Jimmy you would do great at stand-up comedy! My idea is all the Jimmy fans write jokes for you. You pick the best ones and do a 5 to 10 minute stand-up set for your fans!!!

[@aflaz171]

​@wstlndiesel Apparently, you'd be a good comedian too!

[@Shmey]

Rod Machado did it. How hard could it be?

WOT, Wide open throttle. That's how you start small motors.

[@jacobfleming6616]

As someone whose two cylinder vintage snowmobile rotax breaks all the time while riding, I’m not sure I could ever feel comfortable relying on one to keep me in the AIR

[@Timberns]

All it’s gotta do is get you up… You don’t need an engine to get you back down

[@GaryLaaks1]

It flies so slowly, your life with flash past you 7 times before you get down. Its so slow it can barely kill you.

​@@Timberns Ha hahahahaha. Good one.

[@marknesselhaus4376]

IDK, My ultralite back in the 1980's had a Cuyuna 430 and except for a bad coil once, it never gave me any trouble for many hundreds of hours flight time and up to 11,000 feet 😀

[@peterwallis4288]

Such a cute plane. I imagine it would fly really well too.

[@MrBilldo426]

My 5 year old little girl was watching this with me and when you showed the old fuel she said daddy that’s bad gas. Just another moment that makes me proud to be a daddy

[@michaelb.8953]

Your 5 year old daughter has more mechanical prowess than probably a lot of grown men today.

[@rob379lqz]

Yup. Even if daddy converts it to electric, he might still have bad gas.

[@pappydanny58]

Probably to late to comment if you leave an air cap between the spark plug and spark plug wire to where the spark will jump between will start a flooded engine

[@marknesselhaus4376]

I would fly that in a heartbeat anytime 😀

Congrats Jimmy and crew on finally getting the PUP airplane starting and running. 5 out of 5.......

Awesome to see the little pup come to life. That is going to make someone a great little flyer!

And now the video of you flying ALL of them! This has been a great series.

[@1hornet1]

Are you EVER going to do an update video of whatever happened to all these planes we've been watching you buy the last few years?

[@dagger4146]

I think Jimmy has sold quite a few of them to supplement the addiction.

[@markmitchell8050]

Well done with the prayer application. Jesus loves the trust you showed!

[@crissd8283]

Finally. You said second but this is the last one we got to see. Thanks for saving these. It's a little painful to see you spraying ether in a 2 stroke. There is no oil in that.

[@F5Tornado44]

Here's the thing. They weren't using starting fluid (ether), they were using carburetor/choke cleaner. You can tell by the "pop pop pop" the spray was making as it came out of the can. Also, next time you go to an automotive parts place, grab a can of starting fluid and read the can. All starting fluids have a top end lubricant added in it.

[@nickmg555]

Did I miss the part where the no spark was fixed? Unless I spaced out, it went from no spark being the issue to just give it some go go juice

[@comfort_in_discomfort]

My question exactly. Would love to know what was the failed part / failed connection. Adding fuel doesn't make spark. Would be great to know!

[@godspeedracer]

I thought it was the disconected wire they found.

[@comfort_in_discomfort]

@@godspeedracer but they showed no spark even after that.

[@godspeedracer]

@@comfort_in_discomfort yep I had to go back and watch it. You are right.

[@claytondyck5075]

Me too. He gave man the wisdom to build them which means He basically created them so why not pray over them too 😁

[@joesmith2465]

its a simple snowmobile engine us northerners are very used to them. should been one of the easiest ones to get running. I would love to have that plane I've been wanting to get into flying when i was a kid my dad took my flying a lot in a Cessna 152. I've been pondering getting my sport license but these even better.

[@TuxWing]

Well done!! Perseverance and a prayer can go a long way!

Awesome job guys! I trusted you would get them all running! Now fly them all please

[@olkansascowboy4893]

Fuel System on Rotax is ... difficult. 5 emergency off field landings with Rotax, 3 were Fuel System related. Most ultralight pilots in the area I'm from went to 12v electric pumps with a small motor cycle battery.

