A friend of my dad's asked him to look at, I think, a generator with a Honda engine on it one time. The guy just couldn't figure out why it wouldn't start. Dad looked at the oil level, saw it was low and filled it up. I'll be damned if it didn't crank right up. Come to find out that they had a kill switch on the oil level. Great idea. If someone is too stupid to keep oil in it then they shouldn't be running a generator anyway. My only question is how you can tell when the sensor is busted. That could be a head scratcher.
Your actually lucky so far, I'm a diesel guy. I got fuel cans marked on the farm for everything. A few years back a guy approached my home, I am out of town stole two red jugs. Well they were diesel, gas and gorden mix for breaking down roots. I got a call at 2 a.m. from sheriff deputy. He said guy admitted stealing my cans, I was laughing as those were for mosquite roots. I go well what happened deputy say he drove a a quarter mike and his engine blew. I said return my jugs, and no paperwork but the tow...
Rock crusher operated for several seconds and both highly trained crewmembers passed their finger counts on completion of the task at hand. That's a win right there.
Wife: What did he call that guy? Me: DewClaw Wife: Why does he call him that? Me: I don't really know, but the bigger question is, why does he still call him at all?
Dewclaw. The sort of nail that dogs have above their paw which has evolved its self out of usefulness. "Unnecessary appendage" I believe is about the translation AvE's going for here.
Honestly I always thought it was mean to be Deuclaw as in two claws (fingers) like he was a really bad fabricator/machinist who shouldn't be allowed around power saws.
Because DewClaw has the sailboat, with the Grille on the stern. It sure is nice to have a friend to take you out for an afternoon sail, and cook the very tasty Hamburger, or was it BRAT's, for you, oh and even remember's to toast the bun.
i work in rental, these are everywhere. if you want it good as new, disassemble the carb all the way, put the block in some simple green for 10 min. CRC brake clean will get it the rest of the way, replace o-rings and gaskets as needed. You MAY have to replace the fuel strainer in the tank too (yes, there is a fuel strainer in the tank) but usually you can get one back up and running (like new mind) for like 20 bucks.
I stored my solvent in a gas can, my landlord came in to steal some fuel thinking he'd replace it when he got a chance. Put it in his brand new john deere lawn mower. Then we had a long argument who's gonna pay for the engine. Which i wouldnt do, he ordered one and I installed it for free. I think it was like $1700. I always pour stuff into a glass to inspect it first.
"Warn me when you start to feel sleepy" Dude, I changed shops and now I'm in a shop with 1 door per bay, and I like to leave my bay doors open, because sometimes I have to run the cars inside. But some people don't like the freezing 65° temp, so they're always shutting the doors when I walk away. Sometimes I just leave an running even if I dont have to, just to make them think twice about shutting my fucking doors. I took the far end of the shop for a reason, leave my doors alone.
I'd like to see that little cone fully choked with product and see how she goes. I wonder if you could put a decent hopper on it and choke feed it a barrow or so. The vibration would probably keep it feeding as long as it's not wet. Hope to see a video 👍 might look for one or some thing similar. Cool bit of kit
Jacob Audrey I didn’t know they made them that long! My dad is in construction and I remember a client of ours had a really cool Honda lawn tractor and I believe it had a straight 2 diesel but I think was this www.tractordata.com/lawn-tractors/000/6/6/669-honda-h6522.html. And ironically too is that he uses diesel on concrete forms and at one point the yellow cans were non existent so it was put in red cans but I don’t recall any issues.
When I was a kid my dad had his own in ground gas and diesel tanks. He had 70's vintage rv with a gas motor. I was given the task of gassing her up prior to a trip. Well, I grabbed the wrong nozzle and put 1/2 tank of diesel in before I noticed. Long story short I told him what I did and he filled it the rest of the way with gas. We took it on our trip and the hesitation and backfire it had since he bought it magically disappeared. Another time I put gas in a diesel tractor. I siphoned as much out as I could but not enough to prevent the fuel filter from gelling. I claimed no knowledge that time.
Reminds me of working with my father. Fun fact: a chainsaw will run on kerosene pretty well, and a Honda 5hp pressure washer will run if it's started on gas. No power though. Guess how I know. At least the old Robin won't get any rust on the internals...
A couple years ago I finally gave up on the "I'll remember" method and invested in a couple sharpies for the jugs full of used oil and the gas/oil mix cans. But not before I messed up 2 or 3 dozen times, of course.
Working in kitchens has made me a label freak. You never know which brown sauce is which and how many days weeks or months it's been sitting there and whether it is supposed to be a brown-and-green sauce or not until you have the habit of naming and dating everything.

