Didn't see the link for the homemade cleaning lubricating fluid....
Hey Steve i got a yradworks 172cc runs an dies right away any video on that its an auto choke im new to them
In the video you said you would put the recipe for your brother.s cleaning concoction in the show notes, it’s missing.
nice vlog research ion detox
747tbar, the link popped up during the video, but that may vary depending on the device you’re using. Here’s the direct link: th-cam.com/video/cElDM06Mk3c/w-d-xo.html
Anybody who has tried and more importantly FAILED to perform even the simplest lawn mower/small engine repairs should come away from Steve's Saloon with a newfound respect for experience and an engineer's mind. I may not successfully complete all of my DYI repairs, but damned if I haven't learned YEARS' of tech from Steve. Let's all buy this guy a beer. Or ten.
Wow! Thank You...
I've only seen a few of his tutorials, I really like Dony Boy, but now I have 1 favorites! I'm not a good learner, its hard for me to absorb info, but Steve here is really detailed and I have learned enough to gain confidence in my repairs! Thank you so so so much Steve for sharing ypur valuable knowledge!
@@mongamcdowell2693 - Yes he goes through it all as well as he can. Camera angles and demo's added after filming are great. Well done Steve. Well done mate.
@@StevesSmallEngineSaloon - I have just started up a tool sharpening and machine maintenance workshop and you bud are helping greatly. We salute you fine sir for all your efforts. Much love from England.
Tutorial was great however it would have been really great without the obvious display of the giant beer which insinuates alcohol habit that's most likely out of control these sort of influences are very negative and unappreciated
Makes me want to drive around and look for lawnmowers 😎
Go for it!
2024 here and out of all the different channels I see fix lawnmower this channel is better by far
Thank You...
I was able to free up the exhaust valve on a Briggs 250cc snowblower engine today by using a similar technique. Thanks again!
Thanks for covering the "no compression" problem. Awesome Steve!
Glad to help!
Steve rocks it again, lots of people would say your rings were worn out.
Thank You...
Steve has saved me so much money over the years , I cashed it in and bought a Steve's Small Engine Saloon sweatshirt !
Right on Joe! Thank You...
I am 68 and having been playing with engines since I was old enough to turn a wrench. I always learn something new from you. My friend and I had a similar problem to this one. It was on a Kawasaki V-twin in an Argo ATV. The intake valves felt like they were welded into the head, and the push rods dropped out. We stuffed nylon rope into the cylinders to keep the valves from dropping into the cylinder, took the valve springs off, worked the valves loose, then used acetone to clean the valve stems. We had a chance encounter with an Argo dealer at a outdoor show. He was familiar with sticking valves on Argos, and he told us how to fix it. We were going to pull the engine out. He saved us a lot of work! Now I see we could have left the valve springs on and simplified the job. Your penetrating oil formula would have worked great. Keep up the excellent work! Thank you Steve!
Thank You...and You're Welcome...
I had that problem on a liquid cooled Kawasaki 425 John Deere when I used Sta-Bil fuel stabilizer. I had a 5 gallon tank of it. It happened twice on the same tank of gas. So after I fixed the valve the second time, I didn't shut it off until it ran out of gas. Put in a fresh tank of gas with no Sta-Bil never had a problem since and that was over 10 years ago. I don't use Sta-Bil anymore.
Not many repair people show these good repair knowledge because they want to earn money. You Steve i think if you have enough money for beer your happy. your reward is from heaven . Rich people dont bother repairing themselves but people like me really appreciate your videos. God bless. Saleem from Australia
Thank You...
He is the gift that keeps giving !! I was surprised to see it was the intake valve, I always thought the exhaust port was 100x more likely to stick. This is why these channels are so great, you learn things.
Thank You...
If I ever have a problem with my mower I always look at your videos for remedies. thank you Steve have a great day!
Thank You...and You're Welcome...
