เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 10 เม.ย. 2011
Hi, welcome to my channel.
I have been fixing things for as long as I can remember, I will be releasing all sorts of fix it videos (including my ongoing Audi quattro rebuild) with random videos thrown in for good measure.
So if you like restoration/fix it/rebuilds with video editing (still learning) that leaves a lot to be desired then this is the channel for you.
So please like, share, subscribe, leave a comment with your thoughts and suggestions and most of all enjoy the videos.

Sorry I haven't posted in a long time. I haven't really been feeling it with posting youtube videos, my ambition has somewhat left the building over the last few months since I got the Isuzu running..
The Isuzu is finished.

The compressor looks good, I like the pressue cutout
People who want to get rid of the ethanol from their fuel add some water and agitate the container so that the ethanol / water solution drops out to the bottom and then the pure fuel can be decanted for use in their small engines etc. where ethanol blends can be a problem with fuel lines and carburettor components . What you are trying to here is the reverse , adding , in this case methanol basically , hoping that the alcohol will mix with the water and make that result miscible with the fuel , it never will as you now know . It may allow a small amount of water in a car fuel tank easier to pass through to combustion in older carbureted cars but how it would go in a modern fuel injection system I wouldn't like to guess , or personally try .

I have one of these knocking about, are they powerful enough to run a go kart?
I don't see any reason why not, although I would use a bigger horsepower motor. Something like 6 horsepowers would be betterer.
@@MegaDirtyberty Hi yes thanks for that. I watched a few video's last night and they all have bigger horsepower, thanks for confirming.
Great work on the fuel system
Bad gas, rather fuel that has been left doesn't do any favours which is interesting as the fuel we get here in New Zealand normally doesn't do this in my experience.
Bro into some great taste only he will understand what i ment
I have not seen a guide move like that before
Likewise.
That engine is on alot of mowers in the larst 3 years its a game of luck if you buy one it will be bad or good mowers have gone up in price even a briggs will cost $700 or more one with that engine will be just under 400
Wow that’s a lot of carbon!! Looks like they never changed the oil!
Unsure if they did, what I think was happening was oil was moving past the valve guide and it's bore in the head and burning in the combustion chamber.
😮
I like your videos, it takes time to build subscribers. A service kit saves trying to find the individual parts and it great they put a quality spark plug in the kit. It runs well
It doesn't help that I have no idea how to edit no matter how much I try to learn it. I had no idea that a service kit even existed, no such thing was around years ago when I used to work in a shop doing this for a living at least not to my knowledge. I was pleasantly surprised that the spark plug was an NGK.
Donde puedo comprar ese cilindro?
Busque en Google el sitio web de Hyway o tal vez pueda encontrarlo en Ebay.
This looks like an interesting project
All the 12 volt portable compressors with tank appear to be single cylinder, I've not seen a portable 12 volt compressor with tank and twin cylinders so decided to make one.
You left the rubber cover off the stop wires
This was very interesting
Nice demonstration Mega. 👍
Thanks John, it was an idea that has been swimming around in my head for a long while.
Anytime bud and you did good. 👊🏼
Glad to see you posting Mega, the clutch set up on that strimmer was cool, I've never seen one like that before. Merry Christmas brother.
Thanks John, appreciate it. I too haven't seen a clutch like that, knowing Ryobi it will be built to a price.
Anytime and yep, very true.
Great job getting all the problems sorted, it sounds good.
Thanks, much appreciated. I still have problems, seems the battery now has decided it doesn't want to play anymore and won't start the engine and there is still some niggles.
This is a different ball game too chainsaws, well done to you.
Nicky!, how you been man?. I moved that project on and bought another project 🤣
Muito legal mesmo .
One off the best engines for this vehicle is the VW 1.9 tdi one off the best engines VW ever maid my brother who is good mechanic fitted one in Niva I used to own had it for many years before I sold it. Still miss it.
Great job getting the engine running, it starts and runs great. The wiring sounds like a difficult challange
Thanks. Getting the engine repaired and running was the easy part, Trying to figure out the wiring is another story, it's like a dark art to me.
That is a cool tool and it works really well
It certainly makes removing the injector sleeves real easy.
Great progress and I am looking forward to seeing it running. The biggest problem we noticed with Isuzu's over here was rust as they did not like the salt that is sprayed on our roads over the winter
You and me both 😆 In my town there is only a couple of roads that have salt applied, I keep off of those.
I wonder if it is what we call a Trooper over here. We do not see many over here now due to rust. It looks like a cool project
Yes, these Isuzu's are called Troopers, Jackaroos, Monterey etc.
I just check a cylinder to see if the exhaust and transfer ports are properly broken off, so it will not hang a ring and if the cylinder has a good hash in it to help seat the rings. In earlier times I had to break the edges of the ports with my Dremel, but recent cylinders from Farmertec have nicely broken ports and have a good has in the cylinder. All I do now is throw them in my ultra sonic cleaner with a little Dawn to remove any material left over from the manufacturing process. I then blow them off, dry them, put a little oil in the cylinder and put them on the piston and saw with a base gasket and some 1184.
I rebuilt a MS 260 this past winter and used the Farmertec cylinder and piston set. Have not had any problem with it, as yet. It was a Nikasil cylinder. If I have any problems with this cylinder I may consider HyWay but at about three times the cost of the Farmertec it is something to consider.
Dónde puedo comprar el cilindro farmertec?
Circlips have only given me a problem when I was sloppy getting them in their grooves in the piston, especially on the intake side, which is why I always put the intake circlip in first. I have developed a procedure to make sure both circlips are in their groove and retained by the wrist pin. The wrist pin has beveled ends and the circlip is retained under these bevels. I take an old wrist pin and insert it in the piston so it is up against the end of the new wrist pin and circlip. I then tap it a couple of times with a small hammer. Then,I do the other end of the new wrist pin the same way. If the circlips were not under the end of the bevels they will be after this procedure. I have not lost a circlip since I started using this procedure.
I must try that, thanks for the tip.
Use that cheap garbage yellow fuel and you will be replacing it again within 3 months or sooner . The original fuel lines on the Husqvarnas are made of rubber, not that rubbish.
As it happens i didn't replace the line with "that rubbish".
That is a cool little compressor, perfect for times when you don't need a big compressor, we should get one for that reason
It means I don't need to start my big compressor just for one little carburetor. I think the maximum pressure this one produces is something like 90psi which is more than sufficient for carb work.
Those machines look they have been outside unused for a few years and I think they will need a lot of work. It will be good to see how you progress with these
Yes they have been, unsure why they were pulled to bits. The Husqvarna appears to be all there minus the mower deck, the White appears to be all there so they are good candidates to get running again.
Teth for timing belt😊
You're welcome.
This is so cool. I need to do this to mine! A 1.9 jtd engine?
That is a cool old engine. Great work and I am looking forward to hearing it run
Yes good engines, they go forever if looked after.
Nice work Mega!
Thanks Ken, appreciate it.
You'll have that booger up and running in no time Mega, nice video brother. 🙂👍
Already have ;)
When I have time,I'll watch more.
Hyway one of the best for aftermarket but always a loss of power compared to oem. But it works as I've used it!
Does it fit on the standard 1.7i mounting points? If it does it's a winner!
Yes, the Niva I fitted it to was a 1.6, afaia the 1.6 through to the 1.7i is the same. You can use the Niva gearbox but have to use the Niva flywheel (and drill the bolt holes to a bigger size, 12mm iirc) and clutch and cut a notch at the top of the bellhousing for the bolt on plate at the back of the engine. You can also use the longer Fiat "ZF" gearbox and it's flywheel/clutch but will have to somehow shorten the gearbox/transfer case so it fits into the standard Niva transmission tunnel.
Additionally, I made a different exhaust manifold to move the turbo, the original exhaust manifold had the turbo sitting where the Niva engine mount was (being as the engine I used came from a fwd car). I also remade the inlet manifold as it interfered with the brake booster