@Paul J Pachasa JR I'd just run 40:1 in it all. My trimmer says 50:1, but it runs just fine on the 36:1 dirtbike leftovers. Then again all the bikes get Castrol 2t at 36:1 whether they ask for it or not.
I've had problems starting these Honda engines even when the gasoline is a bit stale. After much cranking, troubleshooting and cussing, I found a fresh tank of gas fixes 'em every time. Using diesel fuel will definitely cause hard starting. As Madprop Boatworks said, "If a Honda engine doesn't start, it's definitely operator error". How true!
One day my brother asked me to look at his car. It was blowing smoke like crazy out the exhaust, wouldn't idle, misfiring and running like hell. I don't have time for his mess, never did look at it for him. Months later my bro and I are going to cut wood for our parents, and I comment to him that's odd, both my saw gas and bar oil(stored in a gas can, hehe) cans are empty. We share a look, him wide eyed, "there was bar oil in that can!?" Yes, dear brother, there was, and now I know where it went.
I know this probably wont get read but honestly man, your videos helped me through a hard time in my life. Your videos just always bring a smile to my face. All I have to say is keep up the great work and thanks for all the laughs.👍
That's why I give every fuel container a quick sniff test before I start pouring. Saved me a lot of grief when I grabbed a gas can labeled "regular" in a garage at work, that turned out to be full of water.

this reminds me of a time in high school where one of my classmates found a one of those crotch rockets or mini bikes(49cc) next to the garbage, he took it to the high school automotive classroom which also had a small engine room and tried to get it to run he stole some fuel from one of the bikes there but he chose the only diesel bike to steal from later on he sold the bike to me for 10 dollars. i went and got some proper fuel and it started on the 3rd pull.
I've got one of those Subaru Wisconsin-Robin motors in a minibike, came from an off-grid backup generator. It's an olive coloured industrial unit with the heavy duty air filter but looks just yours, EY15 is familiar, model is W1-145 I think... Couldn't get the jeezless thing to run either. Eventually found out the petcock was the issue, so it was promptly neutered and replaced with the finest quality chinesium dingus in a thread that was close enough. Things been running great for a few years now, even through many hours with definitely not enough oil, no governor, the remaining coarse wire screen of the filter and a 200lb gorilla at the controls.
That's as good as a guy nicking my round 5 gallon can of used acetone and dumping in his car... How do I know this... the guy was my little brother. He knew I had a couple of round cans I used for gas... what he didn't know is I switched to the GI jeep cans... so the round cans use changed. I thing I found where my gas stash had been going. For some reason his car died in the middle of the night... I wonder if the polyester resin in the acetone had anything to do with it...
Hey, it's the old Honda GX160 ! They use those on go-karts, besides the generic generator functions it's used for. 1 GX160 or GX200 on a rental. Twin GX160's on a Pro-kart, or a GX390 on an 'Evo'. I used to be an official (dude with yellow flag) with the national pro-karting championship, which were endurance races. The shortest race in the season was 6 hours, the longest was 11. 11 f*cking hours in the f*cking rain with 50-something go-karts doing over 550 laps, all of them with the same twin-engined generator drone. All I remember of those days is burrowing deep inside a bright yellow raincoat, and that drone. And that time they ran me over ...
There once was a man from Nantucket. Who put the wrong fuel in the bucket. Along came his friend with a vice in his hand, and he said "To get that out you'll have to suck it!"
Reminds me of my late teen years when I worked at a full service gas station... not sure if this is just a Northern Ontario thing but a lot of people around here either don't know what full serve means or just can't wait 2 minutes for an attendant to serve ya. At least once a week (almost always a woman driving her husbands diesel truck) you would catch someone putting gas in a diesel truck. Fun times.
Did the same. Someone put diesel in a 5 gal gas can. I added 3 to my 36” proline toro. Had 2 gal gas in it. It ran, kinda funky but why the hell was the exhaust burning my eyes? Cleaned the carb and new fuel filter. Gas in a diesel obviously a major problem
Maybe I just have the nose of a bloodhound, but I'd pick up that diesel can and know it wasn't gas in a second. The stank of diesel hits me right in the feels every time.

