Speaking of cats, I lost my Moe Cat, just a week ago. Suddenly and unexpectedly. She died at the veterinary hospital at 1:15am on Sunday morning. She was cremated on Tuesday evening. I await the brass plaque for her casket. She will return home later in the week.
Take good care of your cats, Taryl, you only have them once, and they leave a big hole when they're gone.

Sorry to hear 😢
White Sapphire; I hear ya about our kitties. Christmas Day of 2015, I lost my wife of 36 years. Our family cat, Gracie, was mainly my wife's cat. She cared for and loved Gracie almost as much as she did me. Today, Gracie is 17 years old and is becoming very feeble. One day soon, Gracie will be gone, and it will be like losing my wife all over again. Gracie has been like an 'extension' of my wife's life, so I'm trying to prepare for it. So sorry to hear about "Moe". Prayers for you to get through this tough time in life.
Sorry for your loss, losing a pet sure puts a hole in your heart for awhile!!
So sorry for your loss!
My puppy passed at the vets sometime during a Saturday night.
The thought of her being alone will haunt me forever...
I know the feeling . I almost lost my cat but he got better . We rescued him , just a baby when his mother rejected him because he was eaten up with fleas.
I learned that the high tension lead can be replaced simply by breaking loose the epoxy and epoxying a new lead in. I thought they had to be chucked. I've currently got 2 late 60's Tecumesh engines running on my snew blowas. Thankyou Sir Taryl for this invaluable information. There's my morning gruel!
I love these “Wisdom from the annals of Taryl” lessons.
I’m 85 and weight all week for Sunday at 9:00 am to watch I’ve watched every video some 2 or 3 times my favorite is belts on rx75 John deer
Whenever I need a little culture, I search out a Taryl Service Bulletin Classic video. Now I feel positively refreshed, culturally. Before this video was over, I noticed that my pinky was raising all by itself while I was holding my drink. Now I must purchase some tea and krumpets. Tally Ho!!
It's been so long since the last Sevice Bulletin classics video. Thanks for another
I really like the service classics. Keep them coming Taryl, look forward to all your videos.
It’s the little things that count! Him smoking that parts pipe 😂
Haha..ya if I'm not mistaken I think that particular pipe is the Model- 'There's Your Dinner' OEM part number 067TD-Z 😉
@@rapturebound197 How can you be so sure? Kindda looks like a model 420 to me.
I am sponsoring that part, monthly
Taryl & Company are national treasures!!! 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
I really enjoy these classic service bulletins from various companies that build small engines and power equipment
I've got a DR wood chipper with a 12 horse Tecumish that has no spark. Handy video Mr. Dactyl.
What's the best way to test for spark?? Grab a hold of the plug wire and spin the engine over? That's how I been doing it for 60 yrs and I always get a charge out of it.
You old guys are revolting. 😉
Rest the plug on a clean bit of cylinder head with the lead on and see if there's a spark while cranking. Should be a nice regular blue strong spark clearly visible, intermittent spark or generally weak appearance typically orange colour/hard to see generally needs attention.
@@nothanks9050 That method would work just fine if i could see worth a damn. I leaned how to do it on my old farmall tractor decades ago. The damn thing didn't have a kill switch so I'd just lay my thumbs against the head and cross out two plugs with two finger on both hands at the same time. What a rush that was but it never failed to shut off.
Lots of people told me I was crazy but not one of them had the balls to try it..
@@shantyshitter3163 Fair enough! Beyond dimming the lights or wrangling an assistant your 'hands on' method is the only non visual way I can think of off the top of my head.
These service bulletin classics somehow remind me of Bill Van playing the Librarian in The Hilarious House of Frightenstein. Classic....
Awesome, I love this series!
Very cool Taryl, I’ve never worked on one of those early electronic ign setups. 👍🏻
By step 5 Mufkin had dozed off for a few seconds, she’s waiting for the bulletin on diaphragm carbutrators.
Yes I always see all your videos you always let me know ahead of time
LOL..... the part about the magneto made me weep!
Such style and elegance of whistling hiss pronunciation! Truly you lend credence to such mundane works such as these.
😄
Great program, keep up the good work.
Very Very Good Taryl !!!! EXCELENT !!!
Loved every minute of it, Great accent too !!!
That's how I generally work on stuff. "Well that didn't fix it what part to replace next" haha
Great video thanks for sharing
Love your co-star.
