- this is part 2 on this old snow mobile engine that was pulled out of a falling down barn in southern NH . the fuel system was missing parts on the 1st video and now we have them. lets wrench on it some more and see how we make out.
After once again stopping watching Derek and Dalton's videos after a few minutes today because I'm sick of their stupid promotion of nutritional supplements whose effectiveness has already been disproven many times, I want to say "Thank you". Thank you for not having any "sponsorship" on this channel. Thank you for not jumping on the bandwagon to make more money by promoting snake oil. Thank you for doing what you've been doing for years: having fun with wrenching and taking us along. What a relief.
Uh I actually just saw a camera advertisement and one for Tinker and one for a politician…. Etc….
@@devicemechanix9049 Really? At what time stamps did Mustie advertise a camera, Tinker and a politician? I must have missed that.
@@NorbertMichalske I don’t know, I didn’t note it. But I saw at least 4 advertisements.
@@NorbertMichalske guess you’re luckier than me. Do you do paid TH-cam maybe?
@@devicemechanix9049There’s a difference between sponsorship and advertisements. TH-cam does the advertisements, and Mustie can’t control that.
As an ex-mechanic and at 50 years old, I would love to be Mustie's apprentice. His diagnostic skills and fixes, still amaze me after a few years of watching him. I love how you still get excited when an engine pops off and shows signs of life, it is infectious. Mustie I love your videos I appreciate the effort you put into entertaining us and teaching old dogs new tricks. Please keep going I get excited on a Sunday. Big love from the UK.
Same background but the disassembly and cleaning of the tillotson style carb had me yelling. Why would you leave gaskets on in US cleaner? Lol
This is a very cool engine. Can’t wait to see Mustie 1 screaming around with it. What an awesome find. Thanks
As a retired part time machinist it is generally recommended that when hand threading a bolt in, you start by going backwards to feel the "Click" of the threads locking together which is the sign for you to reverse direction to the right.
Mustie 1 master class on carburetors! I even have worked on carbs after learning from the man. Experience is what it takes to do this.
I love a mustie laugh when something starts for the first time.
Yes, 100% snowmobile engine! Many manufacturers used that engine back in the late 60's and early '70s. As a point of reference for next time you do not need to gravity feed the gas to that type of carb since the fuel pump is built in, and you have a pulse line coming from your crankcase that drives the pump. GREAT VIDEO - LOVE IT!!
Greetings from Bologna, Italy, where this NC farmer and mate are having a glass of wine and enjoying Mustie on vacation!
Late to view this one but, I've said it before and I think it's right, I'll say it again, Mustie, you ARE a MAGICIAN!!
On to this weeks!! All the best, sir!!
How can you turn trash into treasure, this guy shows you how. Best regards from Ireland Mustie lad.
It's not just Will it Run. It's more like , will Darren do the sinister laugh when it fires up! It is so satisfying to hear the little laugh after that burst of power.
Good morning everyone and thanks Again Mustie for another video and time in shop. Everyone asking for prayers for all affected by the recent hurricane in Florida and major Flooding in NC and Tennessee. Parts of Tennessee and Nc are devastated. Whole towns are gone. They need our prayers 🙏✝️
That would be wicked sweet on a go-kart 😁
That 2 stroke sounds violent! I can't wait to see what toy Mustie1 puts it in.
Very neat video Mustie, CONGRATULATIONS, that was a real project and very challenging as well entertaining, has been very long time ago that I haven't have one of those in my 72 years of age, my most expressive thanks for sharing it with us, please keep us posted, from the endless summer paradise Puerto Rico Jesus Torres.
Love when Mustie gets a engine to turn over and the Joy we hear!!!!! The best!!!!
Year after year I am so impressed by his skills and troubleshooting abilities!
Good morning from Bucks County Pennsylvania!
One of the most extraordinary real mechanics I've ever encountered
Regards from South Africa 🇿🇦
Top of the morning to all! ... from Wisconsin, USA 🇺🇲
Thank you for the work you do producing these videos!
Thanks Mustie 1 for making a dull afternoon more joyful!
Great video, That is the same engine I had in my 1969 artic cat. That machine/engine was awesome during the blizzard 1978"
Good morning folks. Checking in from Brighton,Massachusetts
I'm sitting here picturing that engine in that tiny little boat thing you were working on. And you flying across the water on top of that thing at 50 mph. That would be one heck of a scary ride!
At the end of the video, it's always satisfying to hear Mustie say one more time.
Brilliant carburetor work. Really enjoyed it. Thank you.
reminds me of working on my old snojet all summer only to get it started and watch it take off across the yard and craxh into a gulley...good times
An alternator/starter repair shop should have snap ring and circular keeper! Old Chevy starters used a flat keeper! Luv u videos!
