Golf Cart Engine Fail, Lets Rebuild it..

hey guys and how's it going hey we're going to continue on this easy go golf cart pickup truck that i picked up a couple days ago in the video before this you brought it in uh went through it went through the carburetor kind of educated ourselves how things operated and got it to run but unfortunately it doesn't make much power smoke's pretty bad smoke might just be too much two-stroke oil in the bottom end but it doesn't really make power did a compression test and it had like 60 60 to 70 psi which is way too low to be a good running engine so we're gonna go move forward with continuing to dig in and uh so you can get the top end off that engine i don't know if we need to pull that engine right out of there it's kind of framed in but i figured we could probably start taking some pieces off make it smaller so that uh either we can take it out the engine out as one unit and take it on a bench repair or if we're able to get the cylinder and a cylinder head off in there we could do that and we can take care of it right where it is not sure which way it's going to go i cut an access hole in the last time just to make uh for better operations when we did the carburetor and just for future repairs and when the time comes we'll just put a lip around it and let it sit right back in again and it'll be like nobody ever knew all right i'm not sure we're going to go show you how i'm going to start probably looks like i'm going to take the starter generator off we'll get that out of the way get some of the exhaust system out of the way and i'll bring you back we'll get rid of that generator exhaust sure made a lot of room unfortunately it's in there this is fixed here's the frame down below with the cradle and this bracket is welded right onto it so even if you unbolt this it's not like this plate can come out of the way we can and access the side of the cylinder head and it's got the same on the other side so it it physically has to kind of like come up out of that cradle another thing i saw too here's the front motor mount i don't think that front motor mount is motor mounting that kind of gave up the ghost so you can keep picking away i got a oil line for the oil pump to take off a couple of cables for the carb and i don't know if there's going to be enough room i just know what direction trying to get that out of there i have a feeling it's going to be something like twisting it up like this and try coming towards us it's hard to say we could drop that whole cradle i guess we got a like a pivot here and a pivot there maybe that'll drop down or about the other side of it yeah two more that's not really not going to drop down though it's got a bracket going over the top so you could drop that side down this side we can't what a strange setup i guess you know after you used to probably doing a couple of them you know how they come apart but for uh first timer it seems counter-intuitive the way it was stacked together maybe the the body wasn't on at first and you know it's much easier to deal with all right keep willing it was all the guts of everything flipped over kind of connected try to keep all the cables and pumps and everything where they are all the bolts are out of it and it is just sitting there like a a sharp greasy football and i was trying to get the clutch off of it the bell off the clutch and it's not having it right now if i have to i'll wrestle with it more but it's starting to look like if i turn it up enough it might even fall down through the hole not sure yet so i'm going to go pop against the end try doing some more wiggling on that let me throw a pair of gloves on and see if you can get that to drop down at the bottom the other direction might be right straight up towards you too let's go see how it wiggles around inside there once we get it out we can probably get the clutch off so when i put it back in it might be a little easier nice one thing i noticed so these are the head bolts but they turn two of them are turning and it had the bracket that supported it with bolted two here i don't know if that kind of backed off when i went to go undo those bolts i just don't know the answers to that because if that was the case and they were loose then it's going to have a head gasket that's noise you know blowing out that would cause load compression too but i would think it would have been much louder than what it was it didn't sound like you know what it would sound like i have an exhaust leak these four are the uh the four on the other side are already removed these four and hopefully we can get the tin off trying to get a little bit of movement out of that one that one feels like she's a snapper steel into aluminum by the time you try heating it and get it to go sometimes you better off just it's got a snap on us yeah there's no amount of heat and penetrant that was going to get that the other three loose let's make sure now i'm paranoid that's good sometimes you crack them loose and you go half a turn and then they're locked up all right [Music] but enough whether these have to come off you got it caught up on that stud right there let me get a long screwdriver to sneak in behind there and give a little pressure out to clear that stud gotta get that one out man does it not want to come off of that one there's another plate under there holding it there it goes nope just me and we're in oh she's packed yeah i think that would have caused a little bit of overheating problem that might be why it took itself out actually overheated yeah she's packed pretty good huh so as a fan over here it spins takes air blows it across the top of the cylinder head and the fins and exits out on this side well that is completely clogged that