 Good morning, everyone. Shiver 1,000 here. Happy Mother's Day to all you mothers out there. That came out right, didn't it? Happy Mother's Day. All you mothers out there. It's about 8 45 a.m. I'm going to uh just kind of got my John Deere coming at one o'clock. So hopefully it's hopefully it's not raining too bad. It has been apparently sprinkling this morning. It's supposed to rain all day. You can see on the vet or maybe not. Maybe you can see on the truck windshield there. So it has started sprinkling. There you can see it. I think it has sprinkled a little bit. It's weird because it's kind of rain drops on the truck and on the vet, but not on the not on the concrete. It's supposed to rain all day so I don't know. A little gloomy and gray. So, see I just thought I'd vlog with you guys for a little bit today. At least till... I mean I got some room right here. I could work on it so we can check it out. But uh kind of go over it. The main thing is I hope it's not locked up. If it's not locked up, I'm pretty confident I can get it to run. However, how good it runs, I... Well, the story is he took it in to have something else done to it. It was running when he took it in. I asked him. I said, the last time you had it running wasn't knocking. He said no. He said the engine ran fine. He took it in for something else. They called him and said it wasn't worth putting money into because there were shavings in the in the oil. Metal shavings in the oil. And it didn't run after they got it back. So I don't know what they did to it. It sounds a little fucking... I don't know. It sounds a little screwy to me. You take it in for something else that's running fine. Then they don't want to work on it. And you get your shit back and it doesn't run. You know. Something that wasn't even related to the engine. So I don't know. So I don't... I have no idea. You know. So we just have to see. Hopefully it's not locked up. Because the damn thing it's not covered up. It's been sent for years. You'll see. When you see it, you'll uh... You'll know what I'm talking about. It's pretty rough. But I don't know what engines on it. I really didn't look at it that close. That dad just kind of walked around. I did see it had a big twin cylinder engine. So I don't know what horse it is. I have to see. You know. So yeah. So I'm just doing a little vlogging right now. And when it gets here. You'll see it come in. And we'll do a rock walk around on it. And maybe. Maybe we can try to. If it's not locked up. We'll try to get it running. If it is locked up. I'll show you. We'll do some tricks on it tomorrow. To try to get it to uh... To unlock. So if we can. If the engine's absolute toast. Then you know. I'll just part it out. Or build something out of it. You know. But you know it's got. I think I remember seeing two coils on it. Stuff like that. So I can part it out. And make my money back. But I figured for 50 bucks. Sometimes you got to take a chance. You know. 50 bucks. It can be worth 500. 50 bucks. It can be worth five dollars. Who knows. But uh... Sometimes you just got to take a chance. And I felt comfortable with 50 on it. I wouldn't win any higher. But I was telling her it was funny when he said 50 last night during the live stream. I was like. She said that's what she told me. Because she asked me. She said where would you feel comfortable at. I said I'd feel comfortable taking a chance at 50. She said well off from 50. I said well see if he wants to sell. Or see what he's got in mind. And he had pretty much the same thing in mind as me. So. All right. Well. I'll kick you back on when something else happens. We'll finish my cigarette. And uh. Monkey's still asleep. Or mom's still asleep. So. All right guys. I'll be back with you. Tractor's here. He probably just escaped. He couldn't get that son of a gun. I'm engaged. I can't remember how you did it. Oh for the drive. Yeah. Yeah. I was like. There it is. Well it had a needle over there at the bottom. Okay. Must hang on. That was me and you. Yeah. The back. So we strapped into a tree and I pulled out. This is my curve. I think yes. My park manager. This is his son. Look at these things. And then that's uh. A ten out of mine that I. Steps on. Steps on. Sure. They look so much alike. Well he gets in trouble. He ends up being licensed for some reason. Right. Good mechanic. Listen. You got a job to do. And you don't feel like doing it. You know whatever. He's worked as a mechanic down here at A1 for years. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. He worked at Frank's. Yeah. Frank's pretty good at A work on A. He works on all my shit. You're right. Oh what if you do. Oh what if you do. Oh what if you do. Oh what if you do. Oh what if you do. Oh what if you do. Is this going to say that? Got another wire. It's like the second where she was prepared to be. Hit his jaw right here. But those little turtles don't back that good. But here it is. Here key. I might have a key for that. If not we can hot wire it for now. That's a throttle. This is you know what makes it turn left and right. Well let me see if I got a key. I just want to make sure that this thing is not locked up. Big ass engine on there. I'm not seeing many shavings in that at all. Actually what I'm seeing is is normal. There's what it is guys. I'll give you. It's a twin track 2000. Like I said it's a little on the rough side. It's got some belt issues which they're not cheap but they're not real expensive either. Apparently this can come off. This deck will come off and also it's got this wheel on the back. See this is what I'm concerned about. That it's gotten water into it. Into the carburetor. I didn't see any water down in the oil. But if there's any water in it's probably sitting on top of the pistons. So I think what we're going to have to do first of all is let's see if it's locked up or not. We'll see if I got a key. If not we'll just have to we'll jump across and see if we can get it to turn. I don't know which one of these is hot and which one is negative but just have fun when it goes to the ground. There's a plug wires. There's a plug wire twin cylinder. Not sure what size it is. That would be that's not a v-twin guys. That's an opposed twin. That means it's kind of like the old Volkswagen engines. Only it's a two cylinder. One cylinder is this way and one is that way. To where the v-twin is like a v8 or v6. Okay so let me see what let me go get the battery charger and see if I got a key. We'll find some way to bump it over. We'll check it out. Oil is not mounted in. I don't think this one has to be grounded. So I think it'll all right like that for now just to see right now we just got to find out if it's locked up. Okay so let's uh let me go get the battery charger. This looks like... What is that? How is that thing? So here's one of the plug wires. That went over that way. Over two. That cylinder it's cut right in half. Almost looks like somebody cut it but it may have gotten into the seat and pinched and cut. That could have been an issue. Let's get some stuff out here all right. I want to show you a couple things. The engine is not seized up so that's good. Also this