This video is a real good one to know and REMEMBER, Also it is more importantly to note the "45 Colt" beer and if it is a tall can the "45 LONG Colt" also works well from the hip
I am doing as the Technical manager in Kuwait for 20 years. We are the dealers for Husqvarna in Kuwait, and so many machines. I have visited Husqvarna factory too in Sweden.You are doing all exactly how I am doing . Mostly we the carburetor must be cleaned too because deteriorated gasoline.
All the best buddy!!
Thanks for this video. I was working on my wife's niece's nice Honda mower that I determined had no compression. It was about 7 years old, but had sat for about the last three years because they had moved to a new home and had no grass to mow. Once I got the valve cover off, the problem was exactly like your video shows, I squirted some carb cleaner down the valve stem and guide, and wallah, it freed up in a few minutes of working it in and out. I adjusted the valves and put the cover back on and it runs like a champ. Easiest fix for what I thought was going to be a major problem. Thanks again.
Steve, I had a Plate tamper with a Honda engine that was a buddy's he lent me then never wanted it back when I offered to return it. Well, years went by and it acted this same way. No compression when he finally wanted it back. I wound up doing him a solid and swapped his non running engine off and put another one I had bought before this off a guy for $25 USD. Then returned the Tamper in working order to him. I will get the old one working and put it on a Water pump or other tool some day. Great to see you cover the Valve issue I encountered.
Thanks for making this video!!!! Just had this happen to my daughter’s lawnmower with a 190 on it. I pulled the valve cover and there it was, stuck all the way down. I could not get it to move at all no matter how much carb cleaner it sprayed on it I could not get it free. I took off the valve spring, valve steam seal, and removed the carb and sprayed the valve stem in the port. Finally all at once it popped out and was completely free. I put it all back together and it now runs great!!!
Awesome!
Wow! This really helped! I was given a brand new 5 year old Troy Bill TB200 that wouldn’t start. Did everything you suggested in your videos and it still didn’t start. Opened the valve cover and one of the rocker arms was very loose. It had good compression so this was a Hail Mary. 10 minutes later it was back together and started on the first pull. Guessing the set screw was loose from factory. I have refurbished about five mowers I found by the curb but this was the hardest. Would never have attempted without this video.
Right on Joey!
I've an old friend that has the same exact mower with the exact same problem that I just looked at for his yesterday.
I'll definitely try this out!
You're the boss of small engine DIY help Mr. Steve! 👍
Right on Jack!
@@StevesSmallEngineSaloon You're the best! That makes my day when someone as you with so many YT subscribers takes the time to personally reply to me.
I'm an American, grew up in New Jersey, as an adult moved to Florida for 6 years and now have lived in Mississippi where my wife's from and have lived here with her since the mid 1980's.
What I'm driving at is that my step grandmother was from Toronto in one side of my family and an aunt and her 3 children were Canadians. The younger girl used to play goalie for us as teenagers in street hockey games and she was a beautiful blonde.
All of them loved Canada and were the best of people "no doubt", like you brother!
Thanks again for all!
Steve saves the day again .. refuse to scrap my toro .i replaced carb and now the valve job Mann it’s that time crack a cold one salu buddy from San Antonio Tx..
You know your beans when it comes to lawn, garden and tractor equiptment. Good video as always.
Thank You...
youre a life saver. had problems trying to start my lawnmower. Changed the park plug but the problem persisted. Did know what to-do. looked up 'starting problems for lawnmowers' on you tube and found your videos. Didnt know anything about compression. Did exactly what you said and sure enough it was a compression problem......fixed it as instructed by you and now starting beautifully. thanks heaps.....saved me time and money. youre a champ. from Australia.
Right on buddy! You're Welcome...
Excellent video. Well explained. I started fixing mowers etc for my neighbours a few years ago. I have not had a "no compression" situation yet, but thanks to Steve, now I am ready for it. Thanks again!
You're Welcome...