whole pathway all the way around so that was overheating again we still have the that bolts loose and that one's loose i don't know if they backed off or not let's get all that vacuumed up cleaned up out of there we'll get the cylinder head off fish in a barrel all right now we're getting into the nitty-gritty foreign let's see they were not doing very much huh 12 millimeter that top one wasn't very tight either yeah man [Applause] ready that looks like to me the balloon head gasket is literally missing a lot of it where the compression was leaking out of there then i'm not quite sure yet but definitely ate a bunch of that away huh and that's the corner that we had an issue with with the bolts not being tight i'm kind of wondering if we need rings and all let's go clean the crap off of here she's a little sloppy in the hole let me go get some of the crap off of it [Music] and i'll i'll bring you right back little detailing i rolled that piston down cylinder down to the point ports let's go take a peek we got we peeked in with a borescope earlier i thought i saw a score going down one side it actually looks quite good i don't see what i thought i saw is that a thing very tiny ridge if any i know what you guys can see there is you can barely feel it i actually think maybe the bottom end i mean we gotta look at the rings yet but i think the piston that's not a hole in the dead center is it a little ignition hole see it let's go get something to go get something to stab at that real quick that might do it let's go see if there's anything to that it definitely goes in a decent amount let's go bring that up top dead center again what is that that's just the way it's made or is that like a pre-ignition it doesn't go through she's got a bit of slop to her but i'm going to go take a wire reel wire wheel real quick and go clean the carbon off the top of the piston let's see if there's any stampings on it like it was done dirty over or anything i just did that f so the only stamping i see on is an f i'm not sure if that's something else right there where's your light where'd you put it f and then s i think s is probably going to be standard is my guess and the f is probably the direction of the piston the way it points uh there's only four bolts that hold the jug on let me get that kind of cleaned up a little bit so you can go slip that off and take a quick peek at what the piston rings look like we got them one of the studs pulled out that's okay that one a lot of oil let's go wipe that jug down take a quick peek at that and the piston see how that looks i don't see any scuffing on the wall at all not yet anyway a little bit right there but that's not bad i've taken them apart and they looked terrible and that piston physically doesn't look bad at all let's um with the rings off without breaking them top ring bottom what i'm going to go do is uh definitely has an interesting wear pattern huh i've never seen an elliptical ring i've seen them where the ring is the same size all the way around i've never seen it where it's thin goes the fat and back to thin i want to say those rings are done [Laughter] slight observation on my end but yeah they are not looking uh like the physical correct size that they should be especially one on the bottom the bottom is really wore out let's uh clean up the jug we're gonna go set these down inside and we're gonna look and see how far this ring gap is apart from one another if that gap is just a couple thou open that means the rings have not worn and expanded up that much but i have a feeling by the look of them that they have go get that i relocated this over here because the lighting is a little bit better let's go drop one of those in that is a mile a mile off see that gap that's about 3 8 of an inch and let's see what it does it goes lower yeah pretty consistent yeah that is just absolutely burned up that gap should be about i mean i might break it trying to get that close it should be about that far apart like like sixth house not not 600 thou that's not 600 that's probably uh 300 that's a good almost a third of an inch i'd say gap i've never seen one that large i've never seen that bear down wear down that far and still be able to run i'm amazed how much it was still kind of running on so what i think happened was it overheated it got that crap around it and so the fan couldn't cool it it overheated and just started burning itself up i'm amazed that the piston is so nice and the jug does not look bad at all don't want you to be able to see i haven't honed it or anything it does not look bad i don't think the piston and rings and gasket is all that much money the jug is the jug i think is like 150 bucks so we can get away with just doing piston rings in a head gasket i think we'll be okay and i actually think we are okay and it's on standard board i'm not going to bother doing any bore on it i think we're just going to go put her back together let me go see what i can do for shopping but for right now other than cleaning parts about as far as i can go that's good i'm glad we kind of got into this one i was going to stop uh and not move forward with it for a while but i'm glad i kind of moved on with it we probably are too we gotta come on are you ever gonna show us anything getting fixed or just calling it all right i need to go shopping hey guys and how's it going it's about i don't know probably two weeks later after the last video of taking the engine out of the ez go golf cart that had low compression and since then we have had some parts come in we have a new piston rings and uh gasket set which should be everything we need to try to rejuvenate this thing back to life i'm going to take a minute clean up the bottom of the crankcase the