    I got one of these in a salvage hunt. Got two of them actually. Can’t wait to get them going. Using your video as a guide. Great work.

      Yea three years ago when I started I didn't have the equipment to get some shots! Takes time and money most of which new tubers don't have.

    Another job well done, my friend. This video had only been posted for 27 seconds and I just had to drop what I was doing and watch it! Lol. You are fast becoming my favorite CZcams presenter! Now, if you’ll excuse me; I have stuff of my own to fix!

    Just got done fixing my MTD edger. I am having trouble with putting the linkage back right. I was hoping you'd discuss and show how you reconnected the linkage but you were too far away to see what you did. . Other than that good job.

    i've got an old Tru Cut Lawn Edger TC-370B with a Briggs & Stratton 3.5 hp. Won't run, don't know the first place to start to diagnose and repair.

    • @TheNovaJohn
      @TheNovaJohn  Před 2 lety

      Understood, I will make a video on this topic but most of my videos cover this.
      Watch any of my mower vids for example!
      All of my diagnostics now go the same way...

      @@TheNovaJohn I put a little fuel again in the carb and it worked. I was able to edge, but then I couldn't get it to shut off. I put the choke in and after maybe a half minute it finally stopped. I checked the fuel and air filter. I'm not sure how to check the compression.

    I have the same edger and wondering if you know the model number so I can get a carb kit?

      @TheNovaJohn  Před 3 lety

      I sold it but I have a few others slated for spring.
      Amazon has the diaphragm or bladder as some call it. there isn't much to this carb. Very common engine on these machines.
      I have new camera's now so the next video will be more in depth
