 What's wrong with this Bolan's 25 CC Weedy? I bought it for 10 bucks. Let's see what's wrong with it. Is this what we're looking at here? Like I said, this is the one that I gave $10 for at the estate sale. And like Monkey said the other day, it looks like it hasn't been around that long ago. It is dirty. That looks like, let's see if I can show you this. Yeah, that looks like the Pacman. See how those look like a Pacman? The adjustment screw, so that's good. It does have adjusting screws. I've got some gas out here. I've already pulled it a couple of times. It does have compression. So let's go ahead and put some gas in here. And let's see if this will start up and run. Looks like one of the lines right here. The return line. Okay, so we're not going to put any gas in it just yet. Okay? So this line is nice and limber. So we're going to have to put a line on there. Let me go get a piece of fuel line. And I'm going to put that fuel line on there. That's the return. So let's see. Okay. All right. So let's see. That may have been the issue all along. We're going to, let me get a piece of fuel line, put it on there and then we'll go from there. Okay guys, I got that line replaced and it only took, you know, just a minute or so. We're going to put some gas in here. Funnel wiped out. Like I said, the other fuel line is pretty limber yet. So I think it'll be all right. That could be the reason why they quit running it. But just in case, I did bring my Pac-Man adjusting tool out. Let's go ahead. I got a little bit of gas in here. It may be enough fuel. It's a pre-mixed fuel. Yeah. That's about a half a tank. It should be enough to do what we're going to do. All right. Now, let's get our cap on here, pumped up. There was a little bit of fuel in this primer valve, so, okay, it seems like it's working pretty good. I think the first thing I'm going to do is, that's pretty nasty down in there. I'm going to spray that off with some carb cleaner. Let's check the filter, too. Filter don't look bad. I'm going to go ahead and spray this off with some carb cleaner, and get this dirt off here. Now, you've seen me do that before with the running, like on the chipper. But as you've seen, that carburetor was very clean. I wouldn't do it on this, because all this little stuff can be sucked back in there. We're going to get all this cleaned off, and then we'll try to start it up and see what happens. Okay, guys. Hopefully, you can see that. We've got it all cleaned off real good, and I blew it all off with compressed air. I says to pump, press the primer bulb ten times. Move lever to one, okay? Now, I'm not going to press that primer bulb anymore, because we've, you know, all a couple of times, whatever, because we've already done that to check and see if it was getting fuel, and it is. Okay, so squeeze throttle, okay, squeeze throttle, steps four through eight. Okay, so we're going to squeeze, pull the throttle all the way open. Well, you know, I've done this a million times, but you know, for anybody that doesn't really know for sure, pull it five times. Move the lever, that's your choke, to two, pull three to five times to start engine. Then wait 30 seconds, and then move lever to three, that'll be wide open choke. So let's go ahead, I'm going to back you out here a little bit, and let's see if this thing will start, can you see, all right? Okay, now this has a switch on it, but it's just a one-way switch. Just hold it until it shuts off. Now it looks like I've got a fuel cap leaking right there. I'm not real concerned about that, because I think I got a fuel cap. That could be an issue, because sometimes they need pressure, because remember, these don't have fuel pumps, and the fuel is down below the carburetor. So that might give us an issue, I don't know. But let's try to start it first and see what happens. Well, that was pretty good. Let's move it to two. Sounds like we may need to adjust the carburetor. So luckily, I've already brought out my Pac-Man adjusting tools. Let's go ahead, and we're just going to start from the beginning. I'm going to turn them all the way in, and I'm going to turn them out one turn. There's a half, there's one. I'm going to do the same thing with this one, and we'll just adjust it. That way we know it's right. Okay, so there's a half, there's one. Let's go from there. Take it out a little bit more on that one. Fiddle with this. Now it's not wanting to idle. Let me fiddle around with this a little bit more and see if I got another cap, and then we'll try to try to cut something with it. All right guys, I think I've got it adjusted about right. Now, I