cylinder head and the jug and we'll get back into reassembling it in just a second i got that stuff washed up i want to do a little bit of honing on the cylinder to clean up any irregularities and a lot of times too it gives you a good visual to see what the sides of the bore look like this is just two-stroke oil because it's what i have let's go run that i'm not looking to take off a bunch of material i'm just looking to kind of clean up and put a little bit of a cross hatch on the side walls those little cross hatches cold oil for lubrication they got more to go you can see where it's not even touching right here that's where all the compression happens all the work gets done all the time so that's going to be a little bit of a recess i'm going to continue cleaning that up a little bit and i'll bring you back when uh i feel it's time i probably did that for under five minutes i don't want to go crazy you're not trying to bore the thing out but like i said you're trying to get a cross hatch pattern that's what holds the oil and you can see down below other than the ridge line you can see where that's happened we're gonna go take the piston right now we're gonna set the rings in the new ones and we'll take the piston we'll use the piston to kind of make sure that it's square and take a look at the gap and see what kind of gap we have on there that's how how well those rings are going to be able to seal how's that can you see i see the difference between the new and the o-ring look how thin that wall got over there all right just try to drop one of these in there and we are going to look for how much gap there is i probably should have rotated that way you guys could see better we're going to use the piston to make sure it's square and that let's go give her a little bit more so it's worst case scenario in that where the com compression is i should probably move you can you see well kind of let's go give us a rough idea what we have for our gap i'm going to stick like an eight thou let's start with that eight fifths let's go with 12 12 16. let's go way up i don't think we're 32. no we're not 32. i guess we're probably about 25 worst case scenario 25 does not fit 20 does not fit 14 for that caught around 15. now we're going to go lower it down [Music] and what i'm looking for is so that it doesn't bind i i i don't want it so that it's it's one you know or two you kind of want i don't know quite my guess would be like five thousand i haven't looked it up but let's go try a five five fifths i'm gonna go actually a little lower with it it would have been much better if i put it there huh you get the idea shove a 10 in there 10 10 goes with drag so we'll call it 10. the old rings watch this here's the o-rings they are a good 300 350. so the other ring was make much better compression than that one that was just not going to have it so it looks like it's pretty good um it's got about a five thou taper coming up you could rebuild it and uh hone the cylinder out or bore the cylinder out see if i cannot break a ring taking it out [Applause] you can bore it you're like 30 thou over so the ring would be a little bit larger and match that cylinder but i think we're going to be okay with what we got we're not looking to restore this thing we're just looking to rebuild it and get it back into operating condition without spending a ton of money all right piston slop let's go see how that is let's go flip it around yes std it does not have a sexually transmitted disease that's just standard bore ex's exhaust side that doesn't feel terrible generally you're going to get more play this direction on the crank because it's moving in this rotation not this rotation so the piston kind of gets pushed against this side and and this side so it kind of makes more of an oval than it does a circle it seems decent i'm kind of eyeballing the gap going around it too i think we'll be fine all right so my intake actually comes in on this side in the crankcase it's down below it's not coming into the cylinder head uses the bottom of the crank for the air fuel charge it goes into where the crankshaft is the oil that you mix and pre-mix sticks to the components down there and it's actually the lubrication for the bottom end and the sides of the cylinder below the rings but this is going to be the intake port it opens a passage internally allows the air fuel to go into the crankcase pushes it when the piston goes down pushes it to the top ports allows the air fuel to mix in here gets closed off compresses it fires it pushes it back down and then the exhaust port sorry the exhaust port is going to open poof it's going to shoot the exhaust out go a little bit further down the piston is going down putting like positive pressure on the crankcase down below and that in turn is pushing the air fuel to come through these ports come back up again refill it and fire it over again boom back down exhaust fires out rinse and repeat rinse and repeat all right let's go get the block over i think we can go swap the piston over put some rings on it and get her reassembled actually just work on a couple of those broken studs before i forget throw a little bit of heat on them and then we'll get some little vice grips on see if they'll rock loose make sure you get a good bite i will throw some heat in it people comment about using penetrating oils i have not really had great luck with it i usually find if they're that stuck they stay that stuck they do you know they did serve their place but against you got to get a little bit of wiggle once you get a little bit of wiggle on them then you're good and sometimes you when it's all together you'll spend more time with penetrating oils and and working it and you just wait till later