Back in college I lived in a semi-crappy neighborhood in Phoenix, AZ. For economy and to make sure I was never distracted by attractive females trying to talk to me during my crucial time of studious concentration, I replaced my big block Impala with a diesel Rabbit. Awesome. But it got almost 50mpg....until some fool boosted the pump. Then it went slightly faster but now only got 42mpg. One day I was headed out the door to get to school, I see my fuel door open and cap dangling. Some cocklick had siphoned bout 5 gallons of diesel leaving me bone dry. I had to enlist the neighbor for a ride to the fuel emporium for a few gallons to get to school. That evening when I returned home with a full tank and a locking cap, the same neighbor who sponsored a lift to the pumps, a shade tree mechanic and close personal friend of mine, summoned me to his home shop. There resided a 1975 Monte Carlo. Hood up. Air cleaner on the fender, float bowl on the bench. He hand me the bowl.....says "SMELL IT!"...... I whiff......diesel. We located the fool who purloined my fuel oils. No one said anything to him. The car suffered all manner of little calamities one night. Tires slashed. More diesel in the tank. It's not hard to pull the remote cable on the hood and fill a crank case full of brake dust as collected from doing drum bakes on trucks. Locks shot full of glue. Main harness cut into more convenient sections. That 5 gallons of diesel cost that kid a lot of money.
rmp5s Customer brought in a early 00s Gallant that died while driving. Fuel gauge said 1/4 full. Hooked up the fuel pressure gauge: 0 psi. “Ok, 95% chance the fuel pump is dead.”. I pull the pump out out of the tank....tank is bone dry. The gauge in the instrument cluster had broken.
@@300DBenz Ha! Yup! That'll do it every time. My first car, a 1986 300ZX, would die if the gas was low and you were sideways on an incline. I was in my buddy's steep driveway once...started the car facing up the incline, no problem...but when I backed up and went to my right to turn around, it died. "Gimme a push!" Pushed it and as soon as it was facing down the hill, it cranked right up and off I went. Sometimes you just gotta know your car! lol
You got away with hardly any smoke when she fired back up. I helped a friend get his Honda Accord going again after another friend put diesel in it. When it started back up the tailpipe spewed out a solid stream of grey smoke. It looked like grey water coming out of a garden hose. Fortunately we were outside.
Yeah, this happens. Did this as an apprentice with a mower. Took 3 other seasoned mechanics to figure it out, one smelling the fuel so hard from his hand he was basically snorting it. What you get with diesel mechanics, at some point all fuels start to smell the same?
Great video, Love the rock crusher. That's Bad-Ass.!! 😎. Restore her and paint it Detroit Diesel Green, Cast Iron Gray or Machine Gray. Always, always sniff the fumes of any flammable liquids before using....if not to confirm the correct contents, then at least to get a bit of a buzz going before you start the motor. I would show Mr "Wet Nails" or "Dew to the Paw Claw" that gasoline doesn't smell like diesel. Then there's always the match demostrato.🤔
I've perpetrated and been the victim of some gas can misappropriation. Diesel, kerosene, methanol, used engine oil, 2-cycle mix marked "gas only". Coolant and/or water. Used oil in the hydraulic fluid buckets, too, when you need to mix things up. I swear one day I'll open the cap and get sand. Surplus olive drab Jerry cans for everything. Dispenses any illusion of certainty or reasonable expectation.
fuel cans are color coded for a reason, Yellow - diesel, Red - gas, Blue - kerosene. If you are going to fill the containers with different fuels at least put a label on it.
Been there, done that... just with antifreeze. One spring I went to start a lawnmower that was shared with some other people, it was making a truly terrible smell and running really badly, had a peak in the fuel tank and there was a blue liquid sitting at the bottom. No idea how, but it had been filled up with antifreeze. Drained that into a very old and clearly labelled petrol can, 'old, don't use'. Months later I needed some fuel for the car, grabbed a full new can out the shed, emptied it in, only realised at the end that some genius had swapped the antifreeze/stoneage fuel mix into a good can. It was an interesting drive into town to get more actual fuel...
My dad was given a mini snowblower, happy he got in the truck and got som clean fuel, because he had only premix at home. It purred like a kitten..... till it seized....after about a minute. It was a 2 smoke. RTFM!
Some things that also have a bad result: 1. Don't mix up brake fluid and anti-freeze. The brakes don't work very well after that. 2. Someone trying to steal diesel from a RV - but did suck the contents from the septic tank instead.
neodymium magnets dropped into the metal fuel tanks will collect an amazing amount of rust.. keeping it out of the fuel filter and needle and seat.. if it has a plastic fuel tank.. put one inside and one outside to hold each other in place with a dab of silicone under the outside one to keep it from being brushed off. oh.. the neodymium magnets work in both Diesel or Gasolina. they don't frigging care which one they pull Red dUST out of. i usually use magnets with a hole in the middle to make it easy to push around. i have stuck float arms to the bottom of tanks before with them.
Nice little cone crusher👍 Where I worked before we had a cone crusher as a secondary crusher, after an old jaw crusher from West Germany. B That was before a new crusher plant was built with 2 drum crushers that made the cone crusher reduntant.
always mark your containers...is this diesel? 2-cycle? 112 race gas? av fuel? even in a temporary situation it'll always help you in the end to mark things.
