Incredible Vintage Wisconsin Engine - Will It Run?
Рет қаралды 341,971
2 жыл бұрынIn "Scruffy Won't Take Closed For An Answer", Taryl obtains this vintage Wisconsin engine from Elk Skins and sees if he can get it running. Parts are hard to come by so he'll try his best to get this old reliable engine running off what little he has. Can he make it work? Taryl IS the MacGyver of small engines, but sometimes even MacGyver faces some pretty tough challenges that he may or may not be able to overcome... Tune in for that!
Prior to and after the attempt, Taryl has to exit the shop to aid Junior who's broke down on a pick-up before local yokel Scruffy comes by in a hurry. He sure gets angry and decides to take it out on a customer's mower when he thinks that Taryl's not opening the door for him. See how it all plays out in this hilarious yet educational how-to video from your pals at Grass Rats Garage. Another classic that's bound to make you smile and knowledge that will stick with you forever. And as always... There's Your Dinner!!

This channel really does deserve an Emmy award. This is the best diy, "program", on the, "airwaves". All due respect to Musti1 who does his videos sans a cameraman and certainly is a contender. In my opinion the videography gives Taryl and the grassrats crew the edge . Acting, characters and skits aside.

This brings back 1976 shop apprentice memories. Getting yelled at for using the boss’s extra thin Snap-on tapped wrenches to loosen a rusted deck bolt. “Not my Wisconsin tappet wrenches you numb skull!” Today I could sue, and own the shop for being traumatized. Well at least I remember what a tappet wrench is.

Every think about getting a rear engine snapper and weld/mount an engine mounting plate to the front? You'd have a drivable test frame. You could make the engine mount a bit higher so you're not constantly stooped over working on an engine. Then when you're done you could drive the test frame out of the shop and park it next to MoTow.

Hey Taryl, Just wanted to thank you for a suggestion you gave regarding cleaning up valve seats using emery cloth and the valve to mimic the angle of the seat, to clean them up. It worked like a charm. Working on a Wisconsin ABS engine, virtually zero compression. Thanks to your recommendation, it has compression now!!!! Thanks you Sir!! Your videos are awesome by the way!! 👍🏻👍🏻

I have taken to watching everything and anything you create, even if I have no direct interest in the subject simply because I so enjoy your antics. I recently took to restoring lawn tractors as a hobby, just one at a time and selling them cheap, then starting over. Your programs have proven invaluable to these efforts. Please take yourself to a local purveyor of libations and treat yourself to a "cold beverage" on me. I actually won't be paying for it, but know that my heart is in the right place (even if my wallet isn't).

50 years ago I owned a 180amp lincoln dc arc welder with a vertical twin 10.5hp wisconsin. it was crank start. when I had a intake valve stick(always the same one). I would remove the spark plug and shoot oil on the stem. then exercise it(pushing it shut with a bent screwdriver) after just a bit it always started. these old wisconsin engines are great.

When I was a kid we had one of those that ran a compressor with a clutch. Mounted on an old lube truck. I was checking out the engine, setting points, ect. I removed the distributor cap and pushed electric start button to check the points and it fired right up with no cap! I swear it ran better with it off! Of course spark was jumping all over the place but we sure got a good laugh over that one!

I like to use a spray bottle with 2 stroke gas to mist the intake with fuel. Its much cheaper then carb spray and it's better for the engine plus it provides some lubricant for the top end. I know Taryl has been doing it this way for 40 years with zero issues. 😄love the videos!
@Hjerte_Verke 10 ай бұрын
Carb cleaner spray and even starting fluid (ether) are basically volatile solvents so using them on an engine that has been sitting for decades is not recommended because they dissolve whatever oil remnants might remain in the top end, but in the grand scheme, you're being super over-cautious. Rest assured, a friendly-to-the-channel channel, Mustie1, does indeed practice what you suggest. He uses two-cycle fuel as his go-to starting fluid.

Around 51:50 it looked like the engine block was a spark plug. When Taryl missed sprayed above intake. I saw sparks shoot out of that spot (by intake) then around points box and made it's way to the muffcan/exhaust. Unless that was fake? I hope it was. It came close to igniting the starting fluid "mist". Glad it didn't. Stay safe Taryl and love the videos!
