these are filmed horribly! Take a lesson from Mythbusters TV show...whenever someone is working with their hands, you NEVER show a zoomed out shot. Gimme a close up!! Also, the slow zooming is for the birds...this is not a wedding video, come on! When he is explaining how to do something, we only need to see framed up close what he is doing, we dont need to see his his entire shop zoomed out. My guess is the producer tried to save a little money and hired inexperienced videographer. I do this for a living, I would have had my HD camera, 5 inches away from his hands 80% of the time, and another person operating a boom/shotgun mic overhead.
hatshe was right we really didnt show us how too?
Some close ups of the carburetor would have helped.
How can anyone get any benefit from this video? You can't seen a darn thing. All I see of the carb area is a black hole. Not too helpful.
This video is about worthless--it's more focused on the speaker and not close enough to the item being discussed. People should use some common sense about how to make these videos.
Tri-Flow Superior Lubricant works really well on my lawn mower. I have found the WD40 actually wheres down the metal parts.
The videos are good and have taught me some things. However, two things I think are clearly missing. It should be stressed to inexperienced people messing with a lawn mower 1)Disconnect the spark plug before sticking your hand under the mower deck! 2)The blade must be extremely tight. These two issues can be very dangerous.
i thought it was good
Lawn Mower Repair and Maintenance Tips: My name is Don. My five year old lawn mower died and I was about ready to take it to the dump, as I have done in the past, and go buy a new one. But this time I decided to check the net to see if I could information about repairing a lawn mower myself. I found Peter's videos and my first reaction was, "That looks exactly like my lawn mower." I watched the whole series of videos and followed his instructions for replacing the air filter and cleaning the carburetor. And sure enough everything was just as he described. The one thing he didn't mention was what to do if the carburator gasket needs replacing, and mine did. I called the manufacture and they wanted part numbers, etc. which I didn't have because I lost the owner's manual long ago. I called a couple of local mower repair shops and was told to "bring it in and we'll fix it." But luckily I did find a local repair facility for "riding mowers" and they knew exactly what I needed. I went there got the gasket, a new air filter, and spark plug and reassembled the mower following Peter's instructions. I put in some new gas, gave it a pull and VOILA! It cranked immediately and purred like a kitten. Following the video instructions made the job very easy - and I saved myself a bunch of money. I highly recommend the videos for lawn mower repair, even for the "mechanically challenged" like myself.
He didn't sharpened the blade - he only said that it has a good edge on it now - huh???
