Не занимайся больше этим!

[@MikeZMonroe]

I still have my Sears edger trimmer. No longer use it and not tried starting it for years. Could be the exact same model as this one. It sure did a super job trimming curbs and sidewalks. Clean, restore, rebuild doesn’t matter as a non mechanic there’s no way I could have done this. This video brought back fond memories of my manicured lawn. Thanks for sharing.

[@ابنبطوطه-ك6ك]

I don’t understand why any one would dislike this ?! The man did a great work.

[@rexmericle5068]

Few things build character in a young man like a pull start rope can. Ignore the negative comments. Great clean up and you got it running. Who knows, one day you may be standing over a 1000hp dragster! Well done young man!

[@rafaelmiceli4633]

Your grandfather was a hero, in fact, cleaning that engine in the mud should not be easy . ( Brazil)

[@tcmtech7515]

Over the years I have rescued a bunch of small engine from the scrap yard while talking in loads of iron and I can say it's a great way to get a small engine for less than $10. If you fond one that spins by hand and has compression with no obvious knocking sound or obvious damage the odds are you got a good engine. Fact is most end up there due to the carburetors being gummed up/diaphragms stiff or the old points and condenser ignition system needing attention or just because whatever they were attached to having worn out. The only downside is if they came in with a load of scrap iron that got unloaded with the big magnet cranes they might have wiped out the magnets on the flywheel so you may need to keep that in mind if you get one that everything checks out but still wont start.

[@christianpaul3303]

Use your torque driver to turn shaft - forget all that pulling. Cool video!

[@franzotto448]

Gute Arbeit, hat mir gefallen. Wenn du mal wieder so einen Motor in Arbeit hast, Zylinder abdecken oder einen dicken Lappen rein stopfen. Ich weiß von was ich rede. Good job, I liked it. When you have another engine in the works, cover cylinders or stuff a thick rag. I know what I'm talking about.

[@chevylife777]

The fact that pull starter still works is beyond my recognition lol pull starters always break so easily

[@Atlantismonkey40]

Nice clean up. Don’t listen to the bad comments. Everybody started somewhere. The fact that you fixed what didn’t work is the point.

[@DavidDiBonaWoodworking]

no it was not. if you watch the video you would see were it was from.

[@xcaliberwolf6090]

@TheJR1948 did you read the description? It says this was passed down to him from his grandfather, he also proceeded to say that his grandfather had to clean cylinder heads for generators that were crucial to communication. He didn't mention that that was this specific engine. He even has the owners manual that says it was off an edge trimmer not generator.

[@JackScurlock]

@TheJR1948 The money you take from welfare is stolen also. Go away or post a video showing your skills. Have a great day fussing about other people. captjack

[@slrn832472577]

@TheJR1948 WARNING... I wont be as nice as the other people who have made comments about your comment. I have 2 questions In the title it says "1980 Small Engine Restoration" Question 1: What dimension do you live in where the main fighting in the Korean war was happening in the 1980's? (no, watching M.A.S.H re-runs from the 1980's does not count). In the 1980's, as we still are today, we simply guarded the south side of a line on a map and the north guarded the north side of the same line on the same map. I'm quoting from the description section "This engine was given to me by my grandfather. He talks about how in the Korean war he would have to clean the head cylinder on the generator that ran the radio systems. while making this video all I could think about is what it would be like out in the mud working on a small engine that was crucial for the Infantry to communicate." Question 2: Where in that short statement does it say that this engine is the engine his grandfather worked on in Korea? I'll be cool and give you the answer to my question. Here it comes ...now watch, be ready... It doesn't, therefore your statement makes you look like just another armchair lawyer who has never been to law school.

[@dinkchow]

I have a '69 B&S edger that runs like a champ. I restored it with a new spark plug and air filter.

[@mschiffel1]

Good job....Once you get it to run, never make any carb adjustments until the engine's at operating temperature. They run much better when they're fully warmed up, and will be more sensitive to fine tuning.

[@boongerdjomphra5194]

Very good 👍👍👌👌

[@garymucher9590]

I actually rebuilt one of those Tecumseh 3HP horizontal engines myself as well. New piston, rings, con rod, lap the valves, new gaskets and carb and even a used engine casing, since the original threw a rod through the case. Runs great now on the edger, but I bought a 6HP Ariens edger anyway.

[@cngcuong802]

Bạn làm hay lắm. Cố lên!!!

