 everyone Shaber 1000 here today we're staying here at the boat motor got the cover off not really that I'm having issues with it but I'm going to clean the plugs see if it makes it run any better stick around and we'll talk about that as we're doing it so what we're going to do we're also we're gonna pull this cover off of here and see if this has got a thermostat in it because I noticed I had found a thermostat that goes to this engine I don't know if it's one they took out because I remember he had heating issues before he found out the pump wasn't pumping so I found one of these that was stuck but I don't know if they just took it out and left it out or replaced it so we're gonna check that out we're not going to replace us today because I don't have one but we're gonna we want to get this out one more time before I take the end motors off and everything get ready to paint it because summer's coming up on us pretty quick spring time was going to take it out today but monkey is not feeling well so I said okay I'll just go ahead and clean these plugs which by the way I'm going to put new ones in after we paint the boat and everything this is just for in case we want to get it out one more time this is a 1316 take this off of here you should really use a socket on here yeah see because these these two stroke engines gotta see if you can see these two stroke engines they burn oil and they burn oil because you mix the gas and oil see that so we're going to clean this we're going to check the gap I have to look up the gaps these re-gap them they're not that old but that's not saying they gap them right and then I'll keep these in my little waterproof box over there for because sometimes they will foul out on you out on the legs so see that one and this one see the difference this one has a little white on it it's running a little hotter than that one but see all the oil now I do mix my I do mix my oil a little heavy it'll make them last last a little longer now it doesn't make the plugs last any longer but it does make the motor last a little longer it's cheaper to buy plugs than it is the motor okay so now we're going to clean these and I want to show you how I'm going to clean them and I want to talk about that for a minute because there's a lot of controversy going around about the process that I'm going to use to clean these okay so let me get you over here where you can see a little better so now the reason why there's some controversy on this is I'm going to be using one of these what there is there's some blasting media in there okay and it's just essentially it's a sandblaster okay now they say you're not supposed to use wire wheels on these or sandblaster now I know this guys but they say but they've been I've been doing I've seen my dad do this I've seen my uncle do it and I was actually taught in auto mechanics class auto tech is what they call it now but back then we still called it auto mechanics class in school that that took to use these okay then a couple years ago oh no that has changed now now we found that there's issues when you do that well I've done it all these years and I've never had a problem I'm not saying someone else hasn't or but what my way of thinking is is if we've been doing this since the 20s and 30s or whatever same blast and then all once you start having problems with the spark plug after you do that I don't think the problem lies within the process of doing it or how you're doing it I think the problem lies in make the plugs good like you used to that is my opinion my personal opinion I have no scientific proof and I don't think they do either all they have is proof that yeah it may damage them now but it didn't damage it in the 50s the 60s the 70s the 80s it wasn't damaging them now just a few years ago all once oh that's not good for it it damages also what they're saying is if you don't clean these plugs out good and you're using some kind of same-blasting media in there and you stick this plug in you know one grain of sand can cause catastrophic engine failure it can you know I can see that I understand that so do this at your own risk but what I always do is always spray them out blow them out with compressed air you know which is the same as being you know compression in an engine just make sure you clean it out real good like I said I've been doing it for years and years since hell I was 10 12 years old working on my go-karts and mini bikes I've done this I've used wire wheels wire brushes I've never had an issue now at once they're having issues with them people's blowing engines up by doing that while that's their stupid fault for not making sure they had all the sand or whatever they're using cleaned out of it that's their fault so you know I mean they say just when you clean them just do this and use a piece of sandpaper emery cloth which is the type of sandpaper hidden a sand hidden it's still sand I don't know so anyway that's my take on it so what I've got here I've got this thing it can be mounted this is just cheap one I think it's yeah central pneumatic which is what hard for free right you can mount it down on something so what you're going to do is right here there's a little button you push and that shoots air into this you got a little shut off here that shuts air off but you're gonna make sure your air is on and you're just gonna stick this in here and move this around just like this turn it and that will clean it really well and then I'll spray it out and blow it out with compressed air it's no big deal so would I recommend it yeah if you think you can clean your plug after you're doing this by blowing it out using brake cleaner starting fluid whatever blow it out real good use compressed air yeah I recommend I don't see a problem with it if you're having a problem with it I think the problem lies in the plugs because nothing's made like it's used to like they're used to I mean I've took these things out out of the boxes before and had hairline cracks on them put them in I still got a miss find out there's a hairline crack in that is it from