CONNECTING ROD Repair On 9HP Tecumseh Snowking PART 2 of 2

[gokartkid25]

I have a Briggs 11 hp powerbuilt. I rebuilt it. When putting together the governer gear fits on the end of the cam but isn't held in place at all. It also serves as the oil sling. I used the governer arm to keep pressure on the gear while putting back on the cover. Do you think that is on there correct. The arm doesn't gat stuck and the shaft doesn't get stuck at all. I just wanted to know before starting it so there is little risk of damage

[Wheelhorsec121lover1]

does a kohler k301as have those timing notches on the cam and crank?

[donyboy73]

@Wheelhorsec121lover1 i think so

[crippledrider]

Hey buddy;I enjoy your videos alot,very informative.I got a new ariens snowblower a year ago.I am very familiar with the tecumseh snow king engine,this ariens has a B&S,Ive been told B&S engines are not as durable as the tecumseh.Just wondering if you could give your opion on this...Thank you Cliff

[donyboy73]

@crippledrider hard to say, the new briggs are more quiet and reliable i think

[thegenrl]

@donyboy73 i'll agree with that 100% sadly, i've see the honda gx series being better than both. agree?

[ConkersBFDN64]

Was the surface on that crankshaft scored? And when you sanded the crankcase where the gasket goes, I would have tipped it over so that the dust doesn't go into the crankcase.

[MrPuch78]

About your rtv silicone do you let it dry or do you just put it on. i put it on the carb of my 6.5 hp tecumseh toro lawnmower with out letting it dry and it seems to work fine. just wanted to know what you do

[donyboy73]

@MrPuch78 i don't bother to let it dry, no need to

[andrew07kelly]

Hey dony after you put a new connecting rod in a engine and you put oil in it do you run the engine for a little bit then put new oil in it and do use 10W-30 or 5W-30

[donyboy73]

@andrew07kelly usuLLY 5W30, NO NEED TO Rreplace the oil right away

[duckmaester]

instructive, detailed, easy to understand and professional. Black gloves are a tad Dr Strangelove, but excellent vid n onetheless

[ireload2]

Why not put in new rings and crankshaft seals for a few dollars more?

[rhebstriet]

i have a 6.5 hp ohv engine this helped me on that. thanks

[suzyoc1025]

Did this same repair on a 10HP tecumseh. Connecting rod shattered and was replaced. But now have governor issues since I put it back together. Is there a was to adjust the throttle on this. The only way to start the engine is to manually move the throttle. It runs fast and doesn't seem to have a slow throttle speed anymore?????????HELP

[theimaginator16]

God isn't it such a great feeling when they fire up after you fix them like that! SHE LIVES!!!!!!!!

[TheBluethunder3320]

good job, nice to see it revived instead of parted out like they usually are.

[tscholent]

think I have commented on your clips before but I just want to tell you again what a great teacher you are and hope that if you're not , you might want to consider a teaching career...also thank you for all the fun I had watching your clips...

[donyboy73]

@tscholent thanks, you never know where this could lead to

[steven8979]

Awesome video! I have a MTD Yard Machines Snowblower from 1994 .8 HP & It runs very ruff! If I made you a video response could you do a diagnostic on it? Thanks!

[IHcubcadet]

Great vid. Say do you know if a HMSK-90 has a cast iron cylinder liner?

[donyboy73]

@IHcubcadet not sure if it has cast iron cylinder

[383chevystroker]

nice video! good info man!

[donyboy73]

@383chevystroker thanks dude

[bctruck]

One more question.I really admire your neat and orderly shop do you have a video of how it's set up and how you hang your tools?if not,would you consider doing one?thanks

[donyboy73]

@bctruck type this in the search box GARAGE SHOP TOUR of donyboy73's shop

[bctruck]

I'm curious about price only because I have hopes of getting out of the trucking business after 30 years,and repairing small engines. How much (Canadian)would you charge for a job like this not including parts?do you charge by the hour or do you have a set fee for a particular job?thanks. I'm glad I found it. You make it sound so easy even a caveman can do it!LOL!

[wheely132]

ok great how to vid but why did the connecting rod need changed?

[donyboy73]

@wheely132 it snapped

[benrobinson72]

great vid

[ringbolt9]

excellent man! you did a great job. is there a reason why you wouldnt put new rings on it while it was apart?  or you just wanted to keep the cost down?

[donyboy73]

@ringbolt9 it's very rare that they need changing. i left them in because it had good compression before the rod broke

[motorhead45102]

well good job on fixing your engine, pretty well informed and im sure this will help alot of people, I have never fixed a tech. engine. I also had a tech. engine that threw a rod, but the block was beyond fixable, the cylinder wall was cracked all the way to the head.

[sferrari81]

So, I took my engine apart before I watched this video. I didn't keep track of which lifter was intake and which was exhaust. How do I determine which is which?

[donyboy73]

@sferrari81 at this point don't worry about it

[sferrari81]

@donyboy73 - Thanks.

RATED & SUBSCRIBED!!

Great channel donyboy73. Guys like you MAKE youtube. Keep up the good work.

[GarrettJDB]

dont you want to torque the sump cover in a star pattern

[PGXI]

hey donyboy got a ???. for yah

i have the same tecumseh 9 hp engine on a craftsman snowblower and the sears manual says to use 20 oz. of 5/20

and tecumseh says it takes 26oz. of 5/20 ? what do you think i put 20 oz in and always have to add oil .thanks

[donyboy73]

do what tecumseh says. also the dipstick is what will tell you for sure

[Smallgasengine1]

did you reuse the old piston?

[donyboy73]

yes

[donyboy73]

yes it would not run proper if at all

[Smallgasengine1]

what if you had the cam gear teeth not straight with the mark on the crankshaft would the engine not run right?

[SuperKONR]

@Smallgasengine1 It wouldnt. It would make the valves open at the wrong time and make it backfire etc.

[1972FordF150]

Well that's what I wanted to see. How to time the cam. It's the same as Briggs engines isn't it ? good job on fixing the engine !! 5/5

[donyboy73]

yea pretty well the same as briggs. thanks for 5 stars

[1972FordF150]

Ok cool !! and no problem !!!
