Magneto/magnets will need attention. They are easy to replace. Great work and video getting that old gal going. Just worked on one to use as a softball field dragging tractor. Enjoyed it greatly.
adding 1 ounce of two stroke oil per 5 gallons of gasoline will keep these platinum engines running forever and they will not use any oil. I have a YT3000 that runs like its been charmed since 2018. I bought the machine used for 200.00
Nice job! Would love to see that old snapper in the background running!
Someday I would like to do a full restoration on the Snapper riding mower. I think they are pretty neat machines. Thanks for the kind words!

Thank you for the kind comment I appreciate it.
People never give nothing for nothing in NZ you guys are so lucky in the states
It’s not that common here in the states anymore.
Thanks for this. I've got the yt4000 and I've learned a thing or 2 from your video.
Thank you for the kind words!

We used to add 2 stroke oil to the gas in our demolition derby cars back in the day. Certainly can’t hurt the mower when mixed properly .
I luv Jersey ! Graduated college from there.
What part of Jersey ?
@@GaryAhl Drew University in Madison. You sound like a South Jersey guy.
@@PapaMav Yep, South Jersey surrounded by farmland.
Nice work getting it back going
Thank you! I appreciate the kind words!
I know what the problem is.. it's a GMC. ... I mean a MTD

Low voltage??? Check valve lash before replacing camshaft
Spotted a Taryl mug !
I do enjoy watching Taryl. Thank you for the comment.
@@GaryAhl me too. Thank you.
I think I would superglue the cracks in the magnets and see if it helps
I’ll keep your suggestion in mind for the next time I come across broken magnets. Thanks
How does the lawnmower charge the battery without a generator?
Not very well.