I can't count the number of mowers I've found on trash piles because they won't run. Usually it is a simple fix. Fouled spark plug from mowing on a steep slope or a broken wire on the magneto etc. It's easy to fix most anything with an engine if you simply look at the details. Keep the vids coming Steve. I enjoy watching the diagnosis.
Right on ....
Steve. You are a life saver, and you described the compression issue simply and to the point. Thank you. Ray
You're Welcome...
Every day i learn something new.. thanks
My pleasure
Very easy fix. One pull was all it took to start. That was AWESOME!!
Thank You...
Today I found a leaf blower in the trash and thanks to you for sharing solutions. I found the problem ! Now is running like champ my blower at $0.00 cost I appreciate big thanks sr !
Great job!
Was hoping it was a sticking valve and not something worse. Going back to check the video about adjusting valve clearance now! Thanks to both of you for helping all of us!
You're Welcome...
My good old Honda from 2005 had exactly the same problem. It just don't started. I checked "everything" with bad results. Then I found your excellent video, and guess what, exactly same valve was sticked. Lot of Würth Rost off oil on it, then it moved smoothly again. 15 more years with my Honda I think!😎
Thank you very much for the video, keep up the good work!
Greetings from Finland!
You're Welcome...
Amazing. I really enjoy your personality and you do a great job on explaining and videoing. God Bless.
Thank You...
Came across a few of your videos and I will be damned, ASPIRIN BEFORE BRAIN SURGERY. Is the beer considered a tool?? You rock. It has been several years since I but Steve"s video;s remind me of the gratiication the tech gets when he hits the nail perfectly centered. Thaanks and I have subscrived and liked the video. Love the videos regarding carb problems. Thank You for what you do for us DIyers.
I'm so glad I found you. You're seriously saving me a fortune in Mechanics fees. £50 per hour labour charges here. I've subscribed because you're a legend. Thank you sir.
Thank You...and You're Welcome...
Excellent and very useful repair video Steve-O...! I can very easily see a repair shop padding up the repair bill on a job like this one. Thank you for making things simple and clear bud.
Thank You...and You're Welcome...
Thank you bro. U just saved me $400 bucks for a new mower. I did what u showed.And the valve was stuck. A little elbow grease and finger work, got compression back. Been cranking and running every since😊
Nice work!
Your acetone ATF solution was the first thing that came to mind. That's great stuff
I couldn't find the recipe for that acetone and atf. What is the mix ratio?
50/50
@@jefferyhopcus8300 Thanks ole buddy!
Wow, I love your saloon. I got a small Toro edger from a neighbor, he was about to pitch it because it didn’t have any compression. I said no. no, I’ll go to Steve’s Saloon. I’ll get back to you on my findings. It won’t be for awhile. I have pressing stuff, getting ready for a 4th of July barbecue here at home.
We need a Steve's Small Engine Saloon calendar. Each month could picture a different lawnmower.
Obviously this is an issue with this engine. This is why I watch you Steve! I was ready bro tear down my motor and replace the valve, now I have a much less involved project this weekend (hopefully). I still need to clean the carb as this mower has been sitting for years, I am glad I didn't throw it away.
Glad to help
Great video Steve thanks for sharing your knowledge with us you save us a lot of money .
You're Welcome...and Thank You...
Your stuff is great. You've been added to my list of self teaching TH-cam professors. Be safe and be well Steve.
Wow, thanks
Thank you Steve for your videos you're teaching me so much I really appreciate it
You're Welcome...
Ur a professional teacher love watching ur video's learning a lot keep amazing video's coming.
Thank you, I will
Your a rock star Steve ! That was freaking most impressive Sr.!!! KW.
Thank You...
P
You're the man, Steve! I fixed my old Honda generator the same way. It had been stored for over a year and would not start. The intake valve was stuck open, so I doused it with WD40 and gave the valve a few taps with a plastic mallet. Adjusted the valve clearances and it started up quick and still works great! Thanks for the video, buddy.
Thank You...and You're Welcome...
