Please find someone to help u edit videos, dont care about slippers, dont care about ur previous camera trouble just looking for good quick to the point video on why ky mowers not working
Step one is accomplished, now on to step 2. I would have guessed the same issue. There is a possibility that that exhaust valve has a burn spot on it as a result of it not closing properly for a period of time. Looking forward to the next episode!
Old school tradesmen, still some of the best 👍 Start with the most likely cause and go from there, When you finish with the job, it should look like someone with good work ethics worked on it, clean the area around it, 👍 Great video ! Thanks for sharing 🙏
Honda states to replace the valve cover any time valve service is required. Those covers are not intended to be reused except on the commercial grade mowers.
@@BrucesShop I am also. My concern if I work on someone else's equipment is possible leakage. I do admit, I could have opened my own business by now, I did have the local shop offer to sell to me last summer, I know he wants out. My problem is I am too old to be starting a business. I worked full time for the public schools and part time for a friend in his small engine shop. I found out he retired this spring also. I do not blame him however. He was pretty busy all the time. I just happened to walk into his business one day and next thing I knew, I was working 4 hours a day for him. I still get offered to help the local shops get " caught up" every spring but can only do 1/4 of what I used to due to my health.
I think it is the spark timing look at the blade for chips first unless it has carbon build up on the exhaust valve that needs to be lapped or the carburetor needs it or fuel filters.
How's she goin'? I thought you had it there Bruce, but I guess not. Of course I saw where this was part 1 so that sort of told be it might not be the real problem!!! Heading to look at part 2 now for the continuing story of 'the little mower that wouldn't'!!! Take care!!!
Yeah I'm wondering about timing belt or even maybe more simply the flywheel key might be sheared or partially sheared. Or even the ignition unit have made a total fool of me before with ignition units when they half-assed work. It's really nice when they either don't work or they do work but when they in between oh my God they can send you looking for parts Unknown
Looking forward to part 2 Bruce I'm interested to see what you find out what's causing it I have a theory but I want to see what you come up with first in part 2.
Bodywork 101. I like my Sony HDR-CX380 HandyCam. It has the capability of using a remote microphone. The only thing I would like to upgrade to would be remote control.
Maybe when the valve cover got hit it made the timing belt slip...Do the Space Shuttle Mechanics say....We have to do a better job than those lawn mower mechanics do!!!!!
WOW. It's a weird one. I thought you were on the right track Bruce. Maybe the flywheel key is slightly sheared. I've had that happen on Tecumseh engines before
Without watching both videos I'm going to take a guess at a fouled spark plug...most of the time it runs rich because of issues with fuel delivery system but also fouled spark plug can cause it to misfire and build up too much unburned fuel resulting in the mower running too rich...
This is such a busy time of year for me. Sorry Bill. Mowers, Tillers the rest, Videos, Editing, comments and emails. That alone takes me till noon everyday. Don't get me wrong i love it and I think people like to here their comments replied to.

Well every time someone suggests about video quality I see if they have produced a video. You have not. Give it a try sir. I will watch
The valve cover turned out great.Ijust love watching your videos
I like stuff like that.
Nice job on the valve cover! Now on to part 2. :)

Great video Bruce! I learn something new every time! Also am quite excited and can’t wait for part 3 and 4 of multiple mowers 🙃
When I saw the slippers I thought I was on Taryl Dactyl's channel. Lol.
Once in a while I slip out to start a video to "Get me going on it"
Old school tradesmen, still some of the best 👍
Start with the most likely cause and go from there,

Great video ! Thanks for sharing 🙏
Well thanks so much
I like the procedures you follow . Basic trouble shooting . I need a pair of those slippers .
Yes they help LOL.
I'm with you so far Bruce...now onto part 2
When you showed the valve clearance around 13:50 on the computer, you showed the specs for a gx160, the engine you are working on is a gcv160.
I just checked again and the spec are the same for both.
@@BrucesShop just wanted to let you know
Like seeing your dog Bruce, old dogs are the best !
We just look after him once in a while. That is the BEST.
Liked the "hammer-mill" effect, when you did the fast forward. On to the next episode!
I think the carburetor has an internal fuel leak. Could be a needle and or seat or float level out.
We will see.

I get that (use the same one) but it didn't leak. Thanks for keeping me honest. Remember I am a" Backyard Small Engine Mechanic"

Your the Honda Dr there Bruce as always a great job my Canadian brother 😀😀
Thanks EH!!!!!
@@BrucesShop your welcome eh!!!!
Wow I wish I would have checked for that condition in the past instead of selling parts mowers that smoke with the same engine.

I almost passed out Bruce doesn’t have his coveralls on! What has happened to the universe?
Yes they are getting old and I can't find replacements like them

Thanks Mr. Wrenches.

Remember that Morton Thiokol, maker of the solid rocket booster, used rubber *O* rings to connect the sections of the engine.
Your the man Bruce.

Part 2 is the solution (as always) lol. To be honest i missed it.
@@BrucesShop I will tune in to part 2

Well you are right on the fuel delivery part.
Maybe it is my eyes but is there a plastic protective film over the lens? Out of focus?
Probably dried carb spray lol
Hey, those slippers Minnetonkas? I wear 'em all the time! lol
They might be.
Maybe something with the choke?
I was hoping to see the 'new' jack stands.

You're right Bruce - it is nice to get a reply. I certainly understand the time involved. Be well.
Smokes like a B-52 bomber

I googled Honda valve clearance specs and got this
