Kawasaki brings EVERYONE to the yard! That is a really really clean mower! 14” is more like a city mower for us in the states. Glad you salvaged the $130 carb. SSSPPLLLEEENNNNDID JOB
Hello Mick, Can you mention to your viewers on an other money saving tip. Qualcast built their mowers using industry standard metric screws, washers, and fasteners. I know because I have just rebuilt a 35s classic from the ground up. I see these used rusty screws, washers and fasteners for sale on the famous auction website being offered at ridiculously inflated prices. When you can buy the exact same ones brand new at a fraction of the price. You will save £s buying these brand new.
Just followed your video and serviced my Suffolk Punch 14SK which was dying on me and when it was running was hunting all over the place. Its now running absolutely perfectly!! Thanks so much!
This is a wonderful website. I have had a number of problems with my mower and the videos and a few helpful friends have enabled me to fix them. How great it is to be able to repair and reuse. Why buy another when the original can be fixed. Please carry on the good work. You are appreciated.
Normally anybody who needs help with a how to video is very well served on CZcams, but this one is one of your reference video’s. The reason I say that is your no nonsense hints and tips are the best at the best of times, but great quality camera combined with quality of sound any punter can play your video back as many times to build up confidence.The work on the carburettor was incredible it had my heart in my mouth at times but what a result. Cracking little cylinder mower that sounds just awesome, and think you are wrong about it not selling because of it being near end of season. That is a little green gem 💎 that should be snapped up quickly 👍 Tam.
Just bought a Stihl br600 for a song that wasn't working. Stripped down and cleaned, now works a treat. But what a nightmare. He'd used various screws and bolts from various machines. Some self tappers into plastic were stripped so just used slightly bigger ones. Try one for a challenge!!!! I'm using for myself but looking at prices I can 5x my money easy. Another great vid mate. Keep them coming. Regards to Riley as well.
Great video Mick, just had a go myself cleaning the carb on my Balmoral 14 and now it starts and runs lovely and has stopped dribbling fuel from the bowl as changed the ring at the same time. Thanks again for the great content.
Spent weeks sorting my 14sk and your vids are brilliant, changed a rubber clutch coupling and easy but it wouldn’t start Unbelievable time on it cleaning carb new fuel etc Final play as it was intermittent sparking on the block ( Ht lead or magneto??) NO,! Had a new plug 6 weeks ago ) but thought try a new one,,,,, unbelievable it started Thanks
Great video. I like seeing the repair of machines from across the pond. Sorry it took so long to get them stickers to you, I wasn't happy with the second round I got and had to source new ones.
Don't know about anyone else but the advertisement cut off the intro! Other then that great video. Hello young Mick (Riley)! Anyone that reads the comments hit the thumbs up!!!
Great video Mick (as always). I have this exact mower and it's hunting a bit. Looks like I can strip it down (if I can get that pin out!). What I can't figure out is exactly where that governor spring goes (both ends).
@@themowerman Thanks Mick, yeh, although I can't find any manuals for the Suffolk Punch 14SK, I DID find one for the Kawasaki FJ100 engine. And as you say, the spring goes through the same holes as the fixed bar which, I'll be honest, seemed weird to me. I thought, what's the point of that? The spring can't be doing anything. But I guess the purpose is just to keeps it tightly coupled.
Hi Mick, recent subscriber and this video couldn't have come at a better time. I've just bought a 14sk and I intend to strip and clean the carb and give it a service. This video will be a great help. Cheers 👍
Micks Mowers thanks Mick my power assist cable on my Honda mower has gave up at the dog leg end ! All the splines are coming off but thanks to one of your videos ! I’m about to repair it all parts have been ordered tonight thanks Mick it’s much appreciated bud , I hope you and family are doing great .
Wow you got a really nice one to begin with. But still a great fix. To bad about that stupid carb. Someone else tried to fix it and probably put in the wrong size pin and screwed it up. Hope you make a bundle off it. Good to see Mr. Riley Boy. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe.
Hello Mick - Love these videos very helpful and informative. Have you done any videos about the engine governor on the Qualcast 35s mowers? The engine on mine starts fine first time but just revs quite fast and at one speed and the throttle control having no effect on the speed.
@@themowerman Thanks for the info, it was a little bit of both took a bit of tension off the governor arm spring, also rechecked, repositioned, and retightened the arm on the governor shaft. Also a small tweak adjustment on the small stop screw on the carburettor. Has a nice steady tick over now, well pleased.
I had a mower off my brother in laws mate it wouldn’t start so me and my dad took the carb off it and put in some oil left it overnight then me and my dad put it back on the mower one pull it fired straight up on the first pull PS on your next video can I have a shout out I have watched every video you have done

Great video Mick, I need to buy a new main jet for the butchered main jet my 14sk but can’t establish the correct jet to buy or where to source. Are you able to confirm the main jet size and kindly share a link with me to point me the direction of where I can source it.