[@baldeagle242]

Awesome video! I love doing the same thing. You have a new sub! 🦅🇺🇸

[@TheWadetube]

It was great seeing you clean and assemble this in hyper speed. Some narration would have been good or even written instructions on what challenges and hurdles you had to overcome and also how to set the timing is important if it is not automaticaly set by the shaft key.

[@stevothegreat]

That is the quickest hands i never saw before working on engine , nice video

[@christopherfonseka7385]

I like that work, I like small engines.

[@jobelb.garcela9476]

Nice show of your passion of mechanical work ! How I wish I could bring to you our 1970's 3.2 HP Honda Water Pump for re-tune up. 😳

[@DavidDiBonaWoodworking]

Thank you and stay tuned my next video coming out its a old Briggs 3 hp water pump.

[@MirceaD28]

You should have clean the valves. But you did a great job and that engine has a new life because of you.

[@Sawta]

I would have liked to seen the engine broken down fully, but if it works, it works. Looking forward to more vids. :)

[@KensSmallEngineRepair]

Just an FYI the reason an impulse type carb was on there was so that it could run at a slight angle (eg, a tiller). The carb you put on is a float type which doesn't like being run at an angle. Just an FYI. Love the video. Those old Tecumsehs will never die.

[@theninja376]

Good job buddy

[@baileysbootstraps8170]

Lovely ! Sounds like my Mondeo.

[@DavidDiBonaWoodworking]

For all the people that don't know what restoration means here is the definition. Therefor a coat of paint implies that it was restored. res·to·ra·tion /ˌrestəˈrāSH(ə)n/Submit noun 1. the action of returning something to a former owner, place, or condition. "the restoration of Andrew's sight" therefor a coat of paint implies that it was restored.

[@peter7166]

Brother, I want you to know that your video is of a help that you cannot imagine, it turns out that I am in Venezuela and the dictatorship of mature tries to keep the country without light so that nobody sees the reality in social networks the food that I get is damaged by this lack of electricity I am a father and I have daughters and you can imagine what one cares about them and their food, I managed to recover in a house of an acquaintance an engine very similar to this of your video that is mounted on a generator of 3500 w and with your help I managed to put it on as new I just need to gather to get the coil because it gives a spark but very dim it barely feels in the hand but when I place the spark plug it does not pass the spark is very poor, really thanks because thank God already With this engine you can help me and my neighbors when the regime cuts our energy because they are not affected by mature communism. Thank you from Anaco Venezuela.

[@DavidDiBonaWoodworking]

I hope all is well for your family and I am happy to hear that my video was able to aid in giving your family electricity. This is the beauty of KZbin.

[@JGsgarage_unboxings]

When I seen you wash that old carb with water and a scrub brush I almost threw up in my mouth!

[@JohnBrown-rz6kn]

I fully restored a 65 Briggs and Stratton and that thing runs like brand new one pull and it takes right off

[@johnyoung6771]

I fail to see what this has to do with cleaning the engine with dish soap.

[@davidschaadt3460]

That's why I watched this and it's time lost forever.

[@КошмарКошмар-й2б]

Good restoration job 🔥🔥🔥👍👍👍👍

[@PeterGeher]

This is not an "Restoration". This is a "Quick an dirty-Repair"!

[@geoffreymills9932]

So what did any of that have to do with dishsoap,, omg it cleans

[@johnj.bluvas8702]

Great job I have one in my number 2 garage I have to do.

[@tiporari]

First rule of small engine troubleshooting. It's the carburetor. 2nd rule. Yep, its the carburetor. 10x more likely than spark. Spark 10k more likely than compression loss or jumped time.

[@jaimevelez6336]

Yo esperaba ver que dejara el motor brillante con la limpieza que realizó. Luego batallo mucho para arrancarlo aún utilizando el spray. Aparte del carburador, yo creo y se que ese motor necesita anillos y rectificar,,,,le faltó hacer la prueba de compresión con la herramienta adecuada para descartar está falla,,,,

[@mauriciocapetillo6689]

Jaime Velez mínimo no con arrancador nadamás echa a perder el motor

[@malcolmporter4771]

Don't take this wrong, but rebuilding the carb or replacing it should have been in the first initial rebuilding process. Most likely, that's why it wasn't being used. The float membrane cracks and needs to be replaced quite often.

[@briannotafan3368]

[@Gilsao_1964]

Interesting work. But It was more overhauling than restoration. The funniest parte was trying to start it. Than finnaly "it's alive"! Good Job.

