Wisconsin Robin EY13 Motor Restoration.

/ @ajrestoration Ladies and gentlemen, we found this motor on a broken roller blade lawnmower in our local scrapyard and decided it needed a second chance at life. This was not a total rebuild, as it was still running and not smoking.
The exterior of the motor needed a serious makeover and we chose to mix two colors of powder coating to see how it would turn out.
I hope you enjoy the video.

It's great to watch a master mechanic at work, AJ is focused, deliberate, takes great pains to get it right the first time and is a joy to watch for an ex-Air Traffic Controller that had to get it right the first time everytime. There's something about watching the meticulous work of AJ that I can watch over and over again, keep it up sir, thanks for the pleasure to watch you work!

[@AJRestoration]

Thank you! I appreciate it! I am really glad you enjoy my projects, it means a lot to me!

[@daviddaddy]

Wow!!!! You did an amazing Job restoring that little engine. I absolutely love the Color you picked! It really looks like it just came off the assembly line in the 50's or something lol probably is a early 70's. Engine maybe late 60's Beautiful Beautiful job! Thank you so much for all your hard work and hard work editing all those hours and hours of video into a Nice video for all of us. Take care and God bless you and your family. Thanks again bro. Hope you have a Wonderful day! -David Cox

[@AJRestoration]

Thank you so much for the kind comment David, I really appreciate! God bless you too buddy!

[@KainRazielMT]

I second that. I painted our EY20 close to the original color scheme. However, this shade of blue (torqoise?) makes it look more special, not just some industrial tool.

[@davidcorless5581]

IT REALLY MAKES ME LAUGH THE WAY SOME PEOPLE DO THINGS.

[@AJRestoration]

ABSOLUTELY!

[@marcelobeas3867]

I love the way you put together the spring recoil

[@laytonmananga2784]

Thanks for teaching us good job

[@AJRestoration]

Thank you so much 😊

[@ChuckKirchner-se6ib]

I loved the job, and the outcome was excellent. I have to ask a question, though. Why did you use hi-temp paint on the flywheel? It's probably the coldest part on the engine, since it's spinning in the cold intake air for cooling. The muffler should be the candidate for hi-temp paint. Will you be re-applying decals? Oh yes, I subscribed!!

[@МихаилЧетырин-г9щ]

Отлично, но не хватает наклеек как на заводе, молодец!😊

[@VintageEngineRepairs]

Hey AJ, just picked myself up an ey13 but can’t find a service manual, do you have a copy? Wonderful resto, really beautiful!

[@Alexey.M]

Отличная работа, мотор лучше нового выглядит. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@willaiml]

I really enjoyed this video, you do nice work. I do have a little constructive criticism, A little Bondo on the dents would’ve gone a long way, just an easy fill and sand. Also I thought the blue and yellow was creative but turned out looking like overspray, but of course that’s only my personal opinion and doesn’t take away from the quality of your work. Keep the videos coming you’re good at what you do

[@AJRestoration]

This is the kind of comment we really enjoy. You are right on the spot with the body work and also the color we chose. Unfortunately powder coating does not adhere to bondo or body putty, although some body work could have been done. We realise even though we have our own plans for the motor it is better to stick with original colors when doing a restoration. A close family member and veteran mechanic mentioned this. Thank you for watching and spending your time commenting on this video.

[@willaiml]

@@AJRestoration I’ve never messed with powder coating, learn something new every day! What about JB weld as a filler, they claim it can be welded so it’s probably conductive? Any thoughts?

[@AJRestoration]

We have managed to get a similar product to JB Weld and will soon do a test on the conductivity. We will let you know once we have a few results.👌👌👌

[@AJRestoration]

It is a odd color!

[@danielkelly32]

The pressure washing is works turn it off or on

[@JohnnyCarroll-wi6tx]

perfect

[@EsotericArctos]

It looks amazing, really well done. Just a couple of questions. Why did you choose powder coating instead of a high temperature/engine enamel paint for some parts? Does the powdercoat hold up to fuel / solvents and heat well? I am just curious :)

[@AJRestoration]

Powder coating is fuel and oil resistant. It does hold up to heat okay, but not to parts like the exhaust. That is done with high heat paint. Other reason I rarely use enamel paint is because I hate working with it, its messy and it stinks.

[@EsotericArctos]

@@AJRestoration That's a fair call. I don't see a lot of restorers using powder coating, so I was curious :)

[@davidtaylor6015]

Hi AJ. My name is David Taylor and I am living st.maarten. I have a engine just like that one that you working on. Can you please tell me where you get those parts from. I am looking forward for an answer. Thank you very much for your understand.

Just a suggestion, but by the looks of your thumbnail, you need to be reminded to hit the nail, the steel nail... lmao

[@jimthesoundman8641]

Beautiful job except for that blue/yellow powder coat which looks terrible. Why couldn't you get the powder mixed to a uniform consistency and color? If that had happened it would have looked fine.

[@AJRestoration]

I was experimenting with mixing colors.

[@jamesfield5346]

How more often do you change your media due to blasting paint vs shipping the paint before vlasting?

[@AJRestoration]

I do about 4 projects before changing blast media or you can say 4 of these small engines. If I strip or get rid of the paint beforehand it saves a lot of time and the need to change blast media.

Robin EY40D 10hp how to repair the CDI rectifier?

[@AJRestoration]

eBay might have some in stock.

[@Bobby-Love]

What caused the very noticable blemishes and imperfections in the coating? Would it not have been best practice to powder primer and sand between coats? Why also is there so much variation in the coating color? Dent removal if you're going this far in restoration would have added to the quality of work.
