MAYTAG 92 ENGINE RESTO (part 3)

[@locouk]

Way to make a viewer feel old RK, imo when it's used in an ignition system it's a condenser lmao. When we got a new apprentice at work, we used to charge them up, throw them across the workshop and yell catch! The other one we used to do was pull the HT lead off the spark plug, stand on a rubber floor mat with your finger in the end of the lead, call the lads over and ask them if they can see why there's a misfire, as soon as they as they grounded themselves leaning over the engine, you'd grab their ear lobe. 😂

[@805ROADKING]

Fun times eh Mate!!☺

[@MalcOfLincoln]

Good to see you keeping amused Mate! Just a couple of things you might? like to say, or others read on here. A condenser is basically a rechargeable battery. Also A series BMC engines (Minis, Morris 1000s etc) always could see the copper when you took the shells out of the mains and big ends on the crank. It was just that big end reminded me.

[@davesage9190]

Capacitors like those usually have a 10 to 20 percent tolerance so you can't expect them to be right on the printed value. Anything close is good enough for your application. (all stuff I'm sure you know but worth mentioning for others).

[@regsparkes6507]

Nah, the video's not too long, I think it's great to have " how to check a condenser " shown. It all helps. Thanks ROADKING.

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Reg!!☺

[@advance9572]

Great video bud. Back years ago we used to throw a charged capacitor to a fellow co-worker and yelled, " don't let it drop "! Then we hooked up a twelve volt fencer to a metal door handle to thwart off office personal. Sure worked good!😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Bud!! They were the good ol' days!!☺

[@JoelHudson]

advance9572 shocking!

[@aserta]

I did that to my little brother, man, did our parents ream me a new one, but worth the fun, we're both laughing at it now. Times were good back then.

[@marshallman1au]

RK .... LOVE it when you work alone ..... When you "ramble on" .... with extraneous details ..... It is so interesting ...... It is like you are talking to me ..... Personally ....... :) Goodonya mate! :)

[@pvc988]

That meter is probably bang on. It's capacitors that are off. They all have specified tolerance (sometimes even tens of percent). And last significant digit bouncing up and down is an inherent property of most digital meters (because of how analog to digital converters inside them work).

[@twocvbloke]

Re-stuffing capacitors is something I've not ventured into yet, looks like a "fun" process taking the old guts out and replacing them with new ones... :P

[@805ROADKING]

Give it a try Mate, you'll like it!!☺

[@zacharyradford1708]

The beauty of points ignition is it makes spark energy at any RPM when it is working right. The electronic ignition on small engines needs more rpms to make spark that’s why so many old small engines will kick over with little effort when there in tune. Love the vids

[@neil1150]

Cant wait to start re-asembling mine now, just waiting on an oversize wrist pin now.

[@JRODW]

Love how you guys bring these old engines back to life.

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Bud!!☺

[@txsviking]

Knowing about capacitors is a good thing. Looking good!

[@805ROADKING]

Yeah Buddy, they're in everything we use!!☺

[@jfolck1886]

Don't worry about the long videos, I would be happy to sit down and watch a 30 minute video!

[@805ROADKING]

That's good!! I think the next two are 28 min. each!!☺

[@dre2992]

805ROADKING what if you were to put a big capacitor on. The stater will it create a bigger spark

[@tiporari]

Most components have a tolerance of +- 10%. Your meter might be just fine.

[@not2fast4u2c]

Great close up video shots ...I like it when you get the camera in there and we can see the small parts ....Neat Idea to gut out the old capacitor and hide the new one inside it ...That would be a video I would watch

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Bud!! The Cap rebuild for this engine will be in part 6!!☺

[@aserta]

Get a Uni-T multimeter, they are cheap, but hold their value, had one now for 2 going 3 years and it's perfect for throwing around in the shop, dirt, even dropped it in the mud once. As for the videos, don't be sorry about the long tangents, the process of elimination is a very good and useful tool, you showing us the whole path, and giving in depth explanations is worth a lot.

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Mate!!☺

[@BangAsoursRex]

Nice!!! Another Maytag.

[@TheOpenAirGarage]

Great video. Make them what ever length you like.

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Bud!! We try not to make them too long!!☺

[@Birdman_in_CLE]

Great tip on using the old can to hold the new cap. Keep the videos coming, and I'll keep watching and learning.

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks alot Bud!!☺

[@gabrielsturdevant9700]

tomorrow, me and my grandparents are gonna go pick up a 79 f150 short bed for my first car. it isnt in too bad shape, y'want some time invested in your first car anyway. brakes are locked up (could be the E-brake thats locked), lights and water pump's shot, floor boards been gone for years but it should make fora good project.

