"that jumped off of push rod"? I had one and adjusted valves, 2nd time they ran the machine it slung the rod and almost got someone hurt standing near it! A hole the size of a cross cut 2x4! Did I do something wrong? Set valve lash according to Honda!
I retired from the military and was inspired to start a small engine repair business thanks to Taryl. It’s going great. People are happy with my work and I’m happy to still be serving others. Taryl is one of my heroes. The man is a wealth of knowledge and positivity.
That's awesome brother. Same here now just waiting on the state to process my paperwork. I'm tired of getting the shaft working for the man. Hope business is going well any hip pocket tips?
My Dad mowed the yard up until 1969 and 1970 during this period he taught me how to fix the old 3 and a half horse power Briggs and Stratton 22 inch push mower. Like hammering the shaft back straight and replacing the key after I hit something. By 1970 I was 11 years old and was given the yard mowing forever ! LOL ! Love all your vids Taryl very humorous ,entertaining and educational.
I found a perfect like new engine on a power washer and tried using it on my mower. It worked great except not only when I hit something did it get the timing all screwed up because it had the pointless lgnition, but I found the shaft to bend at the drop of a hat because it was not made as strong as lawn mower crankshaft .
Taryl your videos are awesome I don’t even have lawn equipment that needs fixing but your videos are entertaining and it’s awesome you get to do this with your son! I wish you all the best in life for all the free dinners you give away and laughter for the souls good luck bro
Once again another great video. I'm definitely going to order those sleeves. I really could not justify buying that jig that you used. In the last 15 years I've only had one bent crankshaft and that was one my own mower. The mower was about a month and a half old when my wife did not listen and went out into the yard and tried to mow over top of their decorative rocks that made a pass to the garage. 2 weeks before she bent the shaft she took out the lawn mower blade. And two weeks later she took out the motor. Fortunately I had a good used motor on someone's mower deck that could not be saved. So I have a lawn mower with a brand new body with a 20-year old motor. Like always I enjoyed your video.
Picked up a free mower to get it running. Cleaned carbs and changed gas and oil and it fired up but vibrated violently. I learned in this vid how to check the crank and how to straighten it. I banged so hard with the sledge that it tore out the motor mounts. Gave me a good reason to buy a welder and I welded new steel to the deck and made new solid mounts. After a little spray paint I now have a pretty sweet mower! You guys rock!
I used the hammer method today to successfully straighten a crankshaft on a Honda push mower! Thank you, Taryl!! Also, congratulations to your camera person, who does an outstanding job.
All the small engine repair vedios are generally informative however Taryl your vedios are the best!!!Best in all categories 2nd vedio I watched won't be the last!!!
I've been working on small engines for fun my entire life, I never knew a tool existed to straighten cranks, I've always just replaced them learn something every day.
In truth the device does not "straighten cranks", is straightens the output shaft of the engine. Yes the output shaft is physically connected as an extension of the crankshaft, however, the output shaft is an extension listed separately on most parts breakdown lists. Most engines, with the exception of the small engine such as we are discussing, do not have an output shaft, but rather usually have an output flange of some type.
Hi Taryl. Our small engine teacher in high school never showed us this tool. I watch your videos to learn more than I ever did in high school shop. oh maybe because I was out riding my dirt bike? and chasing girls. Lee from gretna nebraska again. you are the best small engine video on you tube. Thanks
One of the best vids on this site. I’ve scrapped bunches of engines before I learned this trick. I found a really long blade adapter at the scrap yard, and have straightened several cranks now. You da man Taryl 🤟🤟
Another Great Video... Thx ... i had a brand new mower and got it at Sears and i hit a small stump and it was bent so bad it would not start... i took it back to sears repair shop in San Diego and told them what happen and they repaired it in two days and said no CHARGE... i love Sears...
Used the sleeve and magnet method with a Craftsman w/ Briggs engine. Used a socket instead of buying sleeves. Not the space shuttle remember? Worked perfectly. No more excessive vibrations. Thanks so much for the videos!
@@deanguando1335 what size socket did you use? Would wrapping old leather belt around the shaft be effective if I can’t source a sleeve? Thanks shaft on my 6.5 Tecumseh lawnboy.
Taryl… Your videos are not only entertaining but very clear in visual demonstration. Thanks camera guy! You also make your points easily understood and even included safely tips like them boys usta doo at Ford…Safety Is Job #1 Anyhoo… You r my “Go To” guy when I need to be working on my Scrub Cadet V-twin LT-1024 machine. I learnt how to rebuild my carbonator, PTO walrus…I mean seal.. and lots of other snappy things. Thanks brosky. You’ve saved me a lot of shiny nickles fixin’ this jewelster! Keep ‘em rolling and I’ll have me sum Taryl apparel yet! I’ll then bee bragging’ on you!
