 Hey everyone, Sheba 1000 here. Today we've got this Edger trimmer extended life engine and It's the eager one 3.8 horsepower so Rapid Stark a little over a year ago about 14 months ago I Made a video when I got this getting it running if I remember right it ran, okay Just need a little bit of straightening out on the carburetor, but I haven't had it running since and it's been sitting around back See Okay, that's a good sign. There is no fuel in there. That's good So I'm gonna put some fuel in it and this spark plug I'll have to check it, but I Took this out of my John Deere Because it didn't have spark in the John Deere and I put the one out of here in the John Deere and my John Deere ran So I'm gonna clean this up. We'll check it for spark We're just gonna get this running if I can get a running pretty good. Maybe I'll sell it We'll check the oil and it is right on the fool mark and it looks pretty good So let me get you set up and stand I'm not gonna bore you with clean this plug I'm just gonna clean it off with a wire wheel in there. I know you're not supposed to do that, but I've done it for years Never had an issue. I Can understand the sandpaper not wanting you sandpaper on here Because if one little tiny grit of that sand Get stuck in here when you put it in here and it gets down in that cylinder before it blows out the exhaust You can screw your cylinder up in about three point four seconds Or three point eight seconds, okay, so let's get that and I'll get you on stand how to bring this over in shade and We'll see what we can what we can do with it. Okay, so first thing I'm gonna do is we're gonna check for spark I Think this has got electronic ignition so that shouldn't be an issue. I Do know this thing. It's not very tight. I did clean the plug up Make sure the gap was correct now we're gonna be In trying to get it where it can touch metal Okay, I'll just hold it Hopefully I don't get shocked too bad now what we're gonna be looking at is Get you whoops more centered here. I'm gonna be looking right there. Okay, I Got the switch on Let's see if it's got spark Okay, it does. I don't know if you guys can see that I'll zoom in a little bit more here Whoops, not the greatest, but it should run it. I have to lube that up. Okay, so we got spark Now let's get some gas I got a bottle here that I used to mix my whoops Gas and oil in the boat with There's a little bit of oil down the bottom, but that's okay. It won't hurt anything if anything it'll help it for as long as this has been sent so Let me get some gas. Let me put this plug in here first. I do remember this thing does not have a Air cleaner on it. I do remember that well I see it's gone and the reason why I remember that is because I look back in the old video So It says it's Rapid start we're gonna find out. All right, let me get some gas in here What I'm gonna do is I'm gonna take some gas Out of the generator because after sets so long You know I start using it in other things like lawnmowers and stuff And then when it comes around to always have enough in there though in case we need it But then when it comes around to Hurricane season I'll fill her back up with fresh gas. I don't like to leave nothing set too long like that. I always run it out of gas When I start it and check it I will shut the gas off and run it out. So Let's get some fuel. Okay. I don't have a funnel. Well, I do Send send my mess in there somewhere might be over in the boat. Just want to dump it into this measuring cup And then I'll pour it in here Well, that didn't help much either did it? Let me find my rag. I'll get that wiped off and we'll see if she'll start Okay, his leaky carburetor But let's see if it'll start anyway. Maybe it'll come out of it. What I like about that carburetor is it's got adjustments on it All right, let's hurry up for it fills up with fuel All right, let's see if it's a rapid start choke on Give it about half throttle. I'm gonna I'm gonna say that started first crank. Let's open the choke up halfway Well choke it again I'd be flooded Give a full throttle right open choke Okay, let me see if it's flooded and check that plug again Bring in a little bit. I'm gonna say I started first crank This is a tecumse Okay, no There's no fuel It's dry as a bone So it did suck enough to fire and then that was it for runs. Good. We'll tighten that up. We'll try it out It's still leaking fuel down here. You know what? Let's give it a little bit of help. There should be a little bit of fuel left in this fuel line We'll dribble some down in there. So I think maybe tomorrow We'll get out the old 72 74 76 whatever it is. I'd have to go back and look in my archive or in my old videos and See what year that old Briggs and Stratton is All right, let me move you back. All right. Let's try this again. Let's do what we did the first time We'll choke it by half throttle. You ain't the boy off that carburetor Yeah, it's dry again. It's not sucking enough gas up in there Let me act the boy off that carburetor And We'll see if that's not an issue Okay, I must not have ran it clear out of gas. There's some gunk down in there May have been from before. There's a lot of gunk in there. That's not in the tank. The tank's clean. So Let me get this cleaned out. I'll take these jets out and clean. I'm not gonna bore you with that You got to see me do that a hundred times Just a standard carburetor. Let me get this cleaned up We'll put it together and try it again. Okay guys, so I Took the bowl off it drain the gas out check that it was fine tanks fine I Showed you the bowl. Well, I took the main jet out and Where the jet goes in there's the tube it screws into and there's a little pinhole in it It was clogged now. I showed you guys that but either I forgot to hit record or you weren't paying attention, okay? I'm betting I didn't hit record and I know this because When I went to shut off Record it started recording. So I wasn't recording. All right. So now It's back together. I Just unscrewed each at the the main jet and the low-speed jet I just unscrewed a One and a half turns on each and if it starts we're gonna let it warm up a minute and then we'll we'll adjust the carburetor So let's see If it'll run make sure that's tight. Take it. I want to floor. I'll let this warm up and I'm gonna fit it with it We'll see how well we can get running. Okay. It's warmed up now. It's still hunting at an idle surgeon So I think there's still some dirt in that carburetor needs taking off a good cleaning and I think a new plug would help But I wanted to show you this For those of you that haven't seen this machine before Right now it's an edger But if you you flip this and you can turn that Down to there now it cuts weeds. It's like the blades. Not that great so And anywhere in between and you even got 15 degrees that way So let's try the edger out first And then we'll go over here And see if I cut some wheat. Is that is that blade on right? It could probably use a blade because it's pretty warm But let me get you set up over here. We'll start this thing up and I'll show you how it edges And then I'll show you We'll see how it cuts weeds You can also set the depth by raising this up and down and I don't want to let it go so far This also gives you different heights. Let's go ahead and fire this up and try to cut some weeds Let me get that dug out of there. This is gonna be what we're gonna try to cut down These things grow around here like wildfire I Did cut the rest of that over there where we were at and again You weren't recording so Let's see Let's see how well it cuts that down. All right guys. So I think with a little bit of tweaking Air filter. I think that thing'd be all right Sharpen that blade up. It might not need one. I have to see what size They are and then measure that one because you know concrete Really eats metal up. So there you guys go. It's another Well, it's still run I guess After every year sitting out back uncovered All right guys. Thanks for watching. We'll see you the next one And uh, she bears the myth man legend gone for now. Bye. Bye guys. Take care everyone
