 Hey everyone, Shaburn1000 here today I'm going I want to get something running so let's say that at too easy we know it runs we had it running not too long ago let's see what else we got here that batteries are bad takes eight batteries cost about a thousand dollars put batteries in it and it's got electrical issues so that's gonna be another video let me see here got this thing motors off of it got a balloon engine nope this thing we had running three or four years ago it's not locked up maybe this thing all right got this a couple years ago actually forgot I had it for over a year I remember getting us now hmm okay well I know it needs a blade it shouldn't stop us from starting it trying to supposedly it ran of course when it was put up in a garage but it had issues and I can't remember what they were well let's go get okay well let's go get the John Deere in the trailer let's pull this around front and see what we can do with it well I have to blow some of that off first and see what's going on with it itself propelled I don't think I even knew about that if I did it was at the time but not now because I couldn't even remember I had it all right I'm gonna get a balloon off best I can then let's see what we can do with this old thing okay guys so the first thing we need to do is assess this thing first thing we're gonna do that's got on on it now I know the first thing I got to do is find my cable for the engine brake that you pull that lever up here and it pulls this back I have it I don't know where it is oh that's a worm thought it was a stick scared me I was gonna put it on another one but it wouldn't work so I know I have it in the garage there yeah in there somewhere okay it's got some oil in it be enough to try to start it brings in strength and it is a Troy built there we go 21 inch cut what's it say and we put my glasses on here 6.75 series 190 cc let's see what's going on in here hopefully there's nothing in it a little bit of condensation but no gas that's good so maybe the carburetor will be okay like I said it is it is a self propelled and it's been slow I don't know if this hasn't unlocked on it to where you can push it because right now it does not want to push that wheels locked up but let me get you on the stand let me try to find that cable then I guess our first thing will be is to try to find spark well I'll see if it's got spark and then if it don't we'll try to find it okay so this thing's cool kind of locked on there but it's probably rusted on that one's got one right here this is what it's supposed to do supposed to pop off like that so then you hook your garden hose up to that click that on there start it up and kick your mother blades in and it'll clean that out from under there I figure this would have been a pretty easy fix when I first got it but I forgot I had it for every year so I don't know guys this handle will pull out I don't even know if I I can't remember if I had those or not I'd have to look at the video but let me get you on the stand first thing we'll do put that cable on then we'll check it for spark great news I found it all right so first thing all right I'm gonna put this in here first it's got this little little thing on there there's a little hole right in here just goes in like that that's it in this it's got an ass turn let me raise you up here just got this little ass turn here put that in there that's that now down here on the bottom it's pretty simple to let me get you down here now this is fairly simple to just got one of these little ass turns like up on top that's gonna go in this hole down here right there just like that now you're gonna pull this pull this back and shove it in there and that's that now there good hey it's that simple still pulling that that it's not only a brake that stops the flywheel from turning it there's also a kill switch so when it's in back when it's back in this position when you let go the handle it hits a kill switch then the brake helps stop the mower a lot of guys will do that and sometimes it's just like hitting a stump but there's that let's see let's see if the engine will pull over I don't even know if it's locked up and it's not but but we'll have to do some work on this thing that might have been the issue he was talking about I do know it needs a blade though a couple Phillips screwdriver let's take this top off of here and get down inside here and see if we can't fix that recoil okay we've got our little driver here okay so what I'm looking at here this is all got to be blown out anyhow I'm probably gonna have to take this whole top off of here as I can see right now this recoil starter is riveting on I don't know though I might be able to shoot some paint penetrating oil in there and mess around with it but as a quicker just to pull the part probably so let me mess around with that it's this plastic okay so sometimes if you tap them I can see it moving so I'm gonna try to put some penetrating oil in there and see what happens first and I'll blow it out some more alright guys I think I messed up gonna be one of them days already I went over to footage I set them screws right down here I went ahead and blew this out you guessed it I didn't move the screws here's one but that's alright I'll find it later in the tractor tire I'm sure alright back to business I'm just gonna go ahead and pull this I'm just gonna pull this off and do it so that way I can make sure there's no mice nest or what not up in there if there is that's what that fan inside here when it's running blows air out and blows it inside of here your shroud and it blows down across these fins to keep it cool if that gets plugged up it'll run hot you'll have big problems okay guys to pull this off what I'm gonna do there's three five sixteenths or eight millimeter either one will work on them to take this this fuel tank off because there's a screw or a bolt