Most Common Riding Mower Engine Problems

In "Grandpa's Lil Helper", Taryl goes over the most popular and common riding mower engines he sees and each of their most common issues. Taryl sees a lot of these engines so he knows what the most common things are to check out. Before and After the fix, local grandpa, Gary, brings his grand son Johnny to the lawn mower shop. After little Johnny's imagination runs wild he decides to "fix" grandpa's lawn mower. See how it all plays out in this hilarious and very informative how-to video from your pals at Grass Rats Garage!

I’m on my 2nd 24 hp Briggs & Stratton engine. Until I watched your channel the John Deere dealer won’t even look at either machine because of bent push rods. I viewed your other video on V-twin Briggs engines and ordered a new head and push rods. I did the work and saved a $3000 mower with a new $200 dollar head thanks to you. Much appreciated, Taryl.

Taryl, when it comes to passing on knowledge about repairing all sorts of small engine driven machines you are "The Man". You have the best site by far when it comes to passing on how to repair and troubleshoot this equipment, so much better than anything else on the internet. You make the manufacturer sites look like kindergarten and you have fun showing us to do the repairs. There is nothing like a man with the knowledge and practical experience to teach someone how to do something. Keep up the good and fun work!

This one had me laughing out loud so much, my son left his video games (darn miracle) to come see what was going on.
Taryl & the crew just keep getting better and better. My favorite channel by far.
Little Johnny for "employee of the month"

[sirtomasin]

Taryl, you're the man! I've watched countless videos of yours. They are very fun and informative. You have helped me through a lot of my mower issues. A true master! THANKS!

[jimmyconner]

Taryl, Thank's for showing different engines and the different problems with them.

[leonascherer]

I can sit here and watch your very informative videos and learn a lot from your experience as a repair dude. Thanks for taking my mind to a really fun place.

[victoryfirst]

So nice for you to inform us all on YouTube with this knowledge that few can explain in a straightforward fashion. Keep up the great work too.

Taryl, you are so good! My mommer's John Deere has the Intek engine with the plaskit plentum. Twice now, the old gas has gummed up the carbitrator wear the sillinoid shuts off the gas. There is a white plaskit plug that the sillinoid pulls back to let the gas in, but when it's gummed up, it just sets there. She'll run all day if yore spraying carb cleener in, but just won't run on her own till you free up that plaskit thang operated by the sillinoid. You know, I used to think the Krohler engines was the cat's pajamas, but I see now you've had all kinds of truble with 'em. Keep up the good work my friend. You are a Small Engine Superhero in my book!

I have learned about Kohler Command engines which I have a 16 horse power. I own a Dixon 4516 and she is pretty good for grass cutting. I've recently tuned it up with a gas filter, air filter kit, a spark plug, and four tires. Could use blades, belts, and pulley's looked at too. Your videos are A+ #1 for us do it yourselfer's. You have a unique sense of humor and a host of loony tune folk to pull it off. Kudos to Taryl, Taryl Jr., Slippers, and crew for a good time had by all.

[jaryljackderriere]

Taryl, you crack me up singing that old Nikki Sixx song "Junk, Junk, Junk" but you are so right. Excellent job covering all the common problems on lawn tractor engines.

[ScottMiller-tugg]

Your knowledge astounds me! You have the best, most informative videos on YouTube by far! Your helpful information is always appreciated! I would take my equipment to you for repairs in a heartbeat! Keep up the great work!

[charleshills]

Thanks. Your video’s got me through my digs & scratching V tech carbatraitor rebuild to stop my surging problem. All done sounds solid. Thanks again.

[wildefox]

Great and informative video Taryl, thanks for sharing the most common lawn tractor engines and showing their most common problems. The little Johnny bit was hilarious! The Briggs opposed twins are my favorite lawn tractor engines.

[robadams]

I don’t really give a shit about any of this stuff but I could listen to Tarrell talk forever. Well done!

[stillwater]

Taryl, You are a wealth of knowledge, and a comedian all rolled into one. Always great videos. Thanks for taking the time to share your hard earned knowledge with us mere mortals.