[@805ROADKING]

Good luck with it Bud!!☺

[@midgyrich]

Man you are lucky. I'm saving up for my first vehicle by fixing stuff and selling engine parts. Probably gonna be a 90s ranger, but im hoping for some late 80s early 90s f150

[@gabrielsturdevant9700]

apparently the breaks arent seized but actually the opposite, they dont work at all. it runs just fine other than that.

[@marshallman1au]

Who needs them .... They only slow you down ...... >8^)

[@dalebaker9788]

This is helping me. I don't have a spark

[@hitandmissfits171]

She's looking good RK! Yeah that check-valve on the pickup tube is correct, my 92's have the same thing. That is a funky looking condenser, I've never seen one that has a screw to attach the wire, and one with a brass color, I bet that it's original!! : )

[@805ROADKING]

Yeah I've come across the same condenser before but they weren't brass!!☺

[@davidk8184]

The condenser/capacitor talk was very interesting.

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Dave!!☺

[@johnstrange6799]

Once you clean a few parts up the excitement will kick in.

[@805ROADKING]

Yeah Buddy!! ☺

[@gatorsworld]

Had a few of those and gave them away about 20 years ago...was moving at the time...like to look at your vids...CHEERS

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Gator!! I Salute you!!☺

[@tiger12506]

I seriously doubt it's the meter that is off. Markings on capacitors can be 20% tolerance... Unless you check the meter against some sort of standard, I think it's more likely it's the capacitor that is slightly off from its own marking.

[@UnitCrane514]

I have that same green S-K screwdriver. I have the entire set, those are my favorite flat blade screwdrivers! I like the Vaco brand ones made by Klein as well 😊

[@805ROADKING]

Yeah it's one of my favorites too, probably had it over 40 years!!☺

[@YouAllKnowBob]

Those capacitors are rated plus or minus 10% so the meter may be telling you what the actual capacitance is. Great videos!

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Bud!!☺

[@michaelsatlin346]

love watching your stuff. keep up the good videos.

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Bud!!☺

[@TheShadeTreeFixitMan]

Interesting stuff, EJ. I always enjoy these technical vids.

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks George!! Hope we see you back in the mix soon!!☺

[@shawnmrfixitlee6478]

I have a generator with a bad cap , Bought one of those meters and they work pretty good . The do the job ! thumbs up King ..

[@805ROADKING]

Yeah I use mine alot!!☺

[@Dazsvintagestuff]

I learnt some good stuff today about capacitors, I checked out your video from Jan 2012 also. Keep up the great work mate.

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Mate!! we appreciate you watching!!☺

[@bobwhite3777]

Wow amazing that something that hasn't seen the light of day in 50+ years could come off so easily. At 7:45 you said they have brass connecting rods?!?! Did you mean bearings?? Never herd of something that has a brass connecting rod

[@805ROADKING]

Nah you heard correctly!! The whole rod is brass on all model Maytags!!☺

[@keithmccormick1272]

I WOULD BE INTERESTED IN SEEING YOU STUFF THAT CAP IN THE OLD CAP CASE . ENJOYED THE VIDEO

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Bud!! That will be in part 6!!☺

[@MissouriOldTimer]

it's odd how things change, 50 years ago you could find these engines everywhere. and they could be had for the asking , but not so anymore.

[@805ROADKING]

Yeah it's like buying Muscle Cars in the 70's for $50-$100, nobody wanted them!!☺

[@EverydayKindaGuy]

Heard a noise. Got excited anyway. You can't tell me what to do, you're not my real dad.

[@805ROADKING]

Sorry about that!! Sounds like I might have stirred up some bad memories eh!!☺

[@ml2trick]

Nice Video Series Again. Damn should never have Started Watching. Now I have to learn Something. Always a Good Watch and Nothing like " Good Blue Spark". I have My Old Merc Tronic 98 Tester. It Tests Coils Condensers etc, anything Outboard Small engine related.

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Bud!! Merc o tronic 98, state of the art in it's day!!☺

[@thomascollins72]

Another great project. Will you please talk about what this motor powered, the use of the lever, etc. Thank you.

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Bud!! Yeah if I remember!!☺

[@mjmcomputers]

Nice job on getting spark!

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Bud!!☺

[@jimcracken4590]

Good job like watching learn more every time. Thanks.

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Bud!!☺

[@Del-Canada]

Your videos are like ASMR. Very relaxing.

[@805ROADKING]

Lol!! You kill me Mate!!☺

[@chaddumas2499]

I had no idea they used brass connecting rods on these. That engine will be running in no time.

[@805ROADKING]

I've dealt with them hundreds of times an still forgot they were brass!!☺

[@yurinator7274]

Great info, thanks!!

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Bud!!☺

[@Hockey47Mitsch]

Always a good video! Say on those castle nuts for the con rod, do they really just sit on there & expect for them to go absolutely no where with some sort of the lock washer or a washer bent back to prevent it from backing off? That cotter pin, boy I'd be concerned if they started to back off, that cotter will just shear. Have you ever had one shear & blow? Good ole may tags, can never go wrong, ya know would be fun to try washing clothes & drying them with some of this older equip & engines. Thanks for the info too!