down here it's just 10 millimeter there's a bolt here a bolt here and then there's two on the back I'll show them to you here in just a second but let's go ahead and let's get this tank out of our way I hope I don't have to blow anything out again because that was a rookie mistake not actually because I've been doing this stuff for 43 years and I never not do that well I can't say never but it still happens you know what I mean okay so what's on the bottom of this here get the screw right here before we lose that one alright there is a there's a bolt underneath I think it's 10 millimeter so let's go ahead and take it off it's down under here I think it just went good now it's got one bar this would only be like third time ever charged this thing maybe fourth shoot that to you shoulder bolt that's what these are called to shoulder bolt see they got a shoulder on them all right now I can sit down here in the back got that one straight down and this one that's straight down 10 millimeter same with the two up front here so let's go ahead see if I got enough juice to do this probably not all right I'm gonna have charges battery but in the meantime we'll do it the old-fashioned way with wrenches let me go get a 10 millimeter wrench okay guys so that my I put it on the charger it's on a delay hot cold delay so I'm guessing it was cold because it got down no kidding 38 degrees last night 38 guys I'm a Florida all right so what I'm gonna do I'm gonna go and take these out I'll take the back ones back out so I don't bore you with it and I'll kick you back on when I'm getting ready pull the top off here so stick around like I said just two bolts in the back just those two straight down I want to get an extension so sit tight let's have fun and I forgot to tell you there's another eight millimeter up here that holds your dipstick tube in you can pull this off and leave the dipstick tube on it but I don't like to do that because there's more of a chance of getting dirt down into your crankcase which is never a good thing you can if you want it's just something I don't do because there's especially something's been sent like it's all that dirt just a just a piece of dirt or a piece of sand you know the size of a of a grain of salt can hurt your engine okay so I've got all these bolts out now let's go ahead and lift this up off of here there we go set up kind of like at the comp see so the spring is up inside of here so I may have to loosen that and get up in the spring but I'm gonna try to spray some penetrating fluid down in there first see if we can get that string or that spring loosened up so that's supposed to these are called dogs these plastic things they pull out when you start it to just and they engage inside this cup here then then as they go as the rope goes back in they these go back in so that's my guess it's just gonna need hopefully the spring is not broke that could be the issue but I can't remember what issue he said it had maybe he didn't even remember so let me spray that around and mess with it a little bit if we got to take it apart then I'll I'll kick you back on oh gotta be very careful when you take them apart but and I gotta blow some of this out too throttle's not stuck but I need to blow all this out so I gotta get all my screws up out of the way get all this stuff out of here so it doesn't come out if it starts it doesn't come flying out at me okay just to clarify something real quick when I was moving this and I said the throttle's not stuck I wasn't meaning this this is the governor I was looking right down here's the throttle right in here that's a throttle right there that's what I was technically talking about I should have should have said something but I didn't think about it till just now so all right back to business okay you see it's all wet in there well all I did was spray some of this stuff down in there super tech and pulled it like three times and check it out so you can see them dogs come out and then when you let go they go back in all right I got here's the magnets I was talking about let me get you I want to show you something here so here's the magnets I don't know if I was yeah anyway there's the magnets for the coil okay so I'm gonna clean them up and I know on Terrell fixes all he he said that they they stated in an old update thing that they send out on you know motors and stuff that it didn't matter if he cleaned them or not but I mean I look highly I look up highly to this guys very very good small inch mechanic so I'm not really contradicting them but I can tell you for a fact that they said a bulletin came out said that rust there will not cause these things not to start but I have on many a more than one occasion I have taken these apart that didn't have spark and just cleaned them just the magnets never even touch that just clean the magnets and it gave it spark because rust number of that gap is very very tiny see there's there's actually gap in there sit and if you get rust build up on that it's going to hit that which is not going to give it spark it's not going to you know it has to have an air gap there well if that's the case it won't have spark right so you know but anyway yeah Terrell fixes all check him out he's awesome now here's that break I was telling you about right there let me see if I can squeeze the handle here and you should see I pull away from sit so when you shut this off here's the switch right here right there's that little it's not really a switch it just grounds out and grounds out the coil and shuts the spark off I'll see when I pull that away it'll run but as soon as I let go of that this grounds out kills power to the coil shuts it off and this just keeps it from running you know well they don't run but you know how when you shut it shut them over all sometimes they do do do do that's that's that pretty much stops it immediately so also if you