WOW!! You Won't Believe What's Wrong With This Lawn Mower

I just picked up a free lawnmower Facebook  marketplace the only thing the description said on   the ad was free lawn mower needs fixed don't know  what you guys want to see what was wrong with this   thing you guys want to see the best smoke show  you ever saw in your life whoo stay tuned for that everybody thanks for tuning in again if you're  new around here there's my website address    stevessmallenginesaloon.com check that out when you  get a chance so I couldn't go pick this thing   up fast enough I went and grabbed it and I  got it home first thing I did of course go   grab my camera cause I learned my lesson a  couple videos ago on that grab my camera   pulled it out my truck had everything set  up and I just checked a few things on this   I checked the fuel and the fuel looks really  clean there's no water in the bottom of it   smells nice and fresh and I pulled it over  and it's it felt like it had a really good   compression it wasn't seized or anything  like that and then I checked the oil the   oil level look at this there's full there's  your full mark and there's where the level is this thing is over full of oil about  that much so I fired my camera up I   said let's see if this thing runs  check this out watch what happens okay there's no mosquitoes around here anymore  wow that is crazy I could see that I haven't seen   that bit of a smoke show for a very long time  and then as soon as I shut it off and as soon   as I did that there was oil dripping right out  of the air filter right down here and not only   that but right where the muffler comes out right  where the exhaust comes out of the muffler here   look at the top of the deck it's splattered with  engine oil coming out of the muffler right there   so yeah what do you think too full of engine oil  I checked the air filter check this out here's   the air filter it's soaked in oil about 50% when  I troubleshoot something I try to fix one thing   at a time if you think you have a problem with  something and you think maybe it's three different   reasons and you fix all three of them you take it  outside and it runs fine you're always going hmm   I wonder what which one of those things actually  fixed it you don't really know so fix one thing   at a time what I'm gonna do first right here is  just lower the engine oil down to the full mark   and then we'll try it again and see what happens  as a matter of fact I'm gonna stick that old air   filter right back in there again remember one  thing at a time okay I got that air filter back   on there I drained the engine oil out look how  much oil I pulled out look at that that is how   much oil I had to pull out to get it down to the  full mark that's how much overfilled it was that's   a lot of well to be over filled in one of these  things well let's take it outside and try it then well I think that's good enough that was a long  time right there I think we fixed it that is how   easy that was to fix no parts required took very  little amount of time to do that that's all I did   was drain the engine oil down to the full mark  yeah I know it should have another air   filter put on it and yeah that's not exactly clean  oil I should do an engine oil change on this too   but this thing works absolutely perfectly this is  not a very old lawnmower I checked the numbers   on the side of the engine block this thing's not  even a year old it was bought this year this thing   is brand new the blade doesn't even need sharpened  on it it's so new so that being said guys I got a   little bit of a dilemma here I actually feel bad  I actually feel horrible to be honest with you   that this was so easy to fix and it was a lady  that I got it from not that that matters but I   would really appreciate it if you guys would put  some comments down right underneath this video   and tell me what you think I should do I really  feel like I want to just contact her back again   and say hey this was a simple fix do you need a  lawnmower do you want it back I'll bring it back   to you no charge she lives 10 minutes away from  me should I do that should I just say hey too bad   and just sell it I don't need another lawnmower  I could probably sell this thing for $200 what   do you think I should do put some comments down  let me know I'm just trying to do the right thing   here so at least give me the thumbs up button for  that nothing else hit that like button subscribe   to my channel if you already haven't share this  with your friends man I get lucky on this stuff   don't I you want to see another where's those  horseshoes again you want to see another video   where I got really lucky check this out $50  generator you're gonna like that one click   on that one next until the next time guys oh  yeah Dab Beer German beer dee-licious Steve out