No teardown video of the motor or the rock crushing apparatus? What ever happened with the diesel generator and it's bearings? Maybe Dewclaws keep away from the infernal combustion motors
Another version that I've experienced is a used 2ltr lemonade bottle being kept in a car as windscreen wash/coolant top-up, but with the label fully intact. Enter a family holiday scenario where we each help to unload our respective cars, followed by me deciding to try the lemonade in the fridge mixed with some orange juice. The cloudiness was hidden by the orange juice, but multiple checks on whether there had been a sewage leak somewhere nearby before realising that the 'lemonade' that I was drinking had been rolling around in a car for the better part of 2 years.......if the label was removed it would have been simple logic as to what it was, but a fully intact bottle label (with good pressure when squeezed!) meant that it ended up living in the fridge at the holiday house and ultimately in my glass!
Oh we've all been there I think my favorite was when one of the guys at the shop filled a bunch of antifreeze container is up with green diesel and of course the semi was low on coolant and I put it in the radiator and then realized something didn't smell right and ended up having to do a full coolant flush because some dumb-ass decided to put diesel in an antifreeze container
Don't use windshield wash bottles for premixin the 2-stroke either. My wife's windshield washers have never been the same.
Lol turn the sprayer nozzles to the sides and then you have an oil slick dropping death race car or something

Diesel in the Crank Case, Oil in the Fuel Tank. She'll run backwards, what for gettin' your rocks back out of the hopper.

Colors & textures, too. Diesel is somewhat bluish-green and has that "slimy" feel.

Dad looked at the oil level, saw it was low and filled it up. I'll be damned if it didn't crank right up. Come to find out that they had a kill switch on the oil level. Great idea. If someone is too stupid to keep oil in it then they shouldn't be running a generator anyway. My only question is how you can tell when the sensor is busted. That could be a head scratcher.
I bought a single stage Honda snowblower on Craigslist. "Won't run." They didn't have gas in it.
Cory Stansbury Well they didn’t lie
Unless you have 1 of the new motors smaller rings.
And a float carbie on there wacker packer motors my whole worlds collapsing
Your actually lucky so far, I'm a diesel guy. I got fuel cans marked on the farm for everything. A few years back a guy approached my home, I am out of town stole two red jugs. Well they were diesel, gas and gorden mix for breaking down roots. I got a call at 2 a.m. from sheriff deputy. He said guy admitted stealing my cans, I was laughing as those were for mosquite roots. I go well what happened deputy say he drove a a quarter mike and his engine blew. I said return my jugs, and no paperwork but the tow...
Rock crusher operated for several seconds and both highly trained crewmembers passed their finger counts on completion of the task at hand.
That's a win right there.
Wife: What did he call that guy?
Me: DewClaw
Wife: Why does he call him that?
Me: I don't really know, but the bigger question is, why does he still call him at all?
Dewclaw. The sort of nail that dogs have above their paw which has evolved its self out of usefulness. "Unnecessary appendage" I believe is about the translation AvE's going for here.
Honestly I always thought it was mean to be Deuclaw as in two claws (fingers) like he was a really bad fabricator/machinist who shouldn't be allowed around power saws.
He's probably Québécoise. Duclois - dewclaw

Because DewClaw has the sailboat, with the Grille on the stern. It sure is nice to have a friend to take you out for an afternoon sail, and cook the very tasty Hamburger, or was it BRAT's, for you, oh and even remember's to toast the bun.
i work in rental, these are everywhere. if you want it good as new, disassemble the carb all the way, put the block in some simple green for 10 min. CRC brake clean will get it the rest of the way, replace o-rings and gaskets as needed. You MAY have to replace the fuel strainer in the tank too (yes, there is a fuel strainer in the tank) but usually you can get one back up and running (like new mind) for like 20 bucks.
I had someone stealing my mower gas once, so I left my chainsaw gas out for them to get.
Was mighty easy to see exactly who was doing it.
You took it easy on them!
Dewclaw needs to stop double dipping the glaucoma medication!
Still not quite right after that drum circle incident
stanley kendziorski me thinks he’s bin double dipping more than Glaucoma meds
Does "glaucoma medication" keep you up for days on end, like when "crushing rocks". Charlie sheen style.
I stored my solvent in a gas can, my landlord came in to steal some fuel thinking he'd replace it when he got a chance. Put it in his brand new john deere lawn mower. Then we had a long argument who's gonna pay for the engine. Which i wouldnt do, he ordered one and I installed it for free. I think it was like $1700. I always pour stuff into a glass to inspect it first.
I was curious that the 'Diesel' generator appeared to have a spark plug.
