@rolaki Split rims are a lot easier to work with than one piece. The only drawback is that you will want to use tubes. Nothing wrong with tubes outside of having to buy them. You can get a good deal on Amazon for them. 🙂

@ getting the rusty nuts off is pretty challenging. I need to check for leaks too. It’s definitely a project. Cleaned out clogged carburetor jets last weekend. Thanks

@rolaki if you have a dremel, slice the nuts on the side, not too deep, a small slice takes tension off, and they come off a little easier. It doesn't need to be sliced across the entire nut to loosen out quite a bit. I go through that a *lot*. 🙂

I haven't, but it makes sense that it should work. You might need to pull out a few times to get it running, depending on how clean the carb and plug are

It's a temporary step to buy you time before neutralizing the vinegar with baking soda and water. It will mist pretty well when you spray it inside the tank and find corners and whatnot pretty easily.

Feels like a lot of people have gotten away with it. It seems like it would *usually* work(usually)

@GuysPlayingWithTools Exactly 💯

Give it a run, if it doesn't work, call me. 😁

It had a little has with no 2 stroke fuel that i could see. I think he tried, but it might have been dirty fuel too

It's a whole week this time, we are off in the Caribbean for a week. Time to goof off a little. 🙂

I am wondering if being Kohler motor had anything to do with it. There is no yelling when you don't know the complete history

@@GuysPlayingWithTools Could be. I mainly ran the 301 cast iron 12 horse jobs on the Gravelys. Dad had a 7 horse on a Troy-bilt Horse tiller but it was cast iron too. My pal wit his own shop does NOT like the new ones. A pal of ours had one in a Cub with 80 hours that had a bad cam. He's replaced more that that one. Hesaid the Cubran better than new. They're not what they were.,

@@GuysPlayingWithTools Your hair will be GONE this time! And the scalpwill be floppy! Just wait!

It's always the jets 🙂

I don't know much about it, he told me the mix died it and it stopped working. It responded great to a regular tune up and carb clean. 🙂

@GuysPlayingWithTools glad you got it running again Bill 💸💸💵

@robertmailhos8159 👍 Me too

@GuysPlayingWithTools yeah buddy 😎😅 hope you have fun vacation time Bill 💸💵

@robertmailhos8159 We look forward to this trip all year 🥳

He said his kids did it so, no telling how thick it was

It's possible. You know how that works, you never get the whole story when buying one.

I see it often and it usually runs. I suppose it depends on how heavy the mix is. 👍

@GuysPlayingWithTools I have a lawn boy 2 cycle mower so I was being funny on it but I have ran it in a Briggs and Stratton it actually made it run better for some reason

I am shopping long distance this week. 😁 We are in St Lucia enjoying the sunshine. (Not looking at houses here)

I wondered about that I might have to try different mix to see where it stops

@zxc30738 Do you get any smoke at 50:1? I am not sure what he was running in this one, but you are right. It looked thick in the carb

@GuysPlayingWithTools zero smoke. I use Lucas oil semi syn. Mixed 80-85ml to 1gal of gas.

That's about 50:1. I am going to run this mower at 59:1 next week, just out of curiosity.

@GuysPlayingWithTools I'm no rocket scientist but a leaky exhaust valve and worn rings may contribute to more smoke.

@zxc30738 You are right. When they smoke, the first thing I look for is overfilled oil, then really thin oil and then the rings and valve issues. 👍

I do! 🙂

Thanks, for me, it's the only way. You never lose tools of they are always in their place.

@DarwenDigital24 Thanks, I love old Echos. They are just about bulletproof

I have thought about that one but always thought it would look like a review, and I turn down review offers from companies almost daily. I guess I could do one that includes what I look for in an ultrasonic and how to use them, and hide the brand name.(I think everyone has seen it by now though LOL) If you are getting started with one, email me at bill.cell@charter.net and I will call so we can talk about it. 🙂

I was completely sure this one was going to be a clogged screen, it had all the symptoms. I have a video on a 210 coming up. maybe next week... It is doing something I have never seen before, it runs without a primer bulb

@@GuysPlayingWithTools It just runs bvecause it knows it can. Happy weekend Will Billium! And Overseer!

@lewiemcneely9143 I guess? I have never seen anything like it. My weekend starts in Dallas and ends in St Lucia, so I am sure it will be a fun weekend. 🙂

@@GuysPlayingWithTools Gopher it, Pal! You deserve it if your supervisor says you do! I'll vote for you but I'm goofy. She'll take that into consideration I bet!

@lewiemcneely9143 She married me, she is ok with goofy. 🤣 She makes plans for the trips. I am kinda like carry on luggage

That's one of my favorites too 🙂 I grab every funny t shirt I see, it drives my wife nuts

@jerberkrell815 During break-in, it's normal. I usually run a short break in(10 or 15 minutes), then change oil and do a longer break in(1/2 hour or so) just to get the initial flakes out faster.

@GuysPlayingWithTools thx

The teeth on the pawl wear over time, eventually reaching a point where it doesn't catch very well. It's symmetrical, so you can flip it and use the other side, which still has good teeth. You are doubling the life of the pawl that way. Let me know if that makes sense of it. 👍

I do get the concept of pawl not catching and moving it out further to avoid the rounded off edges of the teeth. What I do not understand is how this makes a difference in WHEN the pawl catches, ie. at the END OF THE REEL vs catching more effectively the entire way through the movement of the hose.

