Some day...

Thanks. The engine I was working on today must be deaf.

Totally agree.👍👍👍😁😁😁

What a great find. Love it!!!!Nice job getting it going

I never leave equipment outside. Drilling holes is a good idea. I need to sharpen those blades...

Yes, if I start!

Nice.

electrical problems - you already said old Jaguar you're just being redundant.

Yes. Was going to sell it like everything else. But if they keep helping like that, then I will keep it.

Thanks

I had a troy-bilt chipper years ago that was newer then this one with a Briggs. I ended up selling it from lack of use. But I really likes how fine this one chipped, not to mention how excited the kids were to feed it. Will definitely keep it.

You bet

Thanks

Thanks

yeah they'd sell it for parts and want $100+ where I live

Right!

Where i live they would have wanted $300 for it the way it was.

Jeff Vickers pplppooooopppppoooooooopppppppp

I live amid Trump Supporters. They throw away incredible stuff. Every season I get 7-8 big stainless bbq’s and 5-6 riding mowers.

Yea, I never see any small engine power equipment left out for the trash. It must depend on where you live.

Might not be long for this world. The oil change did not go well. Had a metallic look.

Thanks. I think that is the OD I used. Ordered it by mistake a couple months back. Glad I did. Thanks for the tip!

Thanks. It was my son who talked me into turn around. I actually had groceries in the back of my car. Was a tight fit. Did not break the eggs.

Thanks

I have some in the queue for those days that I recorded this summer.

@@jcondon1 hey I watched almost all your videos and I learned a lot from them. Question, what solutions do you use in your ultrasonic cleaner? Thanks hear from you soon

@@syro25 Harbor Freight Super Heavy Duty Degreaser.

@@jcondon1 thanks brother

Thanks. Hope you feel better soon!

What, I forgot to torque a bolt! What crack? May not last much longer anyway. The second oil change did not look great. Either was a little more water or metallic. I have been accused or torquing my tooth past tube to 5 in/lbs. Not true! torque wrench does not go that low.

@@jcondon1 I'm pretty sure it was at least two. The carb bolts, or nuts that hold the air box on. It feels like a week ago since I wrote that, I've watched you work on another handful of generators since then, but I'm pretty sure that was with a regular ratchet. Also you point out the crack early in the video. You do great work and though I typically work on outboards I'm looking for a generator right now just to try my hand.

Thanks

Thanks! Been looking to pickup a ketchup bottle. With my luck my kids would use it thinking there was ketchup in it.

@@jcondon1 Try Mustard?

Thanks

Same here. They go for a lot of money. Even one like this that has seen better days.

Plastic yeah. Seriously what's next... paper cams?

@@crisprtalk6963 right?.

Was not aware of that. Will check it out. I am sure they are in need.

Thanks

Thanks

Thanks

Don’t blame you. We had a few weeks of that heat and just turning a wrench was brutal. Of course the opposite happens in January and February. Do not like working outside much at that time of year.

Yes, but you can just wear extra clothing in Jan/Feb to keep warm.

@@jcondon1 The other day I grabbed a wrench and it was so hot I had to drop it...

Thanks for the feedback. I agree that would be safer. I never do that with two-cycle stuff. Four cycle can handle it better, but agree two stroke mix would be a lot better, especially since a lot of this stuff has not run in a while.

@@jcondon1 Didn't hurt it. The bigger concern was the water in the oil. Worse if it were gas so check the stick very closely by sight and smell. You can use good used oil for testing if you want to just drain it for inspection. That carb was nasty! Excellent job cleaning it

Most starting fluids have lubricant in then now days. But carb cleaner is a no no.

I like to use the ether I have by the bedside for starting engines. No lubricant but they start, one way or the other!

‘Speeds and feeds’. If it’s a big mouthful, take your time and take small bites…

Thanks

Need to sharpen the blades...

Have not replaced a pump yet. Usually the parts cost exceeds the value of the washer. Made a video once trying to repair a pump. That was a fail.

Thanks will look to sharpen those blades.

Thanks, will look into that.

Yes, that is possible. Or I could also do some sort of mending plate. Currently it is not causing an issue.

Thanks for the tip. Will try that next time.

I am thinking the flywheel nut may not be tight enough. Theoretically the key just sets the alignment and the nut should hold it all in place. Also might check the parts diagram. Sometimes there is a washer that goes between the flywheel and cup. Maybe something is missing?

@@jcondon1 thanks for the reply, the nut was also what I thought as the key sheared again after I'd fixed it once - however it had been running okay for a while between failures. The second time I did it up super tight (hence now not being able to remove the flywheel!) - it seemed to run fine without the mass of the chipper wheel but as soon as I added that I think the momentum of it caused the key to shear due to a mis-fire which in turn jolted the crank - the flywheel key has done its job but I'm wondering if there is a mixture issue which caused it to misfire? Removing the flywheel is also a pain as I need the 'official' remover from Briggs or the tip a local mower place showed me which was to whack the shaft with a copper mallet (which I also don't have) whilst someone held on to the whole machine by the flywheel! On reflection I decided it could wait as using up fuel to chip and shred isn't urgent for me as I can just pile up the waste and let it decompose. Some mulch would be useful one day however!

Thanks 👍

Thanks. Just noticed that when editing the video that the other bowl had that bump, it would have worked better. Can always switch it out. I think I also installed the needle wire the wrong way (more prone to leaking). Would love to get into heavier stuff someday (larger gensets), but that would require some drastic re-tooling. Still just a hobby for me. This does not pay the bills.

@@jcondon1 When you can score a gen for $25 and sell it for $400 and up, it helps. Like to find those a few times a week : )

And at 13:56 he explained that it was normal looking at first

@@LJT7907 you got me there 😉

I have had surprises like that before. Oil was full but dark. Water must have been sitting in the bottom just waiting to get mixed in.

@@jcondon1 A narrow plastic pipe down the dipstick tube can be used to check if water is at the bottom of the oil sump. But be careful that you don't suck too hard :)

I put seafoam in whenever i get gas. Never have a bit of trouble. If it's going to sit for awhile i'll run it out of fuel

So it's a "rescue"!

You can see the green wires here. One connects to the block and the other the throttle assembly. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d5t0q7masr-5qHk.html