dropping it I don't know is it from piss-poor craftsmanship I don't know but I have had them brand new a lot here lately like within past ten years before that I never really had a problem just sure sometimes you get one that was damaged you know where it been dropped and usually what happens is your your electrodes there they get touched because they drop them you know that's that's gonna happen but oh that's why I was right there in the store I don't care if there's 30 people down I mean they're gonna wait I'm gonna check every plug if I buy plugs I'm checking eight plugs for a walk out of there so you know alright so we're just gonna stick this in here just like this push our button and it is cleaning it it's starting to clean it up really nice so all right so I'm gonna clean both of these plugs see there where I blew that out I'm gonna clean both of these plugs and then I'm gonna blow them out clean them off real good and we'll gap them I'll show you how to gap these plugs okay guys here we go a lot cleaner now I want to show you how to get this gap right here's a plug gauge gap gap engage whatever you want to call it this is millimeters here this tells you in your thousands okay now these call for 30 to 35 thousands on on these excuse me these old Evan roots I like to go between between 30 and 35 so I'm gonna go with 32 and that's right here and as you can see it doesn't want to fit right okay now it'll it'll barely go on the 30 which is still a little tight alright so what I'm gonna do you don't want to pry in between you don't want to pry in between there and there you just don't want to do that because you could crack that so that's what these things are for on the sides here hey these things cost like a buck in any parts store and you bend it up a little bit okay you can also bend it down or you can tap it if you're real careful if you need to bend it down some okay so there's 30 let's see 32 I want it to go nice and easy let's go just a smidgen more there's 32 perfect that's just about right that's probably about 32 and a half but that's okay all right so I'm gonna do that to the other one the same way and then we'll put these back in and we'll get that we'll check the thermostat take thermostats out the thermostat housing cover off and we'll see if it's got a thermostat in it so that way I kind of know what kind of parts I'm gonna have to get and for make it ready for summer so hang tight guys okay so now these are auto lights I didn't put these in I do like auto lights don't get me wrong but when it comes to two cycle engines boat motors weed eaters especially like four-wheelers dirt bikes and stuff like that I do like to run the ngks I just think they're a great plug just make sure you get the plug you need don't just go well I think I need the hottest plug you don't want to do that there's a cold plug and hot plug and you got a bunch in between now if you can't get the one you want then you might have to go something else I never did like champion I've just I found out that they in two cycles two-stroke engines to me I've always had them foul a lot easier than ngk or anything like that I do now like I said I don't work for any of these companies they're not giving me any money they're not paying me anything it's just my preference now you know some people might prefer champion my uncle retired from a champion spark plug in Cambridge Ohio on route 40 right off of interstate 70 but anyway yeah so you know I just I don't care for him okay now let me tilt you up here we're going to take these three screws out right in here should be a little tiny thermostat looks just like the thermostat on a car only it's tiny cute as hell I think I may have it have it in the garage I don't know or I'd show it to you what I might do is put a piss tube in here bring it out there so you can really tell for sure when it's pumping or not but that'll be a later project and a later video which I think I will do seeing guys doing I've done them before there we go yeah see it's out excuse me I see there is no thermostat in here and there should be there should be a thermostat in there and there's not so I'm definitely going to have to get a thermostat you run them for a little bit like that I wouldn't you know try to run one like that all the time you know what I mean just constantly just don't worry about I wouldn't do that let me get a peck and pick this dirt out of here but yeah I'm gonna pick this dirt out of here let me see if I can find that little why shoot thermostat I'll show you what it looks like okay so hang tight guys okay so got my little pick here pick the stuff out of here okay sorry okay so this is the thermostat and a cute and I know it's no good cuz I stuck them boiling water and it didn't open so there's how that sets just like that and then of course this gets put on top like that you tighten it down it's real easy in order now to put a piss tube on here you just drill this hole out you drill a hole out here you put a little something like a dirt fitting a little nipple in there and you just run a hose out and down wherever you want I'm usually on that side when I'm running this I think any whichever side I usually set on what side I'll run it down through so it can piss out but so I'm am gonna need one of these so that's alright now I'm gonna get my RTV sealer it's right over here I don't know if this is any good or not feel soft inside but I got some orange high temp which is what I like to use on stuff like this but it's got the same issue as this what happens is these crack these lids crack see that cracking that lid there and that's air get in it drives them up up here and I just pushed it out the side so that'll work and I'll just what I'll do just put this tube in a ziplock baggie squeeze air out of it and it'll keep it from drying up so still good if you can squeeze here you can still use it even if you got to cut it open in a in a pinch you know you can do that so there's that all right now let's go put this little back on it just I'm gonna do any good but just to have it got a rag over here