Anyone else prefer the videos with no talking? I mean, theres nothin wrong with the dudes voice or commentary by any means, theres just something satisfying and peaceful about watching a machine come back to life with nothing but the sound of tools.
Although I'm a (retired) grease monkey, I do not know a lot about lawnmower engines, but I DO know that if pieces of metal dumps out of the oil drain, something's probably wrong. 😁 And great video. 👍👍👍
What I really appreciate about your work is the "job's not worth doing if it's not done right" attitude you have; you change all the gaskets/o-rings (whereas other people would just use gasket maker as gaskets and not change the o-rings), all parts are replaced with OEM pieces, everything is cleaned thoroughly before re-installation...
When replacing a main seal I like to offset the new installation a fraction to prevent the lip of the seal from falling into a groove the previous seal may have left behind. I'm not sure about small engines but it works well with automotive engines.
Great video. It's worth pointing out the valve clearance is quite critical on many B&S mower engines. If your mower is hard to turn over it might not be a weak battery/starter or broken decompression system. It might just be the valves need adjusting.
Thank you for making this video! My parent's 2013 craftsman riding mower has the exact same symptoms as your mtd, same exact briggs motor. we're going to use this video as a tutorial lol
I got a camshaft kit from Amazon for 30$ Mine was a 15.5 HP Intek. The camshaft intake lobe had excessive wear and by a miracle after 17 years the compression release did not break off.....New cam solved both. Some people use a gasket sealer but I did not. I also re-piped my oil drain with a longer 3/8 pipe and a 90 degree elbow and plug so the oil changes do not get all over the frame. I also lubed my stearing gear while I had my mower out with White Lithium grease but Spray Graphite would probably been a better choice.
After several tries to get my mower running by cleaning the carb to no avail... I checked for a spark and couldn"t see if it had a spark or not. I took the top off to have a look and found the sparkplug wire hand been cut by the metal and that was where the spark was grounded out. I stuck a tape on the wound and started it up... big smile.
Good video, lots of great information. I have one of these mowers. The single cylinder Briggs & Stratton INTEK engine is complete garbage. I haven't had this problem, yet mine have all been centered around dropping the exhaust valve seat.
New subscriber here from the United States, I appreciate your work ethic and your knowledge! Really nice job repairing this tractor engine! She runs beautifully!
Nice video! I picked up a rebranded generac 7000 watt generator (branded as dewalt) with a 420cc engine from my neighbor a couple months ago. I assume it had the same thing happen, but that engine wasn't so lucky. It grenaded, took out the crankshaft balance shaft, oil slingers and put a bunch of holes in the block and left a pile of shrapnel inside. Funny thing was that I knew something was wrong with it, but he didn't tell me what. So I fire the thing up and run it for a minute. It purrs like a kitten, runs fantastic and even puts out power from the generator head. I think to myself Ok, so it runs. Let's do some maintenance. I finally realized after adding oil to it and having it pour out all over my floor what was wrong with it. (it was dark out at the time). I wanted to replace the block and a couple odds and ends, but the bare block costs more than the entire genset. Hopefully one day I come across a similar one that doesn't make power, or a comparable china clone. Have a great day!
Wow, what an education your channel most certainly is, I used to be just a turn the key and go chap and ditch it if it did not and replace it, now however, thanks to your vids, I am willing to have a go myself, thanks for taking the time time to film,edit and post, it is very much appreciated....10/10.
So that's why our old B&S MTD lawn tractor was so hard to start!... especially in cold weather. It since got sold... but it's good to know if I get another in the future 🙂
I just brought back to life a train wreck Craftsman 1000 that sat on a neighbor's lot in the Sonoran desert for years. I honestly thought I was wasting my time but my wife wanted it running so I kept at it. No matter what I did I couldn't get the governor to work properly, even after opening the engine up and working on it, so I converted the choke cable into a throttle control and bought a separate cable for the choke. The tires literally has holes in the sides so I bought a gallon of Slime and kept working it into those cracks and did finally get them to hold air. Cut the solenoid and needle part off the fuel shut off and welded it closed, and replaced it with a manual shut off. This was all a frustrating body of work in the Sonoran desert summer. Lots of fabrication. I thought I was wasting my time. The engine never seemed like it was smooth. Then one day it hit me that without the deck on it acting as a flywheel, maybe that was why. So the new blades arrived, I installed them and reinstalled the deck. To my amazement that little stinker fires right up, runs beautifully, cuts beautifully, and does everything I could ask for. The re-engineered choke control works perfectly as a throttle control so in the end all the work paid off. I have an acre and here in the desert when we get a wet winter the weeds grow like crazy. I did cut them with a string trimmer. Now I ride and smile.
Looks just like my 2016 Troybilt pony but mine has the Briggs 15.5 hp engine. Nice to see its innards and how it works. It replaced a 1976 Lawn King 8. Nice job :-)
I have almost the same problem. Mine gets to a point when starting, that I have to had turn it to get it past the "rough" part. Once it starts, it goes runs well. I might have to tear it open and see if that is what is going on. Great video.
Try adjusting the valves first. That is a way more common problem and these engines are prone to it. And since you are eventually able to get it to start I’m almost positive that’s what it is. Look up how to adjust them. It’s really easy
Great video mate im currently working on a ride on at the moment as i haven't worked on one before thanks to your video i have a better idea of how things work iv managed to get it started having replaced the coils so it now starts however it doesn't move so that's my next mission so ye that video was very interesting hopefully i don't end up with that problem thanks alot
I had the same problem with mine. Tried everything so I removed the starter and found one of the magnets was broken vertically in three places. Changed the starter and problem solved.
