 Hey guys, Shaper 1000 here. Today we're gonna be working on this Ryobi Blower. Okay? But it has some issues. Let's see if we can't get them straightened out. First issue I noticed, the fuel lines were off of, shrunk up. That shouldn't go in there like that. You guys see me put these lines on before and you know how they should go, all right? So I'm gonna put new fuel lines on it, but look up here real, that's broken. This is supposed to come through from the back, like that and it's supposed to have plastic. I think it's more like a Bakelite on here to come around the top of this to hold that, okay? So now I'm not sure what I'm gonna do about that. The first thing we're gonna do is see if it runs. We're gonna put it together and we're gonna run it. And if runs good, I'm gonna get some JB Weld. I'll make this, it's not gonna be pretty, but you won't be able to see it once you get your cover on. It'll be functional. This thing is not that old at all. Guessing maybe a year or two. Well, almost three years now. But anyway, let's try to get, we're gonna put these fuel lines on here. I know you guys have seen me do it before, but we're gonna do this again. Got you up here on the table with me today. On first, it's long, you know, you want it to go back in there good ways, you know, because this thing is always pointing forward. So that's gonna be where you want your fuel line and filter to go. So what I'm gonna do is I've got a longer one. I think this is the one that came out of it. If anyone's cut anything off of here, which they probably have, I mean, it's gotta go out this hole and up into the carburetor. It may be long enough. We just gotta put it, yeah, it's been in there before, because I can see right here, that's where it was coming up out of the hole. You know what, let's just, let's put a longer line on it. And I'm gonna do the same thing I did before. I'm going to, I've already started to put this through something. Changed my mind for some reason. It's already got a hole pierced there. Yeah, we're just, I could buy an intake for this thing pretty cheap, but if we can fix it, that'll even be better, because remember, we're fixing these to resell. A couple of things is going to need carburetors. I don't know what the guy wants to do about them. If he wants to put carburetors on them, because they are cheap, but you're talking $14 on a carburetor, that's coming out of your profit margin, that's eating into your profit. So you gotta be careful how much you put into these things. A couple of things that may be cheaper just to sell them as is, needs carburetor, because everything will start up and will run, but like I said, some things, they're mostly carburetors. A lot of times you can get by with cleaning them. I have got a couple of them running by cleaning them, but I'm gonna go ahead and pull this out through here a good ways and I'll pull it back up through after I see about how far down in there I want this to go. All right, so let's clip this end off of here. For some reason my handles aren't wanting to stay on these pliers, probably because they're cheap, but I needed a pair of these and I got them for a buck at a flea market or yard sale or something, so I did need a pair of them. Let's go ahead and put our filter on. The filter looks great. So somebody, they screwed up somewhere, somehow, I can blow through it, I can suck air through it. Now let's stick this down in here and see how far down it goes. I wanna make sure it gets clear up to the front and perfect. All right, I'm gonna leave that like that. This one's for the return. Like I said, it's just, you know, hit a leak there, okay, we don't want that. So what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna use this one for the return, all right? So I gotta cut it off at an angle. This one's going through pretty good. So I may not have to use the wire, just get it started, go down in there enough. Now see it, over there on the right, a little piece sticking down. That's what I'm trying to pull down through. This is return, it just gotta go in a little bit. Now this carburetor, see that bulb? It's not cracked or anything. Seems to be working, but I got new ones here. So let's go ahead and try to put a new primer bulb on this thing, get you up here where you can see a little bit better. Hopefully this carburetor's good. Hopefully the only reason why they took it off was because of the lines, but I'm looking at down in here. It doesn't look like they've had the tool, you gotta have a special tool to adjust these carburetors, which I have to go get one, but it doesn't look like shiny or scratched marks where they've tried to adjust it. So hopefully they haven't