Murray Sprint 3.75 No Start Conclusion
Can anyone help. My throttle handle keeps slipping back and obviously slowing down. Any ideas ? Thank you.
Thanks for the video. My Powerhorse is running again. Thanks for your Service.
Great video 👍
Thankyou for your video made job easy without frustration This vet appreciates
the transmission shift is corroded up....buff it up and add some grease
Thanks for the video, which I just followed in order to replace the Drive Cable - all steps similar to your video except replacing the Drive Cable rather than the Shift Cable. Everything is apart & labeled and I ordered both cables - the mower is 15 years old.Only concern I have in putting it back together is re-attaching that heavy duty spring.
So how’d you take the lower cover off? Video doesn’t mention how to remove the bolt holding cover to metal bracket..
Also, does anyone have the right part number to the belt? My lawnmower is HRX217TDA if that helps
The spring on the transmission came off all the way. How do you put this on correctly?
Have a 700 wire is loose or off the electric start doesnt charge . Dont need the electric start as it is running one pull everytime change plug every year
Thanks to you video I’m done with my mower 🎉 bravo!!!
Your videos aren’t good at all…but we can hear you very clearly.
I couldn’t see nothing…
Rebuild is a good experience. However the aftermarket clone can be an acceptable alternative. A toss up. 🎉
Just what I was looking for… replacing the piece of the shroud and bracket that controls the mulch/bag action.. parts are crazy expensive… about $80 for the required parts..excellent video!!
i did exactly what you did. i have that same generator and it still won’t start.
Steve's Small Engine CZcams will give you the best option to cure the problem, worked for me!
Kind of a pointless video ..no before and after results .
Thanks for the great video series. Just completed my transmission replacement using this series and it was spot on, the order is important and you were very detailed.
Very helpful video. I just went out and cleaned up my pinions and keys. Wheels now work great. Although, maybe it's just nomenclature, but my pinion flats face the front of the mower, not the back, which is what I think I heard.
Thanks for the education I own one
Thanks. Series 11, is that most old tecumseh engines? Mine looks exactly like the one you rebuild rebuild
could have done this without the damn back ground noise of someone mowing? WTF, poor planning. FUSA
For those who had a rusty pin on the mulch selector rod and can’t get it to budge, you can cut a slit with your knife in the plastic on one end and slip the cover over it.
I did this without removing any of these parts. None. Intelligence and fine motor skills. If you have this problem, look closely at it for a while. You'll figure it out.
It Is easy on some models. But I don't see how it's possible on the HRX217 TDA. Does your mower have the TDA suffix?....Very different from other Hrx 217 suffix models. On the TDA, the shrouds block everyrhing.
You are right although I don’t know about other models. Mine is the HRX 537. I ended up removing the near side back wheel although it’s not vital to do so. I threaded cable in through top hole on deck and poked the end to be attached over its location, I then looped some thread around the end of the bit that attaches on the lever and then shaped a piece of wire with a hook on it and pulled the cable towards me until it lined up with the lever and it all just fell into place. It did initially take 3 hours by trial and error and lots of yelling and thinking but it works in this model. The youtube vids show you but you have to remove so much which isn’t needed on this model
For the love of Pete, the wind chimes are giving me seizers. Cutting the engine two seconds after starting it tells me this failed. Thanks for the effort.
This was super helpful, fixed my self propelled mower. Thanks
Would be nice to have a hint of how to get that transmission spring back on--what a pita….
Makes no sense. All you did was disassemble and reassemble the rear wheel mechanisms without pointing to any reason why the wheels won’t go backwards. No cleaning, no lubing. 🤪
I'm looking for a replacement chain for this exact chainsaw but I'm confused about what will work. Anyone help?
The Dog did not attack the man. It nipped at his pants because he turned away from it. Just an overly exited dog looking for attention. I understand that he turned away to shield the dog he picked up but that's why it happened. Never turn away from a barking dog if you can help it.
1:22 The 12mm bolt. Looking at mine, it didn't appear to be 12mm. 8mm? No, the socket just spins on it. Turns out whoever tried to fix this mower in the past broke the head of the 12mm bolt off. I think I should be able to use a punch and tap it out, but if things are rusty like they are on this HRX217 I'm repairing, it can be an issue. I'm glad I waited to order parts, as I'll need new bolt and retainer. It looks as though I may need to replace the hydrostatic transmission also--one of the keyways where the key and spring sit in the axle is wallowed out, and one of the axle spacers was holding the key in place, and cocked sideways. And beyond that, I don't even know if it works. Going to test it but I'm not hopeful.
My hero! 🤩 My belt broke on my little Sears Weedeater after years of use and now I can put on the new one@ I'll take the opportunity to clean up and see iv my blades need sharpening. They're fairly new but still. Thank you very much! Isabelle 👋🇨🇦

Thank you. I do have two questions: 1st: What if idle is low (lever on low), and mover dies? There must be an additional setting for minimum speed/idle? 2nd: Where did you find the book to download with all the instructions? I can't find anything related to shop/service manual, only owners manual...
Es normal que gire el cabezal sin acelerar?, ya cambie todo el motor y el carburador por unos nuevos pero sigue igual 😑, por más que trato de calibrar las RPM pero no se puede, si bajo demasiado las rpm en baja se apaga por completo la máquina, y aunque mueva el tornillo del relenti tampoco nada, no se si sea normal eso, no deberia
For the love of god please muffle those wind chimes!
😎✌
where is the air filter sir?!?! i can't keep mine on longer than 15 seconds. ugh,. frustrating
Weirdly enough, I just got one of these given to me. I was surprised to find the deck was plastic.
Thanks for the video! Carb cleaner is mostly acetone. Maybe you could save some $ if you just bay a gal of acetone. Don't get it on the mower deck's paint!
Thank you
Remove the outer snap ring, drive gear, woodruff key and spring store these parts in plastic bag. Install wheel push and pull mower manually with ease. My yard is relatively flat and not worth the aggravating wheel lock up pulling mower rearward. I could use the exercise. 😮
Thank you for this! A lot if videos say to bend the arm. That didn't seem right to me. 🇺🇸
You sir, are a blessing! Your video was a great tutorial on how to help me get this done.
pia to even think of taking this up!
Thanks for the video i did the same maintenance and boom. Fired right up!
I have a 1999 weedeater tractor with a 13 hp tecumseh
At the 8:31 mark i cannot get that piece off the shaft. Very seized and I applied some wd40 to hopefully get it off. Really want to save this lawnmower
Time wise. Took 4 beers. Thanks Honda. Should of been a 1 beer job...
