Simple EASY FIX for Subaru engine not turning over (Starter NOT ENGAGING)
If you go to turn your automatic car or Subaru on and the starter doesn't engage or the engine doesn't turn over, or nothing happens when you turn the key on this is probably the problem. This happens to so many older automatic cars I have owned over the years where I have to consistently do this little trick and get them to start or engage the starter.

So you are 50% correct about opening the valve….. Notice how both of your tanks have 2 DIFFERENT knobs on them…. Well that tank in the back with the rounded ish triangle shaped knob has what’s called an OPD (overflow prevention device) valve. All new tanks will have that. That device prevents the tank from being overfilled but also prevents any propane from coming out if the tank is NOT connected to anything. The tank in the front with the old hose spicket style knob does not have an OPD valve. Most propane refill places will refuse to fill that tank honestly. The old school way of weighting the tank as it’s being filled was phased out with the OPD valve. Propane will also come blasting out of that tank, even when it is not attached to anything at all, if the valve is opened. Thus making it extremely dangerous.

Crazy diyguy. Not sure what hydro transmission type you have. I have the 210-3010L type hydro. It states in service manual oil type 10w-40 or 15w-50. I hope this helps your viewers.
I bought the bike lately and I'm having a problem. I don't hear the engine rotates full cycle, this is the solution. + Can someone help me to remove the carbureter and I did not distinguish how to install the gasoline pedal cable if I put the first other cable I can't install it
The carburetor is awful to remove on these, especially with the huge dumb air box in the way. You need to remove the air box first, then all the cables going to the carbs, then loosen the hose clamps and whack on the carb rack with a rubber mallet until it gets loose. Work it out with much effort. It's tricky. Don't forget to shut off your gas and drain the carbs with the drain on the bottom.
@@crazyDIYguy I removed everything and watched the three screws that you tightened and there is one I have a crusher from these three and I tried to move the big gear with my hand and it was very heavy and it only spins to the right ➡️ Does this indicate good and I can fix it ?
@@wal8610 if it spins to the right it's loose, not good. Keep spinning it to the right until it's very tight

