 everyone, Shaber1000 here today, going to check spark plugs in this thing and see what they're like because last time we had it out it was running kind of funky on low low RPM didn't want idle and just above an idle it was just you know like when using a no wake zone or something it was just kind of kind of missing cutting out so we're gonna pull these plugs out I still got the old ones I always save these two-stroke engines especially the old ones like this notorious for filing plugs out because well they burn oil and that's because they're two cycle oils mixed in with the gas so it's inevitable you know you're burning oil you're gonna file a plug out so I kept the old two which was running fine on it but when I put the new head on I went ahead and put new plugs in it so we're gonna pull these plugs out and we're gonna see what they look like I'm still not sure if it was a carburetor issue or what so let's get you up here I'm gonna do an intro or nothing we're just gonna we're just messing around it's supposed to rain today so I don't want to get into anything too major I figure at least with this I could throw the engine cover back on real quick if I have to yeah when I want to pull it up on the trailer the it didn't want to start and then since I got it on the trailer it fired right up so I know it's gonna need a carburetor cleaning but I just think I don't have that kind of time today because I think the rain's coming that looks weird into that plug here let's get that pulled out and I'll show you it doesn't look real bad does it that's the top one which would be number one we've got a little bit of rust around there right there I'm sure what that is you see that on the top of that that dark spot okay so that's the top one let's pull the bottom one out this is the one I had to put that heater coil in that repair kit so hopefully it stays in and the plug comes out no and it didn't but it doesn't look real bad either it's got the same thing around there it's been leaking right there so these things not they don't seal up right see that it shouldn't be there that's coming out not dripping down as you can see that's actually coming out of the cylinder so I'm definitely losing compression on this cylinder I see this piece was supposed to stay in see the difference this piece here was supposed to stay in there and it didn't but the plug doesn't look bad so it could be a carburetor issue there's no valves in this you know well it's got reed valves in it I was going to just go and put the old plugs in it they look pretty good that was after three runnings with these old plugs I'm definitely going to put the one on top in see it looks like it was leaking too there could be an issue right up here on this head not sealing if you have that issue you're losing compression so I'm gonna go ahead and put this old one back in here because I can change ease out on the lake you know what it's not a big deal as you can see that one in yeah this insert was supposed to stay in there and it didn't and of course it doesn't want to go in straight I may have to go get my tool clean them threads up on that that's what I'm gonna do let me go grab my tool we'll clean the threads out I may just put as it was running pretty good with these I may just put the old ones back in it yeah I'm gonna do that hang on a second okay this is that set comes with this what you do is you bring this down into the spark plug hole and it cuts new threads and then you put one of these inserts in I got the shortest one in thought about putting one of these in the truck in the Toyota but I changed my mind because well that's not as easy to get to this I can pull this head off here in five minutes if that and the truck well that's a lot that's a lot of doing you know what I mean so let's go ahead we're gonna screw this on here put this down in here we're gonna screw this in and get you up here maybe you can see a little better kind of clean these threads up if you guys are doing this on whatever vehicle make sure that piston is down so you don't hit your piston I mean still could be in a carburetor I don't know but hey you're supposed to put some Loctite on this and I can't find my Loctite so and as you guys saw it didn't really hold it in that well so because that's supposed to stay in when you pull your plug out and set this over here make sure I got the right plug I'll see if we can get this one started yeah I know for a fact it was leaking here guys I'll show you real quick see that right down through there it's leaking it's coming out of here it does feel a little buggered up there cuz but this is the hole that was bad when I got the head so I still got my old head but it's warped so I may have to plane it down myself but yeah that's what causes that it's leaking there so like I said if you're leaking around that plug it's losing compression you know so you don't ever want to start start an engine with just plugs finger tight because if you do and it's leaking you're gonna lose compression it's not gonna run right see that's not going straight so I'm gonna fit all around with this comes a Jeep on a boat yep boaters never seen that guy before my leg he sees me working on my boat he's telling his boat tap the horn okay let me see if I can get this to go in straight if not oh see this one stayed in it's not all the way in that little insert stayed in on this one yeah can you see that so let me fit all around with this and I'll be back with you sometimes it's just you know you just got to get them till they go straight then you know sometimes they'll run in a little hard all the way in but make sure they're straight so let me go ahead and mess around with this and I'll be whoops I'll be right back with you all right I got them in there I got it in there but it doesn't look straight to me but who knows so I think what we'll do we'll start it up real quick and I know it should be in the water I'm not worried about that but yeah they're right it should be in the water but when you start them up and let's see how well this thing starts I'm squeeze the primer bulb I need I want to check the gas to we'll see how much we used well I thought for sure this thing would be would have used a lot of fuel but it's actually used less than when we usually