This is so fricken HILARIOUS!!!!!! Keep it up, Taryl!!!!
Pip pip cheero another inspiring Service Bulletin Classics delivery from Sir Taryl Dactal
OMG another Service Bulletin Classic! Lets Goooooooo! 😁👍
somebody used to watch channel 9 Sunday afternoons
. haha
I had one of these engines on a 1971 Wheelhorse tractor. I couldn't get any spark and tried to find replacement parts. These were nearly impossible to find and the used ones I found were really expensive, so I pulled that engine off and replaced it with a good 7Hp Krohler engine I had. I never liked Tecumish and I still don't like those engines. I had one on a minibike back in the late 1960's and I never could get that engine to run right.
I had a mini bike I bought from a coupon in the back of pop science in 1968 and it had a 3-1/2 hp Tecumseh engine which I believe was still a point ignition. Worked OK.
Your videos are awesome 👏 😊
Nothin beats the classics 🤌
Your too funny have a good Sunday
"Quite perplexing" indeed. Cheerio and all that, mate.
This is in depth and extremely intellectually complex with information Taryl .. "replace a pot and check for Spock" 🖖 ..this is the pot that I've been doing wrong this whole time 😅
Taryl's so fricken hilarious.....'replace a pot, and check for spock'. Good stuff!!!
Hey it’s the guy from the catamaran boat in Jamaica 🇯🇲
CLASSICS, very very good, cheers !
Mufkin is mesmerized by your voice. Meow!
Funny, I had all those service books like that for RV appliances when I had my RV and mobile home repair business.
But, time and four back surgeries made them obsolete and a burden to hang onto.
Really hope you can do some homelite weed trimmers I've learned so much from you got to be one of the best channels on CZcams you the man with the plan
Brilliant
Glad to see Muffkin
What a sweetheart cat.
You should call this Sunday Brunch with Tyral!
Muffkin- "Daddy, why are you talking funny? '
I’m Ready For Another Lawnboy Service Bulletin Classic Taryl Perhaps a D-400 Carburetor Service Bulletin 😐😮😳😀😊😀
I've always wanted to meet yall, so you're saying if I unsubscribe you'll come see me..... cool!!! 🤣👍
Muffkin-where’s my dinner?😸
Your kitties are cute too.🚜✈️✈️
Taryl. Speaking of ignition systems, Have you ever worked on a magneto where you've had to use a magnet charger to restore magnets?
I would love to know if Taryl has a magnet charger and would demonstarate how they are used. Don't hear much about this subject anymore I guess because of much better permanent magnetic material used to build the flywheels? When loudspeakers were no longer using electrodynamic magnets (post WW2) I guess that is when permanent magnets became available to make magneto ignition systems.
Yay, I love Service Bulletin Classics.
One question, though: do spark plugs ever fail anymore? I watch a number of different small engine videos (I know, I'm a dirty, dirty strumpet!) and, while ive seen some people replace them, just to put a new one in, and some people clean them on a wire wheel, I've yet to see a video in which a spark plug is the culprit! Do modern spark plugs just last forever???
Sometimes it is, but not always. Check out the live fix on the Jari. Had a bad plug on that one going into the home stretch
They certainly do fail but it's rare especially with a quantity brand like NGK, last year a customer with a cub cadet zero turn with a 547cc chinese single had weak spark, had maybe 30 hours on the machine, ran really crappy if at all. Had one of those gold tip spark plugs taryl warned us about! Dealer couldn't figure it out. Junk. Also recently had a champion plug out the box with crooked off centre porcelain, slipped past quality control. Some machines and plugs last hundreds of hours without fault, others give problems if ignored beyond service interval.
I watched some guy rebuild his neighbors mower.
He showed us the diagnosis.
He couldn't see.
He was pulling the rope.
He didn't review his video.
He went through checking, teardown, a valve job and all.
We could see, as viewers, his plug was arc-ing and not firing across it's gap during the test.
After all that generous, free work he did, just to be a good neighbor, he found a different plug ran it fine.
Save the ones you remove during preventative maintenance.
We learned that in auto shop, as kids.
Sometimes your OEM parts save you after your new aftermarket crap fails and tries to leave you stranded.
True facts.
It's good to have "junk" lying around.
Or tucked away.
I had old V belts under my truck seat save my V8 engine or a tow bill one summer.
Broke my everything tool tightening it.
