  • I accidentally put dirty fuel into my mower; watched your vid and repeated the steps now it's running like a charm, thanks. 

  • @MileyCyrus192 ....says miley cyrus......

  • i like your vidoe 

  • Even this is 2 years old the lawn mower this person working on can be done to all same type of engine that has this type of set-up.

  • Had to do this recently...some mechanical aptitude but this helped a lot! Well played sir!!

  • Thanks for the video! Well done!

  • I have a weedeater 500 push mower. It wouldn't run. I didn't realize that gas when "bad" after 30 days. I removed a part that was above the gas tank, opened it up & it had a sponge like thing in it. It was gunky. I cleaned it. I then removed & emptied gas tank. I cleaned the spark plug. I think my machine's parts are diff from the vid. But thanks to what I did learn, I got my mower running. Shops charge the cost of a mower to fix this problem, so I'm happy, It is running great now. Thank you!

  • Good video, seems tthe mechanic guy is very profesional.

  • I took the cup off and cleaned as you said, and trashed the old gas, out a new ring on and put it back together and bought new gas, and off it went!

    thanks!