Some diesels have a glow plug for easier starts, so that can be an operator-deceptor right there.
I know what a glow plugs is, but didn't expect to see one on a single cylinder engine like this. And it still looked like a spark plug to me.
Especially as it was pull start. Probably not getting much glow there. But while I know how to pull, I'm no diesel expert.
@@Bradimus1 watch the video a couple more times. Youll figure it out eventually.
Do I seem like I'm still confused?
"Warn me when you start to feel sleepy"
Dude, I changed shops and now I'm in a shop with 1 door per bay, and I like to leave my bay doors open, because sometimes I have to run the cars inside.
But some people don't like the freezing 65° temp, so they're always shutting the doors when I walk away.
Sometimes I just leave an running even if I dont have to, just to make them think twice about shutting my fucking doors. I took the far end of the shop for a reason, leave my doors alone.
Sometimes being the lone tech at a two man shop has its benefits...mainly shit like that.
Legend has it that AvE and Dewclaw found more gold while watching this video than the Hoffmans ever found on all their seasons of Gold Rush.
I'd like to see that little cone fully choked with product and see how she goes. I wonder if you could put a decent hopper on it and choke feed it a barrow or so. The vibration would probably keep it feeding as long as it's not wet. Hope to see a video 👍 might look for one or some thing similar.
Cool bit of kit
Reading the title I was like, "WTF, Honda makes a diesel engine?"
They actually did make single-cylinder diesel engines until maybe 2010. But this clearly ain't one.
th-cam.com/video/kXff7Lxsuzc/w-d-xo.html
Agreed, and disappointed. The diesel honda dream
They do, they even make diesel civics and crvs now
Jacob Audrey I didn’t know they made them that long! My dad is in construction and I remember a client of ours had a really cool Honda lawn tractor and I believe it had a straight 2 diesel but I think was this www.tractordata.com/lawn-tractors/000/6/6/669-honda-h6522.html. And ironically too is that he uses diesel on concrete forms and at one point the yellow cans were non existent so it was put in red cans but I don’t recall any issues.
Time to put up those funny signs. "Do not dumb here, no dumb area" and "Not to be operated by f***wits" 😂👍
Dewclaw needs his smellometer checked.
First thing I thought was how he couldn't smell the difference right off the bat.
When I was a kid my dad had his own in ground gas and diesel tanks. He had 70's vintage rv with a gas motor. I was given the task of gassing her up prior to a trip. Well, I grabbed the wrong nozzle and put 1/2 tank of diesel in before I noticed. Long story short I told him what I did and he filled it the rest of the way with gas. We took it on our trip and the hesitation and backfire it had since he bought it magically disappeared. Another time I put gas in a diesel tractor. I siphoned as much out as I could but not enough to prevent the fuel filter from gelling. I claimed no knowledge that time.
Reminds me of working with my father. Fun fact: a chainsaw will run on kerosene pretty well, and a Honda 5hp pressure washer will run if it's started on gas. No power though. Guess how I know. At least the old Robin won't get any rust on the internals...
A couple years ago I finally gave up on the "I'll remember" method and invested in a couple sharpies for the jugs full of used oil and the gas/oil mix cans. But not before I messed up 2 or 3 dozen times, of course.
Working in kitchens has made me a label freak. You never know which brown sauce is which and how many days weeks or months it's been sitting there and whether it is supposed to be a brown-and-green sauce or not until you have the habit of naming and dating everything.
Same applies to the shop though tasting for freshness is less of an option.
In my experience the sharpie quickly fades on a gas can
@@zeusapollo8688 : Then go with a wood burner and cheapo wood tags. Piece of twine to hold it to the bottle, and you're good to go.
Until you need it of course, at which point you discover the grease and dirt and occasional hotplate incident have turned the whole thing that same color...
@Paul J Pachasa JR Just do 32:1 and carry a spare plug, like in the days of yore. 👌
@Paul J Pachasa JR I'd just run 40:1 in it all. My trimmer says 50:1, but it runs just fine on the 36:1 dirtbike leftovers.
Then again all the bikes get Castrol 2t at 36:1 whether they ask for it or not.
I've had problems starting these Honda engines even when the gasoline is a bit stale. After much cranking, troubleshooting and cussing, I found a fresh tank of gas fixes 'em every time. Using diesel fuel will definitely cause hard starting. As Madprop Boatworks said, "If a Honda engine doesn't start, it's definitely operator error". How true!
Ok thats a cool rock crusher, ive been thinking of making a jaw-style one for crunching concrete into gravel for driveway.