where you have a little bit better access like we do now we can actually get it and actually put some heat on it because there's not other stuff around it that's going to catch fire like the carburetor you can get them out much easier you'll see just the white corrosion that grows on them we try doing the other one cold see what we get see if the heat was necessary i'm watching right down the center of it i'm watching the vice grips you don't want to keep doing it to where you keep popping the vice grips off because once you blow the edge off you're screwed it wasn't going without heat let's give it some heat okay sometimes too what you can do is take a an air gun and blow around it because like a little there's like dust that's coming out of it if you can get the dust out of there it gives room in the thread so if right in here it's all filled up with you know crap you hit it with an air gonna blast that away gives it more room for it to come undone doesn't really seem like it's necessary on this one larger hardware another thing too is on like vice grips or call them water pump pliers there's a direction that you're supposed to use them what i mean by that you're looking at the the vice grips see how it's got a little bit of an angle to it actually let me go grab a different pair of pliers i'll show you on them and go with these so if you're trying to take a bolt off you want to grab it like this and twist you do not want to grab it like this and twist this is pulling the jaws apart when you're turning it that way when you go like this when you're turning it like this it's actually making itself tighter it's it's pulling the two jaws together instead of the other way actually wants to push them apart that's true with anything that's got that little bit of a taper to the head on it like vice grips you want to don't want to be using vice grips like this you get a better grip if you grab it like this and turn them it kind of bites into the head of it here's the other side and that one's broke off kind of flush we really can't get it with vice grips so we're gonna go drill it out just for sake of showing how stuff gets repaired you drill it out completely and then run a tap through it to clean it out where we can try an easier we're gonna try and ease it out i have a feeling it's not gonna work very well but we'll give it a shot got a punch it's got a taper on it i want to try to get a close to the center as i can and put a divot in it so that the drill bit doesn't walk we'll go with it about there and if you're off a little like say if you you you punch that a little off center just your very beginning just kind of lean the drill a little bit till you get happy center then stand the drill back up again and we need fast [Music] now i know that's going to have a bite on it because we already know what it did on the other ones so we're going to go take an easy out we're going to tap it in throw a pair of vice grips on it i want to hit it with some heat a little bit i'm going to tap it as a throw some heat at it batteries flashing on the camera i'm kind of doubting it and the other problem with them too is that they push out on the walls of the screw so they actually try to in a way make it tighter all right and one thing you do not want to do is snap it off in there so that's not gonna go we're gonna end up drilling it out all right go change your battery there's charts you can look stuff up or what size drill bit you want to use for what size screw uh quick and dirty i use the shank of the drill bit and you just want to look see if you can see threads on each side of it a little bit that you know you just within the ballpark again i said it's quick and dirty [Music] good if you're trying to figure out what tap to go use real quick and dirty also you just lay the screw in the threads and if you can see that the they match up with each other each one falls into its its own groove help i show you huh it just lines right up inside there you know you have the right tab again the same thing with the putting the screw behind it whether you can see it or not should be almost the exact same size and kind of peekaboo you pop it on each end not exactly the tap that we should be using we should have more of a middle or a bottoming tap but we're going to go run this one in first just stop it in the drill a little bit tighter i kind of like the drill using them in the drill because it'll slip and not snap the bit when it bottoms out here we go good they're just holding the tin that goes around and they get a slight self-tapping capacity to them too hopefully don't get the one out of the other side we're able to push the pin out this way and we have to get something to make a curve and be able to tap on it a little i just went behind it with a angle screwdriver gave her a couple of taps to where it revealed itself and now we should be able to get it with the vice grips stop bumping into you bearing in there you want to watch out for with the two side plates let's go take a peek what they look like well that looks pretty good the surface looks there pretty decent look at that intake port here's the original one here's the aftermarket one it's got a bunch of flash around the corners i'm gonna go take a file and clean that up that's where your air fuel draws in through so the smaller that window is the less you're going to get in there you can actually physically see that it looks like it's a little smaller too let me go clean that up a little that's a little better there we go that flash that was on the outer edges a little bit so it can breathe a lot of mods you could do with this too for uh performance we're gonna leave this one alone i already put the one keeper in on this side thank