Steve from Annapolis Maryland keep up the good work it's nice to see somebody that takes the time to save someone a lot of money and has although wonderful tools that nobody cares a use anymore you got my vote keep up the good work
I watch a crapload of utube videos for some time and hands down you are the best you are funny but you are a pro. I own a small engine repair shop in the Napa Valley Calif and repair a load of equipment. I prefer 4 cycle but do it all.Thanks and keep up the good work.
Taryl I had small engine class in high school and thats how the shop teacher showed us, the same way you remove the flywheel. And thats how I still remove a flywheel, hammer & pry bar. Thanks for all the info you share and great videos.
It is a amazingly nice change of pace to be able to watch someone with real knowledge that fixes things correctly I've watched videos upon videos of people doing things wrong telling people its right. Keep up the great work!!!
Hey Taryl, I was a small engine mechanic starting out some 35 years ago and when I started, I was taught to not repair crankshaft because there could be a hairline crack and could brake later If you strike something again it could cause a serious problem, has this changed over the years??? Love your Videos grate work Thanks
Got a bolen mower with a 4hp briggs out the dumpster at work. Looked to be pretty nice compared to my old turd. I ordered a 16 dollar china carb , filter and spark plug kit. Put it all on and fired it up. It shook like crazy and i immediately knew it was bent. About 20 mins in after your video and its a lot better.gonna try a lil more. Thanks for the video sir.
Thank you- Ive seen you remove the entire motor before and straighten it out. Ive bent crankshafts a couple times but not lately- lol just bent the blade because I mow slow.
Hey Pa !!!!! What about using the handle off my floor jack and just push down a little and check it and keep doing that ??? My blade adapter wouldn't come off with my puller, it's on there tight !!!!
I hit something with my push (self propelled) mower and threw out the timing. Like you said it would yank the starter rope out of my hand when I tried to start it ! Also when it kicked back it would spin the bolt loose that holds the blade on and the blade would fall off! I removed the flywheel like you did ( before I saw this video) and was hoping nobody saw me and yell at me for not getting a puller. Lol. I was pleased that you have been doing it that way for years with no issues. When I started watching your videos, I said to myself who is this crazy guy?! But I couldn’t stop watching! Lol. You really know your stuff and make it interesting and enjoyable to watch. Thanks.
My dad taught me and my brothers how to straighten a crankshaft with a hammer like that 40 YEARS ago, and how to get the flywheel off that way too. SOME PEOPLE CRINGE ON THAT,BUT LIKE A LOT OF THINGS I'VE SEEN YOU DO I'VE DONE AS WELL SINCE I WAS AROUND 12 YEARS OLD! AS YOU STATE A LOT OF TIMES,, IT'S NOT THE SPACE SHUTTLE!! things on small engines are not that CRITICAL!! I'm glad you're doing these videos! MAINLY TO SHOW ALL THOSE BY THE BOOK "PROFESSIONALS" that you DON'T NECESSARILY HAVE TO HAVE TONS OF MONEY INVESTED IN ALL THOSE FANCY TOOLS JUST TO WORK ON THINGS!! MANY OF TIMES I'VE USED A DRILL AND A FILE TO TRUE UP A VALVE, I'VE ALSO USED THE SANDPAPER TRICK ON THE SEATS, a lot of the bolts and such DOESN'T HAVE TO BE "TORQUED" yes the head bolts,yes the rod bolts,but some of the other bolts just snugged up,does just fine!!
I learn so much from you. I have a question about a 009 stihl. I replaced my coil and small chip module. I have no spark. I unplug the ignition module I get spark. Was my module bad ? I ordered it on line from a stihl dealer. Not sure how to check it. Maybe you can make a video or maybe I should throw it away and buy new saw.
I appreciate all of the videos that Taryl has made and he does a good job on them. The only thing I would change is the background music which is is the same on all of them. Even though it is low after watching serval videos the music gets old. I would just leave the music out except for special effects and then put in whatever music fits.
My sweet wife was helping with the yard work when I heard a loud clank and silence. I knew the mower was dead. The crank shaft on that twenty year old B&S was so bent the engine locked down. Well nothing to lose so I took the blade off and found the high spot and hit it about as hard as I could with a sledge hammer. I had to do it a few times but now it is going good. I still do not think the tool you have would have helped me. The bottom bolt would keep the shaft from bending inside the engine. I thought it got bent by a lick on one side so a lick on the other side should help. Thanks for your mechanic class.
