull apart and reassemble. Made me wonder why repair shops charge so much to work on them.
See the difference is, when others leave their mower outside, it's just neglect. For you, it's future content! All joking aside, even such a small machine is still a machine that got retored, as it should. That's the part most people don't do and just throw them away, so well done!
It's called job security!
Hello you should clean the bottom of the mower and spray some wd-40 on the bottom it keeps the grass from sticking and I hope you get the mower running. 😊
as soon as i saw the notification i immediately clicked woooop wooppp
I bet I clicked faster
I'm newly subscribed and have learned alot already. Thanks, Mark Iowa USA.
The problem with the 450E carb is that the jet has been made VERY small to meet emission requirements. drilling the jet to the next possible size up is often the solution (next size up from the jets original size.
Great video, and looking forward to your upcoming projects.
Always looking forward to a new video. Thank you!
Excellent job bringing that mower back to a useful life. It may be only a humble push mower, but it is perfect for someone's smaller yard. The video shows it cuts very well. Also, for those who dislike and deplore plastic carburetors, you have demonstrated how eminently rebuildable they are. This is an education for me. Thumbs up from USA.
It's amazing how maintenance friendly they've made carburetors
Great video! 😃 can’t wait for the next one 👍
Nice work. 👍
Do you have a few usable mowers on hand? Or was that one just forgotten about. Plus, MATE! Those half turns with the mower at the end were spectacular, shows you definitely back that experience.
Great video. love watching your videos. i do not have a building/shed to put my push and ride on mower in. so i put a heavy duty trash bag over the motors After the engine is cold after i use them. i do drain the gas out of them in late fall, including draining the gas out of the carbs. this seems to work for me.
Those plastic carbs are awesome i fixed a push mower for a friend a while back and that was my first encounter and i had that thing running in no time.
Omg dont let virtual daggerwin near that, it is a dangerous machine! He might hit Doggowin
Sweet little mower!
Always nice too see vids like thise
Good for another 7 years well done 👍👍
I'm pretty sure all those types of engines with that carb set ups surge. I'm absolutely positive you know you have to in large the jet slightly. I had to do that to several mower that I've fixed for people. It blows my mind that this problem exists on these engines
My understanding is that (at least in the US) the carb jets are manufactured narrower to help meet fuel emission and consumption standards. The narrower jets are more easily blocked, particularly with ethanol added gas, causing fuel starvation and thus surging. I've also found that these plastic carbs start to deform in high temperatures (such as those found in the southern US) causing the same kind of issues.
Yeah your right, the 450 series with that style carb needs the main jet opening up just a hair, apparently the new replacement jet cartridges are slightly better.
Nicely done! Usually when I take one of these apart for service I remove the starter housing first, then the tank and carb can be removed as a unit and separated on the bench for cleaning / flushing. I like these newer Briggs engines, very service friendly and no corrosion from bad fuel.
Spoken like any man with a shed. Always need several backups just in case 😅 My wife just doesn't understand it 😭
I really dislike the plastic carbs. (Looking with evil eyes at Briggs and Stratton and Victa)
man. can you fix my old mower XD that thing is tricksy i love these sort of fixing videos. no fancy machines just a spanner and some time
Gotta love the Spec Trolls
Facts: this engine is still being made
Brilliant channel. Only just discovered it!! Going to have to do some binge watching!! Great to see you don't have annoying music (I don't think you have as anyway!)👊👊☺️☺️👍
Thank You! I have a slightly newer model (DOM 4/2017) of that B&S engine. Mine is a new old stock - bought it on eBay for $100 and have it mounted to an older MTD mulching push mower deck. So far it has 29.5 hours on it. All of my equipment has a self-powered hour meter (if it doesn't already have one). I have my parent's Murray 22-inch side discharge mower they bought brand new in 1986 powered by a B&S 3.5 HP quantum flat head engine. Still running strong and that engine has over 500 hours on it. They always had it stored indoors. As of 8/2006 I bought a Yardman 21iinch self-propelled mulching mower powered by a 6.5 HP B&S Intek overhead valve engine and that as of this last Saturday is up to 302.47 hours of runtime. The gas tank spung a leak at 165 hours, so I replaced that for one with a larger capacity. I had to replace the catalytic muffler at 243 hours to a standard muffler, then the electronic ignition coil gave out at 287 hours. So... around the 200-hour period I had to replace some things. It runs better than new! No, you cannot have too many machines to "Play" around with.
