The injector next to the flywheel is a grease stuffer. Fill the cap with grease and screw it in and it will force grease onto the end bearing.

[@Wolfhound.]

as well as find another one if that is even possible and install it where the back one should go and i think he needs a small one for another hole behind that even so it seems

[@minimonte1]

Make sure you get the old grease out first... It may stop the seals leaking. When you make a starting handle you should cut a notch out with the forward cut at an angle. That way when the engine fires it will push the starting handle off rather than catch it and spin it

[@rdg2124]

What an excellent video! For someone with little experience on these engines, you did a great job. And yes, I was talking to the screen many times. I've worked on very similar engines and while I'm sure I'll get crucified for these comments, here we go: That is a carburetor. The valve in there is actually the main check valve for the engine, no valves inside the block. The porting is as you describe. Piston draws in the fuel/air mixture as the piston goes up and then pushes it into the combustion chamber as the piston goes down. 2-cycles. The one adjustment is the needle, lean is in, richer is out. Usually, you adjust them rich for slower speeds and lean it somewhat for higher speeds. The packing nuts hold everything in place and need to be relatively tight or the engine vibration will change all the settings almost instantly. That "cough" or "sneeze" you heard several times is actually a backfire (and what probably caused all the carbon around the check valve years ago). If the engine does that, richen it up a bit. These old engines will "talk" to you and you'll figure out what it needs. Probably where that plug is on the top of the carb before it enters the block, there was a petcock that you could fill, twist open to let the fuel into the crankcase, to prime it as you described. The rod with the handle is called the timer. Like you deduced, it has points that ground the coil to cause it to generate a spark. The engine will run in either direction, doesn't matter except how the timer is set. The points close dependent on the position of that lever. If the flywheel is spinning clockwise, if the lever is to the right, the points close after the piston is past TDC or the points are retarded. Moving the timer to the left advances the time when the points close before TDC and advances the timing. Hand cranked engines like to be started with the timing retarded, it's safer and they're easier to start. You advance the timing once they're running and warming up. If the timing is too far advanced at slow speeds, the engine will slow down and can kick backwards and run the opposite way. Or, it can break the wrist of the person trying to start it. The coil is a Model T style coil. When you pulled the cover off, you pulled away what appeared to be melted tar. That is from the area where the condenser/capacitor is located, indicating that the condenser/capacitor overheated and is probably not any good. There are many videos on how to replace them and it's simple. Make sure you use to correct value and type of replacement or you'll be fighting with a bad coil. Yes, that's a grease cup to force grease into the main bearing. Probably another one should be on the other end, though since the engine would tilt that way in a boat, they may have thought it would get splash lubrication from the puddle of oil that will collect in the crankcase (no pressure lube but when the engine running, the crankcase has a mist of gas/oil in there and the oil will drop to the sump when the engine is stopped). And yes, probably all the gaskets need to be replaced or that bolts tightened, depends. You're smart and will figure it out. Can't wait to see what you do next with it. Nice engine for sure.

[@johnpossum556]

Isn't that called an updraft carb? Jay Leno talks about them sometimes. He says part of their function is to dump excess fuel safely to the ground rather than creating a fire hazard amongst other problems. That explains why the air port comes up from the bottom. It needs no air cleaner because its expecting to be in a non-dusty marine environment.

[@Miata822]

"The rod with the handle is called the timer. Like you deduced, it has points that ground the coil to cause it to generate a spark. The engine will run in either direction, doesn't matter except how the timer is set" Fairmont motors in rail inspection cars are similar. On the small cars there's no transmission, so direction of flywheel rotation determines whether you go forwards or back-up. The timing lever determines direction. I've run those rail cars, and if you are good enough, you can reverse direction by killing the voltage in wire to the buzz coil, wait until the motor is just about to stop turning, throw the timing lever to the other side, engage the wire to the coil and Bob's your Uncle, the engine will run in the opposite direction without having to crank it Crankcase seals are a big deal on these motors. If you can figure out a way to keep them air tight, that will be a great little motor.

I Had one of those in an ancient sailboat years ago, when I was just a kid. Planned on living on it cruising the Caribbean for a few years, to avoid high school.I never got it running and when the marina sold out to a big developer, I wasnt able to get the boat moved, so I lost it. This was the very curt instructions I got from the dinosaur that sold it to me: "Runs on same oil as lights and heater.. (kerosene?) This things your timing. (that lever) This way (right) goes forward, other way, goes backward. Only use it for starting. otherwise, leave it be." He explained that the vessel had no electricity. There was a row of condensers or capacitors under the coil that would hold enough spark to get it started, then "Ya yank this wire" an actual solid wire - like a coat hanger, to the plug. It would diesel from there. "Turn this if it`s cold. Turn it back `fore ya yank that wire." Referring to the butterfly/thumb screw/knob closest to the engine - choke? "This one, how fast ya WANT it to turn." (numbered knob, on mixer). "The wind and the water - they gonna fight ya. This one here fights back - makes the thing go." (the "injector"). He said if it was weak, like running out of oil, hold yer tank higher. Higher tank means more fuel. To "Stop it turnin`", hold the float down, where it pokes through the cap. "Stop it `fore ya backward it. `Member it aint got no brakes." He quickly left me, bewildered, in my new home - without a good-bye, good luck or thank you, but from halfway up the dock yells back, like an after thought, "If fuel don`t go in it, grease does, , , or the water will."

