  • A customers' riding mower in for cutting uneven, a carb cleaning and valve adjustment. And of course a general check up.

    I mean I don't even have a riding mower, and I still can't stop watching... life skills and handy tips in the conversation.

    I like your “official coil gap tool”. Always learn something from watching your videos. Keep up the good work.

    I laughed when you mentioned the dip stick because I forgot about it on mine and sprayed oil everywhere. 😂 .... Great job random 👍

      I did it on a Honda motorcycle once, covered the exhaust and the guys leg with oil in about 4.2 seconds...rofl

    The shroud on that engine incorporates everything I would design into an engine cover! Slots instead of holes for attachment screws, built in air filter housing, slip on O-ring intake attachment - what more could you want? 👍👍👍

    Thanks for the video working on a 2002 LT1000 with the exact same engine mine is surging and won’t idle at low speed. Runs fine under load tried adjusting fuel air mixture to no avail at first I got it to stop surging by adjusting idle speed screw but realized that was not the correct way to do it. Suspect I need to clean the carb after watching your video, learned a lot very intuitive.

    Howdy from West Virginia I reaaly enjoy your videos and I have learned a lot also.
    I have a LT1000 simply the best machine because of it being AYP .
    Have a great day and Happy Memorial Day.

    Nice maintenance on that one. Actually quite a few tasks for maintenance. I noticed you tuned that engine by ear, it must take a while before someone can learn how to do that.

    • @randomwrenching
      @randomwrenching  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      A little while for sure...lol. I pay attention and listen for any pops at low speed (lean), delay in reaching full speed with no black smoke (lean), and delay in reaching full speed with black smoke (rich).

      CTC gas does have ethanol in it now. I have seen it on the pumps myself.

    Nowadays every screw I find loose automatically gets a shot of threadlocker when it goes back in. I figure if it came loose for any reason then I’m going to improve the situation for the next time. Zero Comebacks! 😉
