- Today we take a step in a little different direction, but we feel it is an important part of homesteading or farming, especially if you are trying to save money. Today we are repairing a small Kawasaki gas engine and hope to give you some tips along the way.

Starting my mower requires many choice words and a test of my temper 😊
Our mowers might possibly be related... Same with our "mouths" 😂
Same here😂😅😮
❤very impressive how patiently you work on this mower and teach Jacob. Too many Dads don’t take the time to teach their children. Jacob is going to be a fine young man like his Daddy.
Thank you, I’m 72 yrs. female, this brought back memories from back in the day, I learned from my dad❣️
Watching Dad! Thats how we all learned - and Mom.
Great tutorial Andy. From lawn mowers to generators to chainsaws to water pumps, there is always something on the farm that needs fixing.
You probably figured it out by now but I think you probably have to replace the dried crispy fuel lines, Probably sucking air.And also put a wagon behind it and the boy can drive it around and pick up a lot of rocks out of the garden, and sticks from the yard,that will make him a good tractor.
Now get them old trucks back on the road😊❤
Those are I’ll fix them one day collection 🤣
Thank you so much for this. My daddy and I rebuilt the engine and transmission in a 1965 Ford Mustang for my high school graduation present in 1980. He was as patient and knowledgeable as you when teaching us kids how to do things. He passed away 5 years ago and I miss him terribly but you reminded me that he is still here in so many ways.
I loved this video. It definitely ties into homesteading. You have a very kind way of teaching the children. ❤
At 55 years old, I can finally try to tackle the 4 or 5 small engines I have been scaring the crap out of me. GREAT INFORMATION!
awesome glad we could help!
I am so grateful for this video. My husband has been trying to get my John deer running all summer. It's came a long way but not there yet.
Yes I hear you .try to save money 💰
I can remember my dad doing so much mechanic work, and him teaching me about much of it. I loved working with him, and later my husband, keeping thing running. Andy, you're doing a great job, and teaching such valuable lessons. God bless you 🙏 ❤️
Great video 👍
A follow up on the engine surging would be good.
Your son is at a good age. He's like a sponge and will retain knowledge like this for the rest of his life .
Good job dad!
awesome!! let Jacob fix that tire and He'll be good to go with his own farm vehicle.. in a few years he can turn one of them Fords into a project. 😀
I just left a comment on a video you posted about a month ago when Andy was talking about spending more time at home and you packed 165 packages of hog meat. I hope you read it because it comes from the heart! God Bless You
thank you! we read every single comment
Thank you i never knew how easy working on a carburetor was!!! It’s great the patience you have with your youngens!!!!
Good video. I’ve been working on a wood splitter and old riding lawnmower with my grandson. Appreciate y’all. Enjoy your patience with your kids. I’m not as good at that as y’all are. Lol.
Y’all have a great channel and I really love how y’all include your youngings in a lot of what y’all do I’m 69 and my dad was a lot like that my mother as well great job dad
Thank you!
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I love all that y'all are willing to share. This is truly helpful. More please.
Great video. I love all of your videos, especially the ones you can learn something from. I'm a semi retired equipment operator, and love this kind of stuff.
Kudos to your son Andy. When I was his age I had no idea about small engine repair.
I love them old Ford’s y’all have setting around also and working on them old mower’s will save lots of money because they are higher priced with cheaper made metal that just don’t last. Keep up the great work
Great Job Dad!😇!😇!😇!😇!
Excellent video. I learned alot. I constantly have problems with these old mowers. Thank you
I really enjoy watching yall. It reminds me of when I was growing up. We lived on a farm and did all the things that yall do now.
Excellent video! Look forward to more like this.
Thank you for the lesson.
Yall remind me of Anchor Brand Ranch. ❤
Great video Andy, you all worked together quite well and everyone learned from their experience. Necessity is the main reason for learning everything you can about repairing what you have to work with. Bartering is something you can do with friends to share knowledge and labors of friendship. I use to be able to trade my skills with farmers and spent lots of time in the fields after dark working to repair equipment so they could get their farming and ranching done and it was friendship done and low and behold when harvesting was over I found lots of their produce as their gesture of friendship. Keep teaching those young ones and they too will do well. You all are so blessed. Fred.
Wonderful channel! thank you!
Thank you!
Your food always looks good! Great job Andy!
I believe that you are an excellent teacher.
