When I was 13 or 14 yrs old, my dad and I mounted a Yamaha 80cc engine onto a go-cart. The rear axle was solid so both tires were engaged. One time i was starting it inside the garage and you had to pull up on the throttle cable right out of the top of the carb since you were kickstarting it from behind. Needless to say, when I pulled the cable up, it got stuck outside the top of the carb and the engine started revving like crazy so I ran around the front to push the kill switch but when I did, I accidentally bumped the gear shifter handle (it was a long metal bar so you could shift by hand), anyway, the cart popped into gear and shot across the garage knocking over some stuff before it hit the wall and literally climbed up the wall and started hopping on the ground with the rear tires bouncing and I was trying everything to stop the beast, my dad was outside the garage and he came running in and jerked the sparkplug wire from the head. He just stood there looking at me and shaking his head. We pulled the cart off the wall and he just turned around and walked back outside. This was in about 1978, I still laugh when I tell my kids and friends the story, lol.... Thanks for posting the video.
A kid down the street from me had a Montgomery ward go cart that had a worn out centrifugal clutch. I remember he came riding up to my driveway and killed the engine, we talked for a bit, he got off and push started it, it took off and he tried to jump back on but by the time he finally was able to get into the seat it ran right up under that back end of my dad’s Datsun pickup. The truck was only about two feet if that off the ground and he was completely underneath the truck, still seated on the go cart. I was certain the kid was dead. My dad watched the entire incident from the living room window and came out chuckling a bit under his breath, being honest I was struggling to keep from dying laughing. The kid was stone cold knocked out and folded back with his head on the engine. We got him out from underneath the truck and he was so dazed that he laid down for a good 45 minutes in the front yard before limping home without the cart. It was a heck of a sight to see for sure.
Vibratory drive. Made 4-5 feet (1.5 metres) or so forward progress. Invention was shortly abandoned after it went public, but a lot of chiropractors went into business around that time, it may be rumored.
Oh Lord, I have never laughed so hard. Way back when I was an aircraft mechanic I used to worry about creating an embarrassing backfire when starting the big, radial engines. I feel better now.
The crankshaft should have bobweights to give some balance. But honestly an engine of this kind is meant to be slow-running. To stop a runaway diesel generally means cutting off the fuel flow or plugging the air intake. By accident the fuel supply was detached & nobody got hurt.
Sort of lucky escape, if you have a runnaway diesel consuming it's lub oil the only way is to cap the air. Detroit 2 stroke diesels have a reputation for that
Long time OTR Professional. A REAL RUNAWAY Diesel cannot be STOPPED by cutting off its fuel. Once enough damage has been done by heat and vibration to the diesel engine it starts to CONSUME its own LUBRICATING oil as FUEL (literally consuming its own life's blood) and does not need its fuel tanks to run or electronics because of the HIGH TEMPERATURES reached by the engine. It will keep going until the ENGINE blows up or it RUNS all of the OIL out of its oil pan and system. It is a sight and sound you will never FORGET in your LIFE and is TERRIFYING to BEHOLD in person. Sounds and Looks like the MACHINE is SCREAMING and SHACKING in AGONY and EVERY SENSE in your body and Mind is telling you to RUN AS FAR AS YOU CAN FROM IT!!!!
Yes, It Shakes in a way that looks UNATURAL and the Sound it makes CHILLS YOU. Plus, the SMELL of BURNING OIL at SUPER HIGH Temperature along with the smell of BURNING METAL, Paint, plastic and wires! Yes it will make you think that it is ALIVE and SUFFERING GREATLY!

Seems like they need something more substantial than a wooden pallet to anchor those engines. But I guess that's a part of the learning curve with such crafts.
@@itsruf1 If you're shipping an engine that isn't running then sure. Wooden pallet all the way in that case. But it'd be safer to mount those things to a steel plate that's perhaps weighed down with a bit of concrete or something if you're running an engine that isn't dynamically balanced by design. May as well expect a running tumble dryer to sit still with a cement block inside of it.
