WILL THIS ENGINE RUN? 1934 HUPMOBILE FLATHEAD SIX CYLINDER 🔥

We're anxious to see if this 1934 Hupmobile engine will run so we have our mechanic friend John here today to help us get it fired up. We're hoping to use this Hupmobile engine and chassis for the 1935 Ford race car 🔥

This is my First comment always thought you were out of my league. Really enjoy your recent builds and everyone always thought I was crazy thinning mud and resin. I built medic units for a old timer and he Was A one coat wonder.He Could Flow the material out like nobody's business. Saved me thousands of hours sanding over my career. Same techniques you use Old School. Thank you for teaching Aiden when we are gone these young bucks need to carry on the Tradition..oh yeah I can see why the Misses could distract you. Focus Chad focus.! Love you guys.

[@jamesroberson4463]

I am really enjoying these builds. I still am involved, and quite aggressive for 78 years old. How about them apples !!! Love all you guy's (and gals) we are family. Lol

[@russupsidedowntopbottom955]

amazing how old engines will fire up after so many years of setting. thanks for sharing

[@johnb5519]

Something about starting up an old engine that hasn't been running for years, that never seems to get old.

[@mrdanforth3744]

I used to own a 1936 Hupmobile. They used an engine made by Continental. How much of the design was by Hup and how much by Continental I don't know, but they did have a high nickel block - notice the lettering on the left side of the block. Firing order 1 5 3 6 2 4 electric system 6V + ground. Will turn over and start on 12V just don't grind and grind the starter or you could burn it out.

[@johnmacintosh1343]

Cant wait to see it running love this build thank you for teaching us

[@428eliminator3]

I want 30 minutes of my life Back

[@markdutka3774]

Almost running but no gas, that's a pain in the ass. I think as soon as you have a gas supply you will get it running it's a 1934 Hupmobile flathead 6 you can tell it wants to Chad will get the flathead going. Thanks Mark Dutka

[@scottmartin356]

Very excited to see you go with the Hupmobile! The COE and racecar being built for fun, this is a fun choice for the engine!!

[@jamesmcritchie8310]

Finally a mechanical friend. Right on

[@i8ntnuts]

Yeah it’s really nice to see Chad have a friend that will help. Not really a fan of sand blasting spark plugs. Can’t wait to hear that old flathead make some noise

[@bobdee2464]

How's Doug doing, will he be making appearance soon.?

[@robertnauss4815]

They never answer this question

[@bobdee2464]

@@robertnauss4815 thus the reason l had asked.

[@westonward735]

Usually you are on the ball but it looked like a real mess today. I can't believe you didn't have at least 2 cans of starting fluid along with gas. A new set of plugs would have been handy also. The engine wants to start, it needs more fuel.

[@garciaij1]

You need to set up a small tank and hook it up to the card so it can get gas pumping. Just pouring gas down the card isn’t going to work unless you have more to follow it up

[@DCCustomDesign]

Dealing with the same issue on a 1957 Buick Wagon today! Can’t get the 364 Nailhead to start (been parked since 1972). What are the odds… I worked on it almost all day and then come in to watch your channel and you’re working on something similar! Hope you got it running. Tomorrow is another day for me!

[@howquick]

That’s a cool old motor. Love the crossed screwdriver trick 🤣👍

[@jamesroberson4463]

Chad I think your losing IGN when you remove the screwdriver. check for hot on the coil

[@masonmorgan3987]

Chad has the type of videos where you can just sit back with a bowl of popcorn and enjoy the show

[@DarrenCorman]

Glad John is there to help out....But I miss seeing Doug. Hope all is well.

[@alexandriawootton1742]

That old’ Hup engine was really wanting to fire, while your picking up some more gas I would get some new plugs, a mechanics remote starter switch and a new coil should be good to go, see you tomorrow 👍

[@reecenewton3097]

A set of jumper cables would have helped. Don't have any??

[@markallison8854]

Thanks for all you do. Never heard a flat head motor. Thanks Chad and Jolene ❤❤❤❤❤😎😎😎😎

[@alethacriss1528]

Chad, blowing compressed air with no eye protection, very risky! Just trying to keep you healthy so you can continue to do this fine work.

[@jimwilson465]

This is going to be a really cool race car. What a great duo with the truck and the race car. You got a bunch of exciting projects in the hopper. Keep up the great work.

[@cowlhoods]

Nothing more rewarding than hearing it fire up after years sitting. Enjoying from Valdez, Alaska

[@standavis7266]

Love seeing old cars being saved. You are definitely making a work of art.

[@wadethomas6952]

I like how Chad asked for help with engine

[@ShowPhil]

You'll get it running for sure!!!!!!!!!! Keep up the great work!

[@chadh7613]

Great seeing the guest appearances by the old timers on the channel...so.much experience and knowledge to benefit from.

