Stuck Yamaha Engine - Will It Run?

[@doublewide6]

nice, job on this one. At the price of these Chinese units they truly are not worth rebuilding especially when the parts are so expensive. Does HF make a motor that will bolt on for $100?

[@jcondon1]

Unfortunately HF does not sell tapered shaft engines. Otherwise I would be their best customer. I heard the price went up on the $99 212. Currently selling for $140

It's interesting to see what was done but the reality is 90% or more of the people who watch this aren't going to tackle this kind of project. You just have to know what you are doing or it's going to be a "fail". I like to tinker, can find these types of generators on line for sale and pick them up for 25 to 50 bucks. But still not going to try and repair them, we all know our limits :)

Maybe you could use the engine for a go cart, over ride the governor and see how long it lasts. I know a dumb idea, but not being able to get parts to rebuild, I would try it.

[@bertgrau3934]

@@melonbobful You know that MIGHT be possible. The piston would have to be only a few thousands bigger than the stock piston, except the piston pin would need to be in the same position as the original. I would say yes, it could be done, as for the piston rings just get a set of rings for the piston you're going to use the file fit to fit the cylinder. It could be done, but it would take a good machine shop to measure, and machine the piston to work. The cylinder would probably need to be honed as well . The problem is, while it COULD be done, the cost could be more expensive than it would be worth. Just my opinion. Just thinking, you could possibly even use a good used piston, and rings. The first thing would be measure the cylinder, if it needs to be honed, or bored , figure out what it would take to make the cylinder round. Then try to find a piston that might work, measure it if it's very close. Maybe bore the cylinder to fit the piston (the best idea) or machine the piston to fit the cylinder, which ever might be easiest. That's really not a bad idea.

Broken fin more than likely from someone wedging a screw driver to un-seize the piston. Nice work.

Hello James. Im from Sydney Australia. I just wanted to say what a absolutly Great job you do in your videos. You point out the problems and outline possible issues to look out for. Im in construction, and I have no experience with motors but your videos gave me the push I needed to take on a project. I hire generators for a day or 2 sometimes at about $100 a pop.Watching your videos I bought a stuck generator for $79. It took me a week of after work dabbling but i managed to get it fully functioning its only a 3KVA but it meets my needs for now. Thank you very much. I look forward to your next video. Regards Gera

[@rlvtrader]

I left my Homelite 5000 generator outside under the covered part of the the deck for a year. When I went to start it last year it was seized like this generator. So I left it in my garage for another year till I got a chance to look at it. I put WD-40 in the spark plug hole and waited 1 day but it would not budge. So I put in a ton more WD-40, tilted the engine like you did and bam it unseized the next day. So next I checked the carburetor and I saw that it looked like this one :( So I'm afraid water got in my engine. I don't know if it's worth it to proceed, but I'm learning a lot from you. Thank you so much for posting this video.

[@rlvtrader]

Out of curiosity I wanted to see if the cylinder was pitted. I put the piston down to the bottom stroke and put in a camera probe to see if I could get a glimpse. Unfortunately there was tons of rust. The weird part is that the rust was at the top half of the cylinder with none at the bottom half. This sealed it for me. I'll clean up the carburetor and see if it starts, but either way I'm just going to sell it cheap to someone for parts.

[@martin4787]

Hi James, it's the Land Rover mechanic from England. I was wondering when you'd start lapping in the valves with the drill lol. You could change the cylinder liner by warming the block in Mrs Condon's oven, or making a dolly and pulling it out if you've got a liner that measures up out of another block James. Now that would make an interesting video James.

@@jonathanfenne4948 Hi Jonathan. Are you saying that there's a lip at the bottom of the aluminium casting that stops the liner slipping down into the block, because I've replaced many dry liners in aluminium blocks without any problems. All i did was to bore them out and press the replacement liner in with metal loctite. I grant you that it probably isn't cost effective, but would still make an interesting video.

I am an old time motorcycle mechanic. Every spring we would get two or three locked up bikes. (Triumphs mostly) It's not that they sat outside but usually they were stored in a garage with an unvented dryer and the cylinder, with the open intake valve, would rust. We would first loosen the valves until they closed.We made a tool to screw down into the spark plug hole and with it we could put air pressure on top of the piston. We would squirt WD40 down the bore and put 120PSI air pressure on it. Did the trick.

When laping the valve, you could use a piece of hose on the stem, and add a piece or round stock at the other end of the hose. You can grab that round stock in the drill. Make sure that the fit between them, are fairly tight. I have used the power head removal, with the water and it worked great. Thank you for the tip.

Hone bore, replace ring with +. 0025" on bore, -.0015" groove, main journal bearing surfaces should have held up, scotch Brite and double check clearance. In my former engine days, I dremmeled an oil groove on the rod bore, nothing fancy but increases oil in the area. I found early model motor cycle engine parts were exact drop in !

[@neil6212]

Replacement parts cost pretty well suggests that it was never intended to be repaired. A Chinese clone of a Honda, Yamaha, or other engine in the 13HP range would carry an OEM price of $80-100. The Chinese heads with brush rotor design "should" cost well under $100. The company I retired from after many years, tested a wide range of engines, generator heads, and pressure washer pumps, both the real thing and others, for which I worked out and built the load test equipment, built to the design concept of one of our engineers. We stuck with Honda GX series, Briggs Vanguard, and Subaru. In the lower price area, almost all of them were Briggs L head, then later I/C. We used heads from Italy, as they were found to be the best in our sizes, then later made ours in house. Your site reminds me of the many "adventures" we experienced! When the Chinesium units started pouring in, it pretty well ruined the portable generator business. Retailers could sell them for less than the cost to produce a good one.

[@Farm_fab]

Yesterday there were two matching generators some contractor had scrapped. Unfortunately, both were missing the same parts, so no chance of getting either running. I believe both were Honda clones. Maybe next time I'll get something good. I did find a couple goodies there, but not as nice as another scrap yard the previous day. I found a Snap on bearing puller tool. It's the one that goes under the bearing, and slides together with bolts.

Great video! At least you did not make the viewers sit through removal of all nuts and bolts and those few were high speed shots. One tool I wish I had was an ultrasonic parts cleaner, great for carbs. One trick I use is to flush the lower end with diesel when there is water present and let it dry out completely. Even use compressed air to help dry it out. Its good to fill the crank case with high quality oil and flush it out and refill with fresh oil. When you flush out with clean oil its good to turn it all angles to get that oil to the bearings.

Nice hack using that drill to lap those valves. Most of the top ends I take off are too cramped inside for clearance of that drill chuck. Thanks for the video.

I have been grinding valves this way for 40 years, the work-around in tight places is to use a rubber fuel line type hose and attach with clamps to valve and a pin in drill chuck, works great.

@@jcondon1 I still think it was worth the money. The tank, and engine aren't worth saving, but the rest of it is savable. I had a generator that sat outside for twenty years. Had to rebuild the carb because it was all gummed up, but it ran fine afterwards. The only way that much water could have gotten into that generator is if someone left the tank cap off, and the fuel valve on, and the float was stuck open. It was apparent from the pictures that the tank had at one time had a lot of water in it, and the cylinder looked as it had been completely full of water. This could only lead to the conclusion that it had been submerged for a period of time, and the water not being removed. If it was fresh water, and the water had been removed soon enough, this generator would have been savable. But that aside another great video.

Even with the bypass on the rings, after you ground the valves I think this engine was still producing 10 hp. The problem is if you used it for a genset it would run out of oil in less than an hr. So my guess since it wasn't knocking it would be OK to sell with a honed cylinder and new rings.