This was EXCELLENT! Thank you very much! I am on my own now; so I have been teaching myself how to work on small engines. The carburetors have seemed overwhelming to me; but I feel like I can take them on now. This is a winner for homestead videos!
thank you
Great information as usual
Good watch! Most grown ups can’t fix small engines these days
you're right about that
I learned that and used it my hole life i am 62
You're right my dad taught me how to do stuff he wouldn't fix it he made me get in there and do it I went from minibike to motorbikes to cars and trucks then I used that as a backup job and a slide job fix people's cars for money then when the Paven business shut down here I went to work at an auto wreckers for 9 years became shop foreman then I got heard on the job they gave me a so called bogus re training course to be parts person I didn't feel that I was trained enough to take on a good job at a big Dodge dealer that they wanted me to ended up by myself a coffee shop if that for 4 years till it went broke hard as Joe ever had was the coffee house specialty but I had fun lost $100,000 isn't it but still had fun had to deal with people which I never used to people used to call me a hermit now I'm back to being a hermit don't like dealing with the public too many drunks and druggies out there
I have a GT275 and my hood is shot too lol. They are good mowers though.
Thank you Andy I have a scooter that won't start cleaned the carburetor but needs more work you got me in the mood to fix it my self I have rebuilt an engine 🚒🚒 I should be able to do it I am 67 year old female and used to like working on cars
Well that was fascinating.
Thanks for lesson Andy
I like this video. Nowadays you can watch you tube videos...
Good video. I wanted to give you a tip. I've cut off those fuel solenoid tips. Or grind em off flush. And it will run just fine. I've done a bunch of em. You probably already know, you can creep the choke on and might smooth it out?
yep, Ive never thought about cutting that tip off though thats a good idea
This is excellent! Thank you!
Encouraging to see you teaching your son the basics of small engine repair, which will save him time and money in the future by being more self-sufficient, so as not to spend money unnecessarily.
I think this was very interesting for me 😊
I think that video will surely help someone I always like to use sea foam In my Fuel
I actually poured seafoam in the tank after the video to see if it would help clear up the surging, I buy that stuff by the gallon
Need a new clamp on the main supply line it's sucking air
I hate those gas line clamps they usually end up breaking the line split I always cut a chunk off the gas lines and put a screw clamp on them They're always leaking or lucking air in the vacuum lines
Put new spark plug and new gas line and build him a trailer to help his mama haul the veggies
I enjoy watching all your videos and love your tractors you’ve collected and thanks for sharing your videos and content with everyone by the way I’m from Houston Texas
Good explanation!
Cool stuff! 😀
Both kids a mechanically inclined. The girl has big time but taking nothing away from little man. Some People think a girl can not inclined but that is not true. Apples don’t fall far from the tree. That baby is Precious. They both are!
I have gone to getting after market carburetors usually around $20.
Use Non-alcohol premium gas in all small motor and cuts maintenance a lot.
🏆
Hey Andy, why don't call sink a big water tank down by the bridge using stored energy to pump it bCk up the hill into another cistern on a water wheel for grinding corn or just energy,,,,hydroelectric????
Jacob will make some lucky girl a good husband someday... because he is learning from his daddy what is needed to be a proper man, husband and father and how to properly look after his family!
Most men today are proud that they have tough their babies the best way to play a video game 😢.
Andy, did you clean the needle valve really good?
Today's homesteaders don't know what a homesteader really is...😂😂
Older the car the better the engine the better once you get into the computers and stuff they're made to make it take them into mechanics and pay 150 an hour to get them fixed I had to kept my old 77 Chevy 4 by 4 then I rebuilt and did a transmission change over to the standard what a mistake of getting rid of that truck got rid of it in 19 99 when I got 10 decided to sit in my arms I was having problems shifting didn't want to change your vacuum automatic because I couldn't wrench anymore haven't wrenched ever since because you can't control your fingers cause it hurts too much when you get into tight spots that's what happens when you pull wrenches for too many years and you bump your funny bone it's not so funny that mine never ever went away in my right arm wCB forced me back to work specialist told me never to go back to work and use that arm and it was in my left arm within six months so now I don't wrench anymore it was a very good mechanic Rebuilt my first engine in grade 5 at school it was a Briggs and Strachan for my mini bike my dad built me No matter how much the new engines save you in gas it's never gonna pay you your mechanical bills that you have to get when you have to take them in to get them fixed Those are called torx bits Screws
BAU BAU ! Great to have yerr son help out!!
My old JD mower I just took hack saw and cut that backfire preventer off and done away with it
The needle part that's inside the bowl about 10 years ago
never thought about that
Great Video , My 18 yr old Craftsman Briggs and Straton 17.5 i/c OHV engine just stopped starting , put a new Battery and new Solenoid on and it just whines when I try to start it , Im 80 yrs old and would like some Help Please
does the engine turn over when you turn the key?
no@@TrueGritAppalachianWays
sounds like its either locked up or the starter is bad
Thanks , GOD Bless You and Your Family@@TrueGritAppalachianWays
You didn't tell us why they went to Star Headed screws??
I guess so we'd have to buy new screwdrivers lol, na star head screws seem to hold up better without stripping
Does this mean l need to pull my generator apart and sort out the rings?? Iol
haha yep
@@TrueGritAppalachianWays thanks..Not.. lol...
