I dont know why you people that make these videos  dont make them so you can understand what you are saying half the time. if you are going to make a video do it right. Good clear speech and picture or dont do it at all

This was one of the first videos of yours I ever watched. Set me on this path because it helped me a lot. Thank you Bruce, as always.

Nice clear, concise video.

First mow of 4th season, mower fires on first pull and works perfect for that day. Next cut 2 weeks later, starts again, but when emptying bag after 5 min, it won’t start. Starts fine 30 min later. Engine has to be 100% mechanically sound - I researched and found this video. Replaced the armature, and it’s back to a first pull start - after 4 years!  This video was my main reference. Thanks for the description.

Thanks, I have a mower that I believe has the same problem.  I appreciate the way you are aware that the watcher might not be able to see what you have done.

I’ve gone through 3 mowers in the last 5 years. I’m contemplating just to quit cutting my grass and let native plants take over

This resolved a problem I was having with a customers mower.  I had an exact duplicate of his coil. Replaced it and it worked great.  Thanks

You are easy to learn from. And your choice of when to fast forward is impeccable ! Well done Sr.

That was very informative. Will keep that in mind if I come across this issue. Thank you so much for sharing.....

sometimes the the coil ends get rusty and cause a problem starting.when hot. A lite sanding of the ends usually works.

Bruce you are the best teacher!  Thanks for all your video.

Eureka! Looks like I have another fix to try. I'll have to figure out where to get a new coil. Thx!

Excellent video again Thanks Bruce! Coincidentally I have to fix my neighbors exact model Mower today with a slightly different problem starts up then dies after a few seconds and you've taught me how to fix that before.

Enjoy your videos Bruce , keep them coming too . Use too work on them all the time and you have been giving me a refresher course again . Thanks , never get to old to learn either !

Thank you so much for posting this I have a two-stroke moped that I'm working on and this started and I couldn't find an answer why it was doing this anywhere but you came through bud

That thumbs up at the end of video 🤭 What a Legend. Great fix.

Job well done Bruce. Experience again has show you exactly where the problem was located

Your video seriously helped me out. I'd never worked on a mower, but this video helped me diagnose the problem. Replaced the coil and voila.

Cool tip . I fixed my. Mower with the help of your videos ... Thank you .. Here's a good point to make that videos I've seen never make this point very clear or clearer at all that a motor is designed to run with the lawnmower blade in place along with the balance boot that's there on the end of the axle under the lawn mower

This had been an issue all summer for us. Ran the mower a bit, by the time needed to empty the
first bag, the engine was hot enough that we couldn't get it to start
back up again. Checked the usual suspects, engine oil, gas, cleaned
carb, air filter, spark plug. I was starting to run out of ideas until I
found your video. After watching, I was near 100% sure this was the
issue. So I got my part ordered from Amazon, roughly $30 bucks, needed
the vane replacement for my particular model too. As I was a good deal
into the project, came to realize that the choke thermostat wasn't
seated in the vane properly, in fact it was bent and twisted every which
way (I'm thinking we caught some tall grass or brush, it caught and
bent). So, since I had everything apart anyway, replaced the coil and
was able to bend the choke thermostat back into a near original shape.
Put it all back together, started up, let it run for 20 minutes or so.
Killed it, waited a minute, pulled the cord and started right up. I
don't wonder if it was the thermostat the whole time! Thanks again for
excellent video!
