Thanks for the video took my Husqvarna lawn tractor lgt2654 to a local small engine mechanic for this exact problem and he talk all around fixing the crank case seal and sump gasket and said it would be a long term job and claim he would have to pull the deck off lawn mower and to take engine off that was a red flag for me right there when he said that had already watch your video several times so I order the exact parts u showed and even order valve cover gasket pulled engine off today done exact steps u said do put everything back together and no more oil leaks and runs like a charm fired up first turn of key thanks again!
With your help I recently replaced the sump gasket, governor and oil seal on a V-Twin and it all seems to be working fine now. I wouldn't have attempted this job without a good video to learn from. Thank you so much!
Thanks! I just finished changing the sump gasket and seal on an otherwise perfect Craftsman PYT9000 that I picked up for only $20! Oil was leaking like crazy and the mower smoked after a couple minutes. I watched your video like 20 times while I did the job. Turned out great. No leaks. The old gasket was all crumbled and hard. You're the best!
Even though this video is 5 years old as I write this, it was a fantastic help. I noticed a couple of things on my 17-year-old V-Twin. 1. The threads had a slight pull in the block, and adding a chamfer will eliminate this. 2. The castings (both) had sharp internal edges, that could lead to gasket failure. Again, chamfering or softening the internal edges will reduce stress points and possible failure. Keep'r between the ditches!
Just wanted to say thanks for showing us how to do this Taryl. I have this exact mower and had a serious oil leak and no idea what to do about it. I'm a relatively green mechanic but your 'how to' film spelled it out so clearly even I could do it. Took me 3 days on and off and had to watch your video many times. Only problems I encountered were the 4 engine bolts and clutch spindle were very tight. I fixed this by cutting the end off a metal hoe to extend my socket's leverage. I also needed to lock the engine when removing the clutch spindle by stuffing 3' of clothes line into the spark plug hole. Had a bit of a tussle too refitting the sump cover, couldn't quite get it to fit - had a 1/4" gap. I eventually sussed out the 2 dowels weren't lined up perfectly, then it dropped in. Your explanation of how to set the governor was first class, and she fired up first time. Many thanks Taryl from the UK.
I just completed this operation and this vid helped a lot! My engine had a different oil pump gasket (flat) and an automatic choke. Other than that it was the same inside with the gasket failied along the long edge. The most difficult part was removing the pulley. I had to fabricate a puller from a steel plate and three long bolts to fit the holes in the pulley. I did not replace the crank seal but had to guide it past the crank with an awl. No more leak!
I ordered the gasket and seal today from ebay. You were recommended by someone there who has the same problem as the rest of us. Thank you so much for dinner!! :)
Got er done and no leaks! I did have a problem while it was upside down. Seems the crankshaft will slide down( up when it's upside down) and then the cover won't drop. I had to slide the crank gear up and realign the timing marks. Eventually it went together. Evidently you're not supposed to stand them right on their tops. No harm done, just a little extra work. Thanks again for the video! It was a tremendous help!! Now for some dinner!!
Thanks Taryl and the Grass Rats Crew!! I had the exact same issue with this motor and this was the best video I found to show how to fix the issue. Including the part numbers needed. Love watching Taryl's videos and my wife loves Taryl's 'Service Bulletin Classics'. She's not a beer drinker, but if she was, she would want a Hamm's thanks to Taryl.
I cant believe how good that motor sound for being 11 years old!! Taryl I thank you do a awesom Job of showing us ur skill and Knowledge!! Thank u for sharing with us? PS I try to watch all of ur videos!!, and I have learned a lot from u, thank's again . I hope God bless u and ur Business because with out him we are nothing?
Back in the day we used the playing card trick. From a deck of cards, place one card around the shaft, then slide the seal on over the card, then pull the card out, and seal lip in place, Thanks for all your videos, They help, Shane Arnold
This was an awesome instructional video. Engine was leaking from the gasket right by the oil filter, Followed you video and replace gasket and seal without issue, engine back on mower and running. Gonna use your other video to replace valve cover gasket also. I also love that you give great tips along the way "watch our for...." & "be careful of..." Excellent job guys!!! (by the way, the oil drain valve was loose)
Great video. My sump gasket was leaking, looked this video up , ordered the parts and repaired it . I too rolled the seal but Taryl showed me how to fix it.
