 Happy 4th of July everyone. Shave every 1,000 here. Got a couple things going on today. Let me tell you about them. There you guys, so a few hours ago I had an old boy stop buying. Asked me about the John Deere's over there, told him they weren't for sale. I told him I had one though. I needed a little work, which was my simplicity, the old orange tractor. We got talking about it and I fired it up for him and everything. Well, he drove it home. I asked him what he had in trading stock. He called it a tiller, it's an edger, but I'm going to use it for the garden next year. I said, well go get it. He said it doesn't run, I said I don't care. And he said he thinks it needs carburetor work. He said if you pour gas in carburetor it'll start. So, not sure, just little ol' bricks and strattin'. We got to talkin'. I said, well, he'd really like to have a tiller and he told me about a scooter he had. I said, well, you know, I don't know. And he said, well, I'll tell you what, I'll throw a scooter in with this for that orange tractor. I said, all right, go get it. I didn't even look out, I didn't even see it. This is what he brought me. He told me it was 49cc, which it is. You know, it's a little rough, but I can build something out of it or part it out or whatever. Remember the orange tractor was given to me, I don't have any money in it. So, now out back I do have an old one of these, a 73 or maybe a 75, I can't remember. Bearings are bad up here in it and stuff. The engine does run, it's a little two horsepower Briggs. About that size, I'm thinkin'. You know, that's the later on, we'll have to see. This does not have a pull start or a fuel tank, it's no biggie. There's a little nut right here that usually you can put a drill on it and start them. We'll worry about that later. This is just kind of like a bonus, maybe I can build something out of it. I don't know, you know, it's got a decent tread on it. But this one here, I thought, well let's see if we can get it to start. It's not locked up, he says it will, but I don't know what to say. It's a 3.8 horsepower, it's bigger than I thought it would be. It feels like it's got low compression. Okay, so let me get you on the stand here, it's going to rain. I got my grill out, I'm hoping it'll cool down before it rains, so I gotta put it in the garage. So let's pull that plug out of there, let's see if it's got spark, but it just feels to me like it's got a little compression. It could be a bad engine, I don't know, but I'm not real worried about it because like I said I've got a two horsepower back there Briggs and Stratton. Now I want to look at this plug right here that you guys can't see, and we're going to be looking to see if it's got any spark there. Make sure it's turned on, it's got plenty of spark, so let's shoot a little starting flow down in it. Just feels to me like it could be a valve issue or a ring issue, it's got a little bit of compression. Let's just see if it'll start, come on, there we go, I don't know, I just thought I'd do a quick upload for you for the 4th of July, see if it'll fire, so choke's open, let's close the choke, but it is firing, so I think it'll run, so let me see if I've got some gas around here somewhere, I don't think I do, yeah let me see if I've got some gas. If I've got some of this, it's fine, it won't hurt anything, it's pours full, let me see what's in here first, it could just be, it's got a little gas in it, so he's probably right it probably does have a carb issue, probably a sticky flow, but let's add some more in, see if we can get it to fire again. The carburetor's down under here, so I'm guessing yeah it's not sucking any gas up in, so there's carburetor in it, it's an older one, it's got an adjustment on the bottom of it, but what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna get a wrench, we'll take that ball off there, see if a bunch of gas comes draining out, okay it's got gas coming down, it's got gas coming out of there, so I'm betting the carburetor, it's either got a lot of water in it or the carburetor is not letting it suck up through the jets, alright so I'm gonna screw this all the way in and back it out about a turn and a half, there's a half, there's one, there's a half a turn, so it could just have a lot of water in it, let's see, let me get something to catch a little bit of that gas in, see how much water's in it, okay so I did find it does have a little water in it, but I don't know if it's dirty, I didn't say any dirt, but there's some water in it, so let's pour some gas down into the carburetor here, let's give it some choke and let's crank it, so my guess is the jets are clogged up, see if that does anything, put some fresh gas in it, so let's give it a try now, and a storming, so let's pull it a couple more times see what happens, you probably can't hear it, but if you can see that blade down there, that blade will turn, so it's starting but it's not staying running, so let's try again, see it's firing there, it's off the choke, guys I pulled it a couple more times as you saw, it's firing, it's not staying running, so I don't think it's getting fuel like it should, so I called that a Briggs, I think that's a Tecumseh, a shitcumseh, it's got a Tecumseh carburetor, but extended life engine, well we'll see about that, and I don't know what this says here on the side, fast start or something, easy start, let me grab my glasses, but I'm sure I can get it running, it's not a big deal, rapid start, yeah, win, all right guys that'll do it for today, I can only pull you think so many times, I'm not supposed to do it at all, but you know, I can't sit around doing nothing, so anyway I hope you guys had a great 4th of July and 4th of July weekend, stay tuned for more videos, maybe we'll work on that more tomorrow, when we started on this it was 91, real fuel was over a hundred, so excuse me, as you can see, excuse me, rained like crazy, was lightning, so all right, I'm pretty sure I can get it running, if anything we'll pull that pull start off of there, and we'll put a drill on it and start it up, might just be, you know, have some carbon buildup or something, sticky valve, who knows, we'll get it going, these things are easy, all right guys, thanks for watching, appreciate it, Shaeberry, Mr. Man of Legends, I'm gone for now, stay tuned for more videos, and we'll see you guys soon, bye bye and take care