Really helpful thanks Mick .. However since removing carb seems I've run into a little issue with the guvnor arm throttle cable which is now not moving the spring back and forth on the top of the carb just wondering if you could advise ... thanks Mick
I picked the exact same mower on Facebook market place as I found that the fuel switch has been always left switched on bye previous owners wich has really choked the carb up
Yooooooooooo Chris how's it hanging me old mate.. yeah when I found out how much a new one was I dam near filled my pants lol hope the family are well..
Hi Mick, just wanted to reach out and thank you for your advice this evening regarding my Qualcast classic 35s. Thoroughly enjoy your you tube videos. As a very unpractical guy your videos have been a god send. You are are gentleman and very grateful for your time. Thank you Richard
Great video. I am having trouble with this engine. Took it to a repair place and they didn't fix the issue properly but put on a new carb! I am thinking there may be a governor setting and idle setting issue. Do you have any video on how to adjust those issues once the carb is ok? Thanks
Hi Mick,ive just got one of these mowers and its flooding,ive noticed the needle valve is worn. Any idea where I can get a new needle valve from please?
@themowerman Thank you. This is the one I've got but it's still flooding. Busy until Sunday so I'm going to give the carb a real good clean,not that I haven't already.
Hi Mick, I followed your video and it was excellent thanks. I have a feeling I will need a new carburettor but can't seem to find it online. Do you know where I can get one? Thanks Dan
Wow. Let's hope this starts up again. I have the whole carb stripped and in an ultrasonic cleaner with carburettor cleaning fluid as we speak. Will let you know how it goes. Thanks.
Hi Mick , i am trying to fix this exact mower for my neighbour for her 90th birthday i cant get a spark at the plug so im assuming the coil has gone. Nobody can advise me what engine code the mower is or where i can get a coil from as most ive looked at dont quite look the same. Please can you help. Thanks Richard
Before you get a coil take the coil wire off the coil.. then try to start it.. if it runs it's not the coil.. you will need to remove the HT boot to stop it.. if it runs then check for a break in the wire.. try that and let me know
Perfect timing for me Mick. My Punch 35S stopped working last week. Still has spark but not turning over. Have tried adding petrol to the cylinder directly but just chucks out some black smoke and no turnover. What did you spray in for your job lot mower rather than adding petrol?
Hi Mick, love the videos, have watched them but cant find answer to the problem with my suffork 14sk, have no spark at all, changed plug, but cant find any info on ignition /coli etc, any help or ideas gratefully accepted
@@themowerman thanks mick, we,ve checked the switch, but without a manual didn't know where the coil was and couldnt find anybody selling a coil for one, i'll get back to the mower and dig a little further, thanks again
Mick, can you tell me what the 2nd yellow oil filler at the front is for please. My machine has a yellow filler with dipstick at the back, but don't know what the front one does. Thanks
@@themowerman it's not a pain at all because I've learned to rely on the notifications rather than emails and besides I watch all your videos on my android.
Mick, I cleaned the carb as per your video. I've still got a bit of hunting. Also, when the throttle is at full ( the hare ), it seems to not run at full speed. If I move the throttle near the carb by hand, it runs much better. Do I need to adjust the throttle cable? Thanks.
Hi Mick...do you have a video of removing the flywheel as i need to replace the coil on my 30s but what exactly is behind there ...thanks...enjoy your vids...w
Hi mick I’m just starting up utilising my engineering background but I’m finding it difficult sourcing Mowers etc that I can make anything on. The ones I am getting are mostly from Facebook but the work needed outstrips any potential profit. I hope you can give me a little advice. Many thanks 🙏 Peter
Hi Peter.. ta for watching.. Facebook is great for picking up mowers but like you most need a little work.. start with one style of engine like the classic Briggs that way you will always have spares to take off.
why on earth & when did they start using kawasaki engines, was nothing wrong with the good old suffolk engine used on the older ones at least they didnt suffer any hunt problems, just if carb got dirty they'd hesitate in revving up from idle but they'd still run & a simple clean out sorted them & not keen on the idea of plastic/nylon gears to drive the cartridge, metal gears would be far better for durability
i pulled the gear pinion out of the rear roller and now i push it.these mowers are stupid and want to wheelie when you engage the rear roller..atco qualcast and allett all do it..after 30 years you would have thought they would have fixed this problem...and when you have the 10 blade cassette it gives about 120 cuts per meter.when the rear roller self propels..if you use the normal casstte with less blades and push it slow. it can give 120000 cuts per meter if you push it slow enough..i also have the metal front roller so its smoother..