Great video Steve! I was given a Honda 160 with 0 compression. Took the valve cover off and the valves were working. Dug deeper and found that someone had replaced the timing gear and installed it 180 degrees out of phase. Thanks for all you do for us.

Very cool video Steve! You can't beat a fix like that! You need to give that ultimate penetrating oil a name. Maybe something honoring Mike.
"Mike's Special Sauce"

The (Mike-anator penetrating oil )
Okay, I have about barely 50psi compression on my gauge, hardly any cord resistance when I pull it. I followed your instruction here, but both of my valves are moving.
Oh boy, what now…
What a womderful thing when that Honda started on the first pull then purred like a kitten! Great diagnosis and prescription! 👍🏼
The Colt 45 would maybe clean the valve but not good to waste that way!!! Cheers
Might be a Colt 45 but kicks like a mule.
Colt 45 isn’t bad if you buy it fresh. Too many places sell almost none of it and you get stale product. Overindulgence will be costly, as it does hang over. At least that’s what my friends tell me
I just found your videos searching for DIY lawnmower fixes. They are a great resource
Thank You...
Very cool Steve.. and your brothers stuff works great!!!
Thank You...
Steve, you just saved me at least $95! So many other videos I've found only discuss carburetor issues - but nothing beyond that. Thank you!
You're Welcome...
It's amazing to me how such a tiny bit of effort can fix such a bad problem as no compression on a mower. As always thanks for sharing Steve
Who knew that a little compression could save the day? It's like giving your mower CPR!
Gave up on a mower recently , going to give this a try .
Good luck!
Watched your video, went out and removed the valve cover, and behold, my top valve was stuck. Got that guy loose with some Q20 and tapping and pulling. Pushed it in a few times after it started moving freely. Replaced all, turned the blade and it bounced back. Flipped the mower and she started on the first pull. Thank you so much!
Nice work!
Gotta love Honda small engines, less trouble than any other manufacturer
Right on ...
Had this exact problem with my Honda mower. This video saved me. Thanks!!
Great to hear!
Am I the only one who thought he was going to clean that rocker arm with beer 🍺? Lol
Oh hell No, that would be a sin to waste beer like that. lol
yeah, I believe that you are the only one! LOL 😁
You dont need Uncle Al. , your great.
Thank You...
Thank you very much for the video on no compression lawn mower.
You are welcome!
Great video. I've seen a lot of engines sit for a season or two and act like this. Good place to start by looking at the valves instead of trashing the mower. Cheers
Thank You...
Honda Bond is the real deal! I have never had anything leak whenever I have used it.
Lawn mower starts: WOW THAT SOUNDS LIKE A LAWN MOWER! 😂
Steve first time on your chanel. Have a 21 inch lawn/mulcher. Clean filter, clean sparkplug mower slow down when cutting grass

You are the embodiment of wisdom in one who understands the Dunning-Kruger Effect.
Steve, I have three mowers, one Honda tiller and a mantis 2cycle or what I call my psycho tiller that were all given to me to "work on" since I badly injured my back. I have been at a total loss with how to get started with trouble shooting these things. One has a bad or sticky recoil spring, once(the Honda tiller) won't stay running and the third is an old troybilt self propelled mower that will neither stay running nor self propell. But thanks to your time energy and knowledge and giving, I at least know where to start. Thank you...
Thanks Steve. My 13 year old Toro thanks you too.
So easy - I used CRC to free up the exhaust side and some marine sealant for the cover
I had a blade which was 1 1/2 short on one side too. I was nearly going to ditch it, now it is back in the 'stable'
RTV Sealant
All right, grab a beer (Elysian space dust) and sit down and watch Steve fix another engine for practically nothing! Thank you my friend 👍 😃
You're Welcome...
