This level of instruction on how to repair machines should be available to high school students-both boys and girls-as a required course...if for no other reason than to teach the value of refurbishing, reengineering and restoration plus how to economize by caring for and repairing what you have currently-instead of throwing it out and buying something new. New is not always better. I absolutely loved this video. Thank you!
Hey man, just wanted to give yah a Shout. I have a Troy 2800 psi. Ran first year but stalled alot when new. Year two would only start with quick start, year three and this year no start. Stored in basement and all parts still seem brand new. Of course I didn’t empty the gas. Followed along and did all your maintance with addition of cleaning the spark plug and changing gas. Started on first pull and ran till gas was empy. Just wanted to say thanks. Nice video man!
Just picked up an 8.75hp off the curb today. Compression reading came back around 30psi but it starts up quickly and sounds great if I use a power drill on the flywheel nut, then sometimes it will start back up with the pull cord. Wondering if the valves need to be adjusted a bit. when running The pump was working perfectly too. Any other ideas? Thanks!
06:18 Maybe they left it outside with the fuel cap off or the lip around the top of the fuel tank caught/held water which then seeped into the tank somehow?? But honestly not sure..

I cleaned the jet holes in the bowl bolt and it worked. Now it runs just fine, thank you!

Thank you! Great video! My machine started right up after adjusting fly wheel gap.
Awesome.. Glad to have helped..
I did everything you did but I forgot to run a wire through the bolt jets. It’s late now, but I’ll try tomorrow and let you know something!
😅 good tip on the bowl gasket did the same thing on a stuck float trying to rush it.
Very much to the point I have one I think it has the same problem
Smart guy! Thank you !

How does water get into the gas?
