- In "Skippy's Spark Plug Necklace", Taryl goes over this NIGHTMARE of a fix when trying to replace the belt on this Husqvarna walk-behind mower. It's not as easy as it should be and he's gonna show you why.
Before and After the fix, local spark plug fanatic, Skippy, shows up with said mower and wants Taryl to burn off his Digital Spark Plug he stole from him at the Portland, IN Vintage Motorbike Show. See how it plays out here in another funny, yet informative, how-to video from your pals at Grass Rats Garage. And There's Your Dinner!!

I have been working on lawn equipment for over 65 years- maybe 3 times I found engines that would not run because of a bad spark plug
In the 1990s I had a John Deere 21"SP with Kawasaki engine which would quit running every 2.5 years like clockwork. Spark plug would spark, engine not run. New plug would run another 2.5 years. Like clockwork.
I've had our racing boat engines not start or run like crap because of bad plugs. But I know that are a bit of an extreme 2 stroke
Many customers replace the spark plug when engine will not start. Very seldom is it ever the spark plug.
Back when I rode dirt bikes, a 2 stroke, plug tried to foul. I could take plug wire off, put it so it wasn't all the way on, had to jump a gap to get to the plug, a minute of running like that cleared it
@@N4HHE
In the 80's my brother had an RX4 13B Rotary Engine that needed 4 new Spark Plugs (on the 2 Rotors) every 10,000km🇦🇺(7,000miles)
If it ever went a bit more distance, the engine would flood and refuse to start ..
It was a JAPANESE POWERHOUSE when it ran and Reved to 8000rpm..
but when it Flooded from Spark plugs, It was a Bitch to start or Dry out the engine (kinda like a 2Stroke)
Best, easiest and quikest way was to
1. Change the plugs
2. Tow it fast for a Clutch start within 20m(18yards?)
Otherwise forget your starter motor and battery, until it fired ..
Gotta love Mazdas amazing German Wankel Engine (fun when it drove)👍👍
Dogs and cats, living together! MASS HYSTERIA!!! 🤣
Elephants and donkeys living together
Who ya gonna call
I was ROTF LMFAO!!

I didn't even crack a smile. I hope you didn't hurt yourself when you hit the floor.
Hey Taryl! Certified Husqvarna mechanic here. The bolt you take out as the belt guide, is the only bolt you need to take out. You can sneak the belt up and in there, without taking the cover off. Hope it helps.
Certified Husqvarna mechanic? You must be a busy feller! Bunch of junk but it keeps folks employed, so it’s not all bad.
Yeah, I don't really understand why he took that hard to get to bolt out for the front cover when he literally already had the belt off of the front pulley before he took it out.
I thought the nightmare was the fella draggin' it in. LOL!!!!
With a four wheel drive lawnmower, they have to expect you to go off roading with it. They should have put a cover over the belt.
@@garysgarage3669 You know what's funny You would think these things would wear out everything being open to the elements. But my mother bought one the first year they came out. She has since passed away and my sister is now using the lawn mower It's 100% original. Even the paint looks good. The problem seems to be with the bagger. You can't fill it all the way up. If you have thick grass it starts to fall back in the mower deck and leave piles everywhere. But yes you can take it off road.
its seems to be to make more money off of cheap plastic parts,, they just keep slaying the average consumer
i like to take a picture first
some times belts can get a little confusing to put back on
Note to TH-cam: I'm not downloading any games. I'm here to watch my friend Taryl earn his dinner
Yeah, and quit deleting my comments about the attempt on other channels.
Great start-to-finish in real time repair. Thanks.
I have worked on and fixed more of them than I can remember, lol,thumbs up great video
@TaryIFixessAIl lol
This is the same as my mower! I had to figure all this out by myself the first time the drive wouldn't work...I wish I would have had this video then... I'm saving this one!! This mower is great when working properly!! Thank u!!!
You need a video for this? Really?
@@Failure_Is_An_Option He said he figured it out by himself, just in case you didn't read the whole comment... It's just Taryl has tricks and shortcuts he's learned over the years, like leaving that one basterd screw out.
You know you're breaking the internet leaving that screw out 😮😂
LOL!
I just got this mower in the shop , two out of the three of the pulleys were seized , so I ordered the kit , 3 pulleys, and a new belt . Thanks for the video it will help .😊
Such a dumb design to not keep sh!t from getting into the 4WD idler pulleys. I would think it would have been easier to unbolt the blade to replace the drive belt...and to do a quick sharpening while under the deck. Great job Taryl.