[@Roopull]

Who else got all giddy when it started fitting for the 1st time?

[@i8ntnuts]

It’s all I can do tonight fast forward and see how it turns out. He made the engine spin but it sounds like the starter might be six volts. That thing really spins lol

[@chriswithrow9945]

Man I can’t wait to hear that flathead purr!! This is exciting it’s all coming along quickly thanks for sharing Chad and Jolene

[@i8ntnuts]

Late today. Can’t wait to hear that old Hup run! I’m sure it will if it didn’t get water inside. Hopefully nothing is cracked from when the previous owners had it. Very cool

[@Lotsaslots6747]

Don’t you need a constant fuel line now?

[@ogddog1711]

Love the way you do things but I have to ask if that’s the engine you’re planning to use for your race car?

[@cortcam664]

Burning a lot of video time looking for tools and everything else. Prepared is never a priority. Chad is a fast worker and a slow helper. Cluttersville. NO GAS? hard to watch a pro builder be so scatter brained. WOW!

[@davidvansickle563]

I love that, ‘what could go wrong’ 😂😂😂😂

[@painkiller-topic]

really love the show chad like def have learned alot from you man and i just want to say thank you for makeing these shows to be able to learn from,, like its def a inspiratehion man just as much as you are brother from another mother

[@Lobster81027]

I thought you had it going there for a minute but we will see how it goes tomorrow, good bit octane will fire it up 🔥👍😎

[@FriedGarFish]

Love seeing Gene at the shop.

[@tomedwards38]

Bring on the thunder. I like hearing old motors run.

[@ejharrop1416]

Yehaaaaa! Love the gas and starter fluid, that is going to be a party for sure. Have fun but please stay safe. Peace out

[@DavidBrown-mn3iy]

I'm confident it will turn into a reliable fun/race engine. I hope to see some long pipes throwing flames!

[@kevinhall3443]

I was rooting for the ol motor. She’s going to be a runner!

[@smurf6862]

Ha chad sick today your and Jolene video brought my sprite up little bit today never seen a flat 6 before glad I got to see one even do its online thank you for the little confront I had today this going to be a beautiful ride but everything you make is and hope this ant what I think this is and I can watch more bless you two for making my day

[@alancroft4231]

Went to the dollar store and picked up 2 bags of potato chips, sit back and watch the show, love watching Chad do what most people think is the impossible, 5 Star rating ,,Chad & Jolene

[@plank407]

Can’t wait to hear the Hup run! It will be an awesome engine for the vintage race car!

[@ronc6249]

Looks like tonight's video will be interesting! Anxious to hear the engine run. Always a fun night with you both.

[@kylelambright2278]

Using what you got! I love it! True craftsmanship

[@grantburechailo1631]

Getting an old motor to run that has sat for a long time is always an adventure let it rip

[@fordmustanggtish]

Something that always helps me start an old engine is (if you can) pre fill the float bowl with fuel through the vent opening then it should run for up to 30 seconds in some cases if the fuel pump is not yet pulling fuel from the source. One of the tricks i learned. lol.

[@PoplarvilleMan]

The engine won't run on air. You need a gas supply. It's trying it's best to start and will only run for a second on the fuel you're pouring in the carb. You need to keep a supply trickling in the carb. My 2 cents.

[@johnstewart9396]

Bad Chad does “will it start?” I love this channel! Good luck!

[@franka2507]

Looking forward to hearing it run 🧰⛽🚗

[@markclark8367]

Love how you don’t have a pacific place for each tool and must remember where you had it last. I can relate!

[@i8ntnuts]

You and me both.

[@dereksimon3437]

I want this motor to start soo bad! It sounds like it wants to too!

[@ronjon5386]

Love seeing Gene at the shop. What a legend 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👍👍👍👍

[@fordmustanggtish]

Yes Chad. If she turns over and had compression and fuel, by gosh she will fire. Great to have a little experienced help in the mix too. Hats off to you for keeping the old girls running. Show them a little love and they will start.

[@maryh7924]

You'll get it running. I have confidence 😊

[@tonymosca6591]

Never heard one of these run! Can’t wait to see it go. Unique motor for racing.

[@aabartu3]

Almost got her running!

[@thetrannyshop5596]

My guess would be that the carb needs to be cleaned out. It is getting spark, right?

[@donthompson9300]

Another school day, lesson learned. I'd bet tomorrow Chad will have every gas can filled to the brim.

[@allanimalstaxi]

Close but no cigar! Hope you guys get it running, sounds like a good engine, maybe just the spark plug wires need double checked for right firing order. Anyways, good luck getting it out of gear.

[@mikehalm164]

I think the 12 volt is too much for the starter drive, but this dude will run.