had a problem with this. Hopefully it was just the lines. They took the carburetor off for some reason to do that hopefully again. You had to take the carburetor clear off, ended up breaking that, the intake where the bolt slides through. I'm just, you know, see if they're the same size. That looks a little thick there. So it may not work. I've got other ones. I think these three I've got over here are the same, but I've got other ones in my drawer. Yeah, yeah, this'll work. This'll work. Let's clean this off just a shade. That'll be fine. Good deal. Something goes right, huh? Put the recoil pull rope back on the edger. Pull rope, we just restrung, but I lost a very important part to it. A little bolt and a little spacer for the shutoff on it. So not sure about, and for the throttle to work, right? So I'm not sure what I'm gonna do about that, but okay, seems to be decent. Now let's get you up here. And let's put this carburetor on here. This is the return. Let me check and make sure. This thing sets like this. So that one there is gonna be pick up and this one here, you can't see shit. This one's gonna be the return, okay? So what we're gonna do is we're gonna put this on here. I mean, I don't know. I mean, they've got this buggered up for some reason, I don't know why. Maybe it'll catch and hold long enough for us to see if this thing's gonna run. And like I said, if it does, then I will be able to, I'll get some J.B. Weld and build the piece I need to build around that. Let's cut it off about right there. What it does is suck it up through the carburetor, pulls it all the way through the carburetor. This will grab enough. Just enough for it to hold, let's see if it's running. I mean, I don't mind buying J.B. Weld because I'll use it for other things that won't be just on this one machine. You know, use it for a lot of stuff around the shop here. Probably what they tried to do. Let's get the bottom one on then we'll mess with the top. See those, those should screw on fairly easy down in there just like that. This thing came to me in a box. I did clean out the, it wasn't real bad. It's a plastic tank. Of course there was no water or anything in it. It was just, you know, there was some dirt down in there. So I did clean that out. Watch, it was probably just a bad spark plug or something. I had a guy. He says, I don't know what's going on. Things since I was a kid. I know everything, but this one's got me stumped on. Okay, all right, no problem. What you got going on? Well, wasn't getting no fuel. Cause I wasn't getting no, there it is. Wasn't getting no fuel. Be just for a second. He infected. I said, yeah, you check the spark plug on it. Well, that should be the first thing you do. Check the damn spark plug. Pull the spark plug out. No spark. Got a new plug in it for him. It fired up first crank, put it on there and issue. He was like, what do you think? It'll take a bad time to see. A little mix of gas over here. It's not what I'm using. This is just what I mixed my, mixed my fuel in. Back in, I'm gonna have to mix some fuel and then I'll be right back with you guys hang tight. All right, I mixed me up some. As you can see, the cap here says 50 to one. So that's what I mixed this up at. I'm just gonna put enough in it to see if it's gonna run this primer bulb. There it is. See the fuel? You can see it down here in this line. Watch this line right here. You can see it pumping back through. See it? It's returning. Let's take this thing outside and see if we can get it to start. And if it runs okay, then I'll put this back on for now. And then once I get some, shit, JB Weld, we'll put some JB Weld on. It sounds like I'm gonna have to adjust this carburetor. Hopefully I don't need a carburetor. I'm gonna adjust this carburetor and then let's see what we come up with. I need to be sold. Just messing around. We got lucky on that one. The only thing I'm gonna have to do is get some JB Weld, like I said, I'm not really gonna count that as a cost because I use it for other things and I also need it for a couple of other things. So that's not gonna be a cost to have to take a fuel on that thing. I mean, to mix it 50 to one. And there's not much in this, guys. It's about, it'll almost fill this can up and this can, which I like to have these around but I don't have any, but it's great for mixing. 