Did you check the engine oil level before starting it? Chances are, if they ran the pump without oil, the Engine oil may be low or really dirty, since it's apparent that whoever used it didn't take good care of it.
nicely done. I can appreciate the work to achieve all the good edits. I have a LWD 3020 it was good to see the internals. by the look of the valves that thing was severely overheated, probably from running too long without spraying.
had a guy give me one just like this. he had run bleach threw it!LOL needless to say the aluminum pump crumbled in my hand when i went to take it off. boy she froze up solid!
i just had the same problem with an old 1960 briggs with a water pump, i took the pump bolt off and the engine started to turn over, then it was scrapping, i repositioned the pump and tigthened it up again and now the engine turns freely with the pump on
Good video and very nice score. Do those honda engines (GX or GC models) have a universal size driveshaft? Say you had a leaf blower with a honda gc engine (5.5 or 6) that quit, could you mount that gx engine on the leafblower?
That motor would be great for a go cart if you can not get the pump fixed . maybe you can get lucky and find one with a bad motor and a good pump maybe e-bay may have a pump .
It is abvsoilutely amazing how much damge is done by people ignoring oil. I bet its a 1/4 (or more) of your business. Such an easy thing to do. By the way, I did want to show I have some knowledge. The place where you can see oil in a mechanical device is called a "Sight Glass". But you are speaking Candianese so maybe you guys do call it "Eye Glass" Thats my part in giving back to you Dony!!
Remeber folks, help Dony help us, click on an advertisement or two when you view his Videos. Thanks!!
The pump manifold looks good just a few O rings to replace. I think the camshaft may be bent but I think the price of parts will make this project too expensive.
I do hope Im wrong it would be a good repair.
its a good deal on the engine if the pump is scrap.
I'm betting the cost of either a new pump or replacement parts to fix the old one will be cost prohibitive. Seems like the Honda engine is in excellent condition and for $30 consider it a deal and call it a day.
Awesome deal. If all else fails you can always resell the motor ( or it would be great for gokart or something) for close to $200.00 down here no problem. Also you could buy a pressure washer with a bad motor really cheap.
nice video dony, i have been working on presure washers this past year....picked up a couple throw a ways, that needed repair....it`s been difficult finding repair information on the pumps.so i think this would be a great area for you to continue with your repair series to include presure washers .......by the way the comet pump is an excellent pump...good luck
good buy!!
