Greetings from Arizona, Hey, I installed the spring and now my wife says that I am chugging a lot less in the mornings. Maybe it is this American beer that is doing it. !

River says:

Have a happy healthy successful new year Steve

Lo Kim says:

My wife chugs and stalls. What's the fix?

newcoyote says:

See? Steve is smart. Most people say "RPMs" instead of the correct RPM like Steve. You wouldn't say revolutions per minutes, would you?
I know it sounds pedantic but it's just meant to be funny.

Wayne Essar says:

Would you please tell me the symptoms if the thermowax choke "thing" isn't working?
My Honda HRX mower starts great in warmer weather and as soon as the days get colder it's reluctant to start….it takes way more pulls.
Thanks!

William Grayson says:

Beer is good God is great and people are crazy some. Country singer great video thanks

Kirk Larson says:

Aka Vickypoint says:

Concerned Citizen says:

J. Chris Beck says:

hey there Steve, what make of chainsaw is that tiny one behind you ? (on my right.) I saw something similar for sale in my area recently, advertised as a Sears, but no model reference was given.
TIA, and love the channel.
~Chris~

Chris Dionisio says:

Great advice, Steve–thanks! I happen to have two Craftsman mowers with Honda engines so I'll be checking them to see if they need the new spring. Forgive a stupid question but would this apply to the Chinese Honda clones (Chonda) or is it just for straight Hondas? Happy New year to you and yours, and best for 2019!

Joe Atwork says:

Steve, I don't even have a Honda mower but I just enjoy watching you. Knowledge with a laugh, can't beat that. Hope you had a great Christmas and a better New Year.

martin blouin says:

hey Steve i was under the impression that you we're right here in Canuckistan, so where's the snowblower vidjaw hey!?

Marty McGill says:

Great video Steve, this is good info.

Ant says:

Not seen ya for a while. Merry Christmas. I got that engine, could you do an oil change and what oil is best to get?

wsfd4321 says:

Good video! It seems like Honda would have a recall on the affected engines that have this problem such that an authorized Honda dealer would do the fix for the customer free of charge.

jim s says:

Does this apply to pressure washers, too?
Thanks for the heads up.

Bill Lovett says:

Thank you for this Steve , I have been having problems with these. Love your channel keep it coming. Always a fan. Bill in Ottawa.

Willy The Mailman says:

Starts okay, chugs and then dies
The doctor told me that happens to men when the get older
Now I don't take my blood pressure medicine until after I "mow the lawn"
It seems to help