As a kid, I used to build home made go carts all the time. Some were real works of hillbilly engineering. One was made from the tubing of a shopping cart and had a chrome bicycle sprocket for a steering wheel (had to wear leather gloves to run it). 8HP Kohler with an open flywheel. Don't lean too far to the left or the flywheel would catch your pants...OMG, yes, the engine "rode shotgun". Another was made from the classic two by four lumber type frame. Steering? - The classic one bolt to the crosspiece in the middle with the itty-bitty wagon wheels on the ends. A rope loop completed the steering gear - kind of like the Ben Hur chariot race thing. Push start, direct drive, no brakes. My buddy wants to ride it but he forgets to keep tension on both sides of the rope loop. He gets halfway down the street, starts zig-zagging back and forth and goes over the curb onto the side walk. He tumbles out as the front wheels strip away from the cart and end up against the back wheels, right in the curb gutter. We ran up to him "Oh....Ooooooh! he laid there on his back, groaning. He was OK, but boy, it was pretty funny.
Reminds me of washing machine destruction videos, where the machine is made to shake itself to bits. I'm glad this engine didn't destroy itself though.
That's brilliant! That's what the hobby is all about - you spend years restoring an engine, you start it, you spend years restoring it again. You can have decades of fun out of just one old engine.
Years ago, the carb on my bike was sticking so I tried fitting one from another bike. I had to take up yards of slack in the throttle cable and even then it ran really badly so I put the old carb back on. But I didn’t re-adjust the throttle cable…… …At first it wouldn’t start but when I bumped it, the engine caught and started running at 50% throttle as I headed towards a brick wall. I just managed to turn off the ignition in time, which was no mean feat as the switch was under the tank. I left it where it stopped and, shaking, went to the pub.
It looked like it was running backwards, too. The hit and miss motors I'm used to seeing rotate in the other direction, which probably explains why it was so out of balance. I've never run a European diesel, though.
It is a two stroke hot bulb . They are prone to run away from the start if there`s too much oil accumulated in the crankcase. The operators should have known and drain it before starting. @@crazyleyland5106
@@paulmaxwell8851 That's not correct. It is the crankcase intake engines that run in either direction. In fact they are usually started in reverse direction because it is easier and safer that way. When they are warmed up a bit, you cut off fuel and turn it back on again when compression makes it begin to turn in the right direction. It is the uniflow blower intake 2-stroke engines that cannot run backwards, as the blower will suck air out instead of pushing it in.
Demonstration of the operation of the unique five-stroke Tändkulemotor: intake -> compression -> explosion -> finding and collecting parts -> reassembly -> intake...
I started a 4cyl Deutz engine one time that had a secret plan to run away. And it did. Fortunately, I had the air cleaner off and slapped my hand over the 2" intake. That slowed it down but that crazy thing didnt want to die. I had to work at choking it down. And it still wanted to run. Never was so glad when it took it's final breath and gave it up. Wow. Didn't know the throttle rack was stuck open (new engine to me) and thus the kill lever wouldn't work. Learned a lot that day. BTW, the engine in this vid didn't run away. It was unbalanced and improperly mounted.
The irony, my best friend raced small hydrofoils in the 70s/80s and the most popular engine was the imp engine due to its light weight and good power, he had a sunbeam stiletto engine on a test stand which he had fitted a gas flowed head cam and dellorto carbs, as soon started it stuck at full bore flying round the garage wrecking the place.

I built a 2 cylinder double acting steam engine in my shop about 25 years ago. It was modeled after the Stanley Steam automobile engine of the late 'teens. 3-1/2" Dia x 4" Stroke. It was about 3-1/2 feet long. The intention was to mount it under a '74 Peugeot car with a a rear transaxle with independent rear wheel suspension. I took the thing to work and asked the boss if I could run it on compressed air. The place had a 30 HP Roots blower type rotary air compressor outside and it could handle the load. Oiled it up and had it running mounted on to wood blocks on a pallet. Lit the thing off with the boss watching...pretty awesome. The action was very smooth. As I adjusted the Stevenson link valve gear to get best cutoff, the thing sped up. Running it longer, it started wearing in and running faster. I used 60 pitch roller chain sprocket between the cranks to later hook up to a sprocket on the Peugeot transaxle gear box differential spider. Eventually the thing started ripping along at about 200 rpm. My boss was watching "There it goes!" the thing came loose and that 60 pitch sprocket was sawing through the pallet wood right as I shut off the air. It was totally awesome.!
