MAYTAG WASHING MACHINE ENGINE START & RUN

[@JimsEquipmentShed]

Oddly enough, thats the first time I've seen that engine run, it purrs like a kitten Dirtbike! You should put a link in your description box to the first video of the rebuild, anyone coming into this cold will have no idea just how much work was involved in this restoration. Amazing job!

My grandfather used a gas-powered washing machine motor to power a ride-on cart he built around 1960. Even had a little trailer hooked-up! It had enough power to carry him, with one of us kids driving the cart! I'll never forget that starter pedal!

Well done mate, its great to feel proud of something, can hear it in your voice

[@not2fast4u2c]

Anice running and clean looking little engine I like seeing and hearing it run

[@epd807]

Great restoration! I had a model 72 when I was a kid...not nearly as nice as yours. Love the vids!

[@garyingersoll2460]

nice looking and great sounding little engine....

[@JimsEquipmentShed]

The world of youtube has very little institutional memory, some times you have to help the tubers out so they know what happened in the past. Yea, you are creating history! B-)

[@motoforlyfe]

[@tectalabyss]

Hey Dirtbike. Man that sounds great. Big Thumbs Up!. Thank you for sharing. Tec

[@somerandomguy3868]

Sounds great, how is it with a load on it?

[@motoforlyfe]

That's a good idea Jim, I think I will do that!

[@motoforlyfe]

Thanks Joe! I am real proud of this one

[@Bigjoedo66]

Another nice engine Dirtbike!!

[@motoforlyfe]

If you get them cleaned up they always run great!

[@motoforlyfe]

I've been looking for a washer but I don't have any room for it in the garage!

[@1944johndeerel]

they are nice running engines!

[@JasonSmith-vd1sz]

Very nice, is it for sale?

[@motoforlyfe]

Thank you Ron, it's almost as nice as Barney!

[@motoforlyfe]

I had an old camera that cut off the sound when you zoomed in and out!

[@motoforlyfe]

Thanks Jim!

[@motoforlyfe]

Thanks Mick!

[@Chip1189]

Is there a way to put a carburetor with a throttle on this?

[@isntwhatitis4920]

I got the same one from my father he told me it runs before he passed what gas do you use and what oil

[@motoforlyfe]

Runs like a roadking engine eh! Thanks Tec

[@motoforlyfe]

Thanks!

[@oliverkiymaz5124]

Show me how do you control the engine speed

[@rdmanone]

Real nice.

[@timefink1]

Maybe it is time to expand the garage, look at all the neat stuff you could collect.

[@joecoool100]

wow you dont normally think of a two stroke twin cylinder motor working at low idle speed and purring like a kitten.....is that the working speed of this mortor?? very nice work btw

[@motoforlyfe]

+joecoool100 Yes you can get them to spin a little faster but that is about the working speed

[@motoforlyfe]

I put a lot of work into this one to make it look that good!

[@WB3LA]

Excellent! :o)

[@paperweightgirl]

Good job.

[@isaaclang6031]

Talking stops at 1:15.

[@followthebakri4814]

Hi, can u please tell me where to buy this engine ?

[@1944johndeerel]

look at mine it runs great and is not cleaned up. I still have to tear it down and trade the rods out of my parts engine it knocks for some reason

[@dojmike]

How much does it weigh? Just wondering if this would be a good motor for a home-built airplane.

[@motoforlyfe]

Sorry for the late response! This engine weighs quite a bit, much too heavy for an airplane

[@timefink1]

Its not complete untill you but it back on the washing machine and do the wash for mom.ha Ha good luck with all that and Thanks!

[@motoforlyfe]

What did you do to it man? haha

[@TheWreckingYard]

Cool

[@mattpeacock5208]

Why not power a go cart with it?

[@Paradyski]

My father converted washing machine engine onto mower :)

[@joshg6734]

This is a hit and miss engine correct?

[@motoforlyfe]

Throttle governed. Not Hit and miss

[@rikkiesix]

Smooooth :-) Greetings Erik