Great video. Working on a lawn mower which I believe has no compression. Will try your way by spinning the blade. Question: What kind of compression gauge tester is used. Bought one at Harbor Freight Tools which is to test gas engines like car. Can this be used to test a lawn mower. I got a reading of 30 psi. Used gauge on another good running mower and got a reading of 50 psi. Seen many videos, but no one has ever stated, well this is the correct compression gauge tester that you use to test lawn mowers. Also can this gauge be used to test weed eaters. Thank you for your answer.
Steve I have a 22in awd toro recycler with guaranteed to start (ha ha) B&S 7.25… A little over 4yrs old. Started on first pull until 2wks ago. Couldn’t get it started. Watched several of your videos so set out to check spark, fuel, and compression. Used a spark tester showed good spark, shot a small amount of starting fluid through carb still no start. Pulled plug and grounded to make sure spark at electrode.
(Had a plug on time that was shorted out).. Good spark at electrode, gave small shot of starting fluid put plug back in and if finally started
After several pulls. Tried your quick compression check, blade kicked back but felt a little weak. Got compression gauge could only get
30lbs which would explain why I finally got it started. Question is what would cause low compression?…I don’t drink beer will hard liquor
Do or do I have to make my wife drink a couple of beers🤪
You are amazing Steve. I have a lawn mower that's not working and i have no idea why. it feels like a quest now to try all of your suggestions on your videos one by one to see if i can bring it back to life. wish me luck!
Go for it!
Good job Steve. I just done that same job with a horizontal shaft B&s.
Same thing, but mine runs a 12 volt generator for my solar powered house (absolutely NO mains power), when it's a dull day I need this B&S. BUT You are the god of chain saw carbs!! Beer helps too.
Thank You...
You are a pleasure to follow for us less mechanically inclined.
Thank You...
My old mower sat for probably 2 years because a neighbor gave me hers and I got it running so I just used it. Now it’s kaput. Put new carb, hose, cable, filter, bulb. Well, it only has 36 compression. Oh, anyway, the old mower...old faithful, I changed the oil and cleaned the gas tank. It started on the third pull! Now it starts on the first pull! You should see the connection between the plug and that wire! I used it all wrapped around and bare for a few years and it STILL works! SMH. Until it quits I’ll leave it alone. Meanwhile, I’m gonna work on the other one after your instruction! You make it look so easy! LOL THANK YOU!
MY MAN , YOU CAM THRU ONCE AGAIN . THANK,S STEVE , HAVE ONE FOR ME MIKE.
You're Welcome...
Exactly what my mower is doing. I'm going to try your fix and I hope it works... thanks.
Good luck!
I love your videos! They are easy to follow and easy to understand.
Thank you so much!
Steve! You're amazing. Just looked at my Honda gcv 190 (no compression) and the exhaust valve is completely stuck. Thank you for your time and keep doing what you do sir.
Glad it helped!
Hey Steve, you're an inspiration to many. I'd like to get a job with you. 🙂
Wow, thanks
Audience, Steve that's why I subscribed, because I love your class lessons on small engines...
Thank You...
Dude great job done. Info is always easy and spit on.
U the man Steve ,got an old thirty year old Hru 194 I bought for fifty Ozzie dollars been following all your great vids
Right on
thanks to you i.m going to try my hand at fixing lawn mowers I got two of the curb to tinker with I;m retired and have plenty of time Always loved working with my hands
Good luck!
This is great information. I've been trying to fix a Honda HRN216 mower with auto choke for a while now and this has to be the issue. I replaced the thermowax and it didn't do anything. I can't wait to try this.
Right on
"Tickled pink" describes it. I was as pleased watching the video as you were when you freed up that valve. Great video, Steve.
Glad you enjoyed it
Steve you are awesome. Love your videos... I don't have to sign-up and pay money for classes!!!
Glad you like them!
Steve, I totally love your posts. YOU are such a blessing in how you pass on your knowledge of small engine, chainsaw, mower etc maintenance and performance. Also, I had to laugh a good one on your Colt 45. Years ago, that was brewed about 2 minutes away from where I currently live here in Halethorpe, Maryland USA
Wow, thank you!