I watched and rewatched (x5 slow learner )your video on the B&S sump gasket repair, because you detailed the correct way to adjust the governor after the gasket had been installed. The governor gear had failed and I had purchased a new gear and washer for the motor. The new governor gear did not survive the restart of the motor. Upon the disassembled I found the new gear completely destroyed. I thought maybe i hadn't followed your instructions about moving the governor control arm up inside the sump when reassembling the motor. I again reassembled the motor with a new governor gear and washer. This one survived the restart at half throttle, but when advanced to full throttle again ran away and destroyed the gear assembly. I disassembled the motor again and after checking all the dowels that position the gasket on the crankcase, realized that the pin for the governor also was a dowel. (I thought) I grabbed it and it came out of the case. I checked it and it had a few scuff marks on it. I figured that it would just be easier to order a new pin to install. Imagine my surprise when I found that there isn't a replacement pin offered by B&S. After more research on the subject I found out that the pin is actually pressed into the case. If the steel governor gear spinning around the steel pin wears or gets galled by heat or lack of lubrication it will seize onto the pin or destroy itself. If it seizes onto the pin and spins the steel pin in the aluminum casting, then B&S considers the case ruined and a throw away. After watching several of your detailed videos about b&s and Kohler engines, I figured that this is a subject that you might want to make a video about. I've researched this a bit and it isn't uncommon for this to happen on older B&S -twin engines. It might save someone (like me) a lot of time and money if part of the inspection upon the disassembled included a check of the pin. It would have saved me at least $100 in parts, shipping, fluids and filters had I known to check that one little steel shaft first. I did see that one other TH-camr had made a video detailing a fix using JB weld to hold the steel pin for the governor gear. If U have a better solution maybe U should include it in a repair video update about governor gears on B&S v-twin engines. Love the costumes, the movies , but especially the detail and clearly and slowly defined way of explaining the disassembly and reassembly of what U are working on. Six thumbs up!!! "There's your dinner!"
I have the same issue with the governor gear failing after seizing on the governor gear shaft and found this channel looking for answers. I'd love to see a video from Taryl on it!
same problem here... governor detonated.... If I have to guess it was because the throttle cable was misadjusted causing it to over-rev on start of boom... I dont know for sure though. Putting a new governor in tomorrow...
Bless you Taryl !! I took on a 24hp Intek sump gasket for the first time. I was losing a pint an hour and everything was a mess on top of a mess. It took me quite a while but after torqueing the sump down I flipped the motor and heard a distinct Rattle inside. HUH? Oh well, I mounted it back up and it ran great until I noticed the oil pressure light was lit. I had NO idea what to do next until I watched this video. Thank you for including the oil pump shaft explanation. I found mine rolling around next to the crank it had fallen out. And of course my guide pin fell in. Put everything back and everything was great, running, oil pressure, then it caught fire right behind the muffler. I am hoping it was just some of the oily mess I created. I got my Dinner!! I had better luck with the PTO seal by putting it on last after I set the sump, then I tapped it home using the old seal to counter sink it. The first time I installed it on the sump first & my spring came out also.
Thanks for the informative video. I inherited a 24hp Briggs mower completely covered in oil. After cleaning up and running it for a few minutes it was obvious the leak was just as you found - blown gasket. Thanks to you I have the confidence to dive in and repair. You saved us $$$. Thanks.
Thank you for your video. I used it last week to replace the oil pan gasket and shaft seal on my mower. It was very helpful (and entertaining). A tip I would add for others using the video for reference would be to consider also changing the governor shaft seal and the oil pump o-ring while you've got the pan off. The parts are cheap enough...
Bam!!! There's your dinner! You reminded me to check the oil drain plug. Thanks for the tip. That oil plug being loose is scary for sure. I have a friend that blew an engine on his zero turn because of no oil and another friend and I wondered how the heck did that happen. I bet that the drain plug fell out and my friend didn't even check the dipstick. Oh well it still happened.
