Volume to low, sorry I can’t watch it 😂

Nice find and a great video! I love finding mowers like this and bringing them back to life, it’s very satisfying. Amazing that it didn’t also have a bent shaft, half a tank full of water or an entire quart of oil in the crankcase, but at least it had the obligatory upside-down blade!

I'm surprised you didn't bother with changing the crankshaft oil seal. You can clearly see it's leaking... When your engine only holds 5/8ths of a quart any oil leak is seious.

I notice now that a lot of these "new" ohv mowers that everyone immediately flocked to to replace their old flatheads are now all junk after 2-4 years. It's designed to get everyone to go with electric powered bullshit. Personally I think the flatheads are just fine. Not getting rid of mine and looking for others. They work great and last 30yrs+.

Nice video. I dumpster saved a mower like this about a month ago. Strange thing is that the blade on it was on upside down too, it looked like it was on like that for its entire life. The other strange things were that the control cable was on the opposite side, the bail was hung underneath the handle and the pull start was not fastened to the handle. Not sure what the previous owner was doing/thinking. It runs great.

Good video. Whenever I get mowers like this I add a little Berryman's Chem tool to the tank to clean out the carb.

I bought a self- propelled version of this same model last week from Amazon. The first time that I used it it the belt guard (under the engine) broke off. The guard is made of light plastic rather than metal. I've been going back and worth with powersmart about returning it but no answer yet. Can I say anything positive about the mower? Yes. I like the candy red color.

These were neat blowers. I’m surprised it’s 30 years old and it’s still working. Mcculloch airstream blowers are definitely the thing of the past nowadays. I have a super airstream 4 except it’s a blower vac. I’m surprised it’s still showing life too and good compression and spark and it still ran after all these years. Is that ethanol on 8:45?

New push mowers are $300 plus at the big box stores, ridiculous. Definitely worth fixing up a decent used lawn mower. I find them on Craigslist free stuff in my area.

I got one to good fix man mine has a primer bulb😢 carb

Is it normal for these chainsaw to “drip” or leak bar oil when they’re running

Excellent video as well.

Very informative.

I would just sell it for $20

Hi, I've got the same mower. Went through and cleaned the carb. Replaced the two gaskets at the top and bottom of the bowl. Now leaking gas which seems to be coming out from the venturi area. Any idea what could be the issue? Thanks in advance.

Where did u find the sproket, I can't get it...

You have the patience of a saint! My 125B has a similar problem. My solution: buy an electric blower!

I want to see i you "CAN" get it running!

Thank you Sir! Excellent job with the explanation My point of interest was the exact gasket / block orientation; also noted that your choke deactivation was markedly slower than mine. I did like and subscribe. Best wishes.

For the Husqvarna HU700F, the recoil rope typically has a small clamp-on stop (similar to a split sinker) leaving about 30” of rope that does not recoil. The reason being, the rope attaches to the mower’s handle, allowing you to crank while the blade brake lever is engaged. I realize it’s difficult to show while the handle is not attached, but wanted to point out that your hard stop is missing.

Nice details on the 775ex. I usually just put on a new carb from e bay. You can get a new carb, gaskets, hose, clamps and filter with a pre-filter in a complete kit for less than twenty bucks. 👍

My mom bought one of these new in 2020. It ran fairly loud right from new. It had rwd self propel, but her boyfriend and I didnt like using it, so it sat for two years. I finally got it running again this season and during the first cut with it the thing chucked the self propel belt and wrapped it around the blade. I had a very difficult time finding a new belt for it so I could sell it. I finally found a craftsman belt that fit and used that. We listed it and sold it after a few weeks, which early in the season is forever. My mom paid around $170 for it new in 2020, I guess that kind of explains a lot. There was nothing positive about the experience.

