A couple of thing 1 Thats not a two stroke its a 4 (OHV!) number 2the fuel filling up in the intake will not make it harder to shut down! It would make it harder to start
hahahahahah dubass. that was a 2 stroke ohv idle speed. haha 8k rpm hhahahahahah. learn more about the difference of a 2 stroke and a 4 stroke. 2 strokes are higher reving engines to creat as much power as a four stroke would. 2 strokes are usually lawnmower engines and early dirtbike engines. because 2 stroke engines rev higher u cant make them street leagal due to the emitions put out. i 250cc 2 stroke dirt bike would top out about 15k rpm which is super loud. a four stroke tops at 9-10
@radvette20 Dude your the idiot! I work on a 318 all the time and it runs at 3600 rpm, not 6000 dumbass. It's spelled onan not ohnan. And stop referring to a pedophile who you wish you could be.
The float is full of fuel, the crankcase is full of fuel, If you keep running it you will wash the engine and ruin it. Fix the carb, install a inline shut off valve, and drain crankcase and put in fresh oil.
i HATE that feeling. like something like that happens and you lose all feeling, and have noo idea what to do? hate that feeling unless its in a positive sense.
@johndeere445 yes I know what you mean exactly I have a 95 toro wheelhorse and I started the deck and it would not go off turned the key the lawnmower did not shut off few days later i use it again I get off the deck started on its own scared the shit out of me
fuck this guy pisses me off, my old briggs 8hp ran for 30 minutes threw mud and water and barely on any oil all while it was revved as possibly can go, it blew up after that u didnt ever rev at all
4,000 rpm is it's maximum work limit, not it's redline, that's around 5,000 rpm. So it wouldn't be overreving then. Btw that didn't run that high, so you kinda freaked out for no resone.
The ignition switch kills the spark, it does not shut down the fuel. On gas engines that's how they shut them down. If you shut down the fuel, the engine will run until the fuel bowl is empty. Where did you hook up the battery booster? Depending on how it was hooked up, it could bypass the ignition switch or (and I'm not sure because I don't know how it's wired) if the ignition switch shorts the magneto to ground for the off position, the contacts could be corroded.
dumb ass, that gas in the air intake has nothing to do with the high rev, sounds like your governor spring is bad, or missing, and the ignition ground wire is missing, i have a mower like that, i always just kill it with the choke.
Anyone saying that was not damaging doesn't know that Tecumseh engines shouldn't rev that fast. They are horribly made and rev at lower RPM. youtube.com/watch?v=vIqxmw1raTE&feature=channel
dude...my john deere 318 has an ohnan motor runs comfortably at about 6000 rpm..........and just because there is fuel in the air filter wouldnt stop the key from turning it off..the key completely kills the spark...DIP SHIT..stop trying to be like dave
First of all that engine was not running that fast. Second of all you panic for no reason, that gets people killed so chill the fuck out. Third it didn't shut off cause of wiring or bad ignition not cause of gas. The worst part is people trust you to fix shit.
what that was no where nere fuckin 4000 rpm or 8000 that peace of shit tecumseh would have never made it to that kind of rpm's them moters are junk i got a fucking briggs and stration that bored 40 over makin 90 hp and it will only make 2500 rpn at wide open and by the way you gas problem is becaues the flots are stuck in the carb jack ass
floats are leaking thats only a start probly why the key wouldent shut it of but magically killing the spark actually made it shut off!!! i remember my first case of beer!!
This is amazing you can pay a guy who absolutely knows nothing about small engine repair to help you fix your engine....Thank God for these people they are the ones i charge more for.
you sped up the vid when it fired look how fas he moves...imposible...so the motor was running normal but with the vid speed sped up it sounded like it was over revving
THIS VID IS BS!!!!!!!!!! ive run my tec at 5k rpm! 6k with a mikuni ! 8k revs sounds more like ricer! gas in the carb doesnt cause the engine not to shut off! that was either your key switch or your soleniod! old gas doesnt ignite good anyway! you just dont know what the hell your doing and that mower is old so thats two things against you city kid! i love my tec by the way. 1994 model year and still all original! ive mowed more yards with it than most people have in a lifetime!
That was not even close to 8k rpm's my friend. Maybe 2500 at best as it was miss firing...what makes you think that was 8k rpm's? depending on engine condition and metallurgy variances, that engine would come apart between 4500-6000...the valves would float preventing it from developing enough power to be capable of reaching anyway near 8k, especially with a blade on it.
yea defently not 4000 rpms cuz the govinors will atomaticly choke the engion if it ever axceds 3600 rpms u just over reacted cuz u thought it was going to run at low idel not high pu pu pu pu pusy
The key SHOULD HAVE SHUT IT OFF. When you turn the key off it shorts the coil to ground so the magneto can't make a spark. No spark - no run. Thus BAD SWITCH!! And if that was 8000rpm I'm deaf. And if the rpm was greater tahn 4000 you also have a bad GOVERNOR/LINKAGE. MAINTAIN YOUR MACHINE!!!
u are an idiot!!! take care of your shit so you dont have these problems in the first place. and fix the god damn fue leak before you run the engine and catch shit on fire. MORON.
