 It's going to be something simple. Let's find out together. I got this at an estate sale. It was on the tire. It's a good thing it's just a plastic tire. It supposedly wasn't run much. The store I got was he used it a couple times. Hey, something went wrong with the carburetor and he had the carburetor rebuilt was when he ran the gas out of the carburetor and out of the tank. So I don't know, but when I pull the dish mold gasoline, it's very thin. Okay, yeah, there's nothing in the tank. It's plastic tank, so that's good. So there's nothing in the tank. Nice and clean, but it's locked up. Okay, so I'm going to set you down here. And the first thing we want to try to do with this thing. Yes, my garage is nasty again, but you know, got to work on stuff to make some money. So what we're going to do, let's get you down here. Okay, so I'm going to raise the shoot up here. Try to get something down in there and see if I can turn this backwards. Inside here, I'll show you what I'm talking about here in just a minute and see if maybe there's something jammed down in there causing that or what. Now apparently when these are new, you can get a bag for them. This one does not have a bag. All right, so let me get something to hold this shoot up here. Okay, I just put a bungee cord on that thing to hold it up right now. Now if you look down in there, so what I'm going to try to do is I'm going to try to get something in there and try to push it down backwards and see what happens. So let me grab a pry bar. Couldn't find my pry bars. So just, but I do have a long screwdriver. Does not want to turn, okay? So not seeing anything. I think what we may have to do, pull this off here, get this thing off and out of the way and then we can look in there a little better and kind of see what's going on. So let me get some wrenches to take these bolts out and we'll get this big old shoot off of here, okay? So stick with me and I'll turn you back on in a second. Okay, we're back. There's three more bolts on the other side. There's two on the side, one on the bottom and there's three on this side, one on the top, two on the side. So to save you the head and speed this up. We should have all the bolts out. I see some issues that we may have to address. I think this thing was used more than just a couple of times. There's some crack, cracks there and I've seen one down on the bottom so we may have to address them. Probably end up doing this putting bigger washers on there so it covers the crack so it doesn't crack more, okay? So let's go ahead and try to pull this off of here. This is what's inside. This is moving back and forth. I see something right in there. You guys see that? I wonder if that's what's causing it. Maybe there's a stick. Let's get that stick out of there and see if that's what's going on with it. I bet you that's the whole issue. I'm gonna get something and I'm gonna go out there and dig that out without having to take the other side off and I'll be right back with you guys, hang tight. Still kinda stuck in there but if I, there's a little bit of it right down in there. If I pull the cord it may get chopped up there. Let's go pull the cord. Got a little bit down in there. There's still right in there. See it stuck down in there? So it's still got a little bit in there. Let me get a pair of gloves on and I'm gonna get that stick out of there. And then we may put some gas in it and fire it up. So let me get to that. You guys know what's coming next, right? Now, for safety reasons, I'm gonna throw this back on. All it is is just the opposite of how it come off. Three bolts on each side, three nuts on each side. And then we're gonna put some gas in it because it looks nice and clean. We're gonna try to start this thing up. Let me get that put back together and we'll get it outside. All right, slight change of plans. First thing we're gonna do is we're gonna check it for spark, okay? That's the first thing we're gonna do. Second thing we're gonna do is go ahead and change the oil right now because I smell fuel in it. I don't like that idea. Hopefully the carburetor will be fine. There's a little dirt in the fuel tank but I'm just gonna blow that out with some compressed air. But monkey went after some oil for me. So we're gonna go ahead and check it for spark, all right? So let me grab my spark tester. You guys have seen me use this before. It doesn't check for spark for the plug. For the spark plug, it just checks to see if it's got spark to the plug and that'll tell me I have to pull the flywheel. This does not have points. If I have to check the coil, the more expensive stuff. So let's see. Now this thing will light up. If it's got spark, you'll see it light up, okay? Let's try this. Let's turn it on. Turn the switch on to see if it's got spark. Now at the end, when it turns over, when you hear that clunk, clunk, clunk, there's nothing wrong with it. It's a, there's a, they're kind of like a blade that kicks the stuff out and that's what you hear. They're just, they just flap around. And when it's running, centrifugal force holds them out. So don't be alarmed about that. You see a spark? A little closer. I'm seeing it spark. She's got spark. Let's change, let's go ahead and get the oil draining. So that's draining. I'll put the chute back onto the back, the hopper, they call it, on back onto the back. By the time we do that, she should be back and we'll put some oil in it. Okay. I just cut this out of the bottom of a water container. I've had people ask me before where you can get rid of oil at. Get rid of them before you can take them to Walmart. AutoZone will take it. It's free, advanced auto. Most, most AutoZone's not all of them. About 95% of them will take it. And you're allowed up to like 20 quarts per visit, is what they say. So, you know, just sad, you know, just keep adding up your, your oil. And, you know, you just take it in and they'll get rid of it for you for free. They take batteries as well. But also batteries, if you have old car batteries or anything like that, tractor batteries, you can take them to the scrap yard. They'll give you money for it. Not a lot, but you know, a couple bucks a piece. So, we're gonna let this