PowerMore, PowerSmart, and Pulsar = 3 mower types I avoid like the plague. They are throw away mowers and have no support/parts. I have never seen one that the handle isn't wonky due to the way they are made. Not So CHEAP Garbage

I've gotten 2 of these from the scrapyard so far, the first one looked brand new but had a bad camshaft, luckily I got one used on ebay for $11, the second one just needed a carb clean. Both of them had broken handle bolts, and I've seen other youtube videos, that is a very common issue

Well, I can’t really offer any positive comments but these were definitely built to a very low price point and not meant to last. BTW, they actually made one with the same basic deck only with a horizontal engine and a gearbox to change direction to vertical rotary action. I see them for free or for a few bucks on FBM fairly often, they blow apart pretty quickly.

I flip mowers as a hobby. Its amazing how people don't take care if their equipment. It should be illegal for some people to own power equipment. What a shame at the cost of mowers today...😠

Put it back on the curb

Oh no, there isn't much you can do with that machine.. I've never seen that brand here in the UK..

I watch these mower shows change oil without running mower first to get the wear debris mixed into oil to drain out

"Made in China"

Very good. It helped me get a Husqvarna going again. Especially pointing out the ports which needed carb cleaner and the jets which get clogged. Re-assembly was also helpful.

Newbie here, what are you using to "spray it out"?

Was this one of those that had the recall?

Great job!

Best Briggs engine on a push mower nowadays

Just what I was looking for 👍👍

Such an easy saw to work on. Video sounds like a bit of drama. Go to Leon's chainsaw parts and repair and get all the info, ipls for this and all homelites. 5 minute tail down on this saw.

I have one just like it and can't find any diagrams or anything, can u tell me about the berring or whatever has the little metal balls in it about the flywheel, mine fell apart and I don't know how it originaly was, I also have 2 other parts from it that I don't know we're they go if u could help me with that, they look like bolts but with flat heads and no threads, I have no clue were they go, I took the engine apart to fix it and lost track of where stuff goes, if u could give me some tips or knowledge that would be amazing thank you!

Got 2 of these, 1 in each hand every fall. Live it the woods of PA, LOTS of leaves. Had to put a piston and ring in one, ring was seized to piston. Got me to 125psi cold. Now other one didn't want to start. Pulled plug and soaked piston with MMO. Got me to 115 psi cold and it runs!

I watch videos like this at 1.5 times the normal speed playback. You can still understand what's going on, but it goes quicker and you don't lose much. Try it and see.

Did an Ariens mower with a Kohler a little bit ago... Wasn't starting, but ran on sauce.. So I just threw the carb thru the Ultrasonic cleaner, and poof... The AutoChoke was a fricken pain on the XT6 on that Ariens... I had to completely disassemble the thing. Honestly, I should have made a video of it for my channel, but ah well.. Next one. after the cleaning, the mower is a beast! Sounds fantastic too, and really smooth.. Was overall a very simple fix.. The autochoke wasn't assembled correctly, so it wasn't working anyway, and the carb wouldn't let the mower run, I tried with fuel, the main jet was plugged bad.

My guess he had an issue took it apart and got frustrated and gave up on it.

Great video!!

Sorry being late on this one, but great job on your initial educated guess fits! Where do you find the torque call-outs? CZcamsr's are always saying "I can get the torque settings later" or "F it" lol. Problem is I can only find blade torques in the manual and nothing in the engine manual. Some tuber's are even saying there's a torque call-out for every bolt and nut. What's your take? BTW, I just got this model (w/ electric start) from my local mower shop in their so called "bone yard" area for $25! Everything's there and it turns over (no oil though). Can't wait to dissect it as soon as I get done rebuilding a hrm215 I got for $4! 😃😃 I'm wondering if they were going to attempt to part it out but later figured, screw it...?

Got a hand me down, non-starting mower from a neighbor moving out. Runs good now! Thanks!

Great video just what I needed to fix my oiler . Suggestion please add a pdf manuals ,parts lists to your website would be a great help on chain saw

Please make a demonstration video with that weed eater.

Thanks for a great video i have just rebuilt my XL 2 automatic new piston etc but could you please give me the part number for the bar and chain

my curb fined needed a replacement carburetor, that was all

If you take a small steel wire you can run thru the whole in the tank and out the filler neck and you won't have to remove the tank. Nip a piece off the end of the line like from opposite tip down about 1/4in to otherside and push wire thru the line and pull back up or down thru the tank
