Cub Cadet 1200 first start in years
I just bought this 1978 Cub Cadet 1200 from an estate auction. I do not know anything about the history of this tractor, but it looks like it has been sitting quite a few years. In this video, I am going to show you how to revive an old engine that has been sitting for years.

6 string cigar box guitar demo "The Edge"
มุมมอง 2978 ปีที่แล้ว
this is a demo of my latest cigar box guitar build. This guitar is acoustic-electric with a piezo disk pickup. I built it from start to finish in a single weekend. I used many common household parts in it's construction. The bridge is made from a maple cutting board that was found abandoned in an old camper. The tailpiece is a cabinet hinge, also from the same abandoned camper. It turned out ve...

1952 John Deere MT first start after carb rebuild
มุมมอง 6K10 ปีที่แล้ว
First start of my 1952 John Deere MT after having the carb rebuilt and replacing the ignition coil. The engine pulsates and backfires through the carb and exhaust. Does run ok with the choke 3/4 of the way shut. The pulsating issue started when water leaked into the fuel tank and into the carb. The issue is apparently deeper than I originally thought.

    Dam another person who just slams a battery to it without pulling spark plug and lubing dry old cylinder or doing slow hand turning the crank. I'm 80 years old and been resurecting old machines since I was a kid and ALLWAYS drain.durty old oil and all that has settled into the sump. Hand massage the motor over to break the sticky ring on the compression rings to ease it to loosen up. Also pull the starter motor off and pull all the hardened grease off the bendix and loosen all up. Then test to see if it"l turn or need brushes. If you want to rescue it be gentle. Clean and lube everything go through fuel and points and mag. Only spin it over with no spark plug to loosen all up and wake the old seals. Test torque head bolts and all else. Then spin it to look for spark. Check and set timing. Then add oil gas and choke and open throttle to see if it wants to wake up. You can literally tear up a potentially good engine by just slamming a big battery on it shocking it out of it's sleep. If it's worth restoring it's worth doing it right. Every one of the stories I see starts by just throwing a battery at it. Wrong.A stuck ring or gummed up valve stem can interfere with rotation... Just do it right. Dandahermit.

    The green in the carb is from the Ethanol in the pump gas thr previous owner used. Buy Ethanol Free gas for all your small engines. You won't need to buy any fuel stabilizer to add anymore. It won't be needed! I've been running Ethanol Free fuel in my tractors for the last 8 years and haven't rebuilt one carb since. It's worth every penny.

    Looks like seat is not very old so it must have ran in last 10 years From the looks of battery terminal I think it may have a serious electrical problem

    Interesting video but, bad filmography. You know what the viewer wants to see and you make a good effort to effort to show them but, all the moving around and trying to do things one-handed, makes for a poor viewing experience. A combination of holding the camera in hand for the detailed views and tripod mounted camera shots for everything else should work better. You're pretty good at this. Get yourself a decent tripod.

    If its back firing I bet its one of two things. Water in fuel or timing issue. Water more likely you should have air filter tube hooked up. It may be running lean if carb needs adjustment high side . We had an m model years ago dual fuel start n run on gas then switch to kerosene. Great little tractor but nothing like our B could do.

  • @thebcmillers
    @thebcmillers 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    replaced points and calibrated correctly, fixed the issues, tractor was flooding and backfiring out of the exhaust, or would die because fuel was not burning to full potential, new points that were adjusted correctly strengthened the spark tremendously... maybe check that again?

  • @johnkelly1587
    @johnkelly1587 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    maybe still a little bit of water in the tank of if it sat like that for awhile maybe rust in the tank or rust clogging up the lines.

  • @63Rebelman
    @63Rebelman 9 ปีที่แล้ว

    Most likely crossed plug wires causing the backfiring and running like crap issue.
