HOW TO FIX A SMALL ENGINE

[@MegaSkypes]

Good stuff to fiddle and fix things!

[@AndyHumberstone]

All the best for the new year keep them videos going very interesting

[@johnscales206]

Thanks again for your videos. I have been able to fix my Strimmer by looking at the channel. Keep it up 😉

[@marcusd2380]

Handy we washer for bikes etc. I have bough a lot of power tools of eBay as spares or repairs for supper cheap nearly all were fixable. Folk just through stuff out these days crazy. Good video. U need to get some bleach or hydrochloride down in that foot part to clean it up.

[@beakittelscherz5419]

Sounds like a smoooooth Oparatooor

[@dansprat]

You are Lovely Kim 😁

[@russellpetrie119]

i think there a machine mart machine sometimes sticker on the starter assy or stamped into the block serial and code number if not try machine mart might be able to help on valves

[@stevefarmer3381]

Nice one Kim you can clean my slab's any day 👍

[@rebelyank6361]

Thanks for another informative video. Looks like what you have there is a 3 HP 79 CC Predator engine. They are an economy line of small engines available here in the US at places like Harbor Freight for around $100. My bigger pressure washer has the 212CC version. Parts are available online, there are also people hot rodding them for racing go carts, getting 20+ HP out of them. We are playing around with running my buddies on alcohol lol.

Thanks for this, I have been looking this afternoon so I will see what name they use over here. Thanks :D

[@victoriacragwoodsfarm806]

So good to see this Kim. Am learning huge amounts. Thank you for going through everything so clearly, it's giving me much more confidence xx

[@CalamityKim1]

That’s okay :) if you need any advice send my a message on Instagram. Take care ☺️

[@astravanmk2]

Happy days! More Kim content :)

[@weegrant1980]

It's amazing how many lawnmowers etc get thrown out just because of a bit dirt in the carb. If only everything was as easily fixed

[@CalamityKim1]

Literally is. It's why I like saving things like this.

[@whitestream5233]

Excellent video, well presented by a very talented young lady. Thank you ,

[@kenmurray4232]

Great vid Kim. Lousy gas is usually the culprit. Or petrol on your side of the pond.

[@brecklandengineeringservic4776]

Very informative video, I’ve bought alot of bits of kit very cheap with similar issues, fixed them and sold some on. While I remember give Lord Muck a poke and tell him to get a video out, he’s gone very quiet

[@CalamityKim1]

Thanks and he’s working on it 🥳💁‍♀️

[@TheLawnmowerLady]

Nice video! Good to see more gals working on small engines 👍That jet on top of the carb is the idle jet, I think.

[@jay-kq8of]

Great vid Kim

[@dieselhatz4247]

Or are they JIS? Especially those cheeky Japanese motorbikes. Been looking for a pressure washer, not too sure on those Ponda engines though, always had or used Honda/Stihl, which are pretty solid engines. They are a damn sight cheaper though.

[@r.w.d.s.8647]

Beautiful & Skilled ,😀

[@philgardener7018]

Thanks a very informative video. It all looks very fiddly

[@alfadoofus]

Great video , I like to see repairs instead of throwing out and buying another one . I think a tripod would help the in the shop shots when you need both hands to do the work but made it work . Keep posting :)

[@CalamityKim1]

I do need to get one actually. Just boot sure which yet.

[@roberthiggins6401]

@@CalamityKim1 I suggest a repair on one of Kurt's old ones he's throwing out. 😆🤐😏 Thanks for sharing Kim.

[@fleyboy99]

I just found you have your owne chanel ssssoooo cool go Kim go go

[@steveransley7227]

Great fix thanks for posting.

[@Metalsignman]

Thing to note when draining fuel into an aerosol can lid most have a tiny hole in them to reduce suction when being remove so don’t hold liquids very well

[@CalamityKim1]

That one doesn't but I know exactly what you're talking about, happened to me before haha.

[@stuartrance277]

Really enjoyed the video, nice to see your repair in the workshop, it’s always good to get things back to working condition, once you have a pressure washer there is endless jobs you can find to use it on .This is going to be an interesting channel to watch if you are going to continue to make items & also repair them, have you any further projects coming up ?????👍👍👍👍👍😃Thankyou for the videos

[@markwestmore4178]

Great vid kim ,keep them coming, might teach mucker a thing or 2 😁👍

[@trevorpearson1832]

Great Video. Thanks 👍

[@patkelly7999]

Good job Kimberly:):)

[@HootMaRoot]

Me and small 4stroke engines especially small generators have never gotten on well. But a small powered pressure washer like that would be perfect to add to the collection of small engine compressor/hydraulic pump/water pump

[@rustnsmoke7564]

Very good 👍

[@ghodgeco]

Hello Kim. Were you raised in a family of mechanics or on a farm? All the knowledge you have couldn't have been learned in school. Very impressive.

