I started towing when I was 19 years old, I enjoyed calling myself a tow man for over 26 years.
During that time I learned so much, also shared that knowledge with many new to the industry.
After my departure from towing I had chosen a path driving tractor trailer with a major organization. I spent 8 1/2 years in that position.
Currently I am a driving safety instructor for that organization.
Like so many of you I have struggled when my equipment didn't work.
I also watched many hours of TH-cam videos, then started working on my own equipment. Then began working on equipment for others.
As you watch my early videos, those were learning experiences as I made those videos.
I hope you enjoy the videos.

Thank you very much. Appreciate people like you that take the time and post things like this for others to enjoy and learn. Paying it Forward. Such a beautiful thing. Cheers.
@@AlbertoRossi-fx6nz I am still learning myself. TH-cam has helped me lots of times, like fixing my washing machine and furnace. You may never know how much you watching and commenting means to me also .
I have brand new log splitter with the CR 950 engine ran fine when I first got it, but 4 months later I have to use starter fluid to get it start and will only run with it fully choked. Will change out fuel and may check a few thing in the carburetor?
@@robertmassmann228 sounds like debris got inside carburetor and clogged jet. If it runs on choke, would mean it's getting more air than fuel. If base gasket not leaking air in, then carburetor clogged.
Thanks for this video. Do you have one that shows how to fix/troubleshoot the same carburetor - rather than replace? I'm 67 years old, real new to DIY I have a log splitter with the same motor - with 2 hours service from new - that will not stay running. The vendor believes the carb is being starved for gas - it only runs for at most 30 seconds. Apparently there could be a problem with a floater.
@@Wicka1957 sorry I do not, if I remember correctly there was a rea close comparison in price for rebuild kit and new carburetor.
thank you
@@icu-81too you're welcome, thanks for watching.
Thank you for the wonderful video. It really help me to solve my mower issue: choked and gradually stopped starting. I checked gas, replaced engine oil, none of them worked. I exactly followed this video procedure. It works. Even though the carburetor didn’t look dirty or clogged in the small hole, I did clean it by a needle. and carburetor cleaner. However one thing worth to be noticed that the mower didn’t start totally after I reinstalled the everything, but I easily started it after 24 hours. One big question here why this model mower has this issue, how can I prevent it in the future?
@@edwardhdwang not sure why it didn't start right away after cleaning, that's an odd one. As for why this model has this issue, that again I don't know. I personally had some that even after cleaning they still had problems so I would replace the jet. I bought jets on Amazon rather cheap.
Thanks for the video. . Just changed my blades and this was a perfect guide.
@@philvanhorne9068 thanks for watching, appreciate you commenting also.
Dear Lazy Grandpa, When I bought my new replacement carburetor I noticed that it did not come with the plastic piece that connects to the automatic choke linkage. I was able to remove it from the old carburetor after watching your video. Thank you and may God bless you.
@@ebhoehl6078 glad the video helped you get going again
That mower is the biggest piece of junk I've ever owned,it's broken almost as much as it works,between cleaning that plastic carb,replacing the drive belt,that carb needs cleaned twice a season and yes there was a fuel filter placed to the supply line,the thing that gets me is it never looks dirty,my tank is spotless,only use 93 fuel and ethanol shield fuel stabilizer,I would also suggest removing the float there is a needle and seat under the float that should be cleaned also
@@lenclayton1100 some I just replace the jet instead of cleaning. Yeah doesn't take much to clog them. Plastic carbs are easier to work on. Majority of people I know don't have any issues with carburetor.
I ordered a chrome version. Haven't gotten them yet. Do you think they would be brighter?
@@jenandjoegibbs8764 I wouldn't know that answer
Honda's split wheel rim design makes removing and mounting a tire a breeze. Just remove the bolts that join the haves and Bob's your uncle. First time I see this design.
I sure hope no one got hurt from the piece of blade
@@robcole332 to my understanding, nobody was hurt.