I just did this repair, my oil drain plug was Waaaay loose. I put a wrench to it. As a matter of fact every bolt on the motor and frame was loose after 400 hours.
This was an excellent video. I had some issues doing the repair but when I revised your video I got all the answers I needed. Thanks so much for doing this. The humour is not my kind however.
Did this exact repair on my Craftsman Lawn Tractor although I think my PTO seal was leaking the most oil. Everything turned out great thanks to your video and tips. And you're funny as hell! Thanks and keep 'em coming.
Great video, made my repair quick. Ordered all the parts on Amazon had them next day. Had the whole thing done and power washed in 3 hrs. Even changed plugs and the air filter while I was at it.
Worth a like and sub. Thanks for putting this out there. Deff something I should have watched first before I didn't take my oil pump apart and the shaft fell in and broke my camshaft after reassembly.
These videos just keep getting better and better. Haven't seen those Batman and Robin shows for 45 years. Adam West as I remember. Can't remember who played Robin. (And I learned about a small engine.)
I change my oil drains to the old steel pipe you can get for a few bucks at the hardware store. It stays tight and never leaks or cracks. The oil drains faster and more completely without running back and dripping. Great video as always! I like that you show that repair is simple if you're careful and informed. Thank you.
Thanks for the video. I'm back up and running thanks to you and this great video. Also I would add a note for everyone to pressure was the engine first. And to also remove there oil filter before tipping everything over. Because although mine was drained. The oil in the filter flooded my air filter and carb. Took me a long time to clean all that out.
Taryl,.... to keep the spring from coming off the crank seal, pack the the underside where the spring is with wheel bearing grease. Great videos! Thank you for the help!
I just wanted to say thanks for the video. My intek is newer than the model in the video so there were a few things different but it was a big help, especially the governor setup. I actually had to keep redoing it because somehow i kept getting it wrong. The seal change out was also helpful. Thanks again!
Thanks for the visuals. Had some odd things happen when I hooked the linkages back up. I could only get a super low rpm. I left the cables hooked up when I pulled the engine. Anyway, I took things off and double checked, fixed the issue. Only thing I've got left to figure out is the mower is hunting both at idle and under load. I didn't touch the carburetor. Might try and put some fuel additive in and see. Thanks again for this!
Taryl thanks for a great video. My mower was leaking oil and I thought it was the sending unit beside the oil filter. When that didn't fix it I came to youtube and found your video. I tore it down today and sure enough about three inches of gasket was gone right beside the filter. My mower ( 52" bobcat) is 14 years old now. I will make it through this season and I may upgrade to a new engine before next year. The bobcat has a little over 900 hrs but everything else is still solid. It has an 18 hp on it now. I may go to a 24hp. Thanks for a great video. Nice teeth!!!! lmao
Last fall (2023) I got a 'free' 54 inch zero turn mower from a scrapper. It was "junk" because it had had a gas fire and melted everything plastic on the mower, including the carb float. I stripped it down of all plastic, including the manifold , spritzed a bit of starter fluid at it and it fired up. Knowing it was a 2008 mower but only having 295 hours on it, I proceeded to round up parts(used off ebay if possible) . After a lot of clean up , new belts and a few deck parts, it started , ran and mowed great. but almost immediately started leaking oil. I looked on line and find these engines had problems with that gasket, so I watched 2 or 3 videos on replacing it. NONE of them mentioned the important parts, like governor linkage adjustment. THEN, I find this video. I pulled the engine and find the gasket is sucked in on both sides. Currently waiting for my gasket set so I can finish this job up and get to mowing with a "free" zero turn, that I will have about $350 dollars invested in. Thanks for covering the important points on this repair!