Добар видео- свака част Терил! Није ми јасно зашто ниси скинуо нож одмах на почетку( да не смета)
Hey Taryl good morning to you and the Crew Good info on why the mower won't start the people saying you have to take the plug out really don't no much at all about mowers God Bless You and the Crew There's your Dinner ❤🎉😂🙏🙏🙏💯💯💯
All wheel drive mower for when you want to mow your yard in the middle of a snowstorm.
😂
it helps in the rain too.
So, THAT'S what they are designed for? Well, I'll be dipped!!
Lol
they want you to all wheel drive all the money in your wallet to them
Excellent!!!!!! I have this exact mower and I need to replace the sump pan and possibly the belt so this video is perfect!! Taryl man you rock brother! Love your repair vids man!! The skits are funny as heck too!
Thank you for explaining the spark plug wire hysteria. You are the dude.
Life goes on. Thanks for another day Taryls and company! Admit I skipped ahead.
Job doesn’t look too bad. I looked at those four five years ago when I bought a new toro self propelled. I thought hey maybe if you had a lot of slops or wet lawn the AWD would be good? My dogs and cats live together ❤ The pack leader is the old cat😊
Good thing you recapped on how Skippy got the spark plug necklace cause i forgot !
Did you hear him tell the story about Taryl giving him a pearl necklace?😮
I have a very similar model... a hu 725awd. I found it on marketplace for $50 all it needed was a new belt. It was not bad at all to do, makes my very steep property alot easier to mow.
Taryl's wearing his Dr Scholls Himalayan hiking sandals
Steel toed work sandals, seen often in India.
@@pyromedichd1LOL
bad decision in sh0p, rule #1 no sandals in work shop.... ouchhhh
Unlike the space shuttle that Husqvarna AWD lawn mower is real.
Sandals in the shop 🩴 😂
You see that a lot in the Philippines
Taryls great grandad was Philipino .. 😄
Those are special safety sandals
He did his training in Pakistan.
TIL that there's supposed to be a return spring on that rear transmission. I have strongly considered leaving that front belt cover off or "customizing" it, as it stays crammed full of dead grass with no way to clean out (no bagger, so I guess it blows more in that forward belt path). Had one of the rear baffle screws strip in the plastic, shoved a zip tie in the hole and ran the screw in, has held through a half dozen 1-acre mowings so far. Mine was sans any hose on the tank breather in the airbox, I added a hose to out the bottom of airbox, so that a full tank when tipping up, doesn't soak the air filter.
That’s Husqvarna hat that skippy has on is awesome!
that's the first Husqvarna hat I've ever seen. didn't even know they made them.
Thanks to Taryl i was able to tear my carbitrader apart and fix the surging issue on a gcv 160
Im still catchin up with Taryls vocabulary, hes re-writing mechanical vocabulary 😄👍👍
@@kevwills858 🤣
I've had that problem before, it's those tiny side holes in the main metering jet, the main thru hole stays fairly clean but I think the little tiny holes bleed in air, I think the proper terminology is an emulsion tube or something. Anyway, those are a good engine, that was about the only problem I ever had with mine, tiny bits of junk in the carb bowl would clog up the tiny holes, had to find a thin bread tie wire and some carb spray to clean it out good.
@@brnmcc01 a bread tie is exactly what i used, the bowl had a couple of rusty spots that clogged those tiny holes up, so im going to the airport for gas from now on
Had choice of Husqvarna mower with 4 wheel drive or Husqvarna mower with lockable, steerable caster front wheels that makes it like zero-turn walk behind, with 2 wheel rear drive, that has complete belt cover under deck. Glad I chose the latter.
After watching you replace that drive belt I'll never buy one of those junk Varnas great show. Taryl thanks
Awesome! A new Taryl video!
As always very informative! I’m worried about Mr Cameraman though. He’s breathing hard in several of the recent videos. Please let us know if he’s okay. It’s got to be hard to film some of these when you have to move around and squeeze in to get a decent shot under and around these contraptions. Have a great day guys!
Remove wheel gears and install a piece of tubing to maintain spacing. on a dead/ bad transmission. To make it a half self-propelled on this mower. Or on a std. S/p mower in to a fully push mower. When a customer cannot afford to fix it right. A fellow outdoor power equipment technician.