ottimo lavoro...come sempre. Mi stupisce che uno bravo come te, non abbia ancora provveduto a modificare il sollevatore manuale, applicando ad esso un avvitatore elettrico.... ;-)
Learned something today! “Compression release!?” I have an older model! MTD yard machine 98-99 model. Briggs & strat twin 2. 18.5 hp! Starter barely turns. Take spark plugs out turns more. I’ll research & see if same design/components! Thank U!!!
10:50 now that is every fellas dream to have a heated parts cleaner...I'm working a cam also that the lobe wore out already...this one is a 19 hp Platinum series
Good repair. The main issue is cost in this case. Who is going to want to spend $300-$400 parts and labor (at least), on a mower worth about that? No deck, it’s an MTD, with a smaller engine (17.5 hp), that is 7 years old.
Out of all the channels I have seen no one addressed the problem with the more deck not staying level. Due to there's no front stabilizing wheels. As you find on the commercial zero turns. For the Murry Tractor Division. The biggest question of all , Why do you need a solenoid switch on a carburetor. Sounds like a ticking clock on a 3 year warranty, or the placement of the starter solenoid.
New battery take everything apart new stuff lawn mower is good condition needs some work drain the oil pan new fresh oil awesome job friend in London England and Orlando Florida Sunshine State keep it coming new videos restore lawn mower
I've had an MTD tractor fail in this way from new. So I solved the problem by giving it away and not buying MTD tractors anymore. On a side not that heated cleaning cabinet is a nice bit of kit. I need to get me one of those for my shop.
Shouldn't you use a plastic gasket scraper? Nice information. What's the torque specs, how do you find them? Don't you wait for gasket maker to dry before joining the valve cover?
what are the torque settings for the sump, please? Im currently replacing the sump gasket and PTO end seal on my 13hp Briggs, and dont know the Torque spec... thanks
I have an old lawn mower from the 70’s. The pulley that’s connected to the engine’s PTO is extremely similar to the one you removed at 3:48. Any tips on making it budge? It’s so incredibly rusted that it only moves when the engine turns over. I already have the bolt out, and I’ve smacked it a couple time with my rubber mallet, but it made my mallet chunk apart rather than get the pulley off.
Splitting the motor and finding what went wrong, great work and a quick fix if you know what you are doing. Question ?? how come you have not used gasket goo on the new timing cover arter you went to the trouble of cleaning off the old gasket, the gasket would have had some form of sealant used when the motor was first built in the factory. Would there have been originally a gasket for the valve cover instead of just using silastic ?? other than that a great video.
just bought this lawn mower. Could it potentially still run without it? Mine has trouble turning and does the start stop....but eventually runs on a higher idle then can go low idle once it gets warm.
Never knew about that little thing in there! The work that you do and your knowledge is just incredible!! I’m kinda scared though because I think I might have that same issue with my lawn mower. 😳😬
I worked on one them once. Carburetor butterfly screws had come undone n both the screws and butterfly plate had been suck into the cylinder, wouldn't read about it.
I'm wondering if you can help me out I have a used Huskee LT 4600 lawn mower I got last summer. Last fall it stopped running so I let it sit until last month. I replaced the battery, oil, new carburetor, spark plugs (it has spark), fuel filter. I put fresh gas and it wont start.... it turns over no problem but it wont fire. Ive made sure everything is good, choke, blades off, run, parking brake.. Also the gas I put in disappears after a several days and the fuel lines are still good. Idk what to do.
Question: My lawn mower tractor does exactly the same thing, but it only gets stuck once when starting (in particular when the engine is cold), gets over it and then starts. do I risk any further damage (for example to the starter motor) if I leave it like this? taking out and taking apart the whole engine is a lot of work and I don´t think I could do it myself, so if it is just a cosmetic problem...
That's a great job. I've never worked on small engines except for maybe carb replacement or maintenance. Knowing me, I'd probably just replace the motor if the parts are expensive.
Great video daggerwin! I like the way you are doing these longer videos with a mixture of commentary and just time silent time lapses. Especially loved the heated pressure cleaner part.
I still don’t like these newer engines, love the old v-twins though, had a 16 HP v-twin, which was great, much better than the 17 hp 1 cylinder I have now
I have a MTD riding lawn mower it has a 18 HP V-twin Briggs an stratton engine. Everything but the engine and transmission is either worn out or falling apart. They just don't build them as good as they used to. Now mostly lawn mowers won't last more than 3 - 4 years. Because they are built more cheaply from the factory now a days. Just so that the dealer gets more money for having to replace parts that are hard to find for the average person.
@@chevychevelle7216 that's why i still have the engine from 3 lawnmowers ago on my mower, it will just not quit, and the 16 hp is still all there also have a 2 cylinder boxer B&S (opposed twin) on my second mower, which is great also
Excellent job my friend,but I am curious as to why you didnt just check valve lash first.You seem to be an expert,and I was just wondering if you can tell the difference in too much valve lash versus damaged decomp.Thanks again for the great video.
Sir, Are you able to reply to any messages that are written about your videos? The only reason I have asked is that I had written you over two years ago with no reply? But your video was spot on and I tried to find other videos on this subject, but each one always went for the valves being the issue instead of the compression relief being the issue.
Hy mate i have a mate Rh 125 tractor and I have a problem is not starting is cranking have spark but won’t want to fire up can give me some advice please
@@hunter7476 hunter thanks for the encouragement but I don't have the tools or supplies to fix it. I don't want to dump it but it does no good sitting here, I can't use it to cut my 4 acres.
If my new MTD ever stops working, I pray to God that guy from service is gentle like you and doing all with care. Good job bro!
I never had any doubt you wouldn't get it running. You're the man Dagerwin. I love your videos!! Keep up the good work! Thanks!