That wasn`t even close to 4k rpm.! Just sounded fast because it ran loud and rough. This kid is an amateur. 79 fordblake is correct too. Fuel in the carb will not keep it running. the spark does.
thats what took engine so long to start,,it had to clear cylinder of all that gasoline....thats what was coming out of the muffler when it was cranking over. you have stuck float or dorty float needle or, even possible pinhole in the float...crappy carbs on those engines too.
i build and race raceing lawnmowers and i know that the stock motor does not have enough cam to turn that high plus it was only turning about 3600 no matter how much gas its gettin the govorner wont let it tach any higher. oh by the way you need a float bowl gasket for sure
ok no offense to you, i dont think a battery has to do with shutting the engine off, the battery is what powers up the starter motor and the headlights, and the high voltage coil (if equipped), and if the engine is solid state, all it takes is a kill wire touching the ground to shut the engine off, and if the wire is broken or loose, that's why the engine didn't shut off, dunno what he trying to do, but if he don't know how to work on an engine, he should have taken it to a shop, he's lucky
LOL, I went from doing this same kind of shit when I was 12 to building a 350 up and stuffing it into my chevy s-10 by the time I was 18...Gotta start somewhere.
I had a murray that I would have to lift the hood up and put some tension on the harness to start it. could have traced it out but it kept everyone else from playing around on it and didnt have to hide the key:)
All Tecumseh engines are bad for thier carbs...also that wasn't just oil on your wall, 85% of that was gas because the carb was stuck and overflowing, 10% was carbon buildup from the muffler and it come out cause the gas broke it loose. the last 5% was oil from setting so long. Good luck with the carb though.
that's not overerving.. it was maybe at like 2500-3000rpm which is well within the "safe" operating zone. the oil it was spraying out of the exhaust looks like it was just fuel that leaked into the cylinder and mixed with the carbon and tinted it black. your carb float or float bulb probably needs to be replaced. nothing to get too worked up about lol.
looks like your float has a hole in it. also the reason it reved so high isnt because of the fuel in the airfilter it is the fast the throttle plate is froze in the wideopen possition. and that isnt oil on the wall it is the extra gas that flooded up your cylinder.
ok first off the machine will shut off with the key regarless of how much gas you have in the airfilter housing or going to the engine. What shuts off the engine is the spark, not the fuel, so you have a bad ground or bad key switch. Second thats not oil on the wall its gas, thats cause your float in the carb is stuck open and causeing your carb to fill up with fuel and fill up the engine block.
my snow blower did that in my 8x10 shed and it took offout the door it when the Tecumseh have a prob with the govners they will get stuck wide open and y the key wouldnt shut it off it bc the spark will jump and keep going if u pull the keys out it doesnt care that its suposto stop and my snow blower was on slow if it was at max it woulda blow
I hate Tecumseh engines and thats one of the reasons why. Well, thats your problem! It has the need for speed so it can rip itself apart! HAHA POS Thanks for sharing!
Most engines will take 4000 RPM for a moment. Once you start going over that, it will bomb eventually. Some engines are known to be tougher than others. The old Briggs 8 and 9 series push mower engines in particular, are known for taking the redline in stride. On the other end of the spectrum are engines like the Briggs 28 series. They have failed even when not abused. In many cases, it wasn't wear that killed them, but weak conrods.
Haha - I don't think that was quite 8000RPM. It's hard to tell with it missing so much but I'm not sure that was even over 3000RPM (Generators usually run 3300RPM to produce 60hz. power)
hm If your meter is not configured for a wasted spark ignition then you'd get a reading 2x higher than actual. A lawn mower fires on each revolution rather than only the power stroke like the majority of engines. Or I'm just plain wrong.
Correction, you ARE correct! After you made that comment, I double checked my digital meter, and yes, I forgot to program it for this engine. So yeah, the rpms were probably around 4000. Thanks for pointing that out!
It would run for up to a hour before it blows up. I´ve ran a lawnmower without oil and with thr wrong oil and it just wouldent seize, even tho most compression was gone and slightest resistance would stop it.
much worse, a diesel has no intake air throttle and makes as much speed/power as it can until it explodes if the governor fails. if you're fast, you could cut the fuel line or on the old diesels, some have an emergency shutoff flap that blocks all air going into the intake.
I saw it happen on a old bus when I worked as a diesel mechanic. It was a detroit diesel 6v71. it started with spark coming out the muffler and threw the crank out the bottom in pieces. very very scary.
No, What happened was the engine was very badly overfilled with engine oil. It started coming through the crankcase breather into the air intake. Oil and diesel and both fuels to a compression ignition engine. The amount of power they make is proportionate to how much "fuel" they get, period. It sucked a ton of oil in an a 250HP engine probably made 5,000 HP for about 30 secs. until it self-destructed. Crankcase breather oil intake and mechanical injector failure is what causes it.
Good thing it's not a diesel!