One day my brother asked me to look at his car. It was blowing smoke like crazy out the exhaust, wouldn't idle, misfiring and running like hell. I don't have time for his mess, never did look at it for him. Months later my bro and I are going to cut wood for our parents, and I comment to him that's odd, both my saw gas and bar oil(stored in a gas can, hehe) cans are empty. We share a look, him wide eyed, "there was bar oil in that can!?"
Yes, dear brother, there was, and now I know where it went.
That is hilarious shit. The Honda's a nice motor, though, and now he's got a backup!
I know this probably wont get read but honestly man, your videos helped me through a hard time in my life. Your videos just always bring a smile to my face. All I have to say is keep up the great work and thanks for all the laughs.👍
That's why I give every fuel container a quick sniff test before I start pouring. Saved me a lot of grief when I grabbed a gas can labeled "regular" in a garage at work, that turned out to be full of water.
Hi, I started watching your films about 1 month ago and I love it. You have one of the best qualitty that human can have - honesty. That's why I would like to seek help here. I want to buy a hammer drill for a home use. But I keep wandering what to choose. Makita XHP07 or Dewalt DCD996. What in your opinion is more durable? And of course, thank you for the next dose of knowledge.
this reminds me of a time in high school where one of my classmates found a one of those crotch rockets or mini bikes(49cc) next to the garbage, he took it to the high school automotive classroom which also had a small engine room and tried to get it to run he stole some fuel from one of the bikes there but he chose the only diesel bike to steal from later on he sold the bike to me for 10 dollars. i went and got some proper fuel and it started on the 3rd pull.
Lol I see about ten msha violations in this video alone. Nicely done AvE, you and dewclaw officially miners!
I've got one of those Subaru Wisconsin-Robin motors in a minibike, came from an off-grid backup generator. It's an olive coloured industrial unit with the heavy duty air filter but looks just yours, EY15 is familiar, model is W1-145 I think... Couldn't get the jeezless thing to run either. Eventually found out the petcock was the issue, so it was promptly neutered and replaced with the finest quality chinesium dingus in a thread that was close enough.
Things been running great for a few years now, even through many hours with definitely not enough oil, no governor, the remaining coarse wire screen of the filter and a 200lb gorilla at the controls.
I did that one time to a car. Not enough diesel to stop it but enough to make it run rough. Keep an eye on Dewclaw.
That's as good as a guy nicking my round 5 gallon can of used acetone and dumping in his car...
How do I know this... the guy was my little brother. He knew I had a couple of round cans I used for gas... what he didn't know is I switched to the GI jeep cans... so the round cans use changed. I thing I found where my gas stash had been going.
For some reason his car died in the middle of the night... I wonder if the polyester resin in the acetone had anything to do with it...
"Just warn me when you start to feel sleepy" this guy is comedy gold.
Hey, it's the old Honda GX160 ! They use those on go-karts, besides the generic generator functions it's used for. 1 GX160 or GX200 on a rental. Twin GX160's on a Pro-kart, or a GX390 on an 'Evo'. I used to be an official (dude with yellow flag) with the national pro-karting championship, which were endurance races. The shortest race in the season was 6 hours, the longest was 11. 11 f*cking hours in the f*cking rain with 50-something go-karts doing over 550 laps, all of them with the same twin-engined generator drone. All I remember of those days is burrowing deep inside a bright yellow raincoat, and that drone. And that time they ran me over ...
There once was a man from Nantucket. Who put the wrong fuel in the bucket. Along came his friend with a vice in his hand, and he said "To get that out you'll have to suck it!"
Reminds me of my late teen years when I worked at a full service gas station... not sure if this is just a Northern Ontario thing but a lot of people around here either don't know what full serve means or just can't wait 2 minutes for an attendant to serve ya. At least once a week (almost always a woman driving her husbands diesel truck) you would catch someone putting gas in a diesel truck. Fun times.
Did the same. Someone put diesel in a 5 gal gas can. I added 3 to my 36” proline toro. Had 2 gal gas in it. It ran, kinda funky but why the hell was the exhaust burning my eyes? Cleaned the carb and new fuel filter. Gas in a diesel obviously a major problem
Maybe I just have the nose of a bloodhound, but I'd pick up that diesel can and know it wasn't gas in a second. The stank of diesel hits me right in the feels every time.
Just remember, when manning an OP in the sticks.... remember to label one Jerry can “water” and the other “piss”...
@TerraTN the shuttle used to jettison piss. The ISS tho, "Today's coffee is tomorrow's coffee!"
【Chucklebutt】 ʘ‿ʘ Apollo did too. One time they used a star for navigation, then realized it was a drop of urine. From then on, they joked about “the constellation Ur-ine”!
The dewclaw has a broken sniffer... Can't tell the difference between spark requisite and compression only go juice... How many times have you broken his nose?