[@timmayer8723]

The basis of all ic engines are two ingredients fuel/air mixture and spark. I verify the spark and the fuel flow prior to starting any other type of work on an I/C engine. If these two are operating correctly I move on to whatever mechanical repairs may be needed I.E.: cracked or burned through piston, valve or valve spring replacement or both. Beyond these items the engine should crank right over and start/run.

[@TysyTube]

good job 👏

[@laychernc1166]

Good job

[@markelhewitt4804]

Not going to knock you on your work however, I will give some advice. As you learn more and grow your parts and tools collection, look into purchasing or building a small sand blast cabinet as well as proper solvents and a small pressure washer. A good off-the-shelf primer will help with your paint adhering to the metal high temperature primer as well as paint would be best. Amazon sells stock packs of Briggs & Stratton carburetor parts and full gasket kits for these small engines and there are numerous parts that will interchange, as I said just simply some insight not criticism,good job.

[@johnwade5747]

Those little tecumsehs are exactly like the ones i use on my motorbikes. You can get a lot of power out of them by using carbueretors with larger throats,since the intake port and valve are MUCH bigger than that tiny restrictive manifold.I use 2 fender washers and a short pipe runner to adapt whatever i have that is bigger,and drill to fit. wademademotorizedmayhem (on you tube}

[@d.haroldangel241]

Love the fast speed video.

[@alexander.g7992]

I thought this was a restoration

[@nathanrichardson5223]

Put an air filter onto the carb so the jets don’t get blocked and so nothing gets into the piston

[@Chris_L034]

if you fold a piece of paper in half, and slide it between the armature and flywheel it will be the correct gap.

[@strattuner]

yes and sometimes,most of the times you have to lightly sand the magnet imbedded in the flywheel,works for me every time,any paint the kid put on the engine makes it last that much longer ,I think he did a good job

[@georgepretnick4460]

Easy on the starting fluid. Well,,,,,,,,,,,it looks better.

[@RussellBooth1977]

Judging from the amount of oil that was in the cylinder, I'd say that the oil control rings are shot,so I would've replaced the rings while it was pulled down. I painted up the 3 horsepower engine on my Briggs & Stratton mower engine because it wasn't blowing a whole lot of smoke & the compression was up to 100 PSI,but now it's starting to burn more oil ,particularly after I replaced the ignition coil as the motor didn't rev out the best then the coil blew,the replacement coil made it rev out higher. So, I'm going to replace the rings in that one. My dads Honda mower is the same,I had it running yesterday & it was all good but then I started it this morning & it filled the shed up with smoke again. Yes, it's done it before, it's a 16 year old mower which needs a rebuild,even though it's compression is above Hondas recommended 71 PSI (it tested at 75),I'd say the oil control rings are buggered ,I have the rings for them ,I just need to order the matching piston & oil seals !

[@tobiasblum1912]

I think it was there because the engine was stored for a while and someone put oil in the cylinder to prevent the piston and the cylinder to seize. I had an old engine in my shed and my father said me that he put oil in the cylinder for that reason. For long storage periods.

[@aussie_rider-cb1254]

Did a good job on it. Only different I make is use WD-40 to clean the crud off. However still works either way

[@iamrichrocker]

there is only one way to learn..just effn do it..and you did..and all of the keyboard know it alls will tell you they effed up many a time too..keep up the work and apply what you learned!

[@glennojordan]

That’s brilliant

[@patriciahibbert6139]

Gordon D.,My late father told me to remember that a air cooled engine only needs spark,fuel,oil to run properly , while a liquid cooled motor needs Spark,fuel,water,oil to run properly,And Diesel engine needs water oil,fuel.So if there is ONE THING missing or not working properly your motor will not run. That's my nickel.We don't have pennies.

[@christos7440]

Well that was just out and out entertaining

[@mikespain8655]

You sure like starter spray. Rpm’s too low, initially started it with no oil, replace diaphragm, not entire carburetor.

[@trevorclaar7122]

Didn’t replace piston rings didn’t lap valves didn’t even go inside motor

[@Rudofaux]

Can this even be called a "restoration"?

[@AztecMexicanSoldier]

That engine looks exactly like the one that was in a mini bike I had

[@stevenjohnson2857]

Why did he replace the whole carb? Just replace the diaphragm. Interesting way of gaping the ignition coil....But it runs.....

[@airfight10]

you worked wery hard this time :)

[@peterh2800]

Excellent job super handy man

[@jafarsadique371]

Great bro

[@mikemarino5762]

The part number for that diaphragm carburetor is 630978. Also, that engine is not running at its highest speed. You need to adjust the new carburetor that you put on.