[@toddtonis]

As a mechanical engineer who regularly watches your videos, this has got to be one of my favorite one. The old technology that all the modern IC controls are based on was simple, but demanded more knowledge of how things worked and fundamental mechanics. I enjoyed your process of figuring out the air/fuel mixture process. What fun!

[@holton345]

The simpler version of a mechanical device usually requires more knowledge or skill to operate, and the version that is easier to operate is usually much more complicated to work on. Look at how kids used to buy and then hot rod cars back when they were mechanically simple, but needed a whole arcane mountain of knowledge and experience to modify, tune and master. These guys hung out together and shared what they knew. It helped to draw them together. Now cars are so complex that even professional "shadetree" mechanics are starting to disappear, and the art of hot rodding has nearly died off compared to back in the 1950s and 1960s. The cars do more of the claculating and thinking for you to maximize efficiency and monitor faults. To work on the computerization of a car is an entire extra education aside from mechanics and rather unfriendly to learn under the hood in the driveway of your buddy's house.

Usually, these old 2 cycle engines used a 16:1 fuel to oil mixture, using 30 weight non-detergent oil. The modern purple 2 cycle oil is not appropriate, for it is designed for use with ball/roller bearings. The heavier 30 wt. helps seal air leakage in the old sleeve bearings.

[@jondinneen3964]

This is a poppet valve carburetor, often found on early outboard motors. Suction from the crankcase allows atmospheric pressure to lift the valve up against the spring. When the valve is open, a metered amount of fuel is drawn along with the incoming air into the crankcase. When the valve closes, fuel flow stops.

[@tomlindo2863]

Came here to say the same thing. It operates the same function as a reed valve on the more modern 2 strokes. When the Piston goes down, stops the pressure from blasting out of the carb.

After the fuel tank that first brass container was a float cum fuel filter. They used to build the coil in old chess boxes. My Grandfather used to make munitions during WW2 and the Ministry sent a lot of equipment his way. We ended up using that Lister with a vacuum pump for donkeys years to milk the Farms here of cows. That type of engine was used for just about everything from circa 1920 onwards..cheers for the memories

Those coils work on 2, 4 or 6 volt lead acid batteries. Very rarely they worked on 2 large dry cells of 1,5v. Inside the coil, usually across the trembler contacts, there is a capacitor which usually fails after a few hours. The trembler contacts themselves are often dirty or pitted, and may need to be adjusted before it will buzz. 12v is way too much. Never use 12v. Also never run one of these coils without a spark plug connected.

You were absolutely correct when you commented on the fact that a two stroke will run in both directions. Many years ago, here in the UK, disabled people were provided with horrible little three-wheeled cars. For quite a few years, these cars were powered by 147cc Villiers two-stroke engines, driving through a motorcycle type gearbox. The problem was, motorbikes didn't have a reverse gear. To solve the problem, the engines were fitted with a second set of points to allow it to run backwards. So, to engage 'reverse gear', you had to stop the engine and flick a switch, which selected the second set of points and reversed the direction of the starter motor. If you google 'Invacar', you can see these horrible little things.

The Bond three wheeler was even more radical.. It had a 225cc Villiers engine directly above the front wheel which could gimble almost 360 degrees. So just turn the steering wheel for 180 degrees, and the thing would be going backwards, or any combination in-between.

[@chuckhaynes6458]

Many early 2 stroke engines (example Fairmont Rail Inspection Cars) used a timing lever to alter the timing to allow it to be run in reverse thereby saving the need for a transmission reverse. If you're good at it you can switch it off then as it stops rotating move the lever and switch it back on to save a restart. Been there.

[@tomharrell1954]

The arm connected behind the fly wheel is a spark advance. It should be more to the left anti clock wise to start giving less advance. After a few minutes and the engine is hot you can move it clockwise to increase the timing advance. The carburetor also should be adjusted to give more fuel. I think this originally ran on kerosine or A1 jet fuel.

My grandfather used to have an old sandshoe that he would put on to kick start it. It has an ignition system called an exciter operated by a cam on the crankshaft that lifts a sliding yoke up and drops it through a cool to make the spark. Crank and bigend bearings are white metal and easily repaired. There are no crankshaft seals and it relies on snug bearings with a bit of grease to suck the fuel into the crankcase.

Inside the wooden box are two coils one primary to close the relay the points open and kicks the secondary coil to put out the high voltage to the plug. Your doing fine. Keep it up.

[@scheusselmensch5713]

Watching you "adjust" that grease cup lubricator gave me a good laugh after a long day. Thanks very much.