Dial indicators with magnetic base are about $30 at harbor freight. It will tell you exactly how far the crank is out to .001”. Also I would mark the heigh spot so I get a feel as to how hard I have to hit it to move it a certain amount. Your method is kind of hit and miss but it is effective.
Hey, Taryl, My neighbor bent the crankshaft on his brand new Honda GVC160 lawn mower and when he started it ,it jitterbugged all over the driveway. Well, he took it in to a local repairman and for $50 he re- balanced the blade to compensate for the bent crankshaft and it runs like it did the day he brought it home! Smooth as silk! He also says that it will no longer stress the bearings but when a new blade is needed it will have to be re-balanced. Ever heard of this? It sure beats a $450 new crankshaft installation.
One tip I use on the crankshaft machine, I take a sharpie and make a mark on the sleeve, so I can tell if I over corrected the crankshaft. I ran into that issue when I first started doing them. Hope to see you at GIE this week.
I have a Craftsman M270 lawnmower with the 159 Honda clone engine on it and I noticed that when it was new if I started it and ran it for less than a minute I'd have to let it sit for 5 minutes before it would start for me again. And then about 6 months later it started doing something else where that it would smoke for about 10 seconds when I would start the engine up and then it would go away but it doesn't always do it
Good stuff Taryl thats a fancy little jig you got there. I usually just bash the shaft and grind the mushroom down after its not that bad. Iv been using a lead hammer to get the flywheels off it works great no damage but I think the softness takes away some of the shock so it takes some harder hits. Intresting about the plug holders I didnt know that. I heard having them ungrounded when you turn it over damages the coil I guess thats why they put it there.
I used the first method of hammering down the shaft, but it was severely bent and took a lot of big swings with the 4lb hammer. Now I have oil running out of the bottom of the shaft and some came running onto the deck. Did I ruin the mower?
well I bent the crankshaft on my mower thought I would have to tear it down . But after watching this video I un bent it myself. the mower runs like new again . Love your videos and am going to rebuild my craftsman riding mower .
I have a cub Cadet that when pull starting it will be hard to pull and it will start and run just fine. Not sure a normal person could pull the thing. What could be the problem?
Wow! Like gold you say? I just gave one away a couple years ago to a guy I worked with. Just a magneto, like the Joe Hunt I have for my motorcycle . That's why everyone is getting ' shocked ' by the mystery part. I knew a guy had a couple magneto distributors for Chevy and it was always fun to watch people hold one in their hands checking it out and of course automatic mindless thing was to spin the shaft but when you did that it would shock the piss out of you.
I thought Ronnie was still banned! Great video! Can’t wait for next week new video!

Thanks Taryl that was a good dinner. I notice the lawn mowers in the US are front wheel drive and our ones in the UK are rear wheel drive which is better?
Instead of hitting the crankshaft with a hammer, could you use a small bottle jack under the crankshaft to push up and straighten the crankshaft? I have never straightened a crankshaft. Just wondering if the jack would keep from giving a shock on internal engine parts like a sudden whack with a hammer would.
Is this really straightening the steel crank or is it "modifying" the crank bearings? I wonder....perhaps a combination of the two. Looks like that crank seal is leaking as a result of the bent crank not running true inside of the seal.
love it...subbed.....you taught me one new thing....using a air hammer to pull a pulley...just wondering why you didnt use it to pull the flywheel instead of the sledge.

Still laughing about the mower from the nudist colony. Funny as hell.

do those expensive sleeves retain their roundness very well? If the sleeve gets out of round , i guess one coukd guage off the center screw.
I`ve heard of straightening a crank but never seen it done. Interesting video. Thanks for sharing.

Can't stop watching your videos
You can use a dial indicator to actually show how much the shaft is bent. If enough time is spent the shaft can be bent back perfect
Thank you- Ive seen you remove the entire motor before and straighten it out. Ive bent crankshafts a couple times but not lately- lol just bent the blade because I mow slow.

I'm learning so much,I might not ever use everything I've learned but its always good to learn stuff. And there your dinner!
Thanks for another funny and informative video Taryl. The wife and I both enjoy them.
that is pretty cool taryl--yeaaaa.
i have neverr seen anything like that--prettyyy cool
Dial indicators with magnetic base are about $30 at harbor freight. It will tell you exactly how far the crank is out to .001”. Also I would mark the heigh spot so I get a feel as to how hard I have to hit it to move it a certain amount. Your method is kind of hit and miss but it is effective.