Works fine. Looks like it does a really good job mowing, but you're right, it's tiny!
Another great video 👍
This is a useful video if someone dose not know what they are doing
Excellent video :) also great shape for 2016 year Lawn Mower push type not sure Cobra version who makes them and hp is but does super well job for sure! But great video on tune up too !
Your very right about carb spray being bad for you, it draws the oils from your skin which then dies, i managed to get it all over my fingers a few times and every time the skin at the sides of my finger nails went hard and peeled.
Those briggs and stratton engines never miss a beat
Lovely job there yet again dude 👏👏👏. That one's like a little dinky toy mower in amongst all the big'uns 😁😁😁. 😎
My dad had an old Briggs mower with a plastic shield. Was never really serviced as far as I’m aware, was left over winter in a shed always. Used all summer for well over 10 years. Wish I’d kept it.
Love your videos can we see some more of ypur compact tractors working please
Any chance you can do a Saxon Baroness 180? So few videos of fixing these great mowers around - would really help the community!
Naughty Naughty Daggerwin lol.. least it wasn't to bad
Nice video
nice little mower, we have one thats smaller (which yes, is possible...) which i may have accidentally left outside all winter, we live in quite a snowy bit of america, so it was under about a 6 and a half foot (2 meters or smth like that) snow drift... though we dug it out in early spring, replaced the oil, replaced the fuel, and vroom, runs fine now, was a bit smokey at first and a bit down on power for the first mow, but after that, it was fine
Hello mister good job
Great video Dag, I have a couple questions though. Do you still have the B2100? Do you keep all of your restorations? If so I think that would be a cool video idea, show all of the tractors and stuff you still have and how they have been holding up. Anyhow keep them coming I love this channel of yours
I’m shocked you didn’t pressure wash it.
How often do you come over a new mower? I can see how much as you can prodjuce Im not good to write in english Im living in the south of Sweden our little village is called Sonnarp and this is my paradise on this planet I love to work at home in my garage and repair mowers, tractors and orher machines. I have two old Belos ILO222 and 275K. Two Stiga Villa from the 1980’s with very rusty rotorboards I cant find a better youtube Canal and producer like your!👍🏻 Best regards/Johan Ståhl
Today I learned that emission standards in the EU are less stringent than the U.S. Note that this engine is "EU only", as shown on sticker visible @5:46.
We have these in Australia badged by Victa (blue deck, grey handle). Those little 16 inchers are a good second mower option for really awkward terrain. A steep grass hill that slopes to a concrete gutter is very sketchy unless the mower is light and nimble like these ones.
So true. I actually have a 13 incher that I use basically as a bagging weed wacker. Not just steep banks (have a few of those), but tight spots where the bigger mower won't fit. Bought it on a whim and can't believe how I lived without it, lol
Those carbs are the worst to clean I have used a torch cleaning tip set it's got various sizes of round files in it good luck 😊
we have one of those, but i don't think it has the briggs engine. Absolute pain to get started cold without easy start. the carbs don't like having fuel sat in them over winter either. they're not bad for the price though.
I bought a house which has a Honda mower that's been left outside, to the point of where the housing is rusted. I wonder if I'll ever get that mower to run again. 😅
These are the late engines that ruined B&S reputation. Anything post 2005 stratton is not known to be reliable. You need to get a Honda HRU194 and restore it; best quality mowers ever made and 40 years old! I very recently had a walk behind Honda HRU195 with over 10,000 hours on it, worked perfectly except for the rubber valve stem seals that needed replacing
Seems everything now is made out of plastic. I wonder when the entire mower will be some form of plastic, even the casing and pistons. I am sure those parts are being investigated to see what type plastic can withstand the combustion and heat... Who knows... Thumbs Up!
It's a nice looking mower mines so old the paint is flaking off after I wash the deck underneath
I find it fascinating how bad small engine stuff seems to get in the UK/US vs where I live, in Northern Norway
Love it! But you might wanna upgrade it for a bit wider of a mower for no man’s land …
I wouldn’t worry about people commenting about the oil level I thought it was just fine that it was slightly higher level because after so many uses it would consume a little over time sometimes.