somewhere that off of me now we're gonna stick this on sure got everything out of there okay I'm gonna just put this back on here just like this the gasket seemed to be okay so my screws that so I'm just gonna reuse the gasket it's not gonna be building up any pressure it's just gonna be flowing through that's all it's gonna do so but when I get when I do this I will show you again just in case you guys don't see this one or or for the people that didn't see this video or instead of trying to go back and look for it I'll show you how to put that in there and I'll show you how I'm gonna put the piss tube in there we go that's good now we're all set I don't have a bucket of water over here but I can start it up just for a second I can't let it run but I noticed last time I started it it was kind of starting harder than what it normally does so I thought well go ahead and check the plug so let's see if that kind of helped it any my tools up here so they don't and then I'll move you over here and we'll start it up real quick okay guys I squeezed the primer bulb seems to be fine let's go ahead and start it up like I say I can't make sure it's in neutral I can't run it that long but let's go ahead and start it we'll choke it I checked it yesterday I didn't start it yesterday but I did check it was looking things over I've got a new filter I'm gonna put in here and see how that that gas is kind of sipping sip from here right down on that filter when I squeeze the primer ball the gas was kind of dirty looking so I do have one of these filters I'm gonna put in I may put a better one than that that's just a cheap one but as you can hear it fired on what the second crank third crank and that's the way it usually starts every time but the last time it took me four or five cranks to get it well probably about five cranks to get it started and then it took a while to warm up you know how it'll mess until it warms up and then you adjust your your mixtures here there's your low speed and there's your high speed this is for wide open and this is for like idling then you mess with it after it gets warmed up so yeah that's already better so yeah I'll get some new plugs in it and and this is really all you got for a for an air filter because it's in clean conditions or in theory it should be in clean conditions just like snow blowers they don't snow blowers snow mobiles they don't have they don't have air air filters in them because they're around clean air all the time they're not in dust and dirt and mud like like say a four-wheeler or dirt bike same way of this this is around water so it doesn't really have much one in it you can put one in it doesn't hurt it but that's pretty much all it is right there so anyway guys there's that so that'll be ready for our next little outing like I said I want to get it out once maybe twice more before I get it painted and then I'm wanting to paint it maybe in March as soon as the weather clears up because I can't get this thing in the garage but I can get this in the garage so I will change the oil in the lower unit the lube in the lower unit one more time and clean this all out I'll do that on the stand in the garage trying to get another trolling motor a bigger one my buddy's got so hopefully I can do any amount of that put this in on treat it's not very old it's like a 2018 I think he said he bought it in September of 2018 I just don't like it is a 55 pound thrust it pushes the boat fine but so anyway okay guys so there you go I just talked for like five minutes did my outro my ending and everything wasn't recording so I'm gonna finish this won't go and check on monkey edit this video for you fine folks get it uploaded for you so you can have something to watch later this evening when you get back from the pub and you want to have a couple more just put on a playlist from Shea Bear drink a few drinks have some snacks enjoy yourself and watch some Shea Bear 1000 so yeah like I said I just want to want to get it out one maybe two more times before March because March well mid February to the end of February we start getting really good weather so in about the first of March I'm gonna take this motor off take it inside blah blah blah and I'll probably change the the lower unit lube again this kind of go over and check to make sure everything's alright I'm gonna flip this boat upside down out here and we're gonna repaint it spit on you guys repaint the boat and then we'll get it ready for summer spring and summertime it'll be ready to go until October November ish then probably put a new set of plugs in it I'll try to do about twice a year just all depends on how it's running and everything like it seems to be running fine so anyway guys so there you go I forget what I said in the first one but oh tomorrow if it's nice like today it's supposed to be decent if it's nice like today we're gonna do some yard sale we'll put some stuff out here for sale because they're starting to run you off down here where we used to set up at the Chevron they're starting to run them off down there because he's idiots this guy and one person was down with all this ceramic stuff and he's got these two big 40 foot trailers I believe yeah 40 foot trailers and he sets everything up around there like nobody else and you can't drive through no more when he does that so there's nowhere for anybody to park and you know people getting pissed about it so they're starting to run them off down there so we're just gonna start selling here hell with them that pissed me off I told monkey to I said they're gonna get us run off down there and that's exactly what they did you know they just selfishness selfish people like that you know so anyway guys thanks for watching appreciate it thanks for hanging around doing a little wrenching on the boat with me today and yeah so don't forget check out monkey 1000 channel and thanks again for watching appreciate it she bears a myth man legend gone for now you all have a good one enjoy the rest of your weekend and stay safe all right we'll see you in the next one bye bye guys take care