don't have one that's shutting off which yes that'll happen you start it and you know you try to release the break and it doesn't want to shut off check this thing right here now some of these have a band that gets clear around but this one that's all this brings in stratton has here also what this does this is this is your governor so when this is running and these are this is like the fan I was telling you about shoots air across the the head this blows this out okay so when it's running and it's like this it'll actually be like I done and then as this needs more power so if this slows down it's not blowing this out as much so it lets it come back which in turn gives it throttle that's how these work and they work very well I mean when you hear them just I mean it's amazing how how sensitive these things are and how good they are so all right let me what's it gonna do we'll check that filter see if it needs blown out then I'm gonna get a piece of sandpaper I'm gonna clean the magnets off I'll squeeze a handle and put something up there and then I'll give this a spin and see if I got a little bit of spark there before I put that back on this does not have points it's electronic ignition okay so I just pulled this off I didn't actually it was loose I just took this off on my fingers check that out that's pretty nasty that's gonna need to be blown out and it's real nasty down inside that's not reusable anymore and now it'll run without these but sometimes they don't run right sometimes you know it has to have it has to feel that you know it's kind of like giving it a little bit of choke but we're gonna see if we can get it running without it see how good it runs I don't know how much money I want to put in this monkey's been on me for like the last year that I didn't know after I found out I had it to she remembered I had it because she was driving down the road and she said well you got that push riding more and I was like what the hell are you talking about I don't know if she meant that it was a because I looked at her so would you just say to me I don't know if she meant that it was self-propelled or what but anyway that's what she said and I forgot I had it and then ever since then she's like well you need to get that running I don't know if she wants me to sell it or what but I'm gonna have to buy a blade I'm gonna have to buy the keeper for the blade the bolt for the blade because I don't I don't have any of that I've got a blade in there but I don't think it's it's not gonna work on this so you know that's what I'm gonna have to do and like that filter you know I have to get you know I have to take care of that filter so you got to watch how much money you put in these things you know if it ran great it is a bagger and I don't have the bag for it but it does have a chute here but you know I'd probably get 50 bucks out of this if it was running perfect that one tires you know bald over there on the other side so I don't know we just would just have to see because these these filters are expensive man I've paid you know $15 $17 for one of these now I can probably get them online you get them online you can get two of them really cheap now they don't last for a long but you get two of them so we'll just have to see you know how much I got in this I don't think I've got much in this because I bought a bunch of stuff off of a guy his name is Dave and I just gave him one money for a whole bunch of stuff so you know let's say I got 20 bucks in this if I if I can put 20 in it and it's running fine and so for 50 I'm making 10 but I'd really like to double my money you know what I mean so I'd have to have 80 bucks out of I don't know if it's worth 80 bucks because that you know that front tire being bald really makes it look bad we just have to see what I can get the parts for if I can stay under 30 bucks on this thing then I will sell it I can put 50 on it I'm not you know really doubling my money but it's close enough so and her John Deere the mother belt's ready to break it's not going to cut the grass again so all right let me get this cleaned off here I'm gonna blow this out move my bolts again I'm gonna blow this out and wait no I was wrong about that this is not the governor guys I want to this is important what I showed you now a lot of the vain governors do work that way but this is actually the choke here's the governor right here it's got an internal governor right here's the governor and right down there's the throttle so disregard what I said this is the choke now I've never I don't know why it would need to choke like that that I don't know that that doesn't make sense to me I've never seen one like that I don't think but there's a governor that's the governor arm so all right anyway guys like I said let me get the magnets cleaned off on this side and I'll check and see if it's got sparking and I'll blow this carburetor out I don't know how much carburetor cleaner I got but we'll get this blown out the best we can so it's not sucking any of that up in there cuz that looks bad all right hang tight guys I'm just gonna do those quick little things so you don't get bored of watching me clean stuff let's move on okay guys so I got the magnet cleaned up on the flywheel and what I did was I stuck the end of this into the spark plug wire and I turned the flywheel back and forth and I could feel spark so while my my impact driver's charging I'll just use this mr. handy-dandy thing from Dennis thank you Dennis and all better set this thing to ratchet then I'll check them with my ratchet so what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna put all this stuff back together and I'll keep it back on when we're getting ready to try something I'm not even gonna pull that plug out out of there yet it might be all right just clean this end off here sometimes that'll cause you an issue on an intermittent spark that