I have sold one mower recently because of this, i wish i watched that earlier : )
I'm really surprised to see that no gasket sealer was used when the crankcase was re-assembled. Lots of peace-of-mind for cheap.
When removing the gasket material i like to use a 90degree die grinder and a scotch brite roloc disc. Just a suggestion.

One specific tool I must have is a sonic cleaner. A part washer would be nice but, a little elbow grease doesn't hurt.
Shouldn't you use a plastic gasket scraper? Nice information. What's the torque specs, how do you find them? Don't you wait for gasket maker to dry before joining the valve cover?
You tighten the valve cover then let the gasket maker dry. It forms a really tight seal that way.
Good job as always your workshop is lovely

What does the plug in on the bottom of the carb do? Electric float or something?
Check valve lash before condemning the compression release. Loose lash causes similar problems.
Great video, this is exactly what is wrong with my mower. Where to you order you parts from
Where did you find the torque specs and everything for this engine? I have almost the exact engine that I need to rebuild.

I did this on a pull start. Changed the connection rod too and now its mega hard to pull. Any ideas
Im not a rocket scientist but i do know that if small pieces falls out of the oil drain its something wrong
I suggest a plastic gasket scraper because the metal ones can sometimes gouge the surfaces then they cal leak oil
Where did you buy the piston rings for the brigs and Stratton engine you restored in a previous video?

What kind of temperatures is a parts washer using?
That's a great job. I've never worked on small engines except for maybe carb replacement or maintenance. Knowing me, I'd probably just replace the motor if the parts are expensive.
True. For these the cams run like 40 but the engines are at least 350. So personally I find it worth repairing these.

Excellent job my friend,but I am curious as to why you didnt just check valve lash first.You seem to be an expert,and I was just wondering if you can tell the difference in too much valve lash versus damaged decomp.Thanks again for the great video.
Sir, Are you able to reply to any messages that are written about your videos? The only reason I have asked is that I had written you over two years ago with no reply? But your video was spot on and I tried to find other videos on this subject, but each one always went for the valves being the issue instead of the compression relief being the issue.
Hy mate i have a mate Rh 125 tractor and I have a problem is not starting is cranking have spark but won’t want to fire up can give me some advice please
I haven't find any video on this Brand with powermore 420cc engine. Need help
First video to clearly show the oil hole under the seal.
Hey daggerwin instead of using a metal gasket scraper try using a plastic scraper it's impossible to gouge the metal and cause a oil leak
Well now that I know what's wrong with my mower time to dump it. Great work btw.
no dont do that its not that hard its just nuts and bolts you can fix it
@@hunter7476 hunter thanks for the encouragement but I don't have the tools or supplies to fix it. I don't want to dump it but it does no good sitting here, I can't use it to cut my 4 acres.
Thats how I pick up my mowers cheap. I enjoy fixing them and getting them back out there. I hate seeing them end up on the scrap pile.