I have to rebuild mine over the winter,just going to use new chrome liners, machine shop want 1200$ to machine block for cast iron ones,it's just wood and river beater ,that head will come up good...They use a Subaru hybrid iHi turbo on some of them..I did not know about the valve size either!

Nice just got one of these going to restore it after 10 years non runner
They are a nice power unit. You could call this one an "oily rag" restoration.

Good to have you on board.
@@MegaDirtyberty I'm interested in lots of things in Australia especially mining opal and gold nuggets👍its great to be able to chat with someone that far away. So cool.
This is an interesting kit and as you said, it is well packaged. The cylinder looks great. The installation will be interesting
Thanks GTB, there are a few things I don't like on it.
So far so good Mega, looking forward to the next installment brother. 👍
Thanks John, between having trouble with a HDD and my health I don't know when I will be doing a follow up video.
Hope you get better soon brother, I'll still be here (God willing) whenever you feel well enough for the next one. 😌
Is that saw really that hard to pull over? My goodness I got the same saw and it is not that hard never was.
The 345 has a decompression valve. I didn't see this guy didn't push it in to start it, hence why he was struggling to pull start it.
@@bruceernst5000 345 do have a decomp valve but never has to be used. It’s a small saw and doesn’t need it.
I'm working on a 60something cc 6.5 amp generator. I think I'm either going to have to rebuild the carb or just buy a new one. Its been a pain in the ass. Any tips on working on these 2 stroke engines? I've pulled the carp apart cleaned all components pulled the needle and the float off and there were tons of either rust or carbon build up. Cleaned it all up made sure that the parts would fit back and the needle still sticks a little bit. But the carb still has flow from the gas inlet to the needle. Still cant get it to run without some sort of starting lubricant. push it in the carb for about 2 seconds. It will start. Idle for about 3 seconds then try to die again. Fuel lines are clean, fuel switch clean, brand new tank. Only thing I could think of is something in the carburetor
Sounds like you still have gunk in the carb, the needle sticking won't be helping either, try to get the needle valve to move freely, if not get a new one. The sticking needle valve won't be allowing any fuel into the carb bowl (if it sticks closed). Some carbs have a removable needle valve seat so check that as well.
@@MegaDirtyberty thanks for the tips. I got the needle and the float moving freely. But now the float won’t float in the fuel and force the needle to stop the gas flow and the carb overflows. I think I’m going to just buy a new one to put on. And rebuild this one for a different project.
@@KrisInEastTn Sounds like the float has a pin hole in it somewhere, Yes buy a new carb and rebuild the old one at your leisure.
Don't you just hate when that happens, good job though, she sounds great Mega. 👍
Yep but I worked out what was wrong off camera (took a good couple hours), lots of taking the cover off and on and it's all fixed.
Good job brother, determination pays off.
Great job getting it rebuilt and running
Thanks GTB :)