looks like the original plug all right no I'm just gonna put this back on just reverse process nothing special you have to do so I'm gonna save you that okay guys we're gonna put some fuel in here I just got some mixed fuel now this is not what's in here this is what came out of the boat but the boats 50 to 141 may smoke a little bit it's not gonna hurt it if anything it's been sitting a long time it will help it you know so let's put this how many you guys seen that and didn't tell me there's the other one whoo all right gonna be a good day also right down in the comments below right now how many cranks you think there's no primer on this thing so but some birds and stratton it's my favorite small engine birds and stratton like I said there's a little condensation in here but there's not enough I'm gonna I'm gonna worry about there's no dirt of course there's no rust it's a plastic tank that should be enough we guys think I'm gonna hold hog I'm going one pool okay so let me move you over here out the way I'll stand you up a little bit higher we don't know I know I felt spark but I don't know if it's got good spark I don't know if that plugs any good I'm gonna hold hog I'm gonna say one crank it'll fire up so hang tight let me get you up here out of the way all right guys what's your guesses I'm gonna say one crank I put the carburetor cover back on but I left there clean her out right there right on Briggs and start and died could be a carburetor issue I'm gonna take a little break and we'll we'll see if the carburetor is getting enough fuel okay guys so let's pull this carburetor off real quick there's two bolts here they should go all the way through this charged up believe it or not in about a half an hour a rapid charge and the fuel line feels pliable so okay maybe these don't go all the way through all right so get these off set them there for now let me move over see what we got up here on top trick me there we go okay I'm gonna pull this line off I need to get a pair of pliers I'll pull this line off see if it's getting enough fuel and maybe I didn't put enough in it I don't know looks pretty dirty I don't have any carb cleaner they do have some starting fluid somewhere but I didn't want to spray it on there earlier because I didn't want some to go inside and us get a false reading on that start I have a lot of what the hell I have a lot of faith I have a lot of faith in these Briggs and Stratton's so let me get a pair of pliers and I'm gonna pull this line off and I'll see if it's getting fuel okay guys just show you it is getting it is getting fuel but it looks like there may be some water in that it looks real cloudy so I'm gonna let that drain itself out I got a cap here real hard to tell in a black cap but let me see if I got something clear we'll say how much water is in there maybe there's some water I couldn't see I did find a little bit of water in there more than what I thought was and there's some dirt in there so what I'm gonna do is I fill my can up over there with fuel from the from the John Deere I'm gonna put that line back on and I'm gonna put a bunch of fresh fuel in there now it'll take it a little bit of starting and quitting because that bowls probably got water in it hopefully it's just condensation or what was in the tank we'll have to see I really don't want to take that carburetor that bowl off that carburetor if I don't have to because if I break that seal I don't have another one to put on it so let me get that line put back on and we'll fill it up with fuel fresh fuel and also blew the tank out with compressed air so hopefully this thing will run and hopefully it's just a little water in that carburetor that hasn't been in there for three years but you know we'll see I'm gonna put this back on they all the same yeah they look to be and yeah we'll see if we can start this thing up and keep it running I'll have to see how much a blade is and the attachment for the blade and a lot of times too guys these some of these things won't even run without the help from the blade you know it acts like a big giant flywheel well they called a momentum wheel over any UK or wherever but anyway maybe Australia but I'm gonna put this on like I said for a little bit of a choke now let's pour a fuel in I don't want you guys are seeing I don't have a screen turned around here okay now we'll put the fuel in whoops or on whatever and I'll put a good bit in all right it's got about three fours of a tank of gas so what I did with the gas cap probably blew it away like I did them screws but that would be easier to find although we didn't find them screws pretty quick didn't we okay let me find my gas cap and then we'll try to start this up again okay hope the sun's not too bright for you let's uh let's fire this up again if it will and I found my cap it was over there must have rolled around when I when I tilted it up to blow the tank out that's a sign of a fuel delivery problem or water in it my guess is probably water but I'm gonna keep doing that and when it's getting close I'll kick you back on there's the problem water dirt gelatin gel all right let me try to get that cleaned out of there all right guys let's try it again this time that was a lot of gunk in there but everything's fresh now it could still be a passageway blocked I don't know let's pull it and see one crank let's do it again okay guys so I need to change your battery out and burning some of that dirt off of there and and I'm gonna fire this up let it run five or ten minutes I don't know what's going on with this thing it's got something weird a person a sunshine I don't know I don't know what that's doing intelligent auto okay I don't know it's gone now okay guys so I guess I'm gonna start this up let run a little bit I'm gonna figure out what's going on with that right front wheel left front as you guys were looking at it but the