VERY GOOD VIDEO ! IT JUST SO HAPPENS WE HAVE THE SAME ENGINE IN OUR LAWN MOWER ! THERE IS A SMALL OIL LEAK BUT JUST COULDN'T SEE IT ! THIS WOULD HAVE TO BE A WINTER JOB AS THE GRASS IS A GROWING RIGHT NOW ! OH AND GREAT OUTFITS !
this video was very helpful, especially the part about setting the governor. One thing that could be added to this (and other videos) is how to take the drive/mower pulley off the crankshaft. I had to do a search to find a trick where you stuff a few inches of cotton rope in the cylinder, through the spark plug hole, to stop the crank from spinning while you remove the bolt holding the pulley. Other than that, awesome video. Thanks so much.
Taryl, I never comment on anything so it is rare for me to pay someone a compliment. "Fluffy" caused the old "pushrod in the oilpan because of a stupid nest on #1" thing. I was going to just leave it in the pan but too many people said not to ......so after ripping it all apart I woke up today to start exactly what this video covers. I am so glad that I looked to see if you had a "how to" on this event because my confidence level is now where it needs to be.....I would have screwed up the oil pump and governor installs fer sur. Your videos are well-filmed and your specifics on part ordering and recommended items are exactly what we "shade-tree" folks need. Listening to your instructions makes me feel like I am back in a DOD mechanics course with the Gunny. One philosophical question for you.....after watching one of your more recent vids on how newer mowers are all trending towards being "crappy"....what are we going to do in the future? My plan is to buy whatever is on sale, make sure I get the 3-year warrantee, and then junk it before I have to start spending every weekend doing 6hrs maint to get 1 hour of grass cut. It's worse than owning an AMC Harley Davidson. Maybe you could start your own production line?
Thanks for the great video. You're crazy but you know your stuff. I followed your video and had repair done and mower running same day. Looked at floor this morning and no oil on the floor. Keep up the good work.
This video was very helpful and allowed me to replace the head on my B&S V-twin Engine on my John Deere 425 :) and recover my valve rod (push rod exhaust) from the Sump :)
Great Video as always guys. Didn't know when we spoke on the phone I was talking to Briggs Whine AKA Blademan. LOL Was good talking to you Taryl thanks for the time, I know your busy
I had to take my 3 yr old Husky motor apart because the governor blew, found all the pieces plus a small pile of chips in the sump, amazed to find there was NO GASKET except for a very light coating of sealant between the sump and motor. New gasket is the new style too, with wider sections at known leak points.
Great work and explains things very well . I only wish he cleaned up the engines a big more . I tore my 22hp briggs down to change this gasket and cleaned it so good , it like it came from the factory !! just a little TLC .
YOU GUYS ARE KILLING ME LMFAO i realy like the way you work you do the job like i would do iv worked in a profishional auto machine shop and i have to say we did a lot of clowning around to it helps becouse some of the people you fix things for are the most thankless people iv ever met and there are some nice ones to i like it GOOD VIDEO I GIVE THIS VIDEO A 10 STAR RATTING GOOD JOB BOYS
Great video, as usual. My BS V-twin leaks at the same gasket and I assumed it would require a full tear down, but it’s not half as bad as that. Looks as if I should be able to finish it in an afternoon or weekend with your tips. I only wish I had a Koehler or Kawasaki instead, because any time I repair a BS engine the result still leaves me with one of their junk engines.
WOW, I had a bad day, ,,,,, this made it worth it, thanks guys fantastic,, loved the talent & production ,,, great job, watched over three times, still laughing ,,, u guys ROCK! kodi
Awesome video!! Thanks for taking the time to make it and for sharing it! If I had one question it would be : why didn't you replace the governor seal while you had it apart?
When you install that seal, use a piece of plastic soda bottle wrapped around the crankshaft, so that it comes out about 3 inches or so past the end of the crankshaft. Lube it up and use it to guide that seal on its way down. That way it doesn't hang up on the end of the crank and pop that spring
Glad you specified going against the arrow when holding the governor and seating the cover. I saw another one of your videos where you replaced the cam and didn't specify that. It seemed like in that video you were saying to turn it toward the arrow and not away. Might want to add that in print or something on that video.
After doing this job and adjusting the governor, I noticed the shaft wouldn't turn left or right after loosening the nut. Is this an indicator the governor is blown? The only way to control the throttle is on the carb.