@atoiler1389 gotcha. 🙂 The spring gets tighter as it gets to the end and you will get a bit of flex in the parts on 99% of them so it may work fine half way out, but not catch at all towards the end where the spring is at its tightest.

@@GuysPlayingWithToolsNw I think I understand! Thank you for your patience

@@mr1pearl Me too, but I never have one when I find a use for it. 🙄🤣

@@rk22cc Thanks. 🙂

Let's just say that if they are giving away a lot of stuff, there might be a reason. 🙄🤣

@ let’s see who decodes the clue. Not subtle.

@haneyoakie14 I won't say anything until tomorrow and wait for someone else. 😁

It was a bit crunchy 😁

It's a lot more work to rebuild and a 5 minute job to replace one. For the average guy that doesn't work on them often, it's the way to go

It's for cutting the neighbors firewood. Lol I see about one of these a year, they usually go really fast

@TheBucktrot1 I think I mentioned that you can get one at an auto parts store cheaply. I used a piece of tubing and made one by heating and crimping one end. This was done a couple of years ago, I was still learning what to include and not include in videos.

@@bigsonslawncare 🤣

The bad part is that they claim to be oem and they aren't. 🙄

Imagine that

​@Big_Johns no kidding 😅

​@GuysPlayingWithTools and that's how they get us 😂😂

For sure 😕

@@Shawnee.Hills.Small.Engine It sounded really strong, I am sure it will be gone by the weekend

I haven't used one, but I am thinking about trying this one out for fun. Maybe I will make some long-distance firewood. 🤣

@@GuysPlayingWithTools It does it very quickly!

They usually go in a day, but this one is still here. It wants me to go out and cut some branches, I guess . Lol

I love it when I get something different to play with, even if it's the same motor as a weedeater 🙂

​@GuysPlayingWithTools I agree brother 😊

It works just about every time. It's all about breaking the rust free. I hope it works for you too 👍

If it sounded that way, I am sorry. It definitely isn't intended to be. For me, people working on their own equipment are my kind of people, and I feel like I am talking to friends when I do videos.

I use 10 to 20% Pine Sol, and the rest is plain tap water. It's got a lot of positives, cleans well, makes the shop smell good, doesn't stain aluminum, non-flammable, less hazardous than carb cleaner, etc...

@@GuysPlayingWithTools thank you, how often do you change it out? Do you leave it in the US all the time or empty it after each use?

@NewHopeCutzandLawnCare I leave it until it's cloudy. I usually get from 3 to 8 carbs through it before changing. It depends on how good i am about cleaning the outside of the carbs before putting them in.

We can try! Start by seeing if it kicks with starter fluid. But a couple of questions first... Do you know its history? If it was yours last time it ran, that's the interesting part. If it got regular gas without oil, you would know. Did it sit for a while? Gas goes bad after a couple of months. Let me know 👍

I do a lot of go karts off camera, and I get stuck wheels all the time. I have only seen one(so far) that hammering, spraying, and the 3 jaw wouldn't budge. Hammering or in first "almost* always works. If you are anything like me, it's frustrating as $##% when you get one like that.

@@GuysPlayingWithTools My son told me to give up and he welded the old brake drum permanently ! Someone had put a 1 1/4 drum on a 1" shaft ... Soon it will be too cold and wet anyway so maybe over the winter ... I grew up in Minnesota and swore off ANY muffler work and most under-car things. SALT ! But THANKS for what you do !!

@stevejette2329 I shake my head when I see stuff like that. We are considering a move to the Midwest, probably Indiana. I decided I want a winter car that I don't mind driving on salted roads when we get whenever we end up

@@GuysPlayingWithTools hmmm .. Indiana ... ya ... There are things one could do that I did not know. Stainless bolts, routine maintenance, two cars ... OR let the garage guys do it ...

@stevejette2329 I moved from Indy to Texas around 20 years ago. When I lived there. I had a K5 that I called my 6000 pound snow mobile. 🤣

I don't see carbs with dents in them very often. People can be rough with their toys. I do get the occasional bad carb. Maybe 1 in 50. When I get one, it's just about always the fuel gaskets flipped, and you can tell because they don't prime.

I don't think it would last long. It's cooled off quite a bit, but 73 is still a bit warm for snow. 🤣

Every time I do one with the camera running, I think, "This is gonna make me look clumsy"

@@GuysPlayingWithTools yEPS

@bigsonslawncare It's one of those things I only do because it makes regular guys having a hard time getting the grommet in feel better about their struggle.

I am not sure where it came from but I always watch for suspicious Krispy Kreme glaze when I buy them. 🥰

Actually this one looks Oh so familiar also made me run out and check the trailer!!!!!!!!!

Yeah I'd hate for someone to FIND your strimmer Big Krispy. 🤣🤣

That suspicious guy hanging around your trailer at night only looks like me. I have an alibi. 🤣

If his equipment gets stolen, the police will follow the ants. 🤣

They always fight back. I am not sure hair in my eyes would help 🤣

@@GuysPlayingWithTools Not in your eyes. Flopping around in the back. Ask the statistician inside. SHE'll know!

I kinda like the hat, I usually only wear it when I am running around with the top down. I can't convince her to cut it shorter

@@GuysPlayingWithTools Well, SHE's the one with the bail money and paying the retainer to the lawyer. You iz where you iz, Pal!

@lewiemcneely9143 🤣

Thanks Larry, they really aren't as bad as people think

It was my wife's idea. 🙄 She likes it
