I'm going to school to be an electrician. I'm so excited to apply my knowledge to other fields. I wondered how a gas generator needed to start without a electricity and I told myself "a sparkplug duh". Then I wondered well how the hell does a spark plug work without a battery? This took me into a searching how the pull start engines work. I knew there was some form of electrical components.
I’m going into ninth grade this coming school year and I didn’t get the class for working on small engines so I’m watching youtube videos and teaching my self
Great video for the basic understanding of a small engine.
I love the channel it's helpful
I use an amazing lawnmower, simple & light. None of that complex stuff, just the engine hard connected to the blade. When it got dull I just took an angle grinder & resharpened the blade myself. Hopefully, this lawnmower lasts forever.
What
It should. Same for everything else, like refrigerators, cars. Simple basic fridges, where freezer is on top, will outlast any expensive $1000-4000 fridges. That's why you see them in all apartments. Same for cars. Anything before 2010 is better than any 2024 models. That's why used cars are nearly the same as a new car. In the military, we do the same thing. Field vehicles have no electronic crap in them. Manual doors, steering, brakes, windows, windshield wipers, switches, gauges. Only thing electronic is the lights & wiring, but those are robustly built to NEVER fail.
Thanks!
if the engine is too cold to run you dont need to be mowing your lawn because its winter -______________-
Linux Jedi it's just an expression
I use it to run over leaves in the fall. Beats bending over and raking them up.
@@TheEgg185 nuuuuuuuuu you are destroying earth!!!
@@mmarvel2003 lol, electric cars for all HAHAHAHAHA
Love Repair Clinic, I just ordered a Toro lawn mower part, thanks for your videos!!!
I was mowing the lawn today and wondered to myself, huh do lawn mowers use Wankle engines? but nope, just turns out they are a single cylinder, i didn't know that
MRGadget's Gaming also had the same thought.
The wankel engine seems to have such an unfinished design compared to the single cylinder. I mean I like the concept, but the problem is how easy it is for the wankel engine to break down compared to most cylinder engines. If a lawn mower were to use a rotary engine, it would be the LiquidPiston's Rotary Engine.
Excellent animation that has to be the best on youtube looks so real and way better and teaches you in a easier way good video
How do the intake and exhaust valves open/close with the right timing?
They are opened by camshafts that are rotated by the engine the camshaft rotates half as much as the piston.
magic
I have to watch this cause its my new chore🙄
Ha!
First time?
Me too our lawn mower broke down and nobody knows how to fix it... guess it's up to me to fix it.
@@AleXander-eo3iz Whats wrong with it?
@@joshuahamberg6765 It just won't start. Gas level is full, oil level is good, but when you pull back the string to crank up the engine it won't start.
My mower idled down and back up repeatedly. I found a weak butterfly spring. Simply adjusted the tension tab that the spring attaches to, and yipeee! Idle became constant and I was "off to the races".
michael sutherlin Thank you for the information.
Wow, I'm mind blown.
I like to see the Need to get further in-depth like with linkage on carburetor and manual or auto governors. With using diagrams of electric and mechanical To show the path on how this lawnmower really works. Cause I have one that won’t start and everything checks out ok without taking the engine apart. It Has compression has spark
Carb getting gas.
I’d like to see more info. If anyone has insight on a 725 series craftsman mower. I’d appreciate it. Thank you
Very important the explain about how to fix the machine
This was a nice video
You're welcome!
We are always happy to help. If you would like to give us a review on Google, we would much appreciate it: g.page/r/CcVUrahZNozMEBM/review
We hope that you have a great day!
Thanks! Now i don't have to empty my pockets and wallet every time my mower breaks down:)
Excellent information.
That's awesome!
is the website prices reasonable?
Me:I knew it! They do use Pistons!
Random Person: Haven't you heard of... *4 STROKE 1 CYLINDER ENGINES*
Me:Maybe?
There’s this two stroke lawnmower I have used and it will only stay on when the choke is on. What does this mean?
I can tell you for $10. US.
The choke, if closed will stop air from flowing into the engine. Without air it won’t run.
Thanks for helping us out
Jake Cook You're welcome!
great video
Wow, great animation! Very nice
We have a blown up briggs and stratton 6 hp push mower engine and it needs a connecting rod.do you know where to find one?
Jacob Wright Did you check our website? Enter your engine model number to view parts
available for your particular model: www.repairclinic.com?TLSID=1773
We have a push lawn mower and it will only mow a few feet at a time then it will stop do you know what is wrong?
