 Hey guys Shaper 1000 here Today, we're gonna see if we can get this one of these old Edgers running so stick with me. I'll show you what we're going to do first yesterday. You've seen that I I Bought these these edgers. I bought two of them They don't run as of right now, but I think they will run. I don't know what kind of shape they're in I'm in a garage today because I had an appointment this morning And then I was going to get down to in the road and set up my stand and try to sell some stuff But it's good thing I didn't because the start of raining so I'm in my messy garage. Don't judge Well, that's kind of First thing we're going to do is let's see what this kind of shape this carburetor's in Can't be that great of shape These things there's really nothing to them What we're going to have to do is try to make sure everything's moving throat is working sounds like the governor's working This has a muffler's aid up right there as you can see Now on my other motor the little white one What I was talking about one day is this is the kind of the kind of Air cleaner air filter system it should have on it and it's got that big round one Okay, that's going to need cleaned out as you can tell this looks like it may be bent it is a little bit That's what screws in there. Yeah, it's got a little bend to it Some of these you have to have a screw in here. They won't run right and I don't believe this is one of them but There's the that's the choke. I'll have to get something take it off. See what what the See what the gas tank looks like and throttle cable seems to be Freed up it wasn't sitting out in rain. So Yeah, see it's moving So that will be working now some of these right here Had a little tab that clipped on here, and you actually push it over to ground it out to shut it off this one may have a Switch down here by the governor somewhere it. Oh, it's not really switch all it does is ground out the coil so it doesn't run but First thing we'll actually do is we'll see if this thing's got spark or not and then we're going to check well, you know what? let me grab my Channel locks or repair pliers or something try to get this off here. Let's see what the gas tank looks like Okay, guys, I've got Well beat up channel locks here Let's see if we can get this off here without tearing it up too bad. Yeah, that wasn't too bad. It was sitting yeah, it's It's a little rusty. I've seen worse, but I've seen better It's got a little like a corner for gas that'll have to drain out It's kind of turned a turpentine. You gotta see it wiggling around The first I'm gonna check it for spark And check the oil. Let me get my Tester so we can see if this thing's got spark and I'm gonna check the oil and I'll be right back with you Okay, so it's got oil in it. It's full. It doesn't look that great But it's full now if you don't have one of these guys You can use a test light if you don't have a test light Get it real close to that spark plug or any kind of metal and go ahead and pull Pull the rope and see if it's got spark You'll see it zapping across there I want to use this Or get a friend to hold on to it After he's had a couple drinks. He won't give a shit All right. Now. Let's see if this lights up if this lights up when we pull the the rope then It's got spark to the plug now That's not want to tell me if the plugs got spark or not. We'll have to pull that out But this is just showing you how you can check this Normally what I would do is I would have went ahead and pulled the plug out and Check the plug for spark and then went backwards, but you can do however you want to do Okay, I don't see any spark So what we're going to have to do Is I'm going to put you down here. We're going to pull this off of here We're going to pull the flywheel off and check the points and see what kind of condition the points are in So let me get you down here where you can see better Okay, guys, there's only three bolts that hold this cover on here There's one down here on this side one right behind it back here on This side back here in the back and there's one on top. So let's go ahead and take them boats out Try not to lose them. They're pretty short bolts. You can get them But I think guys put too long bolts in there and what they did was they went in and they rubbed up against the flywheel And they thought their motor was blocked up or locked up and so I actually got it pretty cheap So this should be yeah Just wanted to make sure that was wide open because if the throttle is not wide open on this It will actually shut the Spark off there's been something living in there. Well, no, not this one I'm not sure how you kill this one, but Anyway, a lot of times you can get by with just There's a magnet right here. You can take this Mac. Just get your piece sandpaper clean your magnet off take your coil off and clean that up But I'm guessing I if I was to guess I would guess that the The points or maybe stuck or shot you know, so So we're going to go ahead We're gonna go ahead and pull this flywheel off. I'll show you how to do that. So I'll get you over here a little bit more So there's two little screws here one take them screws out like find the right socket and not have it Okay, so All these do here these little screws is just hold this screen on here just like it just keeps the grass and That kind of thing out of it set these over here. So I'll lose them We may put a little grease or something in here now There is a way There is a tool that you that you can get That goes on here and twist these off now. I don't have one. So I'll show you what I do to get these off Okay, I use this hammer. It's not mine. I don't know. I think I left mine in back of monkey's truck Just take that put that see that right there down here and just give it a couple wax and It should be careful not to break any of these fins off because that's that'll that'll also knock off the balance of the Fly won't eventually you worry bearings