Hi Mick, I have bought a fixer upper Kawasaki engine like the one of this video. The mower start but then stalls. Any idea what this could be? Thinking of cleaning the carb like you did in this vid but just wondering from your experience, could it be anything else? Thanks mate. 👍
Hi Mick, thank you for your detailed video! I've just service my lawnmower and was wondering if you know at what RPM's the engine should be at idle and full throttle? In the Kawasaki manual it says 1600 low idle and 4000 high idle but they might be different depending on what they are fitted. Thanks in advance!
Hi Mick I have the classic and have an issue with the clutch being engaged. When I start the mower the reel automatically spins without the safety switch cable being released. Have you come across this?
Great vid Mick. What would you have done if you couldn’t get the main jet out. I’m asking because I’ve got a similar mower that hunts and I can’t get the jet out. Can you heat them up or soak with WD to get them to come out?
Cheers Mick. I gave it a go and success! Mower now runs sweetly. Just want to say everybody Mick makes this job look easy. I was thinking as I was doing that mower if I filmed what I was doing it would look rubbish compared to how Mick does it. So hats off to you Mick and super happy with the advice. 👍
Hi Mick, when removing the float pin you removed a very very tiny sprung wire coil which locates on the float pin. You placed this on the tissue but did not comment. I think this just applies the smallest of pressure to the float. Is there any drawing or sketch that shows exactly how to replace this sprung wire coil? I saw this when removing the float and almost lost it and now not certain how to replace it. Is there anything that shows this sprung coil in situ? Thanks so much again.
Did you place that sprung? I lost mine trying to put it in the right place and put back all together without it and still got hunting problem, after few attemps to clean carb.
@@themowerman Oh yes I'm thinking of that I'm not good with the old style lawnmowers just the new one's. You do a great job with your channel mick I love watching your videos and live streams. And obvcourse riley boy hes a good lad. 👍

Hi Mick, I have bought a fixer upper Kawasaki engine like the one of this video. The mower start but then stalls. Any idea what this could be? Thinking of cleaning the carb like you did in this vid but just wondering from your experience, could it be anything else? Thanks mate. 👍
Yeah carb or fuel issue.. I have just picked another one up so will be another video soon
Hi Mick, thank you for your detailed video! I've just service my lawnmower and was wondering if you know at what RPM's the engine should be at idle and full throttle? In the Kawasaki manual it says 1600 low idle and 4000 high idle but they might be different depending on what they are fitted. Thanks in advance!
What engine do you have fitted on yours
@@themowerman Kawasaki FJ100D
@@alexbulanica ok so as per the manufacturer specs 1900 and 4000
@@themowerman Thank you!
@@alexbulanica no problems mate
Hi Mick I have the classic and have an issue with the clutch being engaged. When I start the mower the reel automatically spins without the safety switch cable being released. Have you come across this?
Yeah.. i believe it's a cable adjustment is what's needed
Great vid Mick. What would you have done if you couldn’t get the main jet out. I’m asking because I’ve got a similar mower that hunts and I can’t get the jet out. Can you heat them up or soak with WD to get them to come out?
Add some heat.. not too much just enough to make it sweat.. then try again
Cheers Mick. I gave it a go and success! Mower now runs sweetly. Just want to say everybody Mick makes this job look easy. I was thinking as I was doing that mower if I filmed what I was doing it would look rubbish compared to how Mick does it. So hats off to you Mick and super happy with the advice. 👍
@@peterreeve8663 boom and there's a great comment.. glad to of been some help to you.. that's what the channel is all about.. ta for the support
Hi Mick, when removing the float pin you removed a very very tiny sprung wire coil which locates on the float pin. You placed this on the tissue but did not comment. I think this just applies the smallest of pressure to the float. Is there any drawing or sketch that shows exactly how to replace this sprung wire coil? I saw this when removing the float and almost lost it and now not certain how to replace it. Is there anything that shows this sprung coil in situ? Thanks so much again.
I don't think there is a diagram mate.. from what o remember the long part sits on the float and the needle hangs under it..
Did you place that sprung? I lost mine trying to put it in the right place and put back all together without it and still got hunting problem, after few attemps to clean carb.
What's the file you have for the jets called?
Also you use wd40 rather than carb cleaner, any reason?
@@Adam2050 watch the vid..he clealy says why..less aggressive.less wear on seals
I just do.. gas file cleaning tools on eBay ust seen this comment. CZcams are not sending them to me for some reason.. I can only apologise
Have you not finished this yet.
Yes it's done are you thinking of the Ransomes Marquis
@@themowerman Oh yes I'm thinking of that I'm not good with the old style lawnmowers just the new one's. You do a great job with your channel mick I love watching your videos and live streams. And obvcourse riley boy hes a good lad. 👍
