I saw my first blown Quantum yesterday. The rod let go of the crankshaft 😲 I see Hondas like that once a week but never a Quantum

It is nice. It had a new home 20 minutes after I listed it(I sell them pretty close to cost)

I just like getting them running. Mine will be gas until I can't buy parts for the last one

We've got to have options, being geezers!@@GuysPlayingWithTools

We... geezers? Do you have a mouse in your pocket? I am not a geezer yet. 🤣 (But getting closer every day)

NO silly. WE as in us HERE, not as we as in you and Me. You're FAR from geezerdom, pal. Not yall too unless you want under the dark cloud of geezerdom-ish-ness-ed.@@GuysPlayingWithTools

I Joking aside, I hope I get to live long enough to be a geezer. Being a geezer means you had a good, long life. 🙂

At least once a day, I get a comment on one of the carb videos that says that video helped someone get theirs running. It's always the carb 🤣 That mower was a nice one.

I was told to try it a couple years ago by Stella and have used it since then. It won't change the metal color and that's a bonus

I love these motors. I had my first blown Quantum motor this week... not a drop of oil in it

@@GuysPlayingWithTools that is the one you scraped? I probably would have tried to fix it. Probably a bad idea. I need to focus my resources better. But I still suffer from the idea I can save them all.

@haneyoakie14 I sold 2 for parts last week, a Toro and a Honda. The Honda had a hole in the block, and the Toro(with a Quantum motor) had the piston in the pipe, but it wasn't attached to the crank anymore.

There is a balance. I have scrapped 2 over the last week or so. One wasn't worth saving and the other had a blown piston

@@GuysPlayingWithTools okay thanks for the info on what you have to throw in the scrap yard 😕😔

Knowing when to stop is important. If a machine isn't worth fixing, you have to walk away and move on to the next one. There is always another machine around the corner

@@GuysPlayingWithTools you got that right bill 💸💵🤑

Yup. I have pulled new parts off of more than one mower/chainsaw/weedeater When I realized it's was a money pit. I have no problem walking away

I have used that same spool of floral wire for over 2 years, and sometimes I use it to hang Christmas decorations outside... it's the never-ending wire. That is a 3 year old Hart bit set I use 3 times a day and it still has all the bits 😁. I prefer it over the more expensive sets because the bits stay in their spots better than the rest, and it's a pretty complete set for small motor work. I am adding a metric set when I find one I like

@@GuysPlayingWithTools Ok cool I have the Hart tools will look at adding this to the collection ✔️

@@bigsonslawncare I have 3 sets and this is both the cheapest($15) and the best. if you accidentally roll it over the bits stay in. If it had metric drivers it would be perfect(that's a different set)

Oh no, Big Son is looking to start trouble on this channel now! Lol. 😂😮 🤞

@@rogermcdonald1607 ROGER!!!

I found that 20% Pine Sol and 80% tap water works best. More Pine Sol makes it work a little better but anything over 20% is overkill. Side note: Only use the original yellow Pine Sol or you will have to change it out every time. The assorted scented versions aren't as good and can change the color of the metal.

@@GuysPlayingWithTools I’ll try that. Also, Pine Sol will repel rodents.

@@EverydayProjects AND... it makes your garage smell nice LOL

It took me a minute to like them. They have fewer problems than most, and that turned me into a fan. 👍