out. We got just like that. That's all you got to do Now these can be finicky to get off Okay, but Now what you can do is you can you can actually tap on this now It's not advisable, but I've been doing these for years and I've never had an issue So what I'm going to do And so I'll show you how to How to take that off You want to be real careful with this though. You don't want to screw the end of it up So I'm gonna get something back here behind here and I'm gonna put a little pressure on it And we'll give that a tap. So hang on Okay, I'm just gonna take take this and put it right right behind there And I'm gonna give that a little bit of pressure You make a tool that screws on here that you hit the tool with and you just kind of like bank Well, there you go. That was good enough and you just bang it and it'll knock that loose So it does the same thing. I just did so you'll be all right. All right. Now. Here's your key The little key you don't want to lose This key here and it's called keyed. It's got a key way in there and One in here on your Crank shaft now what we've got to do is What that does is if you hit something really hard this will This will shear off that fly will spin around and shear this off it's also known as a shear pin or shear key and That way it keeps anything really super bad from happening to your engine So now we're gonna take this cover off and right behind here Right behind here are the points There they are right there Okay, now I'm gonna get you down here and give you a good look at that. I know a lot of you guys already know but For those of you that don't know There's the points right there. Okay now I was gonna pull that coil off But I can sand it right here is where you want to sand your coil right there Sometimes there's a piece in the middle. This one doesn't have that But saying that there and that there Here's the points, which they look pretty good So I'm gonna turn this and make sure they're gonna open and close Get a light on here for you. Okay now this should go up and down right here Yeah, see it's opening and closing Make sure that that is opening and closing See it just closed Open Okay Now I'm just gonna take Those points don't look bad at all They mean may need to be adjusted. I'm just gonna take me a piece of sandpaper run back and forth inside there and I'll have to readjust them But that's all I'm gonna do right at the moment and We'll go from there and see what we got going on. Okay, so let me get you on a different stand I got me a piece of sandpaper here Now you can use a nail file, but they make a point file for your points, but you can use a Nail file just don't let your wife know and Take this back and forth Okay, so see this one comes off pretty easy, so let's go ahead and take this off It's just held on there that clip and that wire and we're gonna take a look at that It doesn't look too bad Let me zoom in on that a little bit But it does need clean same with the top one. So let's go ahead and clean these out and I'm just gonna take my sandpaper and I'm gonna send this off. I've seen them a lot worse So I'm gonna send that off. I'm gonna send that off Now I'll get back with you. I want to make sure that this the plunger That's that's what raises your points up and down. Look. It's it's well lubricated And it's nice and free sometimes these things will stick But it's not so let me get them cleaned off and I'll get back with you Okay, so I got the points all cleaned up and I don't think I had have to adjust them if I do I will but they looked to be about right I don't have a filler gauge What I use on that is something similar to a match books a matchbook cover and I'll fold it in half and adjust them when I adjust these again I just use them a matchbook and stick in there not folded in half and that'll be fine But I've got this cleaned up. I may have to adjust this. I'm not sure but I don't think I will I think maybe they just needed a little cleaning. I did Sand that off sometimes that that could be the whole issue right there And I did sand these off underneath here nice and the way they should be nice and clean So we're gonna Put this and I'm gonna turn it up to the top. So don't want to fall out on us There's in just like that This washer don't see how it's concave or whatever Don't take it and flatten it out It's supposed to be like that because that is what keeps this tight now I want to stick this on here and I'm gonna tighten it the same way I loosen them. Okay, I'm just gonna You can use You can use a pipe wrenches on it if if you've got a pipe wrench I'm gonna pop this off here. I'm gonna shoot some grease in here and Or put some grease in it I probably should have did it when it's off because there's ball bearings on there But anyway feels pretty good But anyway, sometimes these will stick on you don't want that like a ball bearing will stick up there and You go to pull it nothing happens. So like right there, you know But okay, I'm gonna go ahead and take this back off. I'm not gonna bore you with it I'm gonna pop this off of here And I'll put a little bit of grease in Well, I'll probably use some barn chain oil on it because sometimes grease will make them stay out when you don't want that So I'll probably use some barn chain oil. You can use 30 weight. I wouldn't recommend grease not a good idea So let me get that done and I'll be back with you. I gotta make some room on my memory card, too So I'll show you what this is inside of here how that works see all them ball bearings all them ball bearings in there Okay Now a lot of guys will tell you don't put anything in here, but I like to put a little bit of something It don't take a lot But I like to put something in it So all I'm gonna do is take a little of this barn chain oil It's a little bit which I still might be too thick But I've used barn chain oil in the past. It seemed to be all right Take this and slide this off here. That's a little seal Inspect