@@StevesSmallEngineSaloon YOU are quite welcome, Steve. My first experience with youtube was from a person like you when I wanted to learn about lawn mower carbs. I now have learned many things from electronics and tube amp tech, to chainsaws and all manner of automotive diagnosis because of good people like yourself.
@@StevesSmallEngineSaloon Steve's Small Engine Saloon In respect to Chainsaws, I truly absorbed all types of info such as how they are designed to run right, how various factors such as fuel system issues can cause runability problems, or how air leaks and bad seals can spell disaster for the vital engine parts. Learning how to check the various components to ensure optimal performance and to set saws up properly is INVALUABLE. Your basic tech and descriptions of how to diagnose and set up saws is top notch. Thanks
@@StevesSmallEngineSaloon PS. I went from my first chainsaw repair, Poor Running Stihl 026. Having diagnosed and fixed fuel related ( ethanol crap) gooey fuel and impulse lines, fuel filter, carb fixes on my Stihl 026, to now doing total rebuilds of a pair of Stihl 1111- 051 and 075. Before I am done, total overhauls New Top Ends., down to splitting cases and replacing crank bearings, seals, ensuring oiler parts are properly functioning, carb and ignition, exhaust repairs, new flywheels, handles, throttle controls. Final step to be air n vac leak checks. I should definitely learn a lot and have some bad to the bone saws when done.
Now they totally redid the brewery place and it is now brewing Guinness Blonde and they do tours etc
You forgot about the part you did need for this fix. It's "Colt 45". LOL! Excellent video as always!! Thank you, Steve!!!
Good call!
Awesome video Steve!!!
Your channel has taught me so much.
Winter is coming in Winnipeg. Time for snowblower videos!
Thank You...
Nice simple trick, very well explained 👍👍
Thanks for liking
Thank you, Steve. For your awesome video with the detail and you speak slowly. You are an amazing teacher.
I appreciate that!
At 4.00 I thought you were going to reach for your beer not get the vehicle stand. Love your work. Aussie Jeff
Jeff Moore bingo! Tall boys
Thank You...
everyone that knows me always asks if i want a lawn mower they picked from garbage. i always say yes because i take metal to scrap yard if it isnt worth fixing. i bet there was only one mower that wasnt worth it out of all of them and most were all simple carb cleans spark plugs. air cleaners never replaced etc. i have a super front wheel drive honda I picked from the garbage 5 years ago. still runs great. new air cleaner and drained the fuel bowl. thanks for the great videos
Mikes magic saves the day.
Really not magic but it works.
I love that stuff.
Thanks Steve, hadn't thought of that.
Thanks Mike...
Right on Tom...
Great job explaining the no compression issue. Excellent presentation. Thanks...
Thank You...and You're Welcome...
"Bear with me." Then starts on first pull. It's a Honda, Steve. Not a Stihl. :D
Right on Buddy...
Great video as always. Are you not a fan of Stihl ?
@@macsair Not particularly. The rabid fanbase is merely an annoyance. I'm greatful they provide competition for Echo, Husqvarna, and others.
Solid Gold - thanks Steve. Had the exact same problem and I am very grateful for your solution.- the mower had been sitting over winter and started 2nd pull no problem this is probably the 4th time I used it and low and behold had no compression - I lost a lot of time messing around checking spark plug, spark and fuel - I even pulled of the exhaust to see if that was carbon blocked. The mower had run perfectly last week and suddenly just refused to start and after being unable to fix it - I headed inside and decided to see if you had any good advice - as usual you had the solution.
You're Welcome...and Thank You...
That's awesome Steve,your a very smart intelligent person.
Thank You...
Steve that is cool you got the lawn mower running
These videos are great! For a guy like me who does a bit of tinkering, your vids have just the right amount of information. Also, great attitude! Thanks for sharing!
Thank You...and You're Welcome...
Great example. Wonderful information.