My belt was covered and they gave me a new everything tool.
Wear gloves with those.
Did the Briggs & Stratton or Echo (adjustable gap) spark testers not yet exist when this bulletin was made?
Yeah used to read those books scratch my head half the time....
Mint
Left me speechless.
I have a Clinton engine book with several service builtins. I don’t know how to send copies over to you.
It is also a relatively complete shop book with part diagrams for there 2 and 4 stroke vertical and horizontal engines along with there chainsaws and outboards.
@@gfriedman99 I would like to keep the actual book but I have a scanner I could use to digitize it. Still doesn’t help him get it if I don’t know where to send the file.
It’s a good 20 ish pounds and I’m in the upper east coast.
The magneto takes over the points ignition I remember those days I put one in before
Yes i do like your videos Taryl I like them as much as a like flathead tecumish engines and i love flathead tecumish engines
Listen to the cat. Those Power Products engines were the cats meow back in the days on go karts.
That's the cat's meow!
Taryl, you sounded like my old headmaster, 😂
And there's your supper
glad to see the cat.
Just a Riveting service bulletin it had me on the edge of my seat just wondering how much this complete parts replacing method will cost me 😂🤦♂️
I have 3 kitties of my own. Bart. Angel and joey🚛🚛🚛🚜
Taryl, You read from the book of Tecumseh AKA Briggs and Stratton. Lets pray. It's alway and I mean to say always that I am better off having two legs it the one legged ass kicking contest. Gray cat purring is my next movie.
Reminds me of the Librarian, from House of Frightenstein, many years ago.
"Meow", good one!
Taryl do you no the best website to find a 12hp to 13hp briggs recoil love your videos Taryl keep making
Hello Taryl
Now there's your dinner
So a testy question is 5ft/LB the same torks as 5LB/ft?
Hey what's the best pressure washer for the money
Kinda changin the subject, But what would make a 12.5 briggs vertical run away when theres no governor? Half a dozen experimental carb swaps and a restrictor plate under the intake and still same. can't stop it even by shutting throttle flap, only choking it works. Even tried the carb backwards, still ran away same. Otherwise runs real good.
Petting Muffkin was the best part of this video. She flopped over so you know she liked it.
Hold onto the end of the thick plug wire, crank the engine, and if you say potty words, the ignition works.
Check for Spock?! What about Captain Kirk? Veddy interesting!
Muffkin is a super star!
I have a Kohler 7000 series 22 horsepower 725cc V Twin engine..incredible engine 3 year unlimited hours warranty and designed after the Kohler command commercial Pro Engine..
hee hee, you Americans have a strange view of us Brits, maybe the character you played lived in the victorian era! Beautiful cat.
You kill me!
Note: always use lead or asbestos for insulation as they are the best!😅
Hi mufkin!
"Sir" Taryl...
👍🏻
Talk right
I am guessing these early solid state ignition systems weren't very reliable.🤔
Trying to figure out why that is even a service bulletin. Seems like its basic troubleshooting and repair. I'm used to seeing bulletins alerting to defective parts that should be replaced or instructions to reroute a wire that tends to rub.
I had a motorcycle that would stall out when riding in a crosswind and a Honda service found a bulletin to reroute the carb vent hoses.
if you had a cat whisker then you could trouble shoot the spark 🤔
haha this is pretty funny man.....
Why do I not see you work on snapper mowers
My snapper mower no longer charges the batry. The end that you plug the charger in is broken. The shop told me it needs a whole new wire harness. I think there's a way to do it without a wire harness
I say good show old champ💂
How you doing Troy
Now i cant get that thing fixed
👍😎👍
I now want a crumpet despite not knowing what one is.
As a life time mechanic it shocks me the hours I’ve spent reading and schooling classes in 56 years
As a lazy mechanic it shocks me the hours I’ve wasted putting stuff off
Stihl 20 years ago: You can replace a damaged high tension lead because *it's screwed* into the coil.
Stihl today: If the high tension lead is damaged *you're screwed* because it's moulded into the coil.
Actually the leads only came screwed on some machines, but now it seems that they don't come screwed on any machine anymore.
TECUMSEH engines where always reliable, unless you had Spark or Carburetor problems...
Service Bulletin Classics, Taryl, and Mufkin...does it get any better? Possibly only better if Alistair Cooke magically appeared.
Hawld on spawk pluwg whar faw spawk 😮.
Cheque for Spock?