I'm sure that green is an OK color for fuel 😂
You sound just like Daggerwin. Just kidding I looked up your other channel when you mentioned it on the latest FS22 video.
I always put gloves on when working with diesel fuel or carb cleaner, or anything else like that. And it annoys me because at work I get called a wuss because I want to protect my hands and body? It doesn't make sense😂
12:36pm just wondering why he didn’t check spark plug did he put a new one in?? Also was wondering why didn’t he check compression also never seen a plastic carburetor before? Also noticed it’s not self propelled good video though 👍
No need to check compression. This is HIS mower, so its not an unknown, he has the history.
you don't have to use an impact wrench just to put the blade on, you can use a regular ratchet wrench for the blade
Thanks captain obvious
Where does he get these mowers from?
These built by DAYE POWER in China they good mowers I’ve got a green one with there own engine 173cc
“Very carefully give that a quick tug”. I’ll be trying that line on the wife later
I'm not gonna pick on you or beat you up. Just giving some facts. That STP is garbage. It doesn't burn like gas. Berryman's Carburetor and Injector cleaner does. You can use it to back a car up on the lift to change a bad fuel pump. I'll watch anything you post but there's a bunch on this very subject with a bunch of garbage mixed in. Very well made video.
Erm never seen an air filter cleaned with water and soap ,?? always done mine with clean petrol.then re oiled. Save chance of water not fully evaporating
Son, that is just plain evil of you.. (okay, so maybe I'm a little guilty, too) 😅
Why does the mower have a sticker on the engine to say ‘not for sale in America’? Great video, cheers 👍👍
Emission rules
The emissions standard for the EU are different and this engine has higher emissions than allowed in the US.
@@TerryLawrence001 thanks for the replies! I am surprised that the USA has stricter emissions than EU, I imagined it would have been the other way around 👍
@@gerrym4377 I guess the better way to say it is : Various regions have different rules to satisfy what ever the BS politicians get paid to promote.
@@TerryLawrence001 you will not be wrong there Terry!!
great job thanks have fun
Do you sell the mowers you restore or do you just have a shed full of restored mowers?
You don’t really need to wear chemical cloves to clean the carb the carb spray won’t do anything to hurt your skin if u wash your hands after
You should make some kind of uber-mower from two other mowers.
How do i message you please? Do you make decals yourself? I'd love to buy a set for a T1200 i'm currently doing.
Ok thanks.
Daggerwin lol!😊
A PATRON NAMED Nathan D LIKE BROOOOOOOOOOOOOO NATHAN IS MY NAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi, hope you don't mind me asking but I'm struggling to find a fuel tank for my Murray ride on mower, I can't send pictures on here but do you have an email I can contact you on just to see if you may have one I could buy from you? Cheers 👍
How many mowers do you have 22:17
How much would a mower like this sell for in your market??
What did you use to clean out the fuel tank please?
many people in his area are missing mowers!!! lol
rinse out with water and put a rag in it then blow it around with compressed air
Hold on is this daggerwin? He sounds exactly like him
Is he actually daggerwin cause they sound so alike
I've never seen a plastic carburetor.
u soundd like daggerwin
It's better to have a shed for sheltering lawn equipment.
You cut grass irl like you do on FS 😅😅
Plastic carburetor. My world will never be the same.
Immediate click…nice one👍
21:40 Lol
I didn't realise there was a 'KZhead Lawnmower Police'... Heck.
after you put your machines away on NML you decide to do the same with your actual machines! lol
Those fuel modules are £7. It is a common failure point and not worth even cleaning.
Tut Tut Tut Sir. May just be a cheap push mower but they are the bread and butter of most gardens. My push mowers are in the reagion of 2k+ and id litelarly behead the person who dares abuse them. They make more money than the high maintenace ride on mowers. Ill forgive you as i really enjoy your videos.
very informative video and very helpful lawn mower repair video. are you up for a collaboration? Hipa supplies parts for small engines and maybe we would work together to help more people in the community. I just shot an email to you and maybe we can talk there?
Hey ... Daggerwin ? ... you never really introduced yourself on this channel ... but you are Daggerin ... I just gonna call you Daggerwin ... I have a question, how do you happen to know so much about lawnmowers, you not only know about them from the mechanical side, but you also know a lot of their quirks and features. Do or did you work as some sort of lawnmower mechanic or is this all just a self tought hobby ... or both ? I would really like to know.