No sir always use fresh oil on filter gasket
@@johnslawncaretips4103 I have always used the old oil on oil filter gasket. Been doing that for 40+ years.
Take the old carburetor apart and show us what was wrong with it. That would make the video much better.
@@MrReycuda needle went bad, so gas leaked into engine. Needle cost as much as new carburetor. I originally diagnosed the issue late summer, swapped carburetor in spring for neighbor.
I have found that when I put on very HEAVY(thick/strong) blades, then I never have to replace them again. I think Gator was one brand I got but I'm not sure. Senior moment here.
@@2Truth4Liberty on my push mower I replaced my blade once in 20 years. About to do it again. Blade life expectancy is based off many factors, amount of use, proper care as in sharpening, hitting sticks or rocks and such. If you have sandy soil, that sand wreaks havoc on blades.
@@LazyGrandpasGarage "Blade life expectancy is based off many factors" Agree! I never sharpen now so maybe that is why my blades last forever. I hit lots of gravel, large stones with "iceberg tips" sticking up and tree roots, so the tough heavy blade is almost a requirement. I used to go through 2 or 3 standard blades in just 1 or 2 mowings mostly becuase of getting bent so they dug the ground.
I have a vacuum that plays sweet music too ;-0)
Looks like.alot of moves needed
I have never seen a 46 inch deck with only two blades, everyone I have seen had three blades. You did a good job.
@@jimeckenrode1271 when it comes to riding mower decks, they come in 2 & 3 blade options.
Would this be same carb on a 5000SX ??
@@scottprenzler4764 I honestly don't know, may need to look up to find out.
What if it stalls in the middle of summer 😅
@@Stiff_Richards then I would check that everything moves freely, if so then check carburetor.
@@Stiff_Richards first I would ask myself does it stall idling or when auger engaged. That would tell which to start with.
How they perform now?
@@nikosicapero5294 they do lose brightness after a couple minutes. Still like them over halogen. They are my first set of LED though.
@@LazyGrandpasGarage are they bright enough? How about driving in rain?
@@LazyGrandpasGarage ive seen they are available in 4300k maybe its much brighter than 6500k
If some engine oil got into the transmission, does anyone know the best way to flush it out? When drained, does every ounce of fluid drain out or is some trapped?
@@wildmanofborneo I would drain transmission fluid, operate a few minutes to get remaining engine oil mixed with transmission oil then change again.
So, I just did all this. It will fire up, with a little bit of carb cleaner, but it will die as soon as it is gone.....what else can I do?
@@racheltesch1977 carburetor bolts to intake tube, if that tube is loose it will suck too much air and have same symptoms.
Rear wheel drive belt won't loosen to start it up, belt is tight all the time, all is ok up at the handle bar. ....thanks
@@alsmith5714 stupid question, did you pull belt guard cover off and inspect what's binding underneath? Grass build up, does transmission rotate back and forth when engaging and disengage
Hilarious
Excellent video. This helped me out.

7:19 PB blaster or Aerokroil is your friend
@@Brian0045 the blades came off easily, no chemicals were needed
@@LazyGrandpasGarage I should have waited until after I removed mine to comment. The nuts looked rusted to beat all hell, but they did come off so easily I'm pretty sure I didn't need it.
Mine were too tight. Even with PB blaster it took away bit of work to get them off.
@@philvanhorne9068 not sure why people put them so tight.

We're can I buy the offset piece from what website
@@ronaldrichmond6402 I bought mine in store at Menards. You could check with Char-Griller themselves or Google the proper firebox for your grill to find best deals. Free shipping is always good if offered.
I wonder if we can bore the 261 to accept the 362 piston, or even bolt on the 362 jug/piston.
Great video! Your explanations saved me hours and got my HRM215 back in action! Thanks!
@@robschauer4031 You're welcome, have a great day.
I'm having trouble getting the bottom plate off. Your demo showed it coming off easily with a screwdriver. I'm afdraid of breaking it if too forceful. Do you have any suggestions. Also, what is the hex bolt at the bottom of the plate for?
