Had to brag...I am a 73 year woman.  My 3 year mower was running bad last year and this year no go.  I WENT ON THIS SIGHT AND FOLLOWED IT STEP BY STEP.AND THANKS TO YOU I AM NOW A MOWER REPAIR GAL!  Runs like a deer!  Thanks for your help

This vid was made sometime 2015, and you helped me out 2022. May this vid be one for the ages. Thankyou

Best advice I ever got:  Don't use fuel containing ethanol in small engine/lawn equipment.  Saves a lot of headaches.

Excellent tutorial!  No fluff, no unnecessary BS.  I wish every YouTube tutorial was as fast-paced and to the point as this one.

90% of what I see is that Diaphragm failing. Spraying the old diaphragm  causes  it to curl up and become unusable. As a general rule, ANY TIME you pull that plastic carburetor  from the tank, that diaphragm  should be replaced unless you need to get back into it right away. Brake cleaner is generally a lot less damaging to the diaphragm as well. Good video and good to mention the crud in that well. I always clean the whole tank anyways. You can see that crud as soon as the plastic carb is off.

I was so apprehensive to even start on my stone dead lawnmower. Today I mustered the courage to trust your guidelines and hope for the best.
Well, I'm glad to report that not only that my lawnmower has come back to life but I'm also so thrilled at my new found confidence in myself and what I've been able to do for the first time. I feel like a fully flexed mechanic already, thanks to you. Awesome detailed narratives and great tips and guidance throughout. Thank you again immensely.

1st time I hear that advice. Turn it over spark plug up or carberator up. Don’t know how I made it through my entire adult life without that advice. Makes complete sense. Solves so many problems

Thanks mower is 10 years old repair guy said it was dead, 10 min after watching this I was back mowing, cheers mate

I went from knowing nothing about these mowers, to fixing other peoples Murray B&S mowers. Ever since I watched this video, I have been curious to learn more about these motors, and this is where I started.

Your video saved me money and taught me how to fix my issue. Thankful for creators like yourself!

Magic. Battling with my B&G mower for 2 years. Was about to go buy a new one until I found your video. Followed your instruction and found the well area black. Put it back together and started on the second pull. Thank you!

Eight years later and this video is still relevant. I have the same mower and having issues with an over-season non-starting issue. Totally unknowing where to begin, what to do and what tools needed. Thank you very much for this video, it's still important :) p.s. Amazingly, after all this time,  the Amazon link takes you to the replacement gasket and diaphgram too, the most recent one needed. Perfect!

Just picked up an edger at a yard sale with this motor on it for $1. Guy said it wouldn’t start, knows it’s the carb but didn’t want to mess with it. This carb is so easy to access with it being tank mounted, watched your video once and fired right up. Thanks!

Thank you for clear instructions! I was lucky to find this vid right away instead of going through 20 who dont really know what they’re doing.

Correction on my previous comment.  It appears I am now in the 90% section! Left the mower out in the sun over lunch, tried again afterwards and it started with the second pull! Lawn mowed for Xmas, happy wife  = happy life!

Wow, did this on a mower that hadn't run for 7 years, started first pull. Thank you so much😊

I'm a lady and this helped me fix mine. I also replaced my spark plug and blade!! Yeah!!

You are officially GOATED.  I have the exact same mower and has been sitting dismantled for at least 20 years.  Followed your steps and mowed my lawn  This mower had not been used in years and was sitting outside in the elements!  Thank you.!

Just cleaned mine today as per video, now she starts real easy, thanks for the tutorial man, saved me some dollars. Bless you mate.

I've worked on these things all my life yet I still learned from you.