Love this channel. I learn a lot but the laughs ,are truly why I’m here! Keep up the great work
What ever happened to that used Generac diesel generator you two bought? Last you told us, I think it had a spun main bearing or somesuch?
Back in college I lived in a semi-crappy neighborhood in Phoenix, AZ. For economy and to make sure I was never distracted by attractive females trying to talk to me during my crucial time of studious concentration, I replaced my big block Impala with a diesel Rabbit. Awesome. But it got almost 50mpg....until some fool boosted the pump. Then it went slightly faster but now only got 42mpg. One day I was headed out the door to get to school, I see my fuel door open and cap dangling.
Some cocklick had siphoned bout 5 gallons of diesel leaving me bone dry. I had to enlist the neighbor for a ride to the fuel emporium for a few gallons to get to school.
That evening when I returned home with a full tank and a locking cap, the same neighbor who sponsored a lift to the pumps, a shade tree mechanic and close personal friend of mine, summoned me to his home shop. There resided a 1975 Monte Carlo. Hood up. Air cleaner on the fender, float bowl on the bench. He hand me the bowl.....says "SMELL IT!"...... I whiff......diesel. We located the fool who purloined my fuel oils.
No one said anything to him. The car suffered all manner of little calamities one night. Tires slashed. More diesel in the tank. It's not hard to pull the remote cable on the hood and fill a crank case full of brake dust as collected from doing drum bakes on trucks. Locks shot full of glue. Main harness cut into more convenient sections.
That 5 gallons of diesel cost that kid a lot of money.
"Is there gas in it?" The mechanic's version of IT's, "did you turn it off and on again?"
rmp5s Customer brought in a early 00s Gallant that died while driving. Fuel gauge said 1/4 full. Hooked up the fuel pressure gauge: 0 psi. “Ok, 95% chance the fuel pump is dead.”. I pull the pump out out of the tank....tank is bone dry.
The gauge in the instrument cluster had broken.
@@300DBenz Ha! Yup! That'll do it every time.
My first car, a 1986 300ZX, would die if the gas was low and you were sideways on an incline. I was in my buddy's steep driveway once...started the car facing up the incline, no problem...but when I backed up and went to my right to turn around, it died. "Gimme a push!" Pushed it and as soon as it was facing down the hill, it cranked right up and off I went.
Sometimes you just gotta know your car! lol
With fuel how much does that set up weigh? I'm guessing 200 lbs plus. How far are you back packing it and who's back are you using?
You got away with hardly any smoke when she fired back up. I helped a friend get his Honda Accord going again after another friend put diesel in it. When it started back up the tailpipe spewed out a solid stream of grey smoke. It looked like grey water coming out of a garden hose. Fortunately we were outside.
Yeah, this happens. Did this as an apprentice with a mower. Took 3 other seasoned mechanics to figure it out, one smelling the fuel so hard from his hand he was basically snorting it. What you get with diesel mechanics, at some point all fuels start to smell the same?
I really like small engines; they're easy to fix, not complex, and can be fixed in a drunken afternoon.
I refilled the Vodka bottle with water - my teenage lad will be in for a suprise when he next skims my booze
Fool me once shame, fool me twice dewclaw.
Those Honda GX's are such great little engines.
Is it so cold up in the frozen wastes that you're not smacked in the smelling apparatus with gasamaline vapours when you open the can?
What ever happened to the Generator you guys were working on? Was it hardly used to death or is it ALIVE?
Always enjoy your videos nut...what happened to the hugh generator with the spun bearing???
A much needed breath of fresh diesel fuelled air! Nice timing, brother.
Great video, Love the rock crusher. That's Bad-Ass.!! 😎. Restore her and paint it Detroit Diesel Green, Cast Iron Gray or Machine Gray.
Always, always sniff the fumes of any flammable liquids before using....if not to confirm the correct contents, then at least to get a bit of a buzz going before you start the motor.
I would show Mr "Wet Nails" or "Dew to the Paw Claw" that gasoline doesn't smell like diesel.
Then there's always the match demostrato.🤔
did he have a cold or was wearing an extra thick balaclava or something? youd smell the difference the second you opened the jerry can
I've perpetrated and been the victim of some gas can misappropriation. Diesel, kerosene, methanol, used engine oil, 2-cycle mix marked "gas only". Coolant and/or water. Used oil in the hydraulic fluid buckets, too, when you need to mix things up. I swear one day I'll open the cap and get sand.
Surplus olive drab Jerry cans for everything. Dispenses any illusion of certainty or reasonable expectation.
You did say backpacking right? That rock crusher looks like it might weigh quite a bit. Whose back is it going on?
fuel cans are color coded for a reason, Yellow - diesel, Red - gas, Blue - kerosene. If you are going to fill the containers with different fuels at least put a label on it.
