might want to pull the spark plug next time you use the starter to move something, engine will spin faster and starter doesn't have to fight compression.

Other than needs a bigger gas tank,sweet little digger of a machine.give it a fresh paint job and flip it.good for small home jobs.someone will take it.!!!😊😊😊😊😊

@giggitygiggitygoofg6069 Ай бұрын

First thing I would do with that digger would be to replace the engine with a real engine, maybe a little 2 or 3 cylinder diesel engine. You can pick those engines up for dirt cheap if you go about it the right way. Buying an old piece of machinery from the scap man Just for the engine I've seen people on KZfaq buying old rosd rollers, mowers, rotorvators etc for literally a couple hundred dollars that are rusting bags of junk but under the crap can be done a nice little diesel motor. A Deutz engine would be perfect as it has its cooling package built into the motor. The boom on that excavator should swivel if the cab doesn't rotate. Thats perhaps wot that pedal is for.

Yeppers! Get yourself a small bottle with a sprayer and gasoline in it. Ether (starter fluid) is a last resort, I have seen more than one engine instantly ruined with ether. To each their own but I only use it diesel engines and then small squirts. Sometimes the school of hard knocks is the best teacher. Terrible place to earn a degree!

We call people like you a da. Take out plugs lube the cylinder. Don't leave it in gear when starting. Check oils. Slow down. Let it warm up before moving it. Move it slowly. dont cause more damage by rushing. Dont burn out the starter. Check the spark plug. There is a reason for all this because others in the past taught us by making the mistakes. We care if you burn out the starter. You spend a lot of time on these videos. Dont loose good watchers over small easly fixed issues. Be successful with good choices. Thanks for the video
