The neighbors: "God this guy likes mowing"

Revisiting your old videos really shows how far you've come along as a presentator

Great video. I've run 50:1 synthetic mix in all of my powered equipment for more than a decade with zero issues. One fuel container in the garage for both 2 and 4-stroke engines, no chance to put straight gas in one of the 2-strokes.

My Dad passed in 2019. We use to work on cars alot together. I feel less confident working on projects than I use to. These videos help with a lot of questions an got me back into the garage. I have a tv in the garage for troubleshooting projects an usually have project farms playing on it while I'm working on stuff. Thanks for your time an amazing quality videos much appreciated.

Legend has it his grass has never been tall

This man is the mortal enemy of spark plugs everywhere.

I have never hesitated to use premix in my lawn mower when I run out of straight gas. Never a problem. Good way to use up premix at the end of the season.
-
Channels like this are why I love Youtube. Just a dude chilling out doing crazy stuff to lawnmowers.

Been doing this for years - running 50:1 premix (marine 2-stroke oil + premium gas + Motorkote) in all my lawn equipment rather than having to mix up a small 40:1 batch for my snowblower, a 50:1 batch for my weed whacker and leaf blower, and keep a container of straight gas for my mowers. I mix up a big fresh batch of the 50:1 every year, and at the end of the year the remainder (if any) goes into my car with no ill effect. Anyway, very informative video as always.

Can you make the engine run on politician's lies? That would be a colossal and continuous source of fuel.

The best thing about you is: You Do What You Love - Definition of a Successful Man.

With every one of your video's I watch, even these older ones, my respect for you goes up and up. Mad respect and please keep up your fantastic work!

I bet yer neighbors thought your mower was sick cause it had an iv bag
-
It would be interesting to see how different spark plugs affect the operating temperature. For example NGK BR9ES vs BR8ES
-
I got one for you... run nitro RC fuel in a diesel engine, 2 stroke engine, and a 4 stroke motor to see what happens.
-
I love your videos! I have learned so much about small engines, etc. Keep up the good work! This is definitely one of my most favorite YouTube channels!

In a "lawnmower" or "snow blower" type of 4 cycle engine- the most you're going to do is smoke up the exhaust (like a chainsaw or edge trimmer). When you use 2 cycle oil mixed gasoline in a 4 cycle VEHICLE engine that has O2 sensor(s) and catalytic converter(s) that's what will plug up and cause failure. An old pre EFI carbureted engine would just have a smoky exhaust, no real damage done.
-
If u can, find a small 2 stroke motor and try running the recomended oil gas mix for that motor but use marvel mystery oil as the oil in the mix Like if u agree
-
@ Project Farm You are a YouTube scientist! I really appreciate you doing all the stuff I can't afford to do and answering all those burning questions rattling around my head. Keep up the good work!

LOL, my spouse bought 40:1 mix TruFuel instead of 4-stroke and I googled to find out if I could use it in a 4-stroke. Of course you were the one to cover it. Neat seeing the evolution of your editing and presentation style. The tighter editing and delivery and higher energy style you use now is really good.