your carb leaking at the bottem on the techumse means you need a new seal washer on the brass screw that holds the bowl up..
if its an upper ring seal in the bowl then you replace that one as well..
also dont use old gas always use fresh stuff ,

LOL, I went from doing this same kind of shit when I was 12 to building a 350 up and stuffing it into my chevy s-10 by the time I was 18...Gotta start somewhere.

u must have a short in your electrical thats why the key didnt shut it off it wasn't because u got gas in the air cleaner

I had a murray that I would have to lift the hood up and put some tension on the harness to start it. could have traced it out but it kept everyone else from playing around on it and didnt have to hide the key:)

All Tecumseh engines are bad for thier carbs...also that wasn't just oil on your wall, 85% of that was gas because the carb was stuck and overflowing, 10% was carbon buildup from the muffler and it come out cause the gas broke it loose. the last 5% was oil from setting so long. Good luck with the carb though.

that was not oil it was gas flooded in the exhaust

that's not overerving.. it was maybe at like 2500-3000rpm which is well within the "safe" operating zone. the oil it was spraying out of the exhaust looks like it was just fuel that leaked into the cylinder and mixed with the carbon and tinted it black. your carb float or float bulb probably needs to be replaced. nothing to get too worked up about lol.

didnt sound like very high rpm to me, sounded like it was missfireing to much.
rcjg24 2 years ago 3
looks like your float has a hole in it. also the reason it reved so high isnt because of the fuel in the airfilter it is the fast the throttle plate is froze in the wideopen possition. and that isnt oil on the wall it is the extra gas that flooded up your cylinder.
daphill 2 years ago
ok first off the machine will shut off with the key regarless of how much gas you have in the airfilter housing or going to the engine. What shuts off the engine is the spark, not the fuel, so you have a bad ground or bad key switch. Second thats not oil on the wall its gas, thats cause your float in the carb is stuck open and causeing your carb to fill up with fuel and fill up the engine block.

my snow blower did that in my 8x10 shed and it took offout the door it when the Tecumseh have a prob with the govners they will get stuck wide open and y the key wouldnt shut it off it bc the spark will jump and keep going if u pull the keys out it doesnt care that its suposto stop and my snow blower was on slow if it was at max it woulda blow

I hate Tecumseh engines and thats one of the reasons why. Well, thats your problem! It has the need for speed so it can rip itself apart! HAHA POS Thanks for sharing!
Peace :)

These engines used to throw rods from new. Used to be part of the Fiat group.

Most engines will take 4000 RPM for a moment. Once you start going over that, it will bomb eventually. Some engines are known to be tougher than others. The old Briggs 8 and 9 series push mower engines in particular, are known for taking the redline in stride. On the other end of the spectrum are engines like the Briggs 28 series. They have failed even when not abused. In many cases, it wasn't wear that killed them, but weak conrods.

hahah i bet it was about 3K at most. thing sounded like it was missing more then it was firing
NRP1991 3 years ago
Haha - I don't think that was quite 8000RPM. It's hard to tell with it missing so much but I'm not sure that was even over 3000RPM (Generators usually run 3300RPM to produce 60hz. power)

According to the tach and SPM meter (sparks per minute) attached to the spark plug wire, it did.
DanielJaegerFilms 3 years ago
hm If your meter is not configured for a wasted spark ignition then you'd get a reading 2x higher than actual. A lawn mower fires on each revolution rather than only the power stroke like the majority of engines. Or I'm just plain wrong.
vreference 3 years ago
Correction, you ARE correct! After you made that comment, I double checked my digital meter, and yes, I forgot to program it for this engine. So yeah, the rpms were probably around 4000. Thanks for pointing that out!
DanielJaegerFilms 3 years ago
@vreference There is just one bit of false info, they dont fire on every stroke.

It would run for up to a hour before it blows up. I´ve ran a lawnmower without oil and with thr wrong oil and it just wouldent seize, even tho most compression was gone and slightest resistance would stop it.

if thats 8000, then my push mower was up 9000. It looks just like the one push mower in this video too.

Wait until you get a runaway engine on a diesel. Now thats scary Stuff.
morelltechyahoocom 3 years ago
yeah, no spark plug wires to pull!
DanielJaegerFilms 3 years ago
much worse, a diesel has no intake air throttle and makes as much speed/power as it can until it explodes if the governor fails. if you're fast, you could cut the fuel line or on the old diesels, some have an emergency shutoff flap that blocks all air going into the intake.

I saw it happen on a old bus when I worked as a diesel mechanic. It was a detroit diesel 6v71. it started with spark coming out the muffler and threw the crank out the bottom in pieces. very very scary.
valleyfever 3 years ago
I bet it was loud, too! Wow, that must have been quite an experience! What would cause that? Faulty injectors maybe?
DanielJaegerFilms 3 years ago
No, What happened was the engine was very badly overfilled with engine oil. It started coming through the crankcase breather into the air intake. Oil and diesel and both fuels to a compression ignition engine. The amount of power they make is proportionate to how much "fuel" they get, period. It sucked a ton of oil in an a 250HP engine probably made 5,000 HP for about 30 secs. until it self-destructed. Crankcase breather oil intake and mechanical injector failure is what causes it.
valleyfever 3 years ago
Yeah, that would make sense because the oil would burn like the diesel fuel, just not near as clean. Cool, thanks for the info!