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Bud!! Nah I've never heard of anyone having problems with the nuts and cotter pins!!☺

[@victorbitter583]

Good stuff RK. can't wait to see how you fix that bigend. cheers.

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Vic!!☺

[@nickvandiver3295]

can't wait to see the Maytag purrin like a kitten

[@JoelHudson]

805ROADKING are you sayin' age sucks? If so I agree.

[@805ROADKING]

Yeah Buddy!! Nothing fun about getting old!!☺

[@MalcOfLincoln]

Agree. Approaching 70 I'm struggling, having to get more and more help. But at least we're still breathing...

[@marshallman1au]

NOT for the weak ..... :(

[@vanedwards376]

when y'all gonna get back working on the radial Briggs?

[@creamofcardstv]

Good spark! :) Great tips!

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Mate!!☺

[@joshuanichols199]

I think you should leave the patina on that engine get it running perfect clear coat the dirt and rust in and bolt it to one of your carts for your engine shows

[@KowboyUSA]

Sure could use one of those cap testers of my own.

[@805ROADKING]

I use that alot!!☺

[@graymodeler]

805ROADKING I got one of those mf testers for about $20 on EBay. Nice to have for testing the capacitors on my house air conditioning.

[@cyprusgrump]

Excellent video as always RK!

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks alot Grump!!☺

[@davish50]

Unless you have a previous video you can refer me to, I would like to see the process of replacing the guts of the condenser with the new capacitor. I don't have an urgent need, so it you will film that as part of this restoration, I would appreciate it. Thanks.

[@805ROADKING]

I did just make a video of it, probably be up in about a week!! But I do have an older video of the same process!! kzbin.info/www/bejne/bavae2OXhMilZs0

[@huck01955]

Nice work sir :)

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Mate!! I didn't know how much I missed working on these lil' guys!!☺

[@skycarl]

Those meters are fine for a lot ot stuff. Most caps don't have to be dead ass on anyway. She's a coming apart,,,

[@805ROADKING]

Yeah I use that thing alot!!☺

[@rogeroconnor5182]

good to know,your halfway done...... lol

[@805ROADKING]

Not quite!!☺

[@BrucesShop]

My Dad talked about lead babbitt bearings. Have you encountered them?

[@805ROADKING]

Yeah all the hit and miss engines I've owned had them!!☺

[@stevemccull9699]

Whats sparkplug gap on the maytag 2 prong ? 2) what color is the spark supposed to be? Mine is weak yellow! 3) my 93 had 2 condensers. Can I use only one? Rebuilt carb. New condenser, lapped cylinder walls. Got not even a putt !

[@swcook3779]

Most Capacitors have a tolerance of +10 to -20% of the stated value. Your meter is readings are OK

[@benhaley7557]

Sup

[@805ROADKING]

First, now watch the video!!☺

[@brokenwrench1]

these engines used wico ignition components new reproduction ign parts are available

[@petedazer2556]

How come you never use any kind of impact wrench for disassembly?

[@805ROADKING]

Most of the stuff I work on are antiques or collector items plus we're not in any hurry!!☺

[@aleblanc3547]

I was wondering how you were going to find a new capacitor with the tapped end on it, but I should have known if there's more than one way to skin a cat, you know 'em all! :>)

[@805ROADKING]

There's always a way, ya just gotta figure it out!!☺

[@midgyrich]

Those Maytags look fun, but they are so expensive on eBay. Where do you get them

[@805ROADKING]

We pick them up at Shows!!☺

[@tomhodgers1659]

Do at turbo

[@tedohio3038]

Got some triclopyr, what ratio did you mix it? The lable on the bottle is confusing. I am using a 2 gallon hand sprayer.Thanks

[@805ROADKING]

I use ½ cup per gallon!!☺

[@tedohio3038]

Thanks Ted

[@BorosTheGamer]

so what were these MAYTAG engines used for?

[@Cookiegrabber-]

5:20 deez nuts!!

[@campermike8879]

But how do you test a flux capacitor? :)

[@twocvbloke]

Put 1.21GW through it, if you've travelled through time, it's good... :)

[@MatthewBerginGarage]

Good vid. I love the width of those rings on these old engines. It is no wonder they rarely wear out. I found that I could get old style condensers in various configurations that match the ones on many old engines from the Brillman company. They also carry ignition parts, wiring and many electrical switches and other items. Here is a link brillman.com/ I have purchased many items from them with good results. Still waiting for an update on the Johnson twin or was it beyond help?

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Bud!! Yeah Brillman is good, we've used them for years!! The Johnson was put on the back burner, it wasn't getting many views or interest!!☺
