[68knative]

Hi! Very nice, thank you. May you tell me where I can read how a two strobe hit-and-miss engine works? I only found a description about the four-stroke engines. Thank you! 68k

Why does it puff like that?

[gunny556fly]

maytag? "greatest company in the world?" been at it since the turn of the century and are still the top name in appliances!

[rorybowskill]

I want one, think they're realy neat but as there aren't many in the UK will probably have to spend as much getting one shipped over from the states as it'll cost me to buy the motor. Fun little machines !!!!!

[breathholdchamp]

I will take a Maytag anyday..... f the epa

[mobes329]

I have one never had it running. It was given to me as a gift.

[MarvinSanti]

Oh the EPA must love this engine... LOL!!

[stirlingsteamboy08]

i got one

[JoeHawking]

Cough! Couch! HACK! Choke, gag!... I love it!

[steamwally]

I think they smoke so much because they disable the spark to hit n miss. Therefore it is still drawing fuel in when not fireing and wastes it all! I do love the maytag!

[floydianesque]

My Dad had one when I was about 13. I am 64 now so go figure...it was identical right down to the boards...looked and ran exactly like this one. We didn't know what it was at first. Should have saved it...thanks so much!

[peugteobike]

I love these things.I think they are neat

[muddysledge]

yeah they're really cool. it's like they shouldn't run but somehow they do, ha ha. I love how it spits when there's no load on it. My friend had one. i wonder if he ever got it fired up. should took it when he wasn't around.

[wadchado]

Do these Maytags use gas oil mix or straight gas? If mix what ratio?

[onebangerboys]

1. Yes.. they use a gas & oil mix.

2. I don't know the mix ratio. We don't own the one in the video.

[jakeyloser]

they use a mixture of 16:1 non detergent sae30

[bellerve201]

@onebangerboys the gas to oil ratio is 16:1 or 15:1, i can't remember. they use 30W oil and not two cycle oil

[nitro74cs]

Usually modern 2 stroke engines use 20:1 if not 25:1 petrol to oil, older engines i would use little bit more oil.

[nwmotorman]

Neat little Maytag. Not too many of these run in "as acquired" condition anymore.

Engine wouldn't smoke so if you didnt put so much oil in the fuel...

[Tonyv1951]

My wife would love to have that engine running her washing machine. LOL. Fantastic thing.

[MAZDAMAN666]

[LeviMan2001]

[fordman3555]

what the hell is that

[onebangerboys]

Apparently you can't read or maybe you are just too lazy to.

READ the "About This Video" text associated with this video on this page.

[peugteobike]

That's an engin to a 1936 matag washing machine

[simonmic001]

lol

[pxstorman]

Brings back memories-I had one of those back in 1960. Had a huge spark plug and I found in Houston at $3.00. It was a LINCON spark plug. It would bang and pop just like the oil well pumps down in East Texas.

[robeenoc]

can you make a video showing filling with fuel, starting and adjusting? thanks!

[onebangerboys]

We don't own this engine nor know who does.

[douro20]

Hitting a little bit late...