Man your videos are extra goofy 🙃 but boy I tell you what I like watching you work!! Very helpful man. And you’re very smart dude I can tell. hope you have much more success in the future brother
Thank you Taryl, I have a 4 year old tractor that all of a sudden leaked a river of oil after changing this spring 2020. I couldn't figure it out. Today I stopped mowing after smelling burning oil and sure enough, it's leaking but I could not figure where from. It seems to be above the filter. Now, after watching your video I understand. My sump gasket has to be broken above the filter. I'm guessing every time I change my oil it pulls the gasket out more and more. When I changed the oil in the spring I also added a street pipe to the oil drain because the drain valve was loose. This all does anger me though. I expected better from B&S
Thanks for the video took my Husqvarna lawn tractor lgt2654 to a local small engine mechanic for this exact problem and he talk all around fixing the crank case seal and sump gasket and said it would be a long term job and claim he would have to pull the deck off lawn mower and to take engine off that was a red flag for me right there when he said that had already watch your video several times so I order the exact parts u showed and even order valve cover gasket pulled engine off today done exact steps u said do put everything back together and no more oil leaks and runs like a charm fired up first turn of key thanks again!

Great video. My sump gasket was leaking, looked this video up , ordered the parts and repaired it . I too rolled the seal but Taryl showed me how to fix it.
I had the oil leak and thanks to Taryl I fixed it... I Never worked on a small engine before...Thanks
jakesd9 and there's Yur dinner!!
Thank you Taryl. You just saved me so much grief doing this for the 1st time, . I ordered a sweatshirt to support you.

Hey Taryl just finished replacing my sump gasket. The job went perfectly thanks to your awesome instruction. You are the F'ing best!!!!
Thank you for the time to make this video. I got my rider up and running. Thank u
Bless you Taryl !! I took on a 24hp Intek sump gasket for the first time. I was losing a pint an hour and everything was a mess on top of a mess. It took me quite a while but after torqueing the sump down I flipped the motor and heard a distinct Rattle inside. HUH? Oh well, I mounted it back up and it ran great until I noticed the oil pressure light was lit. I had NO idea what to do next until I watched this video. Thank you for including the oil pump shaft explanation. I found mine rolling around next to the crank it had fallen out. And of course my guide pin fell in. Put everything back and everything was great, running, oil pressure, then it caught fire right behind the muffler. I am hoping it was just some of the oily mess I created. I got my Dinner!! I had better luck with the PTO seal by putting it on last after I set the sump, then I tapped it home using the old seal to counter sink it. The first time I installed it on the sump first & my spring came out also.
Mine held up 12 years ! Thanks blade man !
Thanks for the informative video. I inherited a 24hp Briggs mower completely covered in oil. After cleaning up and running it for a few minutes it was obvious the leak was just as you found - blown gasket. Thanks to you I have the confidence to dive in and repair. You saved us $$$. Thanks.
Thank you for your video. I used it last week to replace the oil pan gasket and shaft seal on my mower. It was very helpful (and entertaining). A tip I would add for others using the video for reference would be to consider also changing the governor shaft seal and the oil pump o-ring while you've got the pan off. The parts are cheap enough...
Blademan and Throttle chasing the Choker.That's original Tayrl!!.
Bam!!! There's your dinner! You reminded me to check the oil drain plug. Thanks for the tip. That oil plug being loose is scary for sure. I have a friend that blew an engine on his zero turn because of no oil and another friend and I wondered how the heck did that happen. I bet that the drain plug fell out and my friend didn't even check the dipstick. Oh well it still happened.
I just did this repair, my oil drain plug was Waaaay loose. I put a wrench to it. As a matter of fact every bolt on the motor and frame was loose after 400 hours.
Good thing you learned this.
This was an excellent video. I had some issues doing the repair but when I revised your video I got all the answers I needed. Thanks so much for doing this. The humour is not my kind however.
Did this exact repair on my Craftsman Lawn Tractor although I think my PTO seal was leaking the most oil. Everything turned out great thanks to your video and tips. And you're funny as hell! Thanks and keep 'em coming.
