    I love how you don’t ignore your dog even though you are working on the mower and making a video. That is beautiful I love people who care for their animals and yes thank you for the information on the lawnmower as well. Much respect!! Keep up the good work!

    I was watching you intently, cos you're a good teacher. but you really had me, when each time your dog brought back the Tugger, and each time you 'played' along and threw it for her. I'm a sucker for people showing kindness,especially so to animals.Thanks for the lesson - and you've got you a new sub.

    Check the fuel cap vent first, and then proceed down the fuel supply / carburetor checklist.
    BTW: I love the way the dog is trying to train it's owner. Good effort!

    your viewers cannot see many of the items you apparently want them to see. While I have no you tube channel nor do I want one, I know good video when I see it. Maybe make sure we can see what you want us to see
    Also maybe a plywood board with white cloth for the carb, etc,. parts for us to see.
    I am learning how to fix my lawn mower using youtube videos and yours helps me learn. You have experience, a dog!, and motivation to put your skills on line. That's great! I tend to return to certain channels and yours is one.

    My mower ran and then kept stopping for no reason.Got a tube of Mechanic in a Bottle from Home Depot and added the correct amount to the gas tank.Fired it up ,held the throttle open with a bungee cord and let it run for 20 mins.Easy peezy.Runs like a brand new machine.

    Your dog reminds me of my old roommates corgi that when i first moved in brought her ball to me so i could toss for her . A day later ended up not liking me because i used my Milwaukee leaf blower to blow away dust. For weeks I would grab the ball and throw it and she wouldn’t budge . Weeks Later on the line i started throwing it and she would go grab it and then go hide it from me . Months later after trying to earn her trust back she finally gave in and brought me the ball to throw and we were friends again . Funny how she would stare at the ball after bringing it close and closer and closer , looking at me for a second to see if i seen it. She was a smart corgi , she would hide the ball and stare at spots she hid them to make us grab it out from under the couch or whatever cuz she knew once we grabbed it from where she hid it , she know we had no choice but to throw it somewhere even if we just tossed it by our feet. She always wanted to play always . Whenever she heard someone say “ball” she ran to look for it. Of course humans after work get tired and arent always in the mood for playing . But she didnt care

    I agree with all the others. A great informative video, I need all the help I can get. Your doggo was cracking me up. He’d drop the rope aways away from you and sit patiently…for awhile, then pick it up and bring it closer cuz, you know, like maybe my human just didn’t notice so I’d be doing him a favor to bring it closer, right? Good job human. If a dog trusts you, then who am I to say different, dogs are pure. They know.

    Mynfriend recently gave me a lawn mower and so I've never actually have had to maintenance on a lawn mower so I am turning to you tube for help. (So grateful for TH-cam and you guys who make these videos)
    Unfortunately the lawn mower would turn off as soon as I started it after filling it with gas, so I was assuming it might need an oil change and perhaps even a tune up too but now worried it might need more maintenance. Ughhhh

    Hey Thank you- Oh man I have two mowers and my Craftsman like yours, that I hope the wheels (about $26 bucks for pair on Amazo)I just bought have teeth that are not that weak to strip out faster than the tread-your tread looked so good compared to mine. My teeth were fine-maybe lube up the bearings/shaft on the drive pinion or sprocket before Install.
    The Honda motor (190cc on my Husqvarna no throttle control) is doing the same thing sputtering and dying so thank you for showing-gives me more ambition when I know what I could run into problem wise.

    It looks like you have a good dog. I like how patient she is further on into the video when you stay focused on the mower...it looked like she was trying to be polite about wanting to play while you were in the middle of something else...she brings the rope back, sets it down, backs off and waits a while...then decides to move it closer and waits again...

    You can`t adjust the float like you said , but that float ends up like that over time,
    Heat the back of the float at the hinge point and bend it back don't over heat, in my day them floats were made from brass or copper ,never had that issue with them, and if they leaked at the seam you could solder them back, cheap shite today

To save time I decided to put oil and fuel and new plug on the other went to start fuel started pouring out the carb I think overflow. I cleaned the carb and jet now not leaking but now stalls. Sheesh. So I assume carb still has an issue. And the other anyone have an experience before I dig in? Both 6.75 self propelled on with the small rear wheels the other with the large ones.

    Possible wrong seat Number or el-cheapo seats made in China... should be a light press fit with the blunt end of a drill bit to seat them. And of course the smooth side of seat faces up when installing. Also this vid is one year old and you know all this by now and this is just for passers by who are unsure. Also looked like the needle was stuck in the carb after the float was taken off... just an observation.