[@Rudofaux]

I don't think he does a lot if any carb work. If he did, he would've saved himself a lot if starting troubles if he worked on the carburetor in the first place.

[@tywebbgolfenthusiast8950]

Was it seized to begin with? Reminds me of my dad. When i was little, he was the small engine whisperer. He tuned up all of my buddy’s mini bikes. Clinton, techumseh, briggs...didn’t matter. He’d lap the valves, adjust the magneto, rebuild the carb...

[@Смотоблокомскучатьнеприход-ф7х]

[@DavidDiBonaWoodworking]

lol you think your clever

[@ipad1729]

It’s obviously a fuel problem when it tries to run on starter fluid I’m 14 and i know that

[@ipad1729]

@Andrew Hanna ikr

[@sirjameshughmcbride8627]

Nice vid well done for getting it going, maybe could have serviced the carb but a new one won’t hurt

[@georgepretnick4460]

If you pump most of can of ether into the intake, and nothing goes bang, maybe it's a spark issue.

[@colinaskey9777]

It took a lot of perseverance but you achieved you aim in the end,a nice evening video to watch and worthy of my 5 ☆ rating

[@nikolaos9906]

Sorry you did not clean the valves and the piston. After so many years, cleaning and replacing the rings with pistons is a must

[@fantro1064]

Tecumseh h30 edger or snowblower application.

[@peterh2800]

Fantastic job*****

[@peterh2800]

Excellent mechanic

[@MarshallSmith27]

it didn't seem like it had much compression?

[@MichaudDaniel]

You should check the compression. The valves looks dirty(carbon).

[@kellysteele8878]

I wouldn't call what you did as a restoration more like putting makeup on a pig and saying she's a beauty queen......New rings freshening the cylinder by boring new gaskets rebuilt the carb that's restoring you just cleaned it

[@MichaudDaniel]

Don't forget the valves, they look full of carbon.

[@bazwillrun]

@ kelly steele youre just another uselss youtube pedant...and no doubt if hed have done a full job on it and called it a resto you would have still winged saying " bwah bwah thats not a resto thats a rebuild bwah bwah".....dickhead

[@sheep1ewe]

Maybe You can attach an old truck generator or something to it so it can run a radio ower a battery....

[@sheep1ewe]

Fun fact, some years ago i won an internet auction containing some strange German radio equipment built for compability with the US fieldradio system in the 70s, it contains a unit that stabilise the current from a 12 or 24V vehicle generator in original (not realy nessesary when running on battery, but as i understood it also made it possible to run the radio safe directly from a generator in case of emergency or empty batteries, without risk of burning the transciever if the motor was rushing)...

[@acuariodelaespada9451]

Es solo mantenimiento ,personalmente tuve problemas con uno q tenia desgaste en el carburador la compresión se siente cuando pones las manos en la admisión y el escape casi sienpre el problema de este motor es carburacion , igual al remplazar el carburador por uno de moto siges las instrucciones de regularlo desde 0 y encontrarás el ajuste q te de el encendido deseado ,pues eso no se enseña se busca probándolo, saludos

[@pabloamaciasaguayo2495]

Es bueno este trabajo,le falta más cuidado al detalle.lo que dices de adaptar carburador de moto,reduces las espreas?,me gusta la idea de hacerlo en una orilladora de pasto

[@MrBeje]

do you clean the old carburetor?

[@philliphawkins6905]

The old carburetor is a diaphram type. With a split or hardened diaphragm cleaning would never have helped. The replacement carburetor he used is the best option. It is a snow blower carb and is far superior to that problem prone diaphram style.

[@marktracy586]

Nice job getting it running. FYI, try not to run these engines on a hard surface. They'll beat themselves to death! Run on a wooden mount on on the grass.

[@martint766]

The gap on the coil was not set properly, you get spark but no no, no run.

[@SDsailor7]

I thought it was going to be a total restoration. The motor needs to be open and inspected to see what' going on with the internal parts. I wonder why it got more than a million views?

[@TheFloridaPappy]

How do you keep track of what bolt goes where?

[@DavidDiBonaWoodworking]

its hard to explain but its like muscle memory.

[@raymondgarafano8604]

Does this engine have a 'pointless mag' or are the points on the left side of the block? Champion has a capacitor across the primary or low voltage winding, when it is fully charged it very quickly discharges into the primary making the spark at the plug. sort of like capacitor discharge ignition.

[@goldyj.b.5308]