should mention this, when I cut and say, well, I'm going to tweak it a little bit more, or fiddle with it a little bit more. That's because I'm doing this, I do my first adjusting just to get it to run, so I can get it warm. Because remember, you want it adjusted to how it's going to be running all the time, not for only when it's cold. So that's why I do that. I let it get warmed up, and then I do my final adjusting, and then sometimes the next day, or wait a couple hours till it's cool, and then try to start it. Sometimes you may have to adjust a little bit more, if it doesn't want to start right for you. So I should mention that in all my videos. I haven't, I'm sorry. That's my fault, but let's see if this thing will cut. Okay, can you guys see over there? We got some some weeds right over there. So let's let's go chitchat for a minute. Okay guys, so as you can see, my work table is a mess again. So I gotta get that cleaned off for our next project, which will be the next video. We're going to be cleaning up the noodle maker to make homemade noodles. We're going to make some homemade noodles tonight. That'll be in with that. So you know, we'll be, it's not really restoring it, because I'm not going to be doing any chrome plating or nickel plating. Or you're going to take it apart, clean it the best we can, and then we'll try it out and see how it works. But yeah, like I said, remember when I say that, when I say, you know, let me, let me fiddle with this more, that's because it's getting warmed up. And that's when, remember, that's when you want to do your final adjusting. Something like that, as you can tell, it didn't want to run long enough to get it warm. So I had to adjust the cold to get it to run long enough to warm it up. So that way it could, it can run long enough to get it adjusted in just right. Now then Bollins is, you know, weed eaters or weed eaters, they're all pretty much the same. The lines, a few lines may be a little different, what not. They all act and run pretty much the same. The ones that don't have the adjustments on them, I hate them. I hate them. But Bollins normally does. I'm going to clean that all up nice and neat and pretty. And that'll be for sale. I should probably keep that one. But I got, I got another one, an old weed eater, the actual weed eater brand, which I believe Poland is made by weed eater. But I've got, I've got like four of them out there. One of them is mine. The other three is just stuff that, you know, Gary and I, you know, Gary has dropped off for us to fix up. I did get a chainsaw running. I sold it yesterday. So I need to get ahold of him, have him come get his share of the money. It was just a small Poland. So Willie, I ended up getting 35 out of it. Kind of wanted to get 40, but 35 is fair, because it's one of the ones you can buy brand new on sale. You know, especially coming up, you know, when they're, when spring's coming up there, they're going to put these chainsaws on sale and you can get them for, you know, 99 bucks, 100 bucks. So I thought $35 was fair, you know, if I can, if I can double my money on something, I'll be happy. Like, I'd like to get 30 out of that because it's a Bollins, it's a name brand. And it's a good name brand. I'd like to get 30 out of it. I may put 35 on it and come down to 30, but I definitely want at least 25 for it, because that's what it's worth. Now, I'm doubling my money. If I double my money on something, I'm good with that for, for now, because if you try to get rich off of one item, you know, you want to try to triple your money, quadruple your money on a damn weed eater that you gave $10 for, you're going to be holding it for a long time, you're just going to be sitting, you're going to be dragging around, you're going to be trying to sell it for a long time. And then when you do get the money out of it that you want, if you do, you know, then it's like, you know, why, why? If you can double your money, especially pretty much overnight, you know, we got that, what, Sunday? No, we got that Saturday. I didn't have it out for sale this Monday. I didn't have it out for sale yesterday, of course, because I didn't have it running. I didn't check it out, we, you know, so Monk would be glad to hear that. I think she's learning something because she said, well, look, you know, that, that, you know, like you saw the, like the, the dirt and stuff, how it gets greasy and oily. That's because, like when it's real dried up, it hasn't been running a while, but if you can take your finger and it's still kind of moist and a little wet, I would say that thing, it's only