it. This one seems to be okay. All that does is keep the dirt and grease out from there So you're gonna want to just stick these down in here and I'm missing one Which you can see how that works When it's running it goes like that, but when you go to start it pulls the Hmm, so this may have been off it here before because I am missed there it is Okay, there you go. Now you're gonna stick this back on just like that Make sure it's just tap on it tap on it with something That feels good now. I'm gonna put it back on the engine All right now before I put this all together if you've done everything right all you should have to do is just Spin this thing back and forth Let me shut this light out here And you should be able to see that light up back over here on the man I don't know if you can see it there good. So Or you can grab a hold of it and do that. It won't that be too bad, but So we know we got spark there. So I'm gonna put this back together and we'll check the spark plug for spark and Then we'll see if we can get this thing to fire up Okay, I just want to show you this real quick now put a little bit of oil down in there a lot of times These things are like a plastic and they'll wear out and they get loose but this This square and that's that now when you get to put this on sometimes What you're going what you're gonna have to do well most of the time Instead of trying to get that engine right just put this on there and get it a little cool There you go and that'll line it up make sure up here at the top Make sure that this is in that divot make sure it's nice and free because you could cut into that and your engine won't run Okay, so Let me get the boats in here And we'll check the spark plug for spark. Okay. All right now. Let's get the spark plug out. I know it's not the right socket but Well, it fits it. It's just It's an impact socket and that plug looks good man looks really really good Gaps a little close, but I think I'm gonna See if it's got spark right now just like that. I'm just gonna put that on there And I'm gonna zoom you in a little closer and once you guys to see You should see a little blue spark there. You most you guys see See it sparking see that or not Maybe now Hell of a good spark so It's time for us to shoot a little gas See if I can see if the valves are moving. I Can't see the valves on this one Okay Let's get this in here We this tighten down and let me get a little bit of gas and we'll pour a little bit of gas down in this carburetor And we'll see if it'll fire. Okay. Let me grab my gas. Okay. I just got this little bottle here. Just like that I'm gonna dump some Some of this gas right down here in this carburetor, and I'm gonna choke it. It's a cold engine now I'm gonna Throw it on. I'm gonna full throttle. Yeah Okay, so let's give it a pull and Let's see what happens How many cranks guys open the choke up? We need to I'm gonna pull this off of here And I'm gonna drain this out and I'm gonna put some good gas in here Let's see. I took this off so it'd be safe the belt for this. I didn't want this thing spinning around on me Check that see I don't know if you can see it. There's a little bit of movement here But you can still buy bearings or bushings or whatever they have for these So I'll probably have to put some bushings in it. I don't know It's no big deal if I do That pulley looks kind of shaky I think I got I do I know I do I've got a pulley that'll fit that so Yeah, see looks like the set screws missing out of it. So that's probably all it is I do have a pulley. I think that'll fit that I'm not sure but I know where I can get one if I need to buy one I can't put a lot of money into it because this is for resale But I can put a little bit into it okay, so let me get this off of here and Let me pour some get it cleaned out all I'm gonna do is dump it out switch some gas around in it and I'm gonna put it back on and We're gonna See if it'll fire up okay, I Puts I dumped this out. I cleaned it out. Well the best I could I think the carburetor needs clean So let's go ahead and take this carburetor off of here and we'll see what kind of shape it's in because It will run When you pour gas in it and it only runs till it runs that out Okay, so This one I can just get by I think there's just two Phillips screws heads right here So I'm gonna Take them out drop that tank down. There's a gasket and diaphragm here. I'm guessing that diaphragm sticking or it's bad You can still buy them diaphragms are really cheap What they do is they get old and stick sometimes you can just keep doing that and they'll actually free themselves up But most of the time they won't But they get they get dried out. Anything's worth a shot, right? And there you go under here. This does not have a diaphragm in it So let's go ahead and pull this carburetor off. It's easy enough screw here Do not lose this screw to take this screw off of here. You lose that special washer. See that's a special Washer on there. So what I usually do is I'll stick it back in the hole that came out of because all that does is hold that So you don't have to worry about getting in there and cleaning anything So I'll screw that back in there. I don't lose my arm either So I'm gonna go ahead and take that off take this one out The bottom one does have a bolt in it. These things are real simple guys This one does not have a diaphragm on it. So There's a little bolt right down there at the bottom thing about them mufflers though Man and things are paying to get out sometimes when they've been in there that long pretty important It's your your throttle. You don't want to bend this rod up because it'll change Where your throttle operates? So let's take a good look at this a lot of times these screens here They'll get plugged up. It's just a little screen. It doesn't look too bad Really the only adjustment on here is this right here. I'm gonna loosen that up the 716 16th right here. I'm gonna take this