Thank you for sharing.👍🍺
They work good. My rear wheel drive is hard to pull back ward. I took it apart and cleaned up those little dawgs, still does it🤷♂️🇨🇦
Brother-in-law has the same one but Poulan brand. P.O.S. Had to change the idlers (locked up) and belt. There was a huge amount of grass built up under the plastic cover. After changing the idlers and belt (cost plenty and getting harder to get.) still wouldn't drive. cable was stretched so I tied it in a knot to shorten it. It runs fine but you don't pull the drive handle all the way now. Wasn't going to spend the $ for a new cable.
I love my all wheel drive lawnmower husvarna
Does this mean one of us should buy you a crows foot wrench set,
for those harder to reach bolts? 😁
Thanks for another great video Taryl and Crew!
You can use a distributor wrench on that forth plastic bolt.
Hey Taryl,
Tim here, what an AWFUL belt design......but since u've already pulled ur hair out doin a few, u made it look easy....and that one screw, is essentially non sequitor!!!.....i enjoyed the vid my brother.......I ENJOYED MY DINNER!!!😅
Nice work boots, Taryl!
Nice Job Taryl 😀😊😇👍🏼
That break on that handle we don’t get them here in New Zealand 😂
Great video bud. Thanks for sharing.
I've changed so many belts and broken pullies on that style of mower. Almost always due to a stick getting jammed into one of them. Easy money tho, not complaining.
Great job 👍👍
Maybe a 1/4 drive swivel socket ? To get that one out ?
Was that old dude George Washington?He has the right hair.
The casual look fits you well - shorts & sandals. Nice job on the fix but was it really a nightmare? You make it look so easy. Thanks for the vid.
Thanks Taryl, brilliant-fixed it
Yes, this happened on my parents' Toro self-propelled. There was a piece of a pine cone wedged stopping the front wheels from spinning. I assume this came from the squirrels eating them, and chunks found their way to wedge the drive system.
There's been an explosion of pine cones the last couple years, pine trees are just loaded with them.
4th that's ok slippers is the man
We asked and Taryl and Co delivered! Thank you all! I would have screwed this up for sure. Now I have a clue.
With 4 wheel drive maybe get a surrey stand on attachment😁.......AL Scott
Thanks Taryl
very good disassembly and build back.
i worked on a mower with a self propelled unit as well, rear only. and i can see that by not putting that bolt back is the best decision. it is in the way .
and shame on them for letting that happen.
the mower i am working on is a honda, self propelled type. it has a double thumb drive on the handle. the thing is, i think the bearing is bad.
question, does that style push mower have to be refilled with oil everytime it has to be used?
i checked the underside, and found that it is all dry, no leaks anywhere.
and yes it has a rear grass catcher on it as well.
absolutely love the 10mm tumbler.
1000 thumbs up !!!
Easy, Peasy, Lemon Squeezey…..another good video for reference keep them coming! Cheers.
Good show, Mr T .
Taryl, I think if you took that ribbed forward shield/ blade guard that looks like it's made of galvanized steel out, you could get a flat ratcheting socket on that hidden third bolt holding that front shield in place.
we go thru belts like butter.. our johns deeres and scotts eat belts every 2 acres.. its insane
Taryl has a video that he talks about using mower belts, not car fan belts. They're more durable and a little thicker and a different dimension.
@@RIDING_BEARS Yeah the mower belts seem like they're cloth covered or wrapped.
Are you using the Kevlar type of belts?
I like your OSHA approved sandals.
B&S service manual states "NOTE: Flywheel must rotate at 350 RPM minimum on engines equipped with Magnetron ignition."

Thanks for the Very informative video.
Good morning gang.
What a pain in the neck design. It looks like a freshman mechanical engineer designed that mess.
Taryl Fixes All 😊👍
The #1 reason I find a problem with the Mowers folks bring me to repair is operator error. Owners don't understand that Mowers on their Highest Cut Setting, are mowing Grass at 3.5-4". Owners lower the Deck setting to lower positions & scalp their Grass. And end up damaging the Decks, & prematurely wearing out Blades from hitting obstacles & lifting Rocks, Sticks & Dirt. (Healthy Grass shades out Weeds!)
1st caviar, i am not much learned. Having the pulleys and belt exposed to potentially high velicity sharp objects seems senseless. But, then I saw the wind tunnel. Does that thing help the grass near the center of the deck to stand up straighter so it can be cut down more proficiently? Kinda like the old vacuum clipper haircut system? NM it was just to allow for a bolt , and the belt. So the whole thing is just a shroud. Guess they figure the small area 8nside the shroud is not that susept , prone to getting stuff stuck in there.