go out so I still didn't squeeze okay it's hard to start all right monkeys back hang on guys all right try this again anyway guys as you can see the lids back on but there's still more video to come because I I don't know what I filmed it didn't film so anyway I'll start it back up for you again as you'll see this all after the fact so I just thought it threw it in now sounds good revved up wide open like monkey says sounds real strong we had the Corvette fired up one day and I was revving it up dead revenue clearing it's throat out you know she said sounds real strong I got that on ring door bell camera check it out okay back to the video okay so I just I sent here talking to him not recording so you can see I had it running I don't have much of that recorded but anyway it's still low speed I don't know I think it may need a set of rings but I'd like to before I rip that thing apart I'd like to find just another engine put on it before put a whole bunch of money into this one so like I said it's revving up high fine but low speed it doesn't want to run right so anyway I'll just have to get it out on the water and and see but you know I I don't know guys I'm not I'm not sure but I can run a compression test on it sometime not gonna do it today because it looks like rain I will run a compression test on it and that'll tell me if the rings are bad or not you know how much compression I got so anyway as you seen I can't even remember if anyway I pulled the plug wires off one at a time and they both made a difference at just off an idle so that's telling me this the spark plugs are working and when I go wide open especially in gear see if you got it neutral it won't go wide open so when you put it in gear it will go wide open it's designed that way there's nothing wrong with it and it just runs fine but that thing always did run funny at an idle or off an idle so it can still be in the carburetor when you're just when you're going through no wake you're just off an idle and you adjust the slow speed on it it doesn't really make that much of a difference unless you go extreme one way or the other so it could still could be in a carburetor they were supposed to have cleaned it but I don't know if they did or not and if they did did they really clean it or just take it apart kind of do what I just did spread down I don't know we have to get it on the water and see anyway thought I'd bring you along with me on this Saturday so you know hopefully you guys are having a great weekend we monkeys been looking forward to the Cougar Festival and for those of you guys that don't know what the Cougar Festival is it's a three-day party in the park for strictly adults no just kidding it's a turtle down here it's called a turtle or it's called a Cougar the turtle the Cougar turtle and we haven't gone for past couple years because they were rebuilding the park which is great it looks beautiful and then you know we had we had the 19 roll up on us so you know what I mean the Rona came around and so you know we didn't go so she took her mom down there last night as her mom's never been there and she wanted to go see it so she took her down there last night and I won't tell you what it went to crap hardly anybody was there and once they got there it was $20 to park used to be free then she found a place to park and went there and come to find out you have to buy tickets in advance because they rolled up this country jam this country music jam thing which is another festival they rolled it up into one into the Cougar Festival I think they're trying to educate her festival out that's been a hundred years or whatever you know and it used to all be free and in order to do that you have to go online and buy tickets or bundle tickets and online it said $45 up to $2,000 hmm anyway she talked to a guy that was there and he paid $100 for the three days for a VIP and so if you didn't pay you wouldn't allowed to go and park I wanted to get down there today and hold a sign because you know first of all used to be free second of all we've already paid for that park we paid for the park to be you know all refabished refurbished and you know all redone which like I said it's beautiful they did a great job but now they're charging to use the park for them three days because there's music there so like if you walk your dog every day at 6 p.m. through that park you can't do it this weekend they won't let you in there and I think that's against our constitutional rights for them to say you can't go in that park unless you pay us money I don't care that is not right okay I understand the bands have to be paid I understand you know you got to buy stuff from the vendors that's cool I get it but the band being paid supposed to be our tax money that does that so she was talking to a vendor that was there and I guess the I don't know if it's parks department or you know whoever from from the mayor's office or whatever whoever's into that was going around and asking the vendors for 20 extra dollars on top they then paying for their vending space to park their trailers and stuff to sell stuff it was going around asking if they could get 20 more dollars because they had to pay the bands they didn't even have enough to pay the bands now here's my question what if I walk through there and was walking up to every vendor saying I need $20 I gotta feed my family I'd be put in jail you know that's ridiculous they don't want a guy sitting on the sidewalk down there playing music he's in threat of arrest because he's playing his guitar and he's got a can there accepting donations but they can have a three-day party and charge up to $2,000 to go to this party so I don't know like I said so we're thinking about taking a boat down there I don't know if we will today because it looks like rain so maybe tomorrow it's the last day taking a boat down there because the park's right on the lake just pulling right up there and sitting in the boat and seeing if they say anything because they damn sure can't close that lake off so anyway that's another video but so that's what was going on so anyway thanks for watching guys appreciate it she bear the myth man legend gone for now we'll see you guys in the next one bye bye guys have a great weekend and happy Halloween