right front wheel don't want to turn the left one is this one I can turn it if I put pressure on it so I'm gonna see what's going on with that that's probably why that other wheel wore out so that other tire wore out so quick but you know I don't know we may just keep it for ourselves who knows so I'm gonna check that out but first I'm gonna let it run a little while let it burn all that dirt out of it I don't see any leaks on the carburetor that seal is a little bit dry so it could start leaking later on if I'm gonna sell it I'll have to put a new o-ring on that on that bowl so like I said let me get you charged up let me fire this up again I'm gonna let it sit and run a little bit and then I'll be back with you guys let you know how it's going so stick around got them old old man glasses on whoa whoops I got a 38 minutes on this battery 16 minutes on the car so I'm gonna make some room on the car or two so stick around guys more to come also I was gonna mention this earlier and I for the life I can't remember if I did or not Brian and Marla sent me Christmas cord I appreciate it guys Merry Christmas to you guys as well hope all was well there I hope you guys are safe and have fun guys so anyway thanks again Brian Marlin I appreciate it those are my cousins guys they sent me a Christmas cord they sent me they sent me a walk they sent me all kinds of stuff they're great people so anyway thanks again guys let's talk about it for a second okay guys so I couldn't help it that was bugging me that wheel wouldn't turn it was just full dirt and the there's a plastic wheels but they have a metal insert or the metal insert was kind of stuck on the shaft so I pulled the wheel off and the metal insert stayed so I got it to come off cleaned it all out lubed it up or a good check this out there we go okay guys so it's no longer a one wheel peel it's a posi track yeah okay it seems like they're a little loose I don't know if I can tighten them up some way or if I can do some welding you know to fill in a gap or something but yeah that's why that one was all worn out that wheel wasn't working and they just kept mowing with it so I'll see how much a blade costs and the keeper that I need for that I'll put it bottom of the screen here I don't know if we're going to keep it or sell it would be nice to have a backup since I got rid of my my simplicity because it would have carburetor issues but it'd run long enough to cut the grass at least until I get mine going I don't know we'll have to see I'm guessing I would say I don't know I gave him like $50 for a whole bunch of just I bought cameras I think that weed eater didn't come from in the state sale that weed eater we fixed excuse me the other day came from there I got some stove pipe I got all kinds of stuff off of him I think I gave him fifty fifty dollars I think fifty bucks it was one money for a whole bunch of stuff this thing I got this and he's a blade it is missing a blade and he said there was something else some kind of issue but he said it will run so let's say I got 20 bucks in it if I'm gonna have 20 in a blade and stuff that's 40 bucks I'm not gonna put a tire on it those are expensive too but I don't know you know maybe I'll put it off for sale for 80 bucks come down to 75 you know then I'm almost doubling my money we'll just have to see I'll get it cleaned up and we'll go from there it's still kind of running a little funny but remember that blade helps it run right too and also you know we didn't pull the plug I don't know what it you you've probably seen it though it looks like it's original to me so it could probably use a new plug it's got fresh fuel in it I don't see anything wrong with the carburetor not bad for sent in a couple years I know it's been two years we've had it sitting and like I said for like a year year and a half I forgot I even had it and you know it wasn't covered up you saw it that's where I dug it out from you know once I about four squirrels over there across the street chasing each other making a hell of a racket but you know I had it before we built the shed I do believe and we just put it beside the shed and I just never like I said I parked it back there and forgot I had it so I don't know what the issue was he said it had issues I can't remember if he told me it had issues or if he told me it had issues and told me what they were I don't know because I think he got it at an estate sale but I do remember him saying you know it's got issues maybe it was because the blade was missing who knows but I'm guessing if I would have because see it came out of a garage when he got it and it went back into a garage and then I got it out of the garage he had it in so I'm betting I probably could have put some gas in it and fire it up back then I wouldn't had to do this you're taking a part and cleaning it and stuff but it does seem like it runs good it doesn't I don't hear any knocking in it you know of course I've changed the oil that sounds good so I don't know there it is guys will it run yes it will all right stay tuned for more videos I really appreciate you guys watching and I hope your week goes great and or is going great you're not going to see this video today so you'll probably see it tomorrow which will be Tuesday but anyway I really appreciate appreciate all you guys the support and comments love the comments I really like when you guys get to talking to each other in the comments that's awesome you know we're a community let's stick together let's uh let's make YouTube the way it's supposed to be again supposed to be you know about us not about this you know yeah a little of this is nice but that's not you know horror our channels out just to make some money you know all right guys she barely meant the man legend gone for now again thanks for watching I really appreciate it and guys stay safe we'll see you soon bye bye guys and take care
