This video is a complete restoration of a 100 year old Maytag Model 92 washing machine engine.
ABOUT THE OIL: There is an error in the video. You should use 30 weight non-detergent oil mixed at 16 to 1. Thanks to the community for pointing that out.

My grandparents had a washing machine in the 1930s & 1940s that they hooked up to the rear drive hub on their Ford (Model A?) by a series of pulleys & belts. They had no electricity in their part of the state until the 1950s. My dad said it worked very well. Friends & neighbors traded goods & services to have a chance to do their laundry with that machine.

That is very true, so many good things get thrown away. I recently bought a Honda 125 three wheeler from a junk yard for $100. In just a few days it was up and running and I was having a blast on it. Lost causes are the most enjoyable projects.

I do like your video, nice job. But even the most advanced and expensive synthetic two stroke oil at 30:1 is terribly inadequate lubrication for the soft bronze rod and crank bearings in these engines.

Great restoration until you used that impact on the flywheel nut, don’t ever ever ever use a impact on any of these engines unless you really need to, especially that flywheel nut. And richen up your mixture, 30:1 isn’t good enough, should be 16:1 with non detergent 30w oil. Even with a cleaned and restored Maytag I still run non detergent 30w it’s the best for these

@@xSpecterx99999999 Not to argue, however, yes….Modern oils are better than back in the day, but these modern oils are also formulated for modern machines. Not machines built 80-90 years ago. The gentleman I bought my 92 from cautioned me on using the proper oil/mix for these Maytag engines. He stated, nothing but regular 30 weight motor oil at 16 to 1 ratio, and nothing else….Especially not formulated 2 cycle oil. He’s been collecting and rebuilding these for years, and his reasoning makes sense. A very nice restoration though!!

Make sure the points are opening and closing. If you leave the cover off the flywheel and turn it. You can see the points open as the opening goes over them. It is also possible they are stuck in the open position. Did you set the points gap?