drain out. While this is draining, I'm gonna go ahead and put the chute back on, okay? All right, just in time, monkey just pulled back. I usually like to let him, when I change oil to run him and let it get hot, you know, up to operating temperature and let it drain out, but this will be okay for now, because I didn't wanna run it like that. So, hopefully it runs, period. We don't know yet, do we, Monk? Okay, I've got some oil here. I think, I know a five horse takes 20 ounces, generally. Not sure what this is gonna take, but I'm gonna put 20 in it and I'm gonna put 20 ounces in it and we'll check it. Might be fine. Just put some cheap dollar general store oil in it and check it. Also, guys, if, I don't know if I've ever mentioned this before, but you're checking the oil on anything. Oh, that's pretty much right on the full mark. The dark spot up here is from where it was sent in, but you can see the wet spots right on the full mark. If, for some reason, one side of your dipstick is, where's my rat? Yes, that just wiped it off, so that's how I knew there was a little bit of gas in it at one time, I could smell it, but if one side of your dipstick's lower than the other, always go by the low side, okay? And also, if you put, if you're overflowing oil, that's just as bad, if not worse, for your engine as being a quart low. So keep that in mind as well. Check it one more time just to be sure. Monkey went and got us some gas. We're gonna take this thing outside, right on the full mark. See where it's shiny. So, okay, guys, so 20 ounces for this take. So I did blow the fuel tank out with compressed air. That's the good, it should be okay. So let me go get my jacket on. We're gonna take this outside and see if we can get it to start. Okay, we're looking at the carburetor. What we're gonna look for is I'm gonna put some gas in it and we're gonna look for leaks around here, around here, you know, and see if it's flooding out or anything. Also, I did take the air cleaner out. The air cleaner's fine, it looks like new. Let's go ahead and pour some gas in here, and see what happens. All right, so far I'm not seeing anything. Let's pump the primer bulb. I hate these kind of primer bulbs because you can't see what's going on. You can't see if it's getting fuel. Usually you can feel it or hear it. It just seems to me like it's not doing anything, but let's give it a couple pulls and see what happens. Right there, see the fuel running out of it? It sounds like it seems to me like it's got a stuck float. So, let me see what's going on with that thing. Okay guys, so I tapped on this, on this bowl and what happened, it quit leaking. So I don't, if somebody rebuilt this for this guy, they screwed it. So, there's no shut off on this fuel. So let's just go ahead and, as I can tell you right now that carburetor, this bowl has not been off this carburetor. I can tell you that right now, that gasket, but see that carburetor's not been rebuilt. I'm going to get some carburetor cleaner and I'm going to spray some carb cleaner in that. And then we'll go from there and see what happens. We'll try to start it. Okay guys, I pulled the bowl off. Well, you saw that. And I checked the placement of where the depth was on the float. I sprayed it out with some carburetor cleaner. Now, let's see if it'll run without flooding out. I already pulled the air cleaner off because I didn't want it filling up and getting that filter all wet. Let's see if we can get it to run. Now, since it was flooding out, I figured it's probably got plenty of fuel. I'm not going to hit the primer bowl. I might help if I turn the switch on. I'm going to fit it with it for a minute. We'll spray some more carburetor cleaner in there. Let's see what happens after that. I'll be right back with, I think we've got it straightened out. Yeah, and I sold the blowers. Remember, the blowers that left is yours. Yeah, so you're doing pretty good. Well, I'm glad that it's not a major issue. That you were kind of concerned, but you had a good ink link that it probably wasn't. So it just goes to show that a lot of people buy these things and then they break down, they don't know what to do because they don't know how to fix them or they take them to places and they get ripped off. And that's the bad part. Well, carburetor don't seem to be leaking gas. It was leaking gas. Was it? Yeah, it took it apart and checked it and everything. The float was stuck. Is that what you were smelling then? You think? Well, yeah, it flooded out. I got something in the oil, but we're good now. We changed the oil, so. Yeah, that's a good thing. Yeah, very pleased. I kind of like it. I do too. Yeah, the only thing that's missing is the bag, but I do have that bag in there for the blower. Yeah, but, no, I mean that's... Just to break it, you know, until you can get one. No, why am I gonna buy a bag? You're gonna put in a bunch of money in these things. You can't get no money out of them. Why am I gonna go buy a bag for this? Let somebody else buy the bag. I'm not keeping it, if that's what you're getting at. Oh, I guess if you don't, I have the bag. You're not supposed to have it sitting right here, but... Well, like if we used it. What do you mean? This thing's going to sell tomorrow. Oh, yeah, for 70 bucks, we got a $450. Well, then you got taxed close to $500 item here. But I was going to... I was gonna put 200 on it and take like 175. I'd sell it, of course, we need the money, so... We need the money, I didn't buy it to keep, huh? No, I know, but it's kind of cool. Yeah, it's bad ass. Yeah, look at all the mulch I have. Oh, you'd have all kinds of mulch. Yeah, mm-hmm. You know, I mean, good looking mulch too. Mm-hmm. I mean, that thing, man, it shreds it up now. We always got these tree limbs and shit falling down and... Oh, always. So what do you think? I like it, mm-hmm. Very good, did a good job. Yep, thank you. Yep. All right, I'm done for today. Okay, good. All right, well, I could work on a weedier. No, you need to rest. All right, okay, well, with that being said then, thanks for watching. Monkey says she's out for now. Don't forget to check out Monkey's channel. She's getting some good videos up, awesome. Yeah.