I am just learning how to get that yellow dirt out of my back yard. I have been looking for a small crusher idea and this gives me ides.
So you're saying that the Dewclaw's One Foot Peacock wouldn't chooch because of getting gummed up with thick liquids?
Been there, done that... just with antifreeze.
One spring I went to start a lawnmower that was shared with some other people, it was making a truly terrible smell and running really badly, had a peak in the fuel tank and there was a blue liquid sitting at the bottom. No idea how, but it had been filled up with antifreeze. Drained that into a very old and clearly labelled petrol can, 'old, don't use'. Months later I needed some fuel for the car, grabbed a full new can out the shed, emptied it in, only realised at the end that some genius had swapped the antifreeze/stoneage fuel mix into a good can.
It was an interesting drive into town to get more actual fuel...
Is me or should the crusher and the engine be swapped around? Belt rotation is not right.
My dad was given a mini snowblower, happy he got in the truck and got som clean fuel, because he had only premix at home.
It purred like a kitten..... till it seized....after about a minute.
It was a 2 smoke.
RTFM!
I don't know about others but I can instantly tell the difference between diesel and petrol by the look and smell
Really!!! How does it not smell different? Love your channel!! Vraiment drôle
Is one arm now noticeably bigger than the other, from the workout?
Well half way thru the video I realized you were cheating.
Yup, I always "smell test" my fuel before I try to pull start the neighbors cat.
*Looks Like a Cool Setup!*
I may Also Keep Diesel Fuel & Gas In the Same Color Cans LOL! BUT I normally Mark Them... But not all the time LOL!!
If you have a flooded kitchen. Adding heat can without removing the humidity can increase mold growth.
What became of the generator? Did u send it off to the scrap yard?
Some things that also have a bad result:
1. Don't mix up brake fluid and anti-freeze. The brakes don't work very well after that.
2. Someone trying to steal diesel from a RV - but did suck the contents from the septic tank instead.
AvE and Dewclaw what has happened to the Diesel Gen set? How are those bearings?
neodymium magnets dropped into the metal fuel tanks will collect an amazing amount of rust.. keeping it out of the fuel filter and needle and seat.. if it has a plastic fuel tank.. put one inside and one outside to hold each other in place with a dab of silicone under the outside one to keep it from being brushed off. oh.. the neodymium magnets work in both Diesel or Gasolina. they don't frigging care which one they pull Red dUST out of. i usually use magnets with a hole in the middle to make it easy to push around. i have stuck float arms to the bottom of tanks before with them.
I found the problem right out of the gate....That jerry can is clearly not marked "Not Booze"
Nice little cone crusher👍
Where I worked before we had a cone crusher as a secondary crusher, after an old jaw crusher from West Germany.
B
That was before a new crusher plant was built with 2 drum crushers that made the cone crusher reduntant.
always mark your containers...is this diesel? 2-cycle? 112 race gas? av fuel? even in a temporary situation it'll always help you in the end to mark things.
I never thought I'd be saying this but... that cone is fucking adorable!
I feel like this merits a spin-off series called dewclaw's do's and don'ts. Wherein, dewclaw gives you worldly advise with the aid of diesel fuel.
One guy at the kart track managed to get his shifter kart started on diesel. Smoke and amusement ensued. :)
No teardown video of the motor or the rock crushing apparatus? What ever happened with the diesel generator and it's bearings? Maybe Dewclaws keep away from the infernal combustion motors
Another version that I've experienced is a used 2ltr lemonade bottle being kept in a car as windscreen wash/coolant top-up, but with the label fully intact. Enter a family holiday scenario where we each help to unload our respective cars, followed by me deciding to try the lemonade in the fridge mixed with some orange juice. The cloudiness was hidden by the orange juice, but multiple checks on whether there had been a sewage leak somewhere nearby before realising that the 'lemonade' that I was drinking had been rolling around in a car for the better part of 2 years.......if the label was removed it would have been simple logic as to what it was, but a fully intact bottle label (with good pressure when squeezed!) meant that it ended up living in the fridge at the holiday house and ultimately in my glass!
"Nah, see that there is just a perfectly lubed engine." My pops favorite excuse for when mislabeled Diesel is used.
Its AMAZING how well an engine will run when using the proper fuel. :)
Well, at least that cylinder is well lubed!
Oh we've all been there I think my favorite was when one of the guys at the shop filled a bunch of antifreeze container is up with green diesel and of course the semi was low on coolant and I put it in the radiator and then realized something didn't smell right and ended up having to do a full coolant flush because some dumb-ass decided to put diesel in an antifreeze container
How much did that old crusher set you back? That's pretty darn handy!