Thanks Mustie, that sound is so evocative, reminds me of the old 2 stroke race bikes, beautiful.
Glad she is back to running. Just cant wait to see the engine on tbe project now. Not sure what would keep the track from getting all tore up during the summer months, but I bet it fun year round no matter what.
Nicely done friend, now we need a old briggs and stratton mini bike to drop this into....
Hollywood Florida, USA. Always here Sunday mornings!
Always a great Sunday when a new Mustie1 episode pops up in my feed.
His laugh is absolutely hilarious when things go off track.
That's definitely a snowmobile engine.
I'm racking my brains trying to remember which brand I saw them in as a teen growing up in a small Michigan farm town north of Flint Michigan.
Yes, I've seen them.
They were ultra reliable.
It'll come to me tonight as I'm falling asleep of course.
Ooh, I believe it was made by Sachs.
Rockwell badged so maybe a Monkey Wards branded snowmobile ?
Great job on bringing that thing back to life.
Another fun Sunday morning in the shop!
Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦
Nothing like a Sunday Mustie1 vid and coffee. Nice job reviving that 2 stroke.
Another one saved from the scrap yard, excellent !
That carb kit is typical aftermarket garbage. That engine was used in Polaris snowmobiles and could be over 50 years old.Thanks for the video.
Fantastic timing, I've literally finished TH-cam today, had nothing else to watch until my favorite TH-camr posted this video..cheers !
Glad I'm not the only one who spends all their time watching other people work instead of getting on with my own projects .
That's a very good and proper way to show off the
acclaim Chevy Rally Wheel Rim 👍👍
I’m not sure if anybody has mentioned this, but I remember this engine from the late 60s being in some Moto ski snowmobiles. It was a 399 cc engine that didn’t produce a lot of power but was very reliable. Great video.
I had a Rockwell JLO in my twin track Raider snow machine.
Good motor very dependable for 2 cycle.
Good morning from Arlington Washington USA
Hello from wareham ma Mustie 1 love all your videos have learned so much!!!!
Awesome video and troubleshooting Mustie, can't wait to see it in a vehicle 😻
Good morning from North Carolina
classic engine still alive... great job figure out carb putting back together.
Darren thank you for another enjoyable and informative video six stars brother
One of the tricks I've learned to do if jets or other screws are stuck in a carb is to send it through the ultrasonic for a cycle or two with that screw in place. Quite often the heat, fluid and cleaning action will unstick the threads and allow me to remove it for another round in the bath.
Good morning from Texas, everyone.
Morning from Montreal.
Just finished smoking a brisket. Great morning.
Good Morning! 😄☕🌄
@@maustank8864 I'll bring the baked potatoes! 🥩🥔🥔🤤
Good morning Texas. From the Oregon coast.
Cool engine. Looks like it could be modular, like a multi-rotor wankel. Stack Cylinders with a different crank. Nice work as always.
A cup of coffee, a warm bread pudding and a Mustie1 video.
This day is starting off in a really nice manner!
Really enjoy watching you figure out how things work.
always thought it would be fun to put one of those 80's or early 90's 340 snowmobile engines on a large go cart. That baby would rip!
I can just see Musty out in the woods with that thing on a snowmobile. Trying to build a fire after that piece of crap leaves him stranded 😂
Love to see you work on youre projects and the way you explain what you are doing.... you would be a great teacher....😉😁👍.....
Greetsz from Holland/Friesland..max......👍😊😉😎🤗
Good afternoon fellow Mustie1 fans, from Lincolnshire, UK 🇬🇧.
Mornin' from Georgia U.S.A
Afternoon from “ it’s a long way too ??? In Ireland 🇮🇪 👍
Afternoon from Leeds West Yorkshire
Good morning Y'all from Texas, U.S.A.
Good morning from mn USA don’t hold it against me
That engine sounds great..good find
In the 70's as a teenager I had a Scorpion snowmobile with a 400cc version and also a Ski-doo that had a 340cc version transplant on it from the original 1 cylinder Rotax, the correct carb would have been a Walbro, I have fond memories of them engines.
Good morning from Michigan
Morning from Minnesota where we know a bit about snowmobile motors!
Throw the carb in a drawer, get a pulse pump and mikuni. Add some back pressure to the exhaust and you got a little monster there!
Good morning Mustie from Laredo Texas.
Good morning all from Fairfax Virginia just outside of Washington DC. Wow, Mustie! you find the coolest stuff dumpster diving, yard sale shopping, and pulling out of old structures. Around here, it's hard to find that kind of stuff. You rarely see it and not for little or no money if you do.
Good afthernoon from the Nederlands.