Great video, made my repair quick. Ordered all the parts on Amazon had them next day. Had the whole thing done and power washed in 3 hrs. Even changed plugs and the air filter while I was at it.
Worth a like and sub. Thanks for putting this out there. Deff something I should have watched first before I didn't take my oil pump apart and the shaft fell in and broke my camshaft after reassembly.
These videos just keep getting better and better. Haven't seen those Batman and Robin shows for 45 years. Adam West as I remember. Can't remember who played Robin. (And I learned about a small engine.)
thanks Taryl your video's are always spot on. I would like for you give what this would cost a customer.
Thank you for all the good specific details and the humor as well. I learned a lot!
I change my oil drains to the old steel pipe you can get for a few bucks at the hardware store. It stays tight and never leaks or cracks. The oil drains faster and more completely without running back and dripping. Great video as always! I like that you show that repair is simple if you're careful and informed. Thank you.
Thanks for the video. I'm back up and running thanks to you and this great video.
Also I would add a note for everyone to pressure was the engine first. And to also remove there oil filter before tipping everything over. Because although mine was drained. The oil in the filter flooded my air filter and carb. Took me a long time to clean all that out.
Thanks for the help with the governor adjustment. Leak is gone and it runs great.
Taryl,.... to keep the spring from coming off the crank seal, pack the the underside where the spring is with wheel bearing grease. Great videos! Thank you for the help!
4 hours, start to finish, with 2 coffee breaks. Way easier than you think. Thanks, of course, to Taryl.
Your how to videos are gold.
This video was very informative and professional. Everything I needed to know. Thanks T-dawg!
I just wanted to say thanks for the video. My intek is newer than the model in the video so there were a few things different but it was a big help, especially the governor setup. I actually had to keep redoing it because somehow i kept getting it wrong. The seal change out was also helpful. Thanks again!
After watching your video my 22hp v-twin start leaking :) . I got my parts today ready to put it together tomorrow.
Great video , thank you T.
Be careful cleaning off the old gasket, I ended up wearing gloves. The mating surface edges are razor sharp!
+sixty9harley thank you for a tip
Another great video by Taryl and his team.Keep em coming guys !!!
Thanks for the visuals. Had some odd things happen when I hooked the linkages back up. I could only get a super low rpm. I left the cables hooked up when I pulled the engine. Anyway, I took things off and double checked, fixed the issue. Only thing I've got left to figure out is the mower is hunting both at idle and under load. I didn't touch the carburetor. Might try and put some fuel additive in and see. Thanks again for this!
Taryl thanks for a great video. My mower was leaking oil and I thought it was the sending unit beside the oil filter. When that didn't fix it I came to youtube and found your video. I tore it down today and sure enough about three inches of gasket was gone right beside the filter. My mower ( 52" bobcat) is 14 years old now. I will make it through this season and I may upgrade to a new engine before next year. The bobcat has a little over 900 hrs but everything else is still solid. It has an 18 hp on it now. I may go to a 24hp. Thanks for a great video. Nice teeth!!!! lmao
If you can laugh, cry and pray all under 30 minutes, then thats quality ennerr'tainment.
Last fall (2023) I got a 'free' 54 inch zero turn mower from a scrapper. It was "junk" because it had had a gas fire and melted everything plastic on the mower, including the carb float.
I stripped it down of all plastic, including the manifold , spritzed a bit of starter fluid at it and it fired up.
Knowing it was a 2008 mower but only having 295 hours on it, I proceeded to round up parts(used off ebay if possible) . After a lot of clean up , new belts and a few deck parts, it started , ran and mowed great. but almost immediately started leaking oil.
I looked on line and find these engines had problems with that gasket, so I watched 2 or 3 videos on replacing it. NONE of them mentioned the important parts, like governor linkage adjustment.
THEN, I find this video.
I pulled the engine and find the gasket is sucked in on both sides. Currently waiting for my gasket set so I can finish this job up and get to mowing with a "free" zero turn, that I will have about $350 dollars invested in.