[@battz99]

A Mikuni pressure operated diaphragm fuel pump operates at around 0.2-0.3 bar, certainly under 0.4 bar pressure. A pump and tubing in good condition will operate reliably and last for years but it has to be inspected and maintained especially now that alcohol has been added to the fuel which affects both the tubing and the seals inside the pump. An electrically operated mechanical fuel pump meant for a car engine operates at a considerably higher pressure that's at the top end, or above, what a Rotax 2-stroke engine is designed to work with and there's a serious danger that if left running permanently in flight it will flood the carburation system and either cause an engine failure or an engine fire from excess fuel exiting the carburettor overflows onto a hot exhaust. Fact. That's why Rotax's use diaphragm operated pumps. My first old AX3 ultralight was originally owned by a BMAA certified inspector and was the first in the UK to be fitted with an auxiliary electric fuel pump that was intended only for priming the system. It was placarded 'not to be used in flight except in case of an emergency' for that reason. Because it was just dead weight I removed it and replaced it with a hand primer bulb.

[@hartstudebakerkid]

@@battz99 Dont run alcohol added petrol.

[@oneninerniner3427]

​@@battz99 our snowmobiles run mikuni pulse pumps and work reliability for miles and miles on multi carbed 100+ hp machines. The key is nonox fuel. If you run oxygenated (ethanol) (alcohol) cut fuel you are going to have a lot of fuel system problems and maintenance.

[@battz99]

@@oneninerniner3427 Accepted. Trouble is over here in Europe we now have no choice. Even 98 octane now has 5% alcohol and the lower grades 10%. Pilots have been saying that for us it's dangerous but we don't count and are being ignored. I had a low quality hand primer bulb in one of my aircraft that had rotted through after only about a year due to alcohol. Fortunately I found out on inspection before flying because it was leaking fuel at an increasing rate onto the cabin floor and could have given out completely in flight dumping the lot into the cabin.

[@oneninerniner3427]

@@battz99 good thing you caught it! 👍. Sorry to hear that you can't get nonox fuel. That sucks for sure.

[@thomashudgins996]

Now, my question is are they back home yet? I sure hope so. You have too many irons in the fire there, Jimmy. Have you been home in the last four months? Also, that offer for the Eternabond tape for the RV is still open. I live in Ocala if you feel like a short hop in one of these beauties!

Washing machine charlie is in reference to a japanese pilot that would fly around at night with his twin engines intentionally out of sync to create a wobble sound in order to prevent US soldiers/marines from sleeping during the battle of guadalcanal.

[@LWJCarroll]

Interesting, as I lived in Honiara Guadalcanal as a kid for two years starting 1968…Henderson field was closed at the time, due to an unexploded WW2 bomb and we landed at an old fighter strip next to Kookum beach and the golf club. The Japanese control tower was still there at Henderson Field btw. Hawker Sidley 748 Fiji Airways. Laurie NZ.

[@fireantsarestrange]

I would have kept the Mighty Luscombe. Very sturdy aircraft.

[@THEBULLETPROOFGARAGE]

Glad you got it running! Having said that, it's really not a great idea to use ether on a 2 stroke engine -- the oil in the fuel mix is necessary to lube the top end and rings.

[@zs1we325]

Nice one Jimmy

[@anthonyelam2257]

I think this pup is a beautiful plane and only needs a electric start on it ... sweet ...😊

[@kr6dr]

I’m building a Fisher Flying Products Super Koala. It’s very similar to the Pup, but it’s not part 103 ultralight, is made of mostly wood and fabric, and has side by side seating. It uses a 2 cylinder Hirth 2-stroke engine that puts out 65 hp.

[@tr7v8]

Ye gods Jimmy, you normally follow good practice, but you made damn hard work of that and that's what gives two strokes a bad name.

[@jeremylauer5234]

I'd love to have that plane, I have Kolb and this would be a great addition.

[@fredkotthaus1518]

You forgot to take the dipstick out and anoint with the oil LOL 😆

Not sure if anyone mentioned this, but check the torque specs on that Ivo prop! Very easy to crush the hub. I'll take it when you're done...

I use a Rotax engine in my hovercraft. It has only failed once, but fortunately, it didn't happen at the "wrong" time. Jimmy, can you fly at 9-12 inches of altitude? 😊

[@FINNIUSORION]

'Anyone can work on it ' lol. Can and should are very different things. and if my experience with snow mobiles is any indication of how reliable this thing is...I wouldn't go any further than gliding distance from the airfield lol

The pup is awesome

[@stevecunningham6821]

You need to consult Reverend Jimmy on the legality of the Pup. I haven't seen him in awhile.

[@downhomeonthefarm6464]

That Pup is more enjoyable to cruise around in than many of the barn find clunkers you have flown.

[@Jon_Flys_RC]

I have two snowmobiles with engines based of that block, a rotax 440 and 500. The 500 has over 10,000 miles on it with only carb boots, which in the aircraft engine version they eliminated. Other than being stubborn to start because it’s a piston port vs reed valve motor it’s dead reliable. A primer plunger takes care of the low draw of the piston port and it’s fairly civilized to start.