Morning coffee and mustie1 🤤, Franklin MA checking in....
I'll second that👍👍👍👍
Interesting tech from Germany! It reminds me of the Harley Davidson golf cart engines from the 60’s except when you applied power in reverse to the starter / generator it would start the engine in reverse so one could back up the cart. The forward reverse selector also isolated the charging voltage to battery when it was in reverse or they used a diode patch to prevent reverse voltage from reaching the battery. That centrifugal clutch needs to be polished a bit since the rust will wear the belt prematurely. These early engines from HD were also two stroke.
Thanks!
I love your videos Mustie. Just a little suggestion. Try referencing the internet when your having trouble. YT videos are so helpful, not to mention you can get schematics for just about anything online today.
Musite looks things up as a last resort. He enjoys the challenge of figuring it out himself, and he feels that it keeps his troubleshooting skills sharp.
That Vertex decal brought back memories for me from the sixties. We used to run Vertex Magneto s in our gasser engines when we raced.
Wow we are a cheery bunch todoy. 😀
Hi D. Great revival!! Go figure the carb kit was right but not. I just knew that you would get it running great!! Another awesome video!! Hope you have a great week!! Thanks again for sharing!! Can’t wait to see it put in and running!!😊😊😊Darren
that is what I like about your videos I always learn new stuff, thanks.
Thank you for sharing. Hello from Ohio👍
GO BUCKS!!!
The game was on stupid peacock!
Southern NJ, USA, checking in.
Good evening from West Coast of Canada
Hi Darren. Love watching your videos! You have given the confidence to work on all kinds of equipment from lawn mowers to lawn tractors to my latest project a 1996 Yamaha Jog. (With only 200 KMS) Changed some parts and cleaned and adjusted the carb so that it works well.... But I cannot adjust the oil pump to stop the bike from puffing that smoke. I would love if you could do a video on how to adjust the oil pump! Thanks for for making great videos and explaining this stuff so that we can understand!
Btw I ' m from Montreal, Canada
Good afternoon from north devon England
Good Morning Mustie1 , hope you’re doing well! Thanks for the Sunday morning video!
I have to laugh every time he laughs when an engine comes to life. I know that feeling
Excellent video Mustie :) also nice see that motor run super and okay on carb too!
Love the Mustie Chuckle! Hello fans from Michigan!
I think once you sort an air filter and exhaust system for it, it will run a lot smoother, as the 2 strokes tend to need some back-pressure at low RPM to maintain crankcase pressure, but otherwise it's been a fun and informative set of Videos, I hope we will get to see what you decide to put it on to power it, great video, love that you bring the dead back to life.
Sundays wouldn't be the same without Musties medling lol
he said it there was a preview of it in his last vid... the last vid was of a yard vacuum... guess I'll have to look and see what was in the background. Won't be able to sleep otherwise.
Mustie 1 Rockwell engine part one
Please, please let us know when you find that Bendix bushing one day in the future. It's there, somewhere.. 😅

Blessings to you and yours. Hope it all works out well for you. Lots of us are thinking about lots of you who got hit.
@Hugmiff1 thank you just have to take it day by day
So very sorry for you and yours. ❤
@ludvigtande1236 thank you just gotta take it day by day
my sympathy goes out to you, living in central Florida I have been through quite a few but thankfully I've always been spared any serious damage or loss, stay positive my friend.
It's amazing how you can raise the Dead keep up the amazing work 👍🇺🇲
Good Sunday morning from Western Montana! It’s always the carbs that give me palpitations about these old engines. I have lots of old Mac chainsaws that I’m forever trying to get the carbs right. This vid gave me PTSD 😂
If only there was a more reliable way to get atomized gasoline into an engine...LOL
Dublin Ireland watching
❤❤ 5:35
Great job Darren …
I look forward to the mustie upload every Sunday morning. Good morning from Ohio USA.
Love the slip ons. Keep up the good work.
Afternoon from Northern Ireland. ☔
Nice job sir Nice engine Nice show sir 😃👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍
What is the best thing to hear on a Sunday morning after coffee the mad scientist laugh when it fires for the first time. Mustie 1 your awesome . love your vids
We had a 72 Massey ferguson snowmobile that had a 440 JLO rockwell. Sounds exactly like that one.
This motor sound realy like an 25hp trabant motor 🥰
Greetings from germany love your videos 👉👈🥰
Good morning Mustie1, from Courtenay, British Columbia, Canada
busted out the lathe........homemade parts......love that
That's a badass little motor.
Good morning Everyone from Upstate NY!
Mustie... you keep coming up with some really strange things to work on. I really like this about you. Wish I was as lucky as you when it comes to this.
