Part 2 of 2 on this video series. In this part I fix the gaskets on the air filter housing, install a new blade, change the oil, and put a (somewhat new) air filter in. After all this do we have a good running mower? Stick around to find out!

I set it on milk crates on each side, then use a 3/8 ratchet with extension and pull the drain plug. Also running cheap Synthetic oil makes a world of difference in starting and running. Fuel consumption will be cut in half almost immediately too. As they are such a crude engine, making them run smoother, cooler makes them act like a real engine, and will show it. Good video my friend, keep up the great work.
Excellent advice! I’ll try both of these things next time! Thanks as always for watching and commenting!
Good you hot it fixed.
For sure. Thanks again for the tips!
I noticed that your front mower wheels are kind of floppy. I fix these by drilling out the axle holes of the plastic wheels with a 5/8 inch drill, and inserting a piece of HARD copper tubing 1" to 1 1/2" long into the wheel hub. Most mower axles are 1/2 inch outside diameter. Hard copper tubing is 5/8 inch O.D. and 1/2 inch inside diameter (Check when you buy), and comes in straight lengths, NOT coiled. Four feet of this tubing will last you a lifetime fixing mower wheels. You just lightly hammer in the new copper "bushing" and put the wheel back on the axle. This is a LOT cheaper than buying new wheels, and your engine will wear out before the copper bushings do! Great videos!!!
Kinda floppy is an understatement lol. That’s a great tip and I’ll share it with my stepdad. It’s back with him now! I was thinking about doing something like that to fix it but I didn’t have time (just moved). Thank for watching and for the advice!
Also the needle seat needs to be replaced and that’s why the engine is hunting just a little bit but it will definitely run
Thanks for the tip
Sounds like a slightly bent crankshaft to me but I’m not sure
Thanks for the tip!
So if I understand, you don't have to see gas prime up and out of the brass tube? It will start anyway?
That’s how it went with this one. Tried it multiple times. According to what I read there should be a squirt coming up on it but I couldn’t get it to work and ran out of time to keep tinkering with it. (Moving). I put the 2 gaskets on it but maybe I need some liquid gasket? (Someone suggested that also).
I’m thinking I got it to the point where just a TINY amount came out and was just enough to prime it.