The grounding electrode conductor is permitted to originate at the meter, and basically all that you said was false. See NEC 250.24(A)(1) which states "The grounding electrode conductor connection shall be made at any accessible point from the load end of the overhead service conductors, service drop, underground service conductors, or service lateral to the terminal or bus to which the grounded service conductor is connected at the service disconnecting means." This means at the meter is perfectly fine.
Okay that wraps it up, fellas.
Do you have a video on the subject of grounding service equipment especially upstream and downstream of the first point of disconnect? I would like to learn once and for all. Thanks.
There are two wires running to that ground rod. I think it's the dual bond that's the problem. If you're already grounded inside then adding an additional ground outside is incorrect. The rest of what he said highlights this exact point.
@@ronaldkovacs7080 Please review NEC 250.24 for the requirements. No specific video available.
My inspectors fail us in this jurisdiction if the meter is grounded and the main disconnect is inside. Doesn't matter what the NEC they are authority having jurisdiction and they can overrule it.
Would love to see more of this. But hopefully better video! Maybe you can buy out those other neighbors sometime.
I never saw your comment, That's what I was thinking too. Just buy them out.
Not a single part of this installation would be legal in Germany …
I was waiting for you to say something and out the wires tucked in behind the gutter…
I have a Huqvarna YTH 150 that sat for a couple of years and I got it running great but grinds when the auto stick is pushed forward or reverse. I only did it a couple of times because it's not a "moan" but sounds like gears grinding. Any thoughts? Thanks!
@@bradshannon862 probably low on oil, I think all of mine have made that noise though. Maybe the viscosity has broken down over the years too and you need new oil. Might help it
Yes your meter must be grounded or bonded to a panel by way of an approved bonding means same for the main panel. All metal parts that could be potentially exposed to energized parts must be grounded all the way down to small metallic device boxes. The problem with this installation is two separate EGC connected to the ground rod. You never leave a meter ungrounded. If something happens to the neutral connection and metal parts become energized then persons or properly become a really nice potential earth ground.
So if you connect your grounding conductor to the main panel how does the meter enclosure get grounded? The code says that anything that has power in it has to be bonded to ground.
@@dandearman2871 I'm seeing my inspector this week and I'm going to ask him about your exact point you made there. I promise I'll comment what he says
In the meantime my guess would be because it's on the "line side" and not the "load side". The load side begins where the first main disconnect starts, whether that's in your meter socket or at the main panel inside (like in the video).
@@crazyDIYguy Those are just words. The electricity doesn't care what "side" it is on. Perhaps the enclosure is already internally bonded to the neutral?
Old meter that hasn't been swapped out to a smart meter yet and still requires a meter reader to get the power usage. Where is that? Most utilities are going to smart meters where they use a 900mhz signal to communicate to a grid. This reports power usage real time and also power outages real time. Rare to find one that hasn't been upgraded yet.
So are you saying don't use a ground at all? Or just ground the box (which grounds the meter socket)?
@@CubbyTech wherever your main disconnect is you ground. So in the video the main disconnect is in the basement, therefore we don't ground the meter socket. If the main disconnect was outside at the meter socket, we'd run all our grounding to those. Then we would have 4-wire "SER" feeding the breaker box from the meter base, the 4-wire ser has a ground wire so the panels would be grounded that way.
But in my exact situation in this video, the meter base isn't grounded at all. Just the breaker box in the basement, that has all the grounds going to it, from the gas, water meter, ground rods, etc. I'm going to make a more thorough video on it.
Is the problem that this property only has a relatively high-impedance earth connection that is just intended to carry enough current to trip an RCD (GFCI) and this is the wrong side of the RCD so wouldn't trip it?
@@thomasdalton1508 definitely one of the potential problems, the other main problem with grounding that specific setup are parallel paths for the neutral to travel if we grounded both meter base and main disconnect/panel inside.
@@crazyDIYguy That's only a problem if you use too thin a wire for the grounding, right? In the UK, we have minimum thickness requirements for wires that could become alternative neutrals (we mostly use TN-C-S/PME so pretty much everything can end up being a neutral path, so it is a significant concern).
So if I am seeing this video correctly the is connected both at the meter socket and going into the main breaker panel. It can be either but not both unless AHJ or utility requires one or the other. Only created neutral by grounding once.
@@SRCardow1 You can't ground only the meter, surely, or you'll have no ground for the rest of the installation?
"A lot of problems potentially" I see what you did there
Nothing crazy about this. Sorry your bud got burned.
Neutral at the top connection failed, his circuits started relying on the ground to earth (which is weak to begin with for adequate neutral). That failed quickly so it found a ground through the aluminum siding which led to the cable companies ground. Aluminum started corroding and the "substitute" neutral started arching heating up the siding. Eventually causing the wood to smolder in the wall for days without us noticing. By the time I noticed the inside of the wall was gone and glowing coals. Saved it with a chainsaw and a hose. This house in the vid is aluminum too, neutral top connections fail constantly, it would easily start arching through that meter socket, slowly heating up the siding and....
Great job. Can i ask you what gauge / thikness did you use for the sheet metsl? Thank you.

Stumbled upon this video when I was dealing with my 2005 Suzuki BLVD that has a non-rotating ignition switch right out of the blue. A dealer wanted nearly 300.00 plus 2 hrs of labour! Followed your steps and it all came out great. I was able to pull mine out with needle nose pliers- so no grinding. Put the ignition back together and voila! Thanks so much for the tip! One more tip - once you do this to your ignition, your key will very likely fall out when you are driving - so once the bike starts, take out the key and put it in your pocket! Then when you stop take it out and turn off the ignition!
@@kenbowes4130 lol thanks for the advice. That's about as far as I've gotten with that bike. It's been sitting since I've posted the video. I hope to finish it one day. I'm just so busy with other crap.