No, it sucks up the clippings and fires them into the rear bagger. This mower can be either mulching, side discharge or rear bagger. The blades cut the grass only at the tips, the blade isn't sharp in the middle...
@@brnmcc01 the openings i was referring to are for exactly what i said, ie, one is surrounding a mounting bolt, probably for the engine, and the other opening is for the belt. I am well aware, since a child, that this type of lawn blade is only single edge beveled at its ends. As for the suction action, that is beneficial throughout the whole diameter below the deck, especially in taller grass, as it , at times, may lay over on itself. If long enough, though the base of the grass may be outside the cut , the tips may be sucked into it, and that , aided by the relationships between high and low pressure areas from shaft to cutting diameter all contributing to upward force.
Yeah that kill switch makes sense and the flywheel brake something I knew about just a safety thing the shop i worked for used.
Nice video
I thought Taryl stopped working on that small stuff, and there's your dinner
We don't have those safety bars, with the switch and brake, on mowers in Australia. So I was visiting a friend in Atlanta 20 years ago and thought I'd do him a favour by mowing around the house. I pulled and pulled for two days trying to start that furshlugginer mower until someone pointed out the safety lever. Then it started first pop. So frustrating.
Thaank you Tar Oil!
"Spin this around and stick this other one in" Ahh, I see Grasshopper.....always practicing the Kama Sutra of lawn mower repair.
*_Now....what's fer Dinner...?_*
Thanks brother yer awesome
good luck keeping up the pase with that mower lol
Im sure they sell a special tool to remove that screw.
Hey Taryl, you should take the spark plug wire off off before you spin that engine like that.
Pre 80s engines that have no handlebar bail......
80th Aniv. Breaks and Scrap Em has a plastic cover that you have to remove to replace the drive belt, but you have remove the pulley blade adapter first and of course its frozen/rrusted in place, --and you can't remove that without melting and ruining the plastic cover.
16:30. YOU GONNA OIL THOSE IDLERS. OK. GOOD JOB YOU OILED THEM WITH 3M MOTOR OIL OR 5/20 MOTOR OIL. GOOD JOB. 👍
As a mechanic, If I say "leave a bolt out" people look at me like I'm an amature,
as a Chevrolet technician I watched GM leave off 2 nuts on the windshield wiper motor mount when they discovered they weren't needed!
That Husqvarna drive system is not worth fixing, I had a gearbox go bad. They wanted $160 for a new gearbox, there are 2 of them.
Four wheel drive burn-out. I have a 4 wheel drive. works good Love the dinner
Yuck... plastic idler pulleys. One can usually find metal replacements which a: last longer and b: run truer so there is less bouncing around of the belt.
I had a few Honda would not start on new plug that ran other motors fine .
Poor Skippy....eeehhh😄
Oh yea, I want one of those AWD Husky's.
Actually if you took the 5 seconds to remove the blade you wouldnt have to keep rocking and rolling it 20 times during the repair to get it out of your way.
EXACTLY !!!
29:12. 4 WHEEL DRIVE OFF ROAD. OR ROUGH TERRAIN.
ALL WHEEL IS STREET OR PAVMENT USE
I’m surprised that Husqvarna has this complex drive system with so much of it exposed. Another plastic cover might have saved you some work.
I sure coulda used this video 2 years ago when my belt got jammed up by a bunch of galls from our pin oak TWICE in ONE MONTH
I thought changing the drive belt on the LX 176 was tough
Love the channel. Question: I've been messin' around with a few older Techumseh valve in block engines and the exhaust valve guides sloppy. Can you advise the best way and tools to replace the guides. They look like 1/4" ID x 3/8" OD and 1 inch long. Bronze. Having trouble finding these in the parts lists, although many different part numbers on Amazon , Ebay etc. Is there even a spec for clearance? All the intakes are fine. Have you done a video showing this procedure? Thanks.
In Australia we don’t have the safety bar, maybe the government thinks we’re still gen x
Winner winner, there's your , chicken, dinner!!
Hey Tarryl, I think you can take off the orange part from the cover and work on the belt.
What a PITA!!
I would have to take a picture of those belts wth a Cell phone to get all that back just right
There's only one belt.
I left that screw out when I did mine... Great mower, stupid design on the drive system. The idler pullleys rusty and corrode and eventually lockup. Next time I'm going to try and use a single belt and convert to rear wheel drive.
I just deleted that front cover. All it's good for is to collect clippings.