Thanks for covering the important points on this repair!
My engine is back in the mower , ran great and didn't leak a drop of oil in the first 1.5 hours of mowing!
My first video I was like ok cut to the chase. Now I'm a fan of the intro vids. Great job and also good info, very detailed
Thanks for posting. You saved me $500. It was very helpful. You guys are great actors too. Funny.
VERY GOOD VIDEO ! IT JUST SO HAPPENS WE HAVE THE SAME ENGINE IN OUR LAWN MOWER ! THERE IS A SMALL OIL LEAK BUT JUST COULDN'T SEE IT ! THIS WOULD HAVE TO BE A WINTER JOB AS THE GRASS IS A GROWING RIGHT NOW ! OH AND GREAT OUTFITS !
this video was very helpful, especially the part about setting the governor. One thing that could be added to this (and other videos) is how to take the drive/mower pulley off the crankshaft. I had to do a search to find a trick where you stuff a few inches of cotton rope in the cylinder, through the spark plug hole, to stop the crank from spinning while you remove the bolt holding the pulley. Other than that, awesome video. Thanks so much.
Awesome video on Briggs and Scraton Intrick engine....Blademan and Throttle are my heros....keep up the good fight...yey
Golly thanks Blademan.
Thanks Taryl, your video on my vtwin carb saved my bacon last year.
I just got an Intek ,loose connecting rod bolts and several case bolts ,shit gaskets ,I used a beer case for new gasket ,worked great
Taryl, I never comment on anything so it is rare for me to pay someone a compliment. "Fluffy" caused the old "pushrod in the oilpan because of a stupid nest on #1" thing. I was going to just leave it in the pan but too many people said not to ......so after ripping it all apart I woke up today to start exactly what this video covers. I am so glad that I looked to see if you had a "how to" on this event because my confidence level is now where it needs to be.....I would have screwed up the oil pump and governor installs fer sur. Your videos are well-filmed and your specifics on part ordering and recommended items are exactly what we "shade-tree" folks need. Listening to your instructions makes me feel like I am back in a DOD mechanics course with the Gunny. One philosophical question for you.....after watching one of your more recent vids on how newer mowers are all trending towards being "crappy"....what are we going to do in the future? My plan is to buy whatever is on sale, make sure I get the 3-year warrantee, and then junk it before I have to start spending every weekend doing 6hrs maint to get 1 hour of grass cut. It's worse than owning an AMC Harley Davidson. Maybe you could start your own production line?
Man thanks for the video , gave me some great advise on changing my gasket out!
Thank you for all your sharing on how to.
That was epic! Great production, and repair. Thanks for the entertainment and fix-it knowledge!
Thanks! Glad to have ya watching. And there's your dinner!
Very good demo I think I can tackle this now.thanksJerry
your videos are always very entertaining, LOL...and most important, informative, thanks for sharing...
Definitely taking notes, My 16 year 198 day old Briggs & Stratton 26 hp Intek has slowly began leaking oil.
Thanks for the great video. You're crazy but you know your stuff. I followed your video and had repair done and mower running same day. Looked at floor this morning and no oil on the floor.
Keep up the good work.
THANKS TARYL! YOU ARE AWESOME!
Awsome video and helped me out tremendously!
Taryl you are the man.
This is an awesome video,very funny,and very clear and informative. You guys put a ton of work on this viseo and it shows ,Bravo guys. Thanks.
This video was very helpful and allowed me to replace the head on my B&S V-twin Engine on my John Deere 425 :) and recover my valve rod (push rod exhaust) from the Sump :)
Great video!! Sure gonna help me out cause I'm fixin to do same fix just hope that's where my leak is. Thanks for sharing be safe have fun enjoy
Very helpful video! Thank you
great instructive video!
Great Video as always guys. Didn't know when we spoke on the phone I was talking to Briggs Whine AKA Blademan. LOL Was good talking to you Taryl thanks for the time, I know your busy
I had to take my 3 yr old Husky motor apart because the governor blew, found all the pieces plus a small pile of chips in the sump, amazed to find there was NO GASKET except for a very light coating of sealant between the sump and motor. New gasket is the new style too, with wider sections at known leak points.
lol, nice video skills. Very good detail. I am starting to get use to the goofy acts. Cannot deny the knowledge is above the act.
