Thanks for saving so many from so much agony starting their equipment

[@wmhamel3331]

Thanks for the video. The solution to the safter part is a small high strenght coil spring mounted on the engine crank nut or in the socket. The idea is if you are not pushing pressure onto the drive nut the small coil spring pushes the socket off of the nut. This is the safety part, it pushes the socket drive off the crank shaft drive nut as soon as you let off the push pressure on the nut. The rachet mechanism is still good but this is the real protection. Thanks for the video Wm Hamel

[@DeathByBaconHawk]

Sounds great in theory until the spring falls in your blower housing and your flywheel explodes

[@ronparker6489]

[@philiptownsend4026]

We did this recently to get our 2--stroke chainsaws started. I found that this year I couldn't cut our firewood as I had lost the strength to use the rope starter (long medical story). My brain still works though so I had a think about the urgent problem (winter coming). We bough one of these rachet adaptors and found like you that it slipped easily to set the wrong direction. As it wasn't going to be used for any other purpose I decided to ruin it with a liberal dribbling of locktite fluid either side of the setting ring. Now it doesn't move. In the spirit of ruination we also welded an old drill adapter into the ratchet adapter. So making a porpoise built dedicated tool. I was concerned about using the flywheel securing bolt to start the engine, worrying that it might come unscrewed so devised an alternative plan. We used the two 6mm threaded puller holes on the flywheel to attach small steel tabs with bolts to the flywheel and to those tabs we welded an old spare half inch drive socket spanner. The half inch socket peeps out of the flywheel cover through a 22mm hole which replaces the cord and ratchet starter mechanism. The conversions look factory made and work perfectly. I'm now looking to do the same to our 4-stroke mower engines, hoping that they too turn anticlockwise.

[@pmtips4482]

Sounds like you did awesome on the DIY homemade adapter! Thanks for watching and work safe!

[@kcarley1]

I did the same thing even before seeing this... Saves the $$$$ and the arm. Praying for further success to you, but if you find one of the other motors going the other direction just buy one more and Loctite it in the direction needed. $17 and done.

We have used the kzbin.infoUgkxOTeIs0vv4_9B5hsmnLsk9r930uDQLu_Y for probably 30 hours with our camper and it’s been great! The noise level is really only noticeable when running the AC and other appliances like the microwave, hair dryer, or coffee pot. It’s not huge like other ones and it has wheels so even at 90lbs, I can move it!

[@blutoh2]

Without this adapter you not only risk injury but you can shear the flywheel key resulting in improper timing and an engine that won't run no matter how fast you turn it over.

[@panagdimi]

Since you are concerned, 100 ft lb is approximately 135 Nm. On the average it takes about a 1,000cc displacement motorcycle to produce that much torque. The small engine in this video is capable of only a small fraction of that. Rest assured the ratchet adaptor will not be pushed beyond it's limits when trying to turn. You should be fine to start it as many times as you want for the rest of your life 😉👍

Its now 3 years later and I am wondering how long it was before your engine seized up. You really need to replace the cover over the fan to direct the cooling air flow over the fins on the cylinder.

[@Adam-fg6xl]

What if you did it with an impact wrench as opposed to a drill? If the engine were to lock, the impact would begin to "break power" thus preventing you from inuring your arm. My doubt however is the impact not having enough power to turn the engine before it "breaks". I am about to buy a set of tools, could you please test this? I would like to know what it would be worth going out of my way to do this

[@pmtips4482]

Hi Adam, sorry for the late reply. I tried a Bosch 12 volt 1/4 inch hex drive impact, and it will not work even though the impact will bury a 3 inch deck screw in treated lumber. What happens is the hammer mechanism will do exactly what it is supposed to do and hammer the crankshaft nut tighter (or unloosen it). You need the turning power of a drill, not the "hammer" power of an impact. Thanks for watching and commenting! Stay safe!!

On mine, there is plenty of time to reach up there and push the choke in. Drill noise is not a problem either. It won't mask anything the engine is trying to do. Thanks!