40 to one, 50 to one, two cycle fuel. They have regular fuel. I like to have it around once in a while but this is probably, I only got about that much out of it. So I still got that much more left in there from what I mixed. So I don't count the fuel as a cost because I will give them a half a tank of fuel. I deserve a treat. What do you guys think, huh? I will give them a half a tank of fuel. I'm not gonna fill these up when we saw them all the way. I'm just gonna fill them up halfway. You know, it's like the four wheeler. I only had a half a tank of fuel in it. They can fill them up, you know? I mean, for what they're paying, you know, like that's probably a $40 blower. I'll put 50 on it. It's a probe, it's a name brand but it's not like a still or you know, echo or anything like that. It'd bring more money. So I'll put 50 on it. Maybe we'll get 40 out it. And then me and the other gentlemen, me and Gary, we split, we split the profit, which we sold the pole saw. I split with him on that. I'm gonna sell this. I'll split with him, whatever we get out of this. I'll get in contact with him and see if he wants to pick it up or if he just wants me to sell them too. And see if the prices are okay with him, you know? I mean, I'm sure he gets them next to nothing. I mean, he buys that stuff like in a bunch of piles. But everything he's brought to me will start up and run but like I said, some things need a carburetor. Like I can get a carburetor for pulling chainsaw for around 12 bucks, but you can buy a brand new chainsaw for a hundred bucks. So we gotta keep those pulling saws are down there. You know, you're gonna get 30, 40, maybe 50 for a real good one. We got one over here. That would probably be worth 50 because it's a big one. It's a 42 CC. So it's a bigger one. We can probably get 50 out of that. I think I can adjust the car, but if not, I think that's worth putting 10 or 12 bucks into a new carburetor on that one. You know, if we make, I'm figuring if we make 20 bucks a piece, I'm good with that. I'm sure he's good with that. If it was an Echo, that'd be no question, you know? Or still, definitely a still, that'd be no question. I just ordered a carburetor and throw it on there because then I know we could really, we could really make some money on it. I mean, I got some time in it. Like that thing probably only took me an hour, you know? If that. So you know, what's my time worth? A lot of me, my time's worth, you know, 30 bucks an hour, but what else would I be doing, you know? So while I'm supposed to be resting again, I'm gonna get in trouble again. She told me when she left. She asked me if I wanted to go on. I said, no, I almost said, cause I got things to do around here. She said, you want to go? I said, well, I thought about it. And I was like, no, I'm gonna stay here. She said, then you rest. Thank God I didn't get it out because there was a couple of things I wanted to do. And I got them done by me too much, you know? So tomorrow, like I said, tomorrow's New Year's Eve, I'm gonna go set up with the other guys down there, Lewis, and not down at the end of our street, but a couple of miles up the road, there's a split. Used to be a gas station there, and they set up there. I set up there one other time. Oh, I did well. I made 40 bucks, but that's cause I sold the, I sold that motor I had. I had 45 on the motor. No, 45. I didn't sell anything else, but there's all kinds of traffic cause there's two major, two major, I call it, they're not like interstates, but they're highways, you know? They meet right there. So it's a pretty good place. It might've just been a bad day. I mean, I'll try a place a couple of times, three or four times maybe, and see what it's, you know, and then we'll go from there. So I'll try it again. It might've just been a bad day, but, you know, who knows, but they're gonna set up and they're gonna try it down there, and I said, well, I'll come down with you guys. She's gonna drop me off. I'm just bringing a few things. So I probably won't do very good, but I'm gonna bring my knives. All that stuff I bought yesterday. He had in this basket had that airsoft gun with all the little pellets for it. It's got a laser on it. I got that and I got a bunch of knives, a couple other things. I know people, I know what some of my haters are gonna say, well, if you're hunting for money, why you buying more stuff? Cause you have to buy stock if you're gonna sell it. You know, you can only sell so much stuff and then you're out. I think it was 37 knives, you know, pocket knives. You know, some of them are $10 knives. There was three $10 knives. No, there was four $10 knives. Just, you know, for one knife they were in cases. I already sold one of those knives about two hours later. I sold one of them for 10 bucks. You know, so I got, but anyway, I got almost $200 worth of stuff. Well, actually every $200 worth of stuff. If you count the $1 knives and you know, the little pocket knives. I got it all for 25 bucks. But he said, oh, there was picture