Great work and explains things very well . I only wish he cleaned up the engines a big more . I tore my 22hp briggs down to change this gasket and cleaned it so good , it like it came from the factory !! just a little TLC .
thanks for the informative video! I told them I found their webpage because of your video. thanks again!
YOU GUYS ARE KILLING ME LMFAO i realy like the way you work you do the job like i would do iv worked in a profishional auto machine shop and i have to say we did a lot of clowning around to it helps becouse some of the people you fix things for are the most thankless people iv ever met and there are some nice ones to i like it GOOD VIDEO I GIVE THIS VIDEO A 10 STAR RATTING GOOD JOB BOYS
Great video you are a hulk and at the end when you started it the fuel line was not even hooked up!
Like your videos .....Smart and very informative how to diy.
Hey Thanks!
You guy's are freakin great. spoiler alert... Blademan and throttles real names are Ace & Gary.
Thank you for this great video!
It was so helpful.
Great video, as usual. My BS V-twin leaks at the same gasket and I assumed it would require a full tear down, but it’s not half as bad as that. Looks as if I should be able to finish it in an afternoon or weekend with your tips. I only wish I had a Koehler or Kawasaki instead, because any time I repair a BS engine the result still leaves me with one of their junk engines.
Great video, you even gave the part number. Thanx
awesome video taryl
Another great vid, keep em comin. Cheers
Best one yet guys!
Thanks!
Gday Taryl, great stuff . Very entertaining. From Australia. Cheers
Is it the same face you do when you're having shit on the bowl? lolll (5:51)
thanks so funny and I learn so much, so glad I found you site ........... keep them coming .... awesome
WOW, I had a bad day, ,,,,, this made it worth it, thanks guys fantastic,, loved the talent & production ,,, great job, watched over three times, still laughing ,,, u guys ROCK! kodi
Haha that's great! Glad we could help. Thanks for watching!
Awesome video!! Thanks for taking the time to make it and for sharing it! If I had one question it would be : why didn't you replace the governor seal while you had it apart?
I'm glad I'm not the only one that finds every single one of those drain valves loose like that.
Only thing that's loose on mine is the rockers... last owner overheated it.
you guys are a trip . great video great information thanks for taking time to make another video. you guys need to make a movie.
Thanks! And possibly down the line!
Nice job guys!!!
When you install that seal, use a piece of plastic soda bottle wrapped around the crankshaft, so that it comes out about 3 inches or so past the end of the crankshaft. Lube it up and use it to guide that seal on its way down. That way it doesn't hang up on the end of the crank and pop that spring
My God Man - FANTASTIC!
good vid Taryl as usual.
thank you for making this video, it really saved my bacon, i mean briggs
Glad you specified going against the arrow when holding the governor and seating the cover. I saw another one of your videos where you replaced the cam and didn't specify that. It seemed like in that video you were saying to turn it toward the arrow and not away. Might want to add that in print or something on that video.
After doing this job and adjusting the governor, I noticed the shaft wouldn't turn left or right after loosening the nut. Is this an indicator the governor is blown? The only way to control the throttle is on the carb.
Great video
Man your videos are extra goofy 🙃 but boy I tell you what I like watching you work!! Very helpful man. And you’re very smart dude I can tell. hope you have much more success in the future brother
Hey man, thank you so much!
Utter classic . Great information yet again.
Thank you Taryl, I have a 4 year old tractor that all of a sudden leaked a river of oil after changing this spring 2020. I couldn't figure it out. Today I stopped mowing after smelling burning oil and sure enough, it's leaking but I could not figure where from. It seems to be above the filter. Now, after watching your video I understand. My sump gasket has to be broken above the filter. I'm guessing every time I change my oil it pulls the gasket out more and more. When I changed the oil in the spring I also added a street pipe to the oil drain because the drain valve was loose. This all does anger me though. I expected better from B&S