That can be a couple different things. We recommend using the repair help section of our website to help figure it out. The system works best if you enter your model number: www.RepairClinic.com/repairhelp?TLSID=1773
Levi Kleinschmidt do you have to keep plugging in the spark plug because that is what happens to me, if so yes I'm new to the mechanic world but if that happens look at the hose or whatever you call it and if it's rusty you need to change it
Clean the carburator
Bro that's my lawn mower Briggs & Stratton 190cc front-wheel drive yayayy
If your blade is dull you can sharpen it. Don't necessarily need to buy a new one
He said you can replace it idiot, he didn't say buy a new one
Do you think a engine could still provide power to the spark plug if the engine spins the wrong way or would you have to change the alternator
fantastic video
my lawn mower, keeps spewing out exhaust and liquid where the oil is inserted. Need help thanks!
That condition is called 'blow-by" and is a sign of worn rings.
And why do you have to do it fast, and sometimes more than once for the engine to start?
I can personally attest to the part about using gas with ethanol. In my area gas has 10% ethanol in it. After years of use it gummed up my system and I had to replace my carburetor. I now use non ethanol fuel only and I noticed a huge difference in performance and starting
I wonder if this also affects zero turn riding mowers.
I need a lot of help.
When you start it can it accelerate by your own or if it can not accelerate can you make it somehow to accelerate? I found 148cc machine and i think to make carting vehicle with my friends is it a good idea, does someone knows?
Nice
Did DR.Phill Changed career? )
Bye💀
It's like a car.Thanks a lot, very clear and professional, just don't get why Louis C.K is doing these tutorial videos...he never mentioned it.
Hahaha! We're happy you enjoyed the videos. We'll tell Louis you liked them.
4:51 If you blade is dull. Just sharpen it with a grinder.
No
@@chriseasley9776 why Not?
Hello can anyone help. I have a 1980s eager 1 craftsman push mower. It runs but you. Have to pull the plug wire. To stop it. The throttle cable seems. Ok. Any help will be thanked many times over.
Marin jean Provost It should have a bail arm or kill switch that will interrupt the ignition system to stop the engine.
Thank you so much I will check those.
Hello again I think I found the problem. You were right. I think it's this plastic piece on the end of the bail arm one end of the throttle cable sits in it. It looked a little worn down on the groove wear the throttle cable sits. And the cable was loosely in there when I held the bar down
Is that something you guys would carry by chance and what would your price be on it. or do think I should replace the hole thing and the cable to. And if so the price for that as well.
Marin jean Provost If you have the model number of the lawnmower we can check if we sell that part. It is probably part of the brake cable.
what should you do if you say accidentally poor gas into where the oil go's?
BlueTarantulaProductions replace the oil
BlueTarantulaProductions say "ah fuck I guess I'm blind" and have some cookies
is there a drain valve
So that entire huge field was mowed with that little push mower....Ha-Aha
What about a riding lawnmower?
+cat vs dog Stay tuned. We are always making more videos.
***** ok
Cool!
Actually the carburetor can be replaced but it often needs to be cleaned!
Great vid except the part about the gas. He says 10% ethanol gas is okay, then says to add a fuel stabilizer when storing for a few months (like thru the winter when your grass isn't growing) so moisture doesn't build up and ruin the gas. Don't do this. So unnecessary. Just use non-ethanol gas. It's the ethanol that causes the moisture.
And also don't store fuel in a shed, when hot the gas can could and can get pressurized and it can shoot fuel out when tipoed to fuel the mower
It has happened and sprays gasoline everywhere.
❤
What app is that
Okay so wtf does the yellow cap lead to??
never tilt your lawn mower on the side !
its okay to just make sure that you tilt it with the carb facing upward and the oil fill is facing down
Rainer Simpelman I've tilted my lawnmower 90 degrees and laid it on its side every time it jammed for years and she still starts every time. Never had a problem but I guess I'm just lucky
Sebas!!!!
I think that safety brake arm is the dumbest thing ever put on a mower, every time you empty the catcher you have to restart the mower.
Thanks youtube ..

Dude.. I'm just here to learn how to turn off a lawn mower
Im a put a big cam in my mower
Hi I have a troy built 3 in one 22 inch self propelled mower ,,,,,,, I have to keep the drive belt handle held down with my left hand to keep it engaged ,,,,,,,, does anyone have any ideas what to look for ,,,,,,,,, AS SOON AS I TAKE MY HAND OF THE HANDLE THE KNOB TURNS BACKWARD LIKE IT ISNT ENGAGED ,TY
riff724 riff724 It sounds like the drive belt may be worn if you have to have the bail arm held all the way down for it to engage the wheels.
this my channel
When I pull on starter chord, nothing happens. Push mower. It is like the whole pulley is locked up. I have safety handle in place. Help.
Corine Pledger O.K. I got it going. Had to work on safety handly. rusty
Corine Pledger Thank you for the information.
_ OK - but title is general. At first I thought this might be about ELECTRIC lawn mowers, but it is about the ancient gas polluters instead.
_ Maybe someone will make a video on how ELECTRIC lawn mowers work and their simplicity - much simpler than gas mowers to maintain and operate.
Should change the title to how does a lawn mower not work. there are more how to fix lawn mower videos on tube than cooking .