[@i8ntnuts]

Yeah it was really hard to watch him do what he was doing. These old 6 V systems weren’t that hot to begin with. 12 V will destroy it all. It sure made that starter spin lol

[@genesimons8368]

It's going to run... But the carburetor will need a bit of work. Hopefully they'll have a kit to match it in town, if not there's always the internet. 👍

[@trickysubject8563]

A racing car given a new lease of life! That engine has sat quiet just waiting to be a race car all it’s life. Kudos 🇨🇦🇬🇧🙏

[@freefall3227]

Good Day to everyone

[@c50ge]

I like to use two stroke mix down the carb in a squirt can or bottle. A little extra lube for the dry rings

[@stevemartin9670]

It's "Beer Day" love it!

[@johnkalogerakis3542]

Hi Chad love your passion for your work and amazing workmanship good job from Australia Melbourne 🙏🇦🇺

[@idlabi]

I got a chuckle when you started opening the drawers of your toolbox… It’s like my toolbox and probably 90% of every one out there....disorganized chaos!

[@kennethstevenson976]

Great filming job ...again. Compared to many sites. Only possible through careful panning by Jolene. Reminds me of starting a 6 cylinder 1940's Chevrolet Pickup engine lying on its side in a junk yard in 1961.

[@wayneschmidt7885]

Run Baby Run, Love this show!!!

[@ele97735]

I see we have a little bit of a change of pace today, I’m looking forward to it

[@justanonymous8858]

Are you sure the firing order is correct? Thanks for sharing your passion. Glad you said it was a 1/4 mile car. I was thinking dirt track. Keep it coming. Thanks, Steve in Texas

[@garryremington1137]

Feelin' bad for the poor mechanic, since Chad is apparently tool deprived.

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Chad’s a wildman with that blow gun! Thing is gonna be sweet!

[@stevejakobs476]

"Every day's a school day!" sure sticks with me.

[@timmaccowan]

Cant wait to see it driving around.

[@rickdarr5323]

Productive year considering everything that's going on

[@dwalker399]

I don't know if these engines are splash oilers or if they have a oil pump. If it has a oil pump. Pull the plugs and spin it up to build oil pressure to the bearings before putting the fire to it. This should be done when starting a fresh rebuilt engine or a old engine that has been sitting a long time. Could save you from knocking out the bearings or the poured babbitts. Which ever this engine uses.

[@kevinmcleod3741]

The frame with the 6 saves time so why not use it . I get it but I agree with Jolene that the 8 would be a better choice . I understand your logic Chad and with the frame already bolted to the 6 makes good sense 👏👍 so let's get it running. Thumbs-up Jolene 👍and 👍Chad

[@garybarry4446]

Exciting watching new things everyday , the engine will run .

[@brucesahroian1482]

Jolene!! Get a Countryman Headset microphone! Try it you'll love it!

[@Black2001pt]

Nothing like a inline 6 for a race car.

[@wilburcowart9590]

Fill the carb bowl with gas not down the throat . And it well run.

[@Ricas-hq4bx]

Mr BAD CHAD, your gonna end up burning the starter , plus you dont have enough gas in the carburetor bowl so it wont stay on

[@XCHANGEDAVE]

Some of the best camera work on the web you are so awesome

[@clifc6351]

Nice to meet "Downtown John". Thanks for sharing the inner workings of another build. Thank You Jolene for your production. It takes us as if were right there.

[@williamwebster3271]

I love that you don't have any music and speeded up video. Great work!

[@DroTrebor]

That looks like a nice engine.

[@bjpollari]

always looking on this , thanks

[@klobucarpa]

Racing Bad Chad style. I love it. Go on with your Bad self.

[@kenanderson9331]

If you’re not using any type of charging on that car you better bring along a couple extra batteries to track days. Frankly your not talking about a great deal of weight but you can be talking about one hell of a pile of inconvenience with no charging.

[@frankesparza9516]

Super cool block.

[@phillipcaldwell434]

Good Morning BAD CHAD JOLENE & DOWNTOWN JOHN good too see your getting the engine going and it's nice to see a Mechanic doing his job

[@694s]

I had a 35 hupp like the one you built a while back, I upholstered a 34 Hupp and the oldest car I upholstered was a 1910 Hupp.

[@rickhettwer854]

Run a fuel line from the gas can (Can with gas in it ) to the fuel pump, she'll fire right off I tell ya. I wanna hear this baby purr!

[@Budds36]

Please get the microphone sorted. Chad moves to fast to be able to read lips. your content is wonderful and I learn something from every show. power on.

[@rossfiler2714]

Can't wait to hear it run 😁

[@minortinkering]

When I was at college I was told there are only two possible firing orders on a four stroke engine . If you remember one is 153624 just take off the one and add it to the end, now read the numbers backwards it will give you the other firing order of 142635

[@gbdrywall]

thats a great engine for the race car.sweet
