Adjust the carb. It's 4 stroking to rich. I have a 1-1/2; a 2 a3 and a 6. They are good engines. I'm with you I could watch and listen to the old engins all day!!!!!

[@blackflame251]

Just found this ! I have the same engine. It's my first old engine, and it hasn't run in years, so I expect it'll be quite a project. Thanks for posting !

[@themadmailler]

+blackflame251 good luck! they're addicting engines...

[@BLACKRIVERLASER]

I Love it! We have the same Z model. If you ever need a pulley for it, We have an extra one with the original bolts that we would let go.

[@themadmailler]

How much do you want for the pulley?

[@BLACKRIVERLASER]

Send me a PM!

Sounds great. Really got to put some you know what to turn that thing over

[@themadmailler]

thanks for watching! it actually doesn't take very much at all to turn it over. it also helps if you bleed off a little compression by pushing open the intake valve before trying to crank it past TDC.

[@smallengineguy7227]

I just subbed to your channel so I haven't seen much of your vids yet but are you restoring or going to restore any engines

[@themadmailler]

Thanks for subscribing! Keep an eye out for some more videos of my 4 1/2HP United. i just bought a custom gas tank for it which i will install soon. that should get it to running condition, so i should have some exciting updates soon. also take a look at my 2 HP Stover engine videos, i did not restore it but i repaired and refurbished it and it's quite a nice running engine now.

[@smallengineguy7227]

Ok cant wait for that United

[@themadmailler]

Here's the latest and greatest! Enjoy. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eGqnamiNjMStq6c

[@robertjackson325]

Nice I have one, what spark plug does it take please? Mine seems to be 20 mm thread,

[@themadmailler]

@@robertjackson325 it's probably a pipe thread plug. Definitely not metric.

[@SteamCrane]

Just bought one, seller says it runs, good compression, hot mag. Pick up after show season. How do you shut it down?

[@themadmailler]

Nice! congrats on the purchase. To shut it down, you just close the fuel valve.