been sent in a couple months. Anything longer than that, than the dust from the garage that it was in or whatever, will start collecting on top of that and it'll look real dry. That was kind of moist, so it looked like it hadn't been run that long ago. I would say the, the, the fuel line, you know, broke, which I didn't notice at first, but I would say they started priming it, seeing, you know, stuff squirting out, gas squirting out, I haven't seen the broken line and whatnot, so, well, I can't fix that. Like I said before, there's nothing wrong with it. If you can't fix your own stuff, your own equipment. A lot of people, they think differently. They think if you're going to have that kind of equipment, you shouldn't know how to work on it. That's like saying, if you're going to own a car, you shouldn't know how to work on it. It's not the case, you know, and there's nothing wrong with, with being able to operate and use your stuff, but, you know, when it comes to fine tuning and changing fuel lines, some people just can't do it and there's nothing wrong with that. That's why we have guys like me. Like that fix right there, if I was doing that for a customer, I'd charge them 10 bucks. That'd be it. Because it was, what, what'd it take me? 20, all 20 minutes or something? Yeah, I'd charge them maybe 10 bucks, you know. For somebody I knew, 5 bucks. But a total stranger, I'd charge them 10 bucks to do what I just did. A lot of guys, you know, you take it to a weed eater shop, mower shop or something, you know, they got a minimum. They'll charge you like 70, 75 bucks an hour, at least. Okay, and you got a minimum of half an hour, which would be half of that. You know, you're putting $35, $40 into a $30 weed eater, you know. Yeah, if I wanted to sit on it, I could triple my money, but I don't want to, I really don't want to do that because I want to sell good quality stuff at a fair price and get a fair price for it, you know, that way it pays me for my time and whatever I may have in it. Now that little fuel line I put on there was maybe three and a half inches long. I had it from something else I cut off. So that's why I buy a lot of fuel line, you know. Because if you go buy a foot every time you need some, you know, then you got to start charging more. And I'm not that way. I just want to, you know, I want to be fair with everybody, but I expect, you know, to be fair back, you know, it's like that. My chainsaw that I sold the other day, you know, I had 60 bucks on it because I wanted 50 for it. It was well worth 50. Craftsman with the case, with the tool, with an extra spark plug. Pull it one time, fire it right up. This old guy came over and asked me what I wanted for it. I said, 60 bucks. You're really interested. He looked it over and everything. Says it runs good, huh? Said, yeah, I fired it up. He wrapped it up, wrapped it up, wrapped it up, wrapped it up. I said, look, dude, shut it off. You know, I don't know if you're trying to cause something to happen so you can get it cheaper or what, but you're not going to see him blow up my fucking chainsaw. You know, he goes, oh, okay, okay, okay. I understand. I said, you know, you're just sitting there dead revving it, you know. You can't, you can't do that. I mean, when you're cutting, you're, they're made to run wide open. Yes. But there's, there's some drag on it. You know, and, you know, when you're cutting through wood and stuff, you're not just sitting there holding it wide open. I said, look, dude, you're not blowing up my fucking chainsaw, you know. Put the fucking thing down. While I'm interested in it, I don't give a fuck. You heard it run. You know it runs. Well, how's it cut? By the fucker taking home, you'll find out how it cuts. You guys seen how it cut. Cut through that, oh, just like butter. I said, now look, you can look at this, you can look at the chain. You can see how sharp it is if you know anything about these things. Yeah, yeah, it looks short. Well, okay, because see how I sharpen, you guys don't see it because I've showed you that before. I can show you again in an upcoming video on one of these other ones. I'll, I'll refresh you on it. But what I do is when I'm done using it, okay, I'll try to run my fuel out if I can. So when I run a fuel out, I'm done for the day. I go ahead and sharpen the chain that way. It's good to go that way. You guys see how it cuts. It's good to go next time I go to use it. I don't, you know, get it all ready and go to cut something and it's dull and then you got to stop and then you got to sharpen it. I sharpen it before I put it away. That way next time