"While any 1/2 reasonable mechanic should be able to repair small engines, there are a lot of little things that once known make the difference between profit & loss.
If you have no idea of what you are doing Taryls vids might be encouraging, but the lack of detail and the ommissions make them problematic."
Agreed....I guess cleaning with that heavy wire brush is do-able in experienced hands if you just tickle it but with a novice it can go very wrong!....I have never had one back as yet looking for another head gasket or guides but have some in needing a second gasket due to a sloppy first fix I presume giving the hours work on mower between them....cam lobes are ify on these IMO....400hrs on one just in, back firing etc....