Nice
Thank you this is helpful. I got a little cabin. The previous owners just ran wires for each of the utilities. Well pump, electric water heater, and service for the lights. The only wire that was approved for ground contact with the well wire. The other ones are just regular old romex. No conduit at all. I'm going to run a wire overhead to the little cabin from the breaker box at the meter. After seeing everything that's involved for the overhead. Maybe it's not such a bad idea to dig a trench and use conduit... I really don't want to dig? I learned a lot about the hardware necessary. And the option of using a heavy gauge aluminum wire. It was especially helpful you outlined all of the hardware necessary.!
I always recommend going overhead. That way it is always accessible. Water penetrates the underground wires inevitably. Every single time.
Ha! This is exactly what I was looking for with “cheapest DYI loader” search. Gonna do something VERY similar and this is helpful! Thanks!
Thanks man !!! Just ordered mine. My mikuni has been acting up so this is perfect. Swap the jets and I’ll have original mikuni for spare parts. My whole engine is polished so this is great fit. Thanks for the tips, I even saw your Amazon review while ordering 👏

The vacuum hose from the carb where does it goes ? To the tank or manifold ? Thanks
It goes to an ignition advance module, vacuum advance module underneath the gas tank somewhere.
It's a little black thing
to sensor VOES (Vacuum-operated electric switch).
@@Magnum.318if that vacuum hose isn’t connected to the veos will the carburetor not be able to get gasoline from the tank? I can use a squirt bottle to fill my new mikuni knock off but when I use the petcock with the tank about a gallon of gas no fuel is getting to the carburetor. The engine will run fine with a squeeze bottle just dangling and not being squeezed at all. What does that switch do? What can I do to bypass it if the switch is missing? I am asking this because many years ago I had a Dyna wide glide and, I think, unless the switch had vacuum it wouldn’t get gas. Again, I think. I am not sure because it’s been a long time ago and I’m getting too old to remember shit like this
@@MicheluceRizzuto Dear friend, this system switches the ignition angle depending on the engine load, measures the vacuum after the throttle valve. If the VOES sensor is missing, the tube must be blocked. Without it, the dynamics will deteriorate, you can set the ignition to a slightly earlier flash. This is not related to the fuel supply. Perhaps you have a fuel valve installed that depends on the vacuum, it may not work correctly if the tube is open. You can try to plug the tube with a suitable bolt. And - Dyna is a great bike!
How did you get the filler plug off? Thanks
I just pulled mine off or cut the tube. Sorry I responded so late
@@crazyDIYguy No problem and thanks. I still haven't been able to get my Craftsman riding mower to move after trying everything. Porbably gonna just sell it for parts or repair.
@@slhines7 when I was filling mine I had the back jacked up, The mower was running, and I was going in forward and reverse and it would keep taking more and more oil.
I guess the keyway to the rear tires might be sheared off or missing causing the shaft to just spin inside the tire. Or it could be that rear drive belt not gripping or not on the pulley that drives the whole rear end pump
@@crazyDIYguy I double checked both keyways which are still instact. It is just locked up and won't move no matter what. Sometimes it will be free and can be pushed but never actually move when put into gears while running.
Update: I thought I posted this comment but I don't see it. My inspector made me put a ground rod in because it is a separate building. Separate buildings require their own ground rod.
I have a craftsman t2200.have mower Goin forward , ang it keeps sliding out into natural, is there an adjustment I can make
If it is like mine in this video with that forward and back handle and I was in your situation, I'd just drill a slot or a half moon type of catch for the lever shaft in forward. Other than that maybe change the fluid in the rear axle see if that helps. Maybe thicker. Might depend on fluid pressure to stay in forward and reverse position.
❤
How... how is the blade not slipping off the rounded tires when it catches a knot? (or more like when...)
It's got guides on the back of the blade, pulleys that the back of the band pushes against. The tires are tilted in a way that the band is always trying to push backwards instead of falling off forwards if you understand what I mean.
So instead of the band walking off forward, it just pushes backwards against the guides
This video helped a lot since you mentioned the machine you used and settings. A lot of the other automotive welding videos doing C-Notches or frame work don’t ever give details. Since you did say you fluxed cored the patches. What wire did you use? Thanks
Yeah I used flux core, it was e71 tgs
Look up "fish plating" and make sure you do that. It's like a diamond shaped patch on the back of your weld or on the other side of the frame that you're welding
