Maybe you could forward this video to them....?

My roommate was from Milwaukee. He would regale me with tales of his Steven's Point shenanigans

@@roguedalek900 Ah yes, Steven's Point WI... I always here, and still do, that the high schools there were kinda a mess, but I had a friend who didn't mind it.

They way it was styled was half the reason I bought it. Very unique!

Two of my favorite youtubers visiting each other. Sweet.

@@TechGorilla1987 definitely are these two my favorites as well. :D

I was thinking it's Fallout style too, I love that art style. Like Mustie1's battery charger, Water Witch and generator.

Looks like a small section of a tractor hood.

Some old carbs had float level measurements. With the carb upside down and held square, the float should be level. If it is lower on the free end, follow the tip to bend the hinge slightly to level it.

the vibration alone of it running starting with no air pressure , would make the fuel splash violently inside the bowl, making a missing or bad bowl to body gasket leak all over ;)

also, the floats are generally parallel with the carb body when inverted and shut, so if you don't know the proper level that normally gets you close enough for the dinosaurs! yes I tend to weak with proper measurement know to within a 32nd to 64th of an inch, but even that can be skewed with float weight changes, like a hole, soldered weight, porous and absorbing(composite floats). very far from my 1st carb service, owned and rebuilt many of my own and uncountable numbers of others from tiny model craft to large racing size :)

I've found the brass floats are easily repaired by drilling a 1/16" dia hole at the leak site, roughing it up with sand paper and soldering it shut. Solder containing lead is best but others work as well with lots of flux. I was enjoying a bunch of your vids today.

Yeah, I hear what you're saying, but with the acetone, gasoline, oil and carb cleaner you really get the smells you need to get you through the day. Especially if you are a DIY mechanic ad hoc.

@@jesseparris6507 Yes I agree with the fumes and potential fires so I have a small covered area outside of the shop

Oh man I'm hoping he gets a 10 litre ultrasonic cleaner in the future

It's called a updraft carburetor

@@jesseparris6507 Omg lol!

when he hit the starter button i was thinking bring on the thunder (Vice Grip Garage )

AvE is one of my favorites too. I bet he's worked on some Schramm gear in his mining days.

@@wes11bravo: Maybe -- he is an engineer (salaried) and mining operations are heavily unionized; he would likely get into some trouble if he actually swung a wrench at work. I wouldn't be surprised if he oversaw work on Schramm gear, though.

Make it chooch

Skookum as frig

My thoughts as well.

I bet he does, prolly has the carb too =D

this is the same air compressor that runs his shop

Mustie would have had it straight into the sonic cleaner.

@@johnobiro5202 on his 50cc chainsaw engine lol

yes Wes I was thinking if I tried to solder that float id end up with a big ol hole in it lol surprisingly the nail polish seems to work fine.

Emory boards are likely to leave grit behind, which a points file won't do, but a few seconds of running should blow that out, and cutting off the board as it gets dirty seems like a decent plan.

Take the plug out of the side of it and scope it that's what I'd do

you want to be mesmorized,,watch sumerian tablet vids,,viper tv,,or revalation of the pyramids.. all before the bible was written..by man...!..

I love dinosaurs lol

Nice I love older equipment I have a 1948 Willys pickup and a 1955 International Harvester tthat I've rebuilt. I bought it from Conoco Wyoming in 1977 so I'm the second owner. I've the build ticket and the original manual

you have a crane truck you could use to take it off the truck

where's the video of the crane being used. have not only seen the engine being put in the truck

@@dancurrier6421 why does that matter? What's the big deal? He has a forklift at his home

Time is the hard one for me. I’m always jumping from project to project not always ones I can film either

@@DieselCreek aren't we all! Except the filming part.

Matt this compressor is a gem. Great job on the video.

Good thought but the gas can and does shake around in the gas bowl. I agree on trying to lowering the fuel level, if there is trash in the float it may be floating lower than it once had.

Exactly! Floats, needle and seat.

It starting with no choke and black spark plugs is a bit of a hint that it's over fueling . I agree with your comment 100% .

@@robertordewald8678 a

I’ve seen V8 engine compressors. Done on a small block Ford. One bank for power, the other bank for the compressor.

Yes lol but that was actually a year ago he unloaded it for me

.y

On a nice vintage service truck!! Hell ya!

@@DieselCreek Exactly! Like a 50's F4 or F450.

Yes it’s pretty big to be rolling and shaking tho. I will take care of that in the next video

@@DieselCreek Ratchet strap it to a tractor wheel and take it for a spin

Small world, my great grandmother on my dads side was a Schramm

Used to be a big company, someone said they were still in business

New York, western end

I just checked their website. Their new compressors are a bit higher output. The one on their T685 drill rig is 1150CFM at 500PSI. www.schramminc.com/product/t685-series/

M Major : I like your LOGO. FORD

@@52Ford i have a compressor just like this one only mine is RED ,mine was originally mounted on a Farm service /Coop truck,and had been used to run tire changing equipment ,it has an hour meter on it that reads 1164, i actually mounted this thing on a small trailer and pull it around with my garden tractor here at my acreage ,constantly getting used to run air jacks and impacts

they were used widely on many markets back when high current electric was sparse, more mobile work was done and in conversion from belt, shaft driven by hit-miss engines. all before my time, but I'm a rather mechanical that paid attention to surroundings over the years. even into the 90's and early 2000's much of that stuff was still n use in the backwoods of West Virginia and other areas. seen lots of it still in old sheds and barns, still used frequently!