@@rogerbernard6753 some do come off very hard. The hex bolt is for draining gas during off seasons. I had bottom cover come off effortlessly, others using screwdriver and prying hard.
Thank you! I have a question, is it possible to disassemble the carburetor and clean it instead of replacing it with a new one?
@@zhengyunli800 you could try, however I like I mentioned the rebuild kit costs more than a new OEM carburetor.
white lithium wd40 works better. i tried regular wd40 before and it just jammed up on me.
@@jd83241 you could survey 100 people, you would have multiple different preferences as to what each prefers. I recommend using what works best for you. Thanks for stopping by and watching the video.
Good, clear directions. Thank you!
@@AllenBlackwood you're welcome, I truly appreciate when someone takes time out of their busy schedule to leave me a kind message of appreciation.
The new carburetor has an extra screw on the side. At 5:25 you can see the screw on the right of new carb, but not on the old.
Only screw I see is idle adjustment, which I see on both.
Please next video say "da bears"
Please explain
Why are small engine carburetors having problems - is it the ethanol? I don't remember so many failing years ago
Yes majority of carburetor repairs I do have to do with ethanol. Regular unleaded didn't cause these problems. I used non-ethanol gas and never have issues with my own equipment. Cost roughly dollar more per gallon though.
Great job - you helped me tremendously (I'm another old guy over 60) I liked that you explained & showed everything clearly. BTW you are 27 1/2 twice - it sounds better
Glad it was of help. As for the age, I wear 55 better.
I just purchased the exact mower used and it hardly could move so I purchased a new Toro belt for it. This video had great step by step directions and illustrated just where everything is. I ran into the additional fun of having one of the motor mount bolts snapping g off (it is a 12 year old machine that appears to have spent some time out in the weather) After drilling that out, everything else went smoothly. One additional point is that the travel cable may need some adjustment where it bolts to the handle with the additional traction of a new drive belt
I have not had the fun of a broken engine bolt, lot's of left side engine mount bolts working loose. They sound like a noisy engine upon start up. Thanks for mentioning cable adjustment, will have to make a video on this. Appreciate your stopping by and long comment.
I don’t understand why you took the wheels off
Easier to remove bolts holding underside cover into place.
Great video. I had trouble, however. I'm confident I did everything correctly... but I had fuel flooding the carburetor, filling th little cup behind the air filter, etc... which I stopped quickly with the vice grips. I mopped it up, etc. Now I'm stuck on what to do/try next.
Fixed it. I watched "Small Engine Guys" video titled " toro recycler smart stow carburetor repair. briggs and stratton 7.25 163 cc carb clean"... around the 9:25 mark, they talk about the float... and mine got all screwy while I was fiddling with the other stuff. I reseated it with the little needle pin in it's right spot and BINGO! Runnin' like a top. Thanks again.
If it's got gas running like that, the needle isn't seating properly. Check to make sure float and needle is not sticking. Verify rubber tip on needle isn't damaged.
Excellent presentation
Thank you for your kind words
I tipped my lawnmower the wrong way amd your video just saved me.
Glad to hear that
1:10 - instead of taking off the rear drive wheels...raise them to the highest setting, then remove one of the bolts (to the plastic rear baffle/bagger assembly)...then lower the wheels to the lowest setting, to finally remove the last screw to the rear plastic baffle. It was TH-camrs like you that empowered me to fix rather than replace my 22 inch Toro Recycler. Just paying it forward thanks for sharing and what you do!
Thanks for information, I personally find it easier to remove wheels so you could remove any debris and inspect gears.
Thanks for a great video. I have the same engine with the same exact problem. Problem solved.
The 10mm bolts that fasten the bracket, that holds the adjustment cable to the deck (4:22), do you know their length? I'm missing one and have to replace it. Also, if I turn the deck over to clean the underside, will the belt remain in place, or will it fall off? Thanks.
Sorry I do not know the length. As for belt, I do not know as it's been a while since I worked on it.
Good video!