god it's got a different type but one thing to kind of keep aware of is you don't want to put that pin that clip in where those prongs are on the sides and the reason why is this is really moving up and changing directions so fast it actually can stand the point of where over time it can it can walk on the change of direction this spring that's what it is can actually work itself out of the groove and they'll come in they'll pop out of there and they'll hit the side of the skirt and just kind of start chewing up the inside of the cylinder wall so you can get these back on i wiped all that out i'm not losing any of it see if you can walk and i set it up so like i said the clip i have to put on is the outer one i get it how did i drop it i think i had it the bottom end bearing felt pretty good feeling for up and down should have a little bit of side to side which it does not much for the up and down and now i get to go do it again with this one that's not the pliers i want neither want the teeth on it if you launch this across the room start with my fingers and then you can rotate it to where you want there you go and that's seated in there pretty good all right we need to get a base gasket and clean up the cylinder get some oil actually need rings drains would help doesn't mean compression i don't know why looks like a sharpie and marked it there and there that's where there's two pins that come out of the piston and they fall into that little groove right there i'm sure if you're in focus [Music] and the ring itself i gotta look again has a bevel and the bevel goes up that would have been upside down yes good fingernails no swearing gingerly try to walk it down don't snap in the ring into that groove i don't want to do that once it falls in it's a pain he has to get it out let's see if i can get it in let me guess we'll spread them joke there somewhere that's one let's get our other one again bevel up mean bevel it's flat on one side it's got a taper that goes on the other and the other pin is right about there this one should be a little easier because you only get the one groove to worry about get in there and it should fall into it's groove and when they close up when it's in the cylinder that gap gets really tiny i can't even do my fingers right now but you saw earlier when it was in there how small that air gap was it's even more than that i can see what i got for a portable ring compressor you can kind of work it with the jug without a ring compressor it's a pain you can do it on a motorcycle is a the bottom of the jug has a taper to it let me see if i have a ring compressor i can get on there that is removable unfortunately i do not have one that goes that small that is removable here's that taper you can kind of see it is on there and it kind of helps you at least to walk it into place but you also need to go and have a liberal about liberal amount of lube so that things kind of want to slide let's give her a shot see how it does actually throw a little bit on the jug too plus it has like little windows like you you're starting half of it at a time like you don't get all of it going at the same time you can see those cutouts are and let's make sure we put it on the right direction because that would suck the exhaust port opposite the intake and again those have to line up to their little grooves that we hit with a sharpie unfortunately they're going to like to turn to when we're putting stuff together chocolate yeah it's got some weight to the other thing too you could actually start the um you can start it in the piston and you slide the pin in later on when the rings are already started that's another option too am gonna wrestle with this but i do not wanna feel like i'm pressured by the camera to do so because it may not come out very well so i'm gonna go try it with that worst case like i said i'm gonna go pop the paint out i'll start the piston inside the cylinder and then put the pin back in when it's halfway together voila make some compression [Music] pretty good good i got my cover in the back for a cheat sheet the heavy part of the gasket goes down to the thicker part of the metal ring i think the head is ambidextrous and we need make sure the gasket's not gonna fall out throw two in the center right get in the hole one and there's the other all right so the three these three in the back have the tossed stud i think the exhaust bracket you know after that or the motor mount i'm gonna feather off of that bolts have a torque generally by the size of the bolt has a window of what that bulk gets torqued at and i would say that size right there is between 20 and 30. so we're gonna go call it 25 i'm going to run them down we'll grab a torque wrench we're going to go suck all them down to 25. so the last thing i did was i cleaned up the the tin that went around the cylinder head threw a couple screws in there i believe there's a bracket that sits on top so those two possibly those four stay out i forget started two bolts here and one somewhere there that might be in the wrong spot the gas goes up top because we need to be able to catch those two right there they got little cuts to slide in and i think we have yeah one on top that's in the wrong spot slide that in i'm gonna go take my time and try to wiggle that whole assembly down in there probably without you watching because you make me nervous and i did wedge a piece of wood in the clutch to open this up so the belt can fit further down in the groove so it gives you a little bit of room to play with nobody take the clutch off but it was fighting me and i figured before i destroy something i'd rather just kind of wrestle with this unless that becomes an issue then we'll really fight with it but for now we're