@@throttlebottle5906 im from iowa and there are a lot of farms with this old equipment still in use or only recently retired .i'm somewhat of a collector of old engines ,especially oddball stuff ,,aside from small engines i have a collection of over 100 detroit diesel engines ,i even have one of the increasingly Rare GMC 702 V12 engines which up until 2011 was in service driving an irrigation pump this being rural area there is still a lot of mobile service work done here especially field work repairing tires on farm equipment and road service on trucks

Me too.

My thought about the carb bowl leak was that the height is off, allowing too much fuel in which then overflows; bending the tang holding the needle takes care of that.

Use a planer on both surfaces.

After a rainy date night with a cranky 74 impala, my wife (then girlfriend) presented me with my very own package of deluxe emery boards. I knew she was a keeper.🥰

I knew someone who worked in the mining industry, he used diesel fuel in dirty engine/sumps for the same purpose. He believed the diesel provided a bit more lubrication so was safer to use. However, do not rev the engine and never drive a vehicle like that.

I’ve heard lots of stories like that, I’m always too scared to do it myself

@@DieselCreek Granted it was at a time of engines like the model T, so clearances were sort 0f loose, and a person could change the bearings fairly easily. Also you should do like Richard Jones and NEVER run the engine fast or for very long.

That makes sense because the guy I got it from said his dad used it in a cemetery!

Likewise . I originally made a comment on how pretty it was but I’m now revisiting the video just to watch it again . Yes a girly girl likes diesel machines. My dad used to let my brother press the pedals whilst I had my head stuck in the engine asking a hundred questions. He had to give in and bought me my own set of feeler gauges , taught me to do a service and change a tyre as the brother trained to be a chef and I was the first female to be taken on in ITV’s Granada tv , Sound department . Anyways I had a wee look at the history of this compressor and was surprised to see the company is still trading . An interesting site called ‘ Smokstak ’ an antique engine community have a great thread on this and some cool pictures of these compressors that they are restoring .

Time for the old Gunk paint can of carb soak.. come back in a couple days to a mostly clean carb...

My uncle actually has one of those lol

Funny you mention a 302 Ford. In 1982 I replaced a V4 Wisconsin with a 302 and c4 auto in a New Holland hay stacker. Actually worked great until the old farmer I was working for rolled it with a full load making a sharp turn too fast. Only 3 days after weeks of work. He surprisingly survived without a scratch. Lol

A.O.SMITH COMPRESSERS

USED 4 CYLINDERS OF A FORD V 8 ENGINE

Yes this video down the shelf quite a while

I can’t like this comment enough… Throwaway society is so sad

@@DieselCreek With the exception of historical artifacts, though, it's time for the end of the ICE. I suppose the kinds of machines you feature here will be the last to go, though.

Yeah, me too. It will probably go something like this. "Hey Look at this cool Harbor Freight welder I found, I don;t think it's ever been used"...

It's already happening. Although it's electronics that the future generations will want to rescue. You should see what an 80's or early 90's PC goes for today and how many people want one

just imagine mountains of ipods, with some 140 yrs old guy,''i used to have a nokia 5610,i think,' be one in there somewhere..

And have a primitive oiling system. Not even supposed to use detergent oil in these engines says it right on there

No you can't use an o ring for a bowl gasket. On those old engines you have to use gasket paper. And tap around the bowl with a ballpeen hammer lightly. Then cut it out with a utility knife. Parts are hard as hell to find for those old Wisconsin engines. And they are expensive too.

@@danielfouardlibertarianono8017 that's to bad. I haven't delt with that type carburator before, but it looked like there was a cast part on the body that extended into the bowl that might hold an o-ring in place. Looking at the small lip on that carburator and bowl, that is a tough gasket to make. Hopefully adjusting the float will fix the problem so it doesn't leak bad.

be sure to come back now! haha have a good day!

JB weld is also a lot heavier than nail polish to it may cause the float to be too heavy

Awesome!

@@DieselCreek Mine is actually on a trailer, but took on some water sometime between when I got it, and when I got some parts in for it. Now I'm dealing with a stuck piston on the combustion side. Not sure how I'm gonna get this old girl unstuck, but I'm not giving up on her! She was spinning nice and free before this too! Here is a photo album of it: photos.google.com/share/AF1QipMhS4jJGcq-Xy3FhuHMDd1q7hE_8H8muElt2gDRoqNUgzvptPfUO-n7YwFw1b-EWA?key=Um4yVHZGM25ILS15VEozX3d2TW9JcHd5TUJ5dEx3

@@DieselCreek I've also got the original manual (or at least an OLD copied version) if you need any info.

@@XMotogodX I appreciate that! Hopefully it’s just the carb issue and then we’re good

@@XMotogodX I un-stuck an Oliver 60 by syphoning CRC-556 from a gallon can, and into each cylinder until they wouldn't take any more (don't syphon by mouth, that stuff tastes nasty 🤢). Mix of ATF and brake fluid worked for a VW diesel. Even WD-40, in desperation, on the backhoe. I'd say of all of them, the CRC worked the best. That Ollie was stuck hard, to the point where pulling the tractor with another wouldn't budge it. A day after filling the cylinders, I pulled the starter, put a 4 foot pry bar on the flywheel and popped it loose with the weight of my hands. Had it running well enough to load a few hours later, in spite of a messed up carburetor.

You can find quite a few on Amazon for under 200 bucks, if nothing else. They're game changers for cleaning parts with small passages like these!

Some other you tubebers use a cleaner. Musti One and Andy Camarrata

Yes I’d like to get one but don’t have the room for one currently

Yes, or I would have let that whole carb soak for a few days in some sort of cleaner.

Was just going to comment that Diesel and Mustie are my 2 favorite youtubers in regards to all things mechanical.