is the key out of my tractor which had an extra one on it. So we're good there. Choke cable of course is locked up. It's going to need some penetrating oil. How much of that I got? I just dropped the camera. Anyway here we go. We've got we've got a key that works. This is out of my tractor and it has an extra one on it so good. So anyway the choke cable is locked up of course. Here's the choke cable and it is not seized up. So it feels like it's got some compression and the battery charger out here we're going to plug it in and we're going to see what we can do with this thing. This I believe this is to unlock it to tow it okay which I didn't have it unlocked. He couldn't remember how but that's how you do it to unlock it if I got a port or tow it. So these are the hydraulic pumps there and there for left and right. I'm not sure how the PTO works. This is the PTO here so it just tightens that belt. See that thing moving. What I'm going to do is I'm going to take this belt off to clear off of it. It's twisted anyway. Like me it's a little twisted. All right let's um I don't know if I can get a full revolution on that or not but it is turning so I can't turn it any further than that. Let me get the battery charger plugged in let's see what happens. All right we've got it hooked up okay so I'm going to flip this on the charge that's on 40 EMP. That might be enough just to see if it'll okay that might be enough to see if it'll crank it over. Let's find out. Watch that pulley right there. It's not locked up. Let's do 200 EMP start. I need to check this puppy for spark. I'm not seeing any spark so could be could be a coil issue it could be a number of things. Could just be rust in it. I'll be right back. Let me get my spark tester. We're going to we're going to check it for spark down here at the coil. All right I'm looking you guys probably seen me use this before. I'm looking for spark right there on that thing. No spark. Now I got to get my test light which I forgot. I'm going to check some of these wires. I'm betting that what we're going to have to do is we're probably going to pull this side off pull the side cover off and check and say I don't know. I can't remember if this has got points. I think it does. Got a condenser on it a little bit so still don't know what the hell this is. Whatever it is got a condenser right there. I'm not sure what this is but we're going to get a test light and a multimeter. Okay in order to get down to the flywheel where the points are at we'll have to pull this whole side cover off here. I'm not sure where it goes out up in here but we got to pull this whole side cover off to get the side cover of the engine off. So what I'm going to try to do I'm going to try to pull it with her John Deere over there behind the vet so I can get some shade. So that's where we're at. I've done some testing here. Now it is I don't know I have to do some research it is reading gnomes on this on the coil so I don't think the coils hurt but it did feel a little warm so I don't know that could be the issue but I'm thinking the points may be stuck I don't know. We're just going to have to see so I'm going to try to get this thing over there by myself so hang tight guys and I'll be back with you. Okay guys here's what we're looking at. I did get it to get sparked but there is no compression so what I'm going to have to do is I'm going to have to well have to pull the heads off and see I think it's a sticking valve and I think we can fix it just by pulling the heads off of it. I'm going to try to crank it over a little bit maybe put some oil in the cylinders but I don't think that's going to do it so what I think I'm going to do is I'm probably going to going to start with this head I'm going to try to do it without pulling this whole side panel off over here. I did get a couple bolts out but I really don't want to pull that side panel off if I don't have to I think I can get down in there but I'll have to see so let me see if I can get let me see I've got a little this here I think there's only one bolt holding it now um I'm going to take that off see if I can get to the head bolts now if I can I'll pull the head off okay guys see all that down under there that's water it came out of these bolt holes I've got one bolt left on this head so I thought I'd go ahead and take it out so you can see let me get you on a stand I did break one should have took a little more time with it probably would have came out but one of them did break one of the head bolts which I don't think it's going to be too much of an issue for me because it was turning so I think I'll be able to get it out okay all this water in here I'm surprised any of them came out one of them did pull some threads on the way out we'll just have to inspect that once we get this off of here I believe I do have a bolt to put back in it good thing they weren't any longer I wouldn't be able to get them out of there without pulling the engine out I don't want to do that I would like to get the engine running however make a hell of a go-kart engine all right let's look at the head first oh yeah that's some water and stuff in it look at the cylinder there's the cylinder I know for a fact this one didn't have any compression because I uh I put my hand over spark plug hole and uh couldn't feel any compressions let's turn this over uh-oh the piston is not turning guys this engine is roached the piston's not going in and out not good the valves working however I was going to mention that too but I didn't want to I didn't want to jinx myself I was going to say well it could have a burnt piston or something but that is weird if I'm going to be pulling this engine out or not I mean is it really worth it you know I mean it could be overall it doesn't look the greatest but everything seems to be in good working order except for the engine so I was hoping it was a stuck valve very unfortunate it's not I just wonder if just wonder if the other side's the same way so I feel something feel some suction through the carburetor there but let me get you over here maybe see a little bit better there's the piston should be going in and out right there there's your valves uh valves are working I'm damn I was hoping it just a stuck valve I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it I may just part it out but before I do I'll probably go ahead and pull that engine and we'll see if it's through a rod or or something I know it didn't throw a rod through the block because it's still full of oil um this piston it's shot it's shot it's not stuck I won't say the piston it shot them betting it's something to do with a rod I don't think the crank broke because no the crank didn't break I'd say it's a rod but it might be worth pulling out and checking out um I mean it's definitely worth that but I could sell I could sell the hydraulic system off here for a couple hundred bucks pretty easy so there we go so there's monkey I'm monkey all right so I want to say she bear the myth man legend are you hungry yeah okay I gotta go make supper so all right guys thanks for watching appreciate it we'll chat at you soon bye bye say bye monkey bye