[@CalamityKim1]

Hi Grant, Not particularly, I did my first motorbike rebuild at 12 with my brother and since I’ve just been fascinated. I did a mechanical engineering apprenticeship too, quite varied really. Thanks ☺️

[@Squad-pl7oo]

Calamity when you increase the engine speed do the blades spin the same speed or faster

[@CalamityKim1]

They get faster.

[@davidgibbings6085]

Nice video kim maybe do some ride on mower stuff. 👍🙂

[@CalamityKim1]

I have thought about buying some more, I used to do LOADS of them.

[@davidgibbings6085]

Love to see them Kim , i see mowers all day at work , and love working on them 🙂👍

[@razzorbladz]

now that's a good looking mechanic

[@stevenwright1461]

That’s a Clarke which is machine mart if u need spares set the valves at ex 5 thou inlet 4 thou hope this helps

[@CalamityKim1]

That's right yeah. I used them before to order clarke parts. Didn't need any for this thankfully :D I will have a check of the clearances to what you've said, thank you.

[@ClarenceFudWeasel]

Nice video. Had you thought of doing an LS swap with that little motor? I'm sure we could get a 345 Vortec in there.

[@CalamityKim1]

I was thinking we should drop in that 671 paper weight Lord Muck has. He doesn’t use it. 🙈

[@ClarenceFudWeasel]

@@CalamityKim1 I was going to ask where your apprentice is. Have you noticed he's got the most beautiful eyes.

[@CalamityKim1]

@@ClarenceFudWeasel I’ve been making him do all the work behind the scenes 😬

[@ClarenceFudWeasel]

@@CalamityKim1Is he like these people who turn up when you are planning to spend a happy afternoon making a special tool to do a job and save you hours by doing it with the tools you have to hand?

[@CalamityKim1]

@@ClarenceFudWeasel 🤣🤣🤣 I haven’t a clue what you’re talking about. Sounds a fun sponge if you ask me ☺️

[@billupstateny9151]

Enjoyed your content, very informative🗾🏍🏏💥👀🙅👩‍🔧

[@bobpaterson1845]

£55 seems a bit o a bargain 👍 nice little video Kim unfortunately when one is blessed with hands like a no 10 shovel these kinda servicing tasks to me are nigh on impossible 🤬 👍

[@CalamityKim1]

Yes it’s fiddly if you have big hands.

[@andygraves3658]

Very helpful for anyone else who had similar issue.. Send it :-)

[@28YorkshireRose12]

Hi Kim, I'm glad to see you have a channel of your own, and nice to see you at work on your own. I've just subscribed, so I'll keep dropping in for a look-see. You'll be aware of the change over to E10 fuel, no doubt? Be very wary of leaving fuel in this machine if it's not going to used for a while. Many small engines are doomed to die in the near future thanks to E10.

[@CalamityKim1]

Hey thanks for the sub. Yes I’ve seen that. I’m already mindful of leaving fuel in things. More my Dirtbike. Don he need any dried up fuel in a fuel Injection system 😭 Kim

[@casto-]

Nice little buy, should do you well 👍. I still swear petrol engines are made by the devil though🤣 I don’t have much love for them.

[@tceng9449]

4:52 if your toilet is filling up with fuel you might wish to talk to a plumber!

[@CalamityKim1]

Haha, I would fix it myself! Don't need a plumber making a mess :D

[@Greta-Thunberg-How-Dare-You]

Miss Kim, are you related to Mr Muck?

[@CalamityKim1]

He helps dispose of all my used tyres. 😬

[@Greta-Thunberg-How-Dare-You]

@@CalamityKim1 How Dare you!

[@johnhyde8892]

Nice to see, a good looking female working with machines.

[@benwalker6530]

Having a friend like Kim is great, especially when you are a lazy POS like I, you leave your generator spluttering away, barely working and eventually the urge to make it run properly will overcome said friend and she will fix it without being asked.... based on a true story! hahaha

[@CalamityKim1]

Bloody hell that was ages ago 🤣🤣 I completely forgot about that.