[@woodstockpotter]

They got reverse by running the engine "backwards" that is it will run comfortably in either direction. I never ran one of these but they tell me you just slowed the engine right down, shifted the timing and it would go in the other direction. Our old boat had a one cylinder but four stroke engine with a gear box. . The coil (wooden box) just has the coil packed in pitch. No need to open it, Model T had four of those, one per cylinder. It is just an induction coil. The vibrating contacts give you a lot of spark and it needs maybe six volts to run. Coil should buzz when it's working. The set screw on the contacts is to adjust the oscillation. Thanks for the video; it brought back a flood of memories.

Grease cap on the front, for that bearing, screw it in for somewhat constant pressure(light)to keep the bearing lubed. Please re-route the ignition wire so it's not rubbing on the flywheel ;) And use teflon tape on the main threads of that fuel body to not only seal, but keep it away from that crank-bolt. Good job getting it going though, and playing w/ancient crap is my nirvana too ;)

@@BigMouth380cal On old cars that had the advance on the steering column that was standard practice for starting. I was yelling at the screen about the grease cup!!!

[@davekimbler2308]

I call it a air / fuel metering device! And that’s a grease packer , I use corn head grease and you load the cup and screw it on , by screwing it in it forces the grease onto the crank bushing . The cork floats are hard to find but if you go onto the AOMCI web page you might find parts !

[@keithweiss7899]

Pretty cool! I’m surprised you didn’t recognize a Model T ignition coil. Concerning these old engines, most from that era were + ground. Not that it made any difference in your engine. Also, 6 volts was the standard. Be careful about using 12 on some things. Over voltage can burn out the primary or secondary on those. In the 60’s and 70’s the Whites company still had Tractors for Semi tractor/trailers that were + ground. I was forever repairing CB’s that were damaged by hooking them up without a fuse. Strangely enough there were vacuum tube radios made that didn’t care which type ground you used! The 6 volts lit the tube filaments and a vibrator, similar to what you have there, produced the high voltage for the tubes. So it really didn’t matter which way they were hooked up. Just as long as the voltage wasn’t used as a tube bias on one of their grids.

[@lifuranph.d.9440]

FORD trucks were + ground until the mid 60's.

Mustie you're missing a second grease injector on the rear bearing! Otherwise it won't get proper lube!!! It's got the front injector though, just pack it full of moly grease.

[@robstirling3173]

At 41.37, that is the front main bearing grease cup, the rear one is missing. ( get some oil on it). The bit in the centre of the carb which seems to be stuck is a vacuum valve, opened and closed by crankcase pressure. The top screw limits the valve opening( air supply). Those engines were used in the old fishing boats, usually started by kicking across the top of the flywheel. Dry batteries powered the Model T ignition coil. The button on the top of the advance/retard lever ( is it stuck) should lock it in the run positions for forward/reverse.

[@sleeper98]

This may be my favorite so far. I really enjoy seeing old tech brought back to life. Hope to see more videos on this one!

[@jackcurtis1585]

The big cap just behind the flywheel is a grease port keep it paced full .it melts away gradually as it runs to lubricate the crank

I have a old marine 2 stroke. 1924. Uses petrol and 'motor engine lubricated 2 power oil' in about 12:1

[@EnglishTurbines]

Nearly first...damn..The stem going down to the main bearing behind the flywheel is a built in grease gun..for greasing the front bearing, just turn it to pump grease..

[@David-yo5ws]

Mustie1: You bent the L shaped 'friction' plate on the needle valve adjuster (it rubs against the knurling on the edge of the brass screw) when you undid the flange nut to get it off. It will stop it turning, when you get that beautiful old engine refurbished. I was on edge until you finally clamped it to the table. Great perseverance! Great entertainment! Great comments from all those who have worked on these years ago.

Its is an updraft carburetor that has a separate bowl. The adjustment screw on the side is for the idle/primary mixture. The adjustment screw on the top is adjusting the air flow that draws the fuel past the primary "jet". Probably the closest thing on a modern carb would be the high speed adjustment. That piece under the spring also is acting as the reed valve and not letting air from under the piston back out on the down stroke.

Well done!!!! I love old Marine engines. If that was closer to the 1900s then I would imagine it had a manual Crank to start, if it were closer to the 1930s it may have had a removable electric starter, both of which were very dangerous. I think you're on the right track with a gravity-fed injector, sometimes those old cork floats relied on pressure to aid in staying afloat. Either way I loved it sir, can't wait to see you work on it some more. I love your videos and look forward to each and every one, Jimmy

Why is it so satisfying to take an old engine that hasn't run in years, and getting it to run? My Grandfather was born in 1901, and worked on engines from the time he was nine, until he retired in 1979, and was a first rate mechanic. My father was born in 1925, worked in his father's repair shops until he retired in 2010. He repairs farm tractors "on the side" today, at 96 years of age. My son, and step-son's are both excellent mechanics. As for me, I can fix just about any older engine, (without all this computer crap), but I was a Police Officer!