I use it, I fill it up with gas, boom, it's ready to rock and roll. But so he was like, 60, huh? 60, yes, with the case and everything, you know, I can't do that. I said, well, I'll wiggle with you. What can you do? I can do 40 bucks. I said, dude, you're starting to piss me off now. I said, that's fucking bullshit. You know, I said, if that was a polling, I'd sell it for 40 bucks. I'm not, you know, this is a craftsman with the case, with the plug, blah, blah, blah, the tool. You heard it run, it runs flawlessly. He was like, well, I don't have 40 bucks. I said, look, I'll drop down to 50 for you and that's it. I ain't budging. I ain't budging no more. Don't even fuck talking to me. At this time, another guy I've seen several times talk to an older guy. He used to be an auctioneer up north and I'm in Tennessee or Kentucky somewhere. He come over and he goes, 50 bucks, huh? I said, yeah, 50 bucks. We act like we didn't know each other because I picked up on him right away because he, you know, gave me that wink when he came walking up. And he said, hmm. He said, well, if this yay who here don't give you 50 bucks for, I'll give you 50 bucks for it. Well, she had no intention on buying it. I knew that. He knew that. That guy didn't know. That guy said, all right, box it up. I'll give you 50 for it since I can see you're stuck on it and you're not going to come down. I said, look, you box the fucker up because this guy right here will buy it for 50 bucks. You know, if you don't want it, I'm going to eat just as good tonight as if I sold it. You know, he was like, all right, gave me a $50 bill and walked off with it. But, you know, sometimes you just got to stand firm and don't take the shit. Customers always write to a certain point. This time he was not right. You know, he's trying to cost something to go wrong. And, oh yeah. And then he was like, well, it sounds like it's missing a little bit. I said, well, no, it's not missing. You know, it's a single cylinder. If it was missing, it would be cutting out. You know, like you're flipping a switch on and off. It's a single cylinder. It's a single cylinder. Don't have other cylinders to keep it going. I said, it's not missing. There's nothing wrong with it. You're trying to pick it apart and you can't find a damn thing to pick apart on it. You know, you're just trying to fucking screw me and I'm not getting screwed by you or anybody else. You know, so I'm stuck to it. But that was cool. That guy can move. He was like, you knew I wasn't going to buy that, didn't you? I said, yeah, I knew you weren't going to buy it. But I appreciate it. I was going to offer him five bucks. I said, let me give you a couple bucks for racing now. You know what I mean? Nothing. He said, I hate dickheads like that, too. That's when he told me, I used to run an auction house. I was like, oh, OK. He said, I know how assholes like that play. You know, they just want something for nothing. Yeah, he pulls up. And one of those Cadillacs was the Cadillac pickup truck. You know, brand new fucking flawless. Not a scratch on it. Looking all pretty and shiny. You know, when he whipped out a $50 bill, he had hundreds, fifties, twenties, you know, he's digging through for a $50 bill. You know, that's why you got so much money because he tries to screw whoever he can. Well, he wasn't screwing old Shea Bear, you know. But anyway, I got off on a rant there. But so that was funny. So I am, I think I'll put 30 bucks on that and I'll come down to 25. It's well worth it. I sold another bowling. It was bigger than that one, though. But I got 25 out of it. So I figure that one, it's in good shape. I'll clean it up nice and neat and it'll look good. It'll run good. And somebody's getting a good deal. Like I said, don't try to get rich off on one item. You get one big item, get rich off of it. Let, you know, like my chipper. You know, I had 175 on it. I would drop to 50 because it would kind of rev up and down. And when I got to shooting some carburetor cleaner around it, it would rev up a little bit. So I knew it was, it's sucking air somewhere. So it may be a gasket or something sucking air. I'll fix that and I'll put two on it and I'll come down to 75. You know, I mean, that thing, where was it? 499 in one place. That's over 500 bucks. It was 799, the top prices, they're getting for them 799 between 750 and 799. We did find one, I think, what I say, or maybe 450 bucks, but that was on sale, you know? I think on my video, I put it across the screen tractor supply. That was on sale and it wasn't quite the same, the same unit as that one. It was a little