[@michaelberry950]

Wow, changing the fuel system brought the spark back. MONKEY BUSINESS

[@philmccumbee6938]

Great video. You are one crazy guy. But I love your show.

[@RockymountainRobert]

I use to be into all that airplane stuff, I worked for a guy in Texas, we painted lots of mooneys, Cessna, bechcraft, grummans,rvs, homemades,even twin engines as big as a king air, even refurbished a red barron and a Stinson bi plane.

[@michaelkennedy2528]

Those mud dobbers will make you break the Part 103 rules. Your only supposed to have a single occupant lol

[@roberttammerawitchey4652]

they add to the equation- when they feel the plane ready to take off, they line up on the wing and flap their wings really fast to help out- unless they come barreling out and sting the poop out of the guy pulling the rope first!

[@SimonAmazingClarke]

That little pup is gorgeous. A whole aircraft for less than 254 lbs.

[@F5Tornado44]

Just an FYI guys, carburetor choke cleaner is really not that flammable. Brake cleaner is more flammable, but your best bet is starting fluid (ether). Nowadays, the starting fluid has top end lubrication added in, unlike brake cleaner, so it's much safer for the pistons and cylinders. Anyhow, congrats on getting them all running.

[@eprofessio]

I saw a little piper backfiring and sputtering along, I immediately thought of Jimmy World.

[@nedwphillips2126]

[@golfbravowhiskey8669]

I put 500hrs on mine years ago. But it had the 40hp 1/2 VW 4stroke. Best fun out there tou can have at 65mph. I did t fly mine under part 103. So i had extra gas 9g total.

[@dframeIII]

So glad you did not get the 2 stroke running on starting fluid...all you were accomplishing is cleaning all the oil off the bearings and cylinder walls.

[@dmartyair]

I would love to have that pup!!!!!

[@Cake41579]

Jimmy. You need to pop that cover off the crank cover and put a heavy duty electric drill on the main crank nut to turn that engine over on the pup. We used to do this on thr old sniw mobile engines wheh we were working on them ti save our shoulders

[@LegacyIndustrial1]

[@ultraflightamerica9019]

its really close to what I am doing. I hope whoever gets it, enjoys it. it would make a nice backup, or even a good local plane.

[@dlyall26]

Try removing the black wire from the spark plug caps, I have had problems with those before. I had bought a 450 honda motorcycle for $65.00 and that's what was wrong with it, the spark wasn't going through the plug cap so could be wore out inside where the plug wire meets the plug cap

[@dagger4146]

I am strangely attracted to that Pup. Might need a new diaphragm for what looks like a Mikuni vacuum fuel pump and break down the carburetor and clean it up. New fuel lines and spark plugs and you should be GTG. Getting the mud dobbers out of the ailerons if going to be a real PITA though.

[@hartstudebakerkid]

It is a damned good thing that the Pup did not start on either cuz Jimmy would have gaulded the bearings. The Pup just needs new fuel lines, the fuel tank cleaned, a new fuel pump and the carb cleaned and to be run on ethanol free fuel. I would use the same oil for the mix as my vintage sleds.

[@F5Tornado44]

All starting fluid sold these days have a top end lubricant added in. Check out a can when you need to go parts shopping. Besides, they weren't using starting fluid anyway. It was carb/choke cleaner. That stuff pops as it comes out of the can, on some brands.

[@hartstudebakerkid]

@@F5Tornado44 You should not have commented because all you did was show others how little you know. With two strokes it is the bottom end that needs the lube so that the bushings or bearings and crank cases seals do not go out.

[@F5Tornado44]

@@hartstudebakerkid Tell me Mr. Wizard, do you think lubricant knows where to go once it enters the engine? Perhaps you should take a little of your own advice.

[@hartstudebakerkid]

@@F5Tornado44 Yes because that is a piston port engine just like three of the four snowmobiles I have or even three of my chainsaws that date back to the 1930s. So you keep yapping so the rest can laugh at you.

[@michaeljefferson8769]

Same engine I had on my Airbike. I flew it 800 miles in three days from Red Bluff Ca. To Phoenix Az a few years ago. Careful cleaning the oil off the pistons with that starter fluid.

[@F5Tornado44]

Wasn't starting fluid. Had it been, the motor would've started and it'd be fine. Modern day starting fluid has added in top end lubricant.