frames. I got five picture frames, decent picture frames. You've probably seen them in yesterday's vlog. If you watched it, he said from this end of the table over to this end, 25 bucks. You can't beat it. You know, I mean, that's wholesale price there. You know what I'm saying? So, and already got $10 of that back on one knife. One knife, I had $10 on it back, have it back. So, you know, that was a good investment. Real good investment when you can buy stuff like that. Like the four wheeler. That was a good investment. I had nothing in it. Absolutely nothing but a few hours of my time. So that was a good deal. Like running across them. That tractor Jerry gave me. I'd really like to keep it, but we need the money. So I'm gonna do some work on a carburetor on it. I don't think it's gonna cost me any money. I did pull the head on that thing and the valves looked good. Everything looked good. What was going on though, was I was thinking, they've got a, when you go to crank it over, it's got a compression release on it. So that way it's not real hard on the starter. So like a lot of times, if you go start your tractor all the time and it just starts out like, and you put a new starter and batter on, it could be that while this one was working opposite, it was kind of stuck in the compression release. So it was essentially running like a bad engine. So I got that straightened out. It does need a little bit of carb work. I might have put a set of blades on it. I don't know. I'll just have checkers out real good if I can sharpen them up somewhat. I will, but really I'm thinking it's just gonna need a battery, so I mean, that's about $200 there. I mean, like I said, it was free. You know, I'll put 20 bucks in a battery. Might buy one online maybe. They're like 10 or 12 bucks online. So I'll probably put a battery in it. So that's gonna be all, you know, pretty much pure profit. So, but yeah, if you guys are thinking, well, where's it getting the money to buy all that stuff? Well, like I said, it was $25, already made 10 of it back. That other stuff I bought off that other guy, I bought a couple items for a dollar. He said, here, you want those? I'll say, yeah, he said, one dollar. And I'll hook you up, I'll load you up. And he started, he gave monkey all them flip flops and all that stuff. And so, you know, I spent a dollar there on probably $70 worth of stuff. At least, at least $70 worth of stuff and I spent a dollar. So sometimes you have to do that. I got some, and I always got some money here because in case I got to make change, which I got to get these 10s changed over. So I like to keep at least $20 for change for people unless we really need it. Which a couple of times I had nothing to make change with, you know, I had to put a sign up. Sorry, I have no change, you know? I mean, I couldn't even break a five, you know what I mean? But so hopefully things will get better in 2020. And I appreciate you guys watching and listening to me chat. So we've got some more stuff going on. I got a lot of stuff to work on here. So we got that running, we got that fixed. I got several weed eaters over there. Monkey's got electric going over here. She hates it. So we're just gonna take it down, sell it for five bucks and I'll keep one of mine. I got two that are mine. So I'll keep one of them and for her, which I'll probably be doing the weed eating, but she likes doing that stuff too. We've got, I do have to get some more fuel line. We got an auger over here, like a post hole digger, ice hole digger, whatever you wanna use it for. But we don't have the auger, but we've got this. You know, the main part, it needs fuel lines. It will run, I shot a little gas in the carburetor and it started right up. So let's see, I got, I got hedge trimmers. They'll run, you know, it needs like primer, bulb, stuff like that we got, but fuel lines, mostly I gotta go pick up some fuel lines. And like I said, the chain saws, every one of them will run. You just don't wanna stay running. So we're gonna go from there guys. So anyway, I'll bring you along with me on some of these, some of these adventures. As soon as I get, get to feel them better. I'm gonna cut up some wood we got laying around here and we'll cook something in the Dutch oven. You know, maybe we'll make a, you know, maybe we'll make a beef stew. Maybe we'll throw some bread in it, bake some bread or a cake or something. We'll just have to see. But again, thanks for watching guys. Shaeberry, I'm at the Man Legend. I'm gonna go kick back for a little bit and edit this video for you guys. Appreciate you watching. And I hope y'all have a happy new year and stay prosperous. Success guys, success. Bye bye now.