out and see what it looks like in there And there's a little jet inside there that gets plugged up Right down in there see that hole and I got a battery like blink. So what I'm gonna do guys That's all there is to taking this one apart This one does not have I was thinking of the newer style that has the That has the diaphragm in it. This one does not So I'm gonna take this out and I'm gonna set it in my cleaner. I'm gonna clean my bench off we'll take it on the bench and We'll check everything out from there. Okay, so let me get you on the charger and I can see that hole right there. There's a little hole in this. It's plugged up That's probably the only problem with it, but let me get you charged up and let me check this out and we'll go from there Now I don't have an ultrasonic cleaner guys. I can tell you right now that this This jet here Is clogged This is clogged somewhere this too because I cannot blow through it goes up in there. That's where your jet goes This is just your throttle All you do to take it out get you put in there is You back your idle screw all then you can turn that so it goes past that little tab And that's all that does is block your air off for that's all that does Okay, so and there's your choke all that does is Block your air off. Okay already got this open here. So I'm going Like I said, I need to get an ultrasonic cleaner. I'm just gonna put this stuff in here Set this in here for now because I've got a gasket on here. I want to set this down in there but this gasket I'm afraid that stuff's gonna I can I can make one of these if I have to but I'm just going to put it down inside there just like that if I got to make a gasket for this I will that'll just give me another Thing to show you guys. So see it's kind of all Okay, so let's get this go ahead and Let's just go ahead and drop this down in there. I could just put it like that That's what I'll do. I'll get something to hold this I'll just do it just like that there we go and that way everything's see what I did there I just kind of okay Just kind of hooked it on the side there So I don't have to worry about the gas can I'm gonna let this soak for about an hour Okay, and that'll give the camera time to charge up give me time to charge up and Monkey's messaging me so I can spend a few minutes talking to her. So let's just let that set I wish I did have an ultrasonic cleaner You guys want to donate check out patreon. I'm giving off a sonic cleaner. Okay guys now We'll be back with this okay Okay, guys. I've got her pretty well cleaned out. Oh, we're gonna put I can blow through it now We're gonna put I had to take this to about these things are paining ass to get out Usually they're harder to get back in But this one I just took a pair of pliers and wiggled it back and forth finally it pulled out It's just a press fit. Okay, so first thing we're gonna want to put this in our jet It was clogged and I used this little tiny drill bit to help me unclog it Well, plus I let it soak, you know for about an hour. So Just put that in there and screw that back in Carbiders in good shape. You don't want it super down and walking tight just tight enough. Okay? now This had a Washer on it. So you're gonna want to put your washer on and put this in here Make sure you got this Needle valve pulled out a little bit so it don't run up in there and Squish itself because that can happen. I've seen it happen. I've never done it But I have seen now just to get it running what we're gonna do To adjust this is I'm gonna screw it all the way in just till it touches You don't want to jam it in there again because it'll it'll screw up the tip. So right there that just stopped I'm going back it out. There's a half a turn There's a whole turn and there's a turn in a half on these carburetors a Turn in half the two turns is all you're going to need on these to get them started now You may need to adjust them more than that later once you get them running But to get it running that is all you're going to need Okay, so we're gonna put this back down in here. So it goes gets past that part There it is. I want to turn the idle up just a little bit. I want to set the idle and stuff later Okay, so something like that just so this is not gonna fall out on you now I'm gonna go over here and put this carburetor back on and the tank back up on it got it back together and I got gas in it Let's fire it up See if it'll stay running now. I think a little more that I didn't even just that carburetor I just turned it a turn in a half out So the carburetor might need a little adjustment before it's so good So stay tuned next couple days. We'll get the other one in here. I'll bet you we can get it going too All right guys there. I'm gonna get this video added edited for you and I Think tomorrow I'm going down to sale and probably Saturday But you know if I don't stay all day tomorrow, we'll we'll mess around with the other one and get it going Like I said, this one still needs a little tweaking. I think that's a good running engine. I mean I've never heard it run till today the first time I heard it run. You guys heard it run So that's pretty cool that you know, it doesn't smoke. There's no smoke. I think sounds good. So One of them I think I am going to paint maybe this one it was like 90% red. So You know, I may repaint one of them. I don't know. We'll just have to see but I kind of like Like to see that old junky thing sitting around just go over and pull the cord and she fired right up So let's try it again real quick as I appreciate shea berry the myth man a legend stay tuned for the other one Stay tuned for more yard sale videos if you guys like that You seem to because I am getting about the same amount of views on no matter what I post. So So as long as I'm getting 40 views, I'm good with that. Thanks again guys. Shea berry the myth man a legend gone for now Bye-bye. Y'all have a great weekend. Appreciate you watching. Take care now