I tried your fly wheel removal method it works great
I have been binge watching your videos for a few days now and I"M IN TEARS LMAO when you intentionally hit something to bend the crankshaft!!!!!!!!
Wiss said vary funny. Thanks for showing us the way to get them straight up .good class .
Thank you for another entertaining video.
Great video, I don't own a lawnmower yet enjoy seeing small engines worked on
Nothing like Quality Parts from your local Wisconsin engine dealer...🏃💨___👻🎃💀(Taryl and Junior doing the"TWO STROKE"🏃💨)HAHAHA!!.

"They're hittin' stuff all the time over there."
Too funny.
T....you are nuthin short of AMAZIN!!!!!
Good stuff Taryl thats a fancy little jig you got there. I usually just bash the shaft and grind the mushroom down after its not that bad. Iv been using a lead hammer to get the flywheels off it works great no damage but I think the softness takes away some of the shock so it takes some harder hits. Intresting about the plug holders I didnt know that. I heard having them ungrounded when you turn it over damages the coil I guess thats why they put it there.
Thanks Daryl, fixed lawnmower cuz of your show. Can u do a show comparing 2 machines side by side, pros and cons? Keep up the good e pisodes😉
"Bent cranks" in nudist camp 🤭
I used the first method of hammering down the shaft, but it was severely bent and took a lot of big swings with the 4lb hammer. Now I have oil running out of the bottom of the shaft and some came running onto the deck. Did I ruin the mower?
Bent shafts at the campground ⛺️😂😂😂!!!! Thank you Taryl !!! Ur a treasure trove of information!!!
Hey taryl I have a push mower with a gcv160 Honda auto choke motor and when I pull the rope on it I hear like a knocking sound what could that be?
You're a god of comedy!
How do you handle it when the slot in the end of the crankshaft , where the key goes, is damaged?
well I bent the crankshaft on my mower thought I would have to tear it down . But after watching this video I un bent it myself. the mower runs like new again . Love your videos and am going to rebuild my craftsman riding mower .
Another great video! Humor that is right up my alley.
Outstanding video.
I have a cub Cadet that when pull starting it will be hard to pull and it will start and run just fine. Not sure a normal person could pull the thing. What could be the problem?
Wow! Like gold you say?
I just gave one away a couple years ago to a guy I worked with. Just a magneto, like the Joe Hunt I have for my motorcycle .
That's why everyone is getting
' shocked ' by the mystery part.
I knew a guy had a couple magneto distributors for Chevy and it was always fun to watch people hold one in their hands checking it out and of course automatic mindless thing was to spin the shaft but when you did that it would shock the piss out of you.
Hey Taryl, I'm a washed up actor thinking of getting into small engine repair, got any openings?
OMG - Funny as hell man! informative too. Love your work.
You guys crack me up
I thought Ronnie was still banned! Great video! Can’t wait for next week new video!
Thanks Taryl that was a good dinner. I notice the lawn mowers in the US are front wheel drive and our ones in the UK are rear wheel drive which is better?
Rear wheel, they don't bounce if your lawn isn't flat. Makes a smoother looking cut.
My one only works if the height adjust is high the wheels slips on low.
Actually we have both type over here. Just depends on the brand and model.
Rear- cause otherwise every time you lift the front to turn you lose forward power , and the front is heavier
Instead of hitting the crankshaft with a hammer, could you use a small bottle jack under the crankshaft to push up and straighten the crankshaft? I have never straightened a crankshaft. Just wondering if the jack would keep from giving a shock on internal engine parts like a sudden whack with a hammer would.
Does that procedure can be done in a raider?
What about if the axle is a kind of loose and not tight. It is about some 3 millemeters that are left and right. Can you fix that?
That was a greaat DINNER!! Thanks
U guys give the best entertainment evuh! why tho do u call a magneto from a Wisconsin
engine an ignition module?
Great video! You make very interesting videos
Taryl your videos always make me laugh....and the repairs Aint bad either
Is this really straightening the steel crank or is it "modifying" the crank bearings? I wonder....perhaps a combination of the two. Looks like that crank seal is leaking as a result of the bent crank not running true inside of the seal.
DON'T KNOW HOW YOU DO IT. BUT MAN ARE YOU GOOD LOVE YOUR VIDS. THANK YOU.
Great video Taryl!
love it...subbed.....you taught me one new thing....using a air hammer to pull a pulley...just wondering why you didnt use it to pull the flywheel instead of the sledge.