different. It was the same brand, but it was a little different. But that exact same brand with the five horsepower three, oh, and it was only two or two and a half inch. What that means is you can put up to two or two and a half inch diameter sticks down into it, limbs down into it. That's a three inch. So that makes a big difference. It really does. I mean, you know, and it'll chew them up. You got to solve that. It'll chew it up, but it does run. It'll start up first crank every time. You know, when it's running wide open, it's running fine. But if you want to run it like half throttle or idle, it'll kind of bog down and then rev back up, bog down, rev back up. Sucking air somewhere. But I wouldn't be afraid to sell it like that for 175. I'll take 154. You know, a lot of guys, they'd be putting four or $500 on it. Because if it's one thing I can't stand it, somebody coming up to me, well, I can buy a brand new one for that money. I want you to go buy a brand new one then. And you know they're full of shit. One guy said, what was I selling? I was selling something. He said, oh, that weed eater, monkey's weed eater. The electric one, the blackened decker. Yeah, he said, we got on a weed eater. I said, 10 bucks. I can buy him new all day long for that. So I'll tell you what, bring it up on your phone right now and show me where you can buy it new for 10 bucks. And I'll give you the fucking thing. Nah, nah, it's not worth my time. I said, well, you ain't worth my time. Get the fuck away from my boobs. Well, I was interested in some of your knives. Yeah, you're interested in some of my knives. If I give them to you. No, I don't even want to deal with people. You just go. Go, you know, I mean, I'm not a store. I'm not Walmart. You know, I'm not tractor supply. I'm not rural king. You know, you piss me off. Get the fuck away. I don't even want to deal with you, you know. But it only happens about once a week. You get somebody like that, some cocky fucker. Just, you know, I can buy a new. Yeah, you can buy a black and deck or weed eater with the extendable boom on it, you know, the pole. So you can make it shorter or longer to fit you better for 10 bucks, brand new all day long. You show it to me, bring it up on your phone. It's got to be brand new though. You said brand new, bring it up brand new. Show me and I'll give you this one. Yeah, put your money where your mouth is, dude. You know, just get the fuck away. I ain't got time for that kind of shit. I got other people looking at my stuff that are buying stuff. You know, just get out of my face. You know, you know, because I know what he was wanting. He's wanting it for like a dollar. Fuck that. I mean, I know everybody wants gas. I know the electric ones don't sell that good. But if it ain't worth 10 bucks, you know, she's had the thing five years or whatever. I'll keep it another year. I don't care. You know, I mean 10 bucks for a weed eater. You know, what the hell? You know, if somebody can't afford a gas one and don't want to worry about mixing and all that shit, they got a small yard. They'll give me 10 bucks for it. You know, it's like an electric blower. I sold it for five, you know, because for five, because it was given to me. I'd done nothing to it, but it was dirty. It looked, you know, bad. It was well worn, but it worked fine. The guy said five bucks. Shit, here you go. You know, you know, I probably could have got 15 out of that. But, you know, like I said, I'm not trying to get rich off of people, you know, but I, you know, I got bills to pay too. You know, I got a dog to feed. But anyway, guys, I'm going to say thanks for watching. Appreciate it. I'm going to get that cleaned up and get it ready to go because I may or may not set up tomorrow. If I don't get down in the street and set up, I may set up here in the driveway. I got to get monkeys blower out. Oh, I can also use that chipper as a blower too. The chute, I can run it down through the driveway in the air. Coming out of it, we'll blow that stuff off. But anyway, get the driveway blown off real good. And, uh, but stay tuned for the next video. It is going to be the noodle maker. It's an Imperial, not Imperial. It's from France. I'll get back with you on that. I'll leave it across the screen. But that'll be the next video. And then we'll make some noodles for monkey tonight. So, all right, guys. Thanks for watching again. I appreciate it. Shea bearer, the man of legend. I'm gone for now. Stay tuned for a video on this clock coming up soon. Because I got a surprise about that. Okay. Bye-bye, guys. Take care. Extra head cleaned up looking good.
