@jodiewarfield4223 can't remember his name but he did give it a good whack. Not a pick on the original however. But still, not a bad version

@@alexhickey5633 if you want to hear an amazing and hilarious cover look up Venture Bros version. I listen to it every Christmas for shits and giggles.

Shane would love it, he actually hated this song:)

It's Charles Hendy from the Mary wallopers I think...

That man can't sing

@@simone1997ita a good machine too

Thats odd. These things are a bit easier to pull than the old flatheads i recon. This one is anyway, my mother can even start it. I think yours is either due a valve adjustment or maybe a decompression valve. Theyre a very strange engine. Also check your engine brake as ive come across some that delaminated the friction material and wedged it against the flywheel. Mine has had the full safety delete treatment

Plenty loud thats for sure. The video doesnt really capture the true exhaust note of these beasts, especially with it reverberating off the house about 10 to 20 meters away

Many thanks! Stole this one from a gent in a pub session a little over a year ago by the name of Dan Duffy. Great banjo player. He doesnt even know the names of the first 4 tunes and to be quite honest hes the kind of chap who could have thrown random parts of tunes together and made a set out of it. If ever youre in larkins in athlunkard of a wednesday night theres a high chance youll see him

Thanks Shane! Glad you enjoyed

Thats for sure. This one is rough. An experiment at best. It needs a lot more work to make it into a machine that can be used properly. As it stands, it can only be run for a maximum of 2 minutes as the engine will overheat due to a complete lack of cooling

It does be fairly good at that. Tallest stuff ive cut with it was 3 foot tall, and i have yet to find something taller to really test it

@@alexhickey5633 that's awesome how many horsepower is that engine? Looks like an older '70s Briggs those things even at 3 horsepower still seemed to have more power than today's engines for some reason.

@@ils360 rated for 5hp at 3600 rpm. 206cc like the horizontal shaft 5hp flatheads just leaned on its side. The old 3hp flatheads were 127cc. And the 3.5hp classics were 148. A sizeable enough engine and torquey too which is why they seem to lug down a lot better than the modern 4.5hp ohv engines. A lot of those are only 125cc. In applications like mowers, and being naturally aspirated with a carburettor, limited valve opening duration, lower compression ratios, set ignition timing, and just overall basicness, there really is no replacement for displacement

@@ils360 btw brutus's engine is from 1988, one of the later vertical shaft big block 5hp ones. The series started back in the early 1970s and never changed much. Not sure when they discontinued this engine but id imagine it was whenever they brought out the 190cc quantum series

@@alexhickey5633 correct me if I'm wrong but isn't Brutus built by Briggs & Stratton?

Yep thats the one. Big block 5hp briggs slinging an 18 inch blade like nobodys business

Ah, busy out now to tell you the truth. Very little time to be making videos or relaxing

Thanks Shane!

Many thanks Shane

I do i think. It was learned by ear from an old tape recorder

@@alexhickey5633 I CAN,T FIND THE FIRST PART ON TH-cam .

Ignition parts for these are not cheap or easy to come by, likewise with most parts on the L65. They are a showpiece nowadays. In terms of a carburettor, one from a homelite super xl will work. The adjustment screws are long however so youll need to cut them to length and slot the ends. Welcome to vintage chainsaw collecting!