gonna go about it this way so so so foreign uh [Music] so [Music] um whew so i got the engine back on its motor mounts but the cradle that sits in still we have that issue and i thought that the bushing ripped away from the stud that was on there like it was supposed to be bonded to it but i started looking at the other two which one's better to see you see that one back there it's got a metal uh big metal washer on top of it with a bolt and looking at the top of this one you can see it appears to be a ball too so let's see if we can get this off and actually just maybe just put a washer on there i was gonna put a washer over and weld to the side of it but that may not be necessary as long as you don't break that bolt nut and bolt it is a nutting bolt there you go that should do it and actually did this spacer there was a spacer that was in there now that i look at it though it does look like it was bonded to that spacer but that should do it that washer should hold it they did they did the same on the other two right so why not there you go that looks factory they're together we can get that piece of wood out of there when we spin it this should tighten up and tighten that belt up should it's almost there and then what happens in turn so now what happens is when this runs there's a set of clutches there uh weights inside here that squeeze this pulley together and we'll start to grab on this belt and the more tension and the more the faster that it goes it'll start pulling on this one and it'll change the gear ratio so this one will get sucked down into the pulley and this one will grow up on top of the pulley so the power is coming out of this one right now it's very slow it like say you got 10 turns for every one turn on here and then it'll go to the point where it's yeah probably about 50 50 uh direct shot it'll be about the same size on that side and the same size on that that'll be your top speed so i'll put it all back together took the wooden shim out of the pulleys and getting all the starter generator back on there and then you realize that you screwed up how many you saw that were yelling at me i never put the belt on for the generator and that's got to go on first before that belt goes on i suck so i put my wood shim back in you can't walk that belt off i'm easy but i'm wondering if i could take this belt and walk it under this one i think i think i stand a distinct possibility of possibly being able to do that maybe the problem is the hunk of wood does not allow it to spin it's gotta go like that i need a little sticky bit to poke it [Applause] i think i got it who's he daddy so later on and we're running it and we're trying to figure out what the rattle is that's the inside of the muffler well it must be done because i'm out of hardware i didn't hook up the fuel system yet or the oil or oil tube this has to get spun around you know the power oiler as you call it automatic oiler that's it that's got a reservoir with a line that goes through a pump and then it's worked by the throttle cable how much or less it puts oil into the system and should feed out of this tube i got the plug still out of it let's hook the battery up we'll give it a spin and i want to see if we start getting the oil pumping through there if not we're just going to do a pre-mix there's a possibility that system didn't work i think he was kind of alluding to that of uh possibly been an issue let's go find out the jumper packs connected i think we gotta go let's power on just pick either direction and we use the pedals this got to go that was for when i was towing it outside keep the wheel straight we hit that so let's make a crank i'm gonna go can i hold it full throttle i'm going to hold it full throttle and that'll cause it to give more oil to run the oiler all the way up let's see we get i am not seeing that move at all yeah that didn't move at all so yeah i think he did happen because he was screwing around with it is one of the things that he was saying he was playing with trying to get stuff uh functioning so that may be on why it burned up the ring still just literally had no oil and it just went in dry smoked her let's uh we want to do we go fuel up to it but we got a hook uh premix that's all let's see what we got and i don't know is there anything even in it have we even opened this it's looking pretty dry actually looks like it's got two-stroke in it i'll take care of that but we'll just hook up a external line for now get the fire already got a gas line hooked up to it with just a little bit of gas let's give her a fire and see what she does you think choke no choke actually is the choke even hooked up i know one of the cables is off that choke's hooked up let's give her some choke i don't hear nothing i'm going to dump a little down the carb give her a little uh here's our bottle get real little something like that i should probably get her from the side can i that's a tad too much actually give her a little bit of choke when it goes it doesn't hit the choke [Music] a little fuel issue it but it did sound much better it revved a lot better than it did before and it hasn't blown a ton of smoke out it's gonna go screw with a carb something happen there see if it's drawing any fuel it was it was up there so it did draw some might have an issue i hate when i have issues i hooked up the oil line just to plug that vacuum leak did i tell you that i did well you know what unfortunately it is late in the evening so i'm gonna go pick this back up probably tomorrow glad i just get it all back together i do know what kind of runs i'm gonna have to go pull that car again let's see if something happen with the float seems like it was starving for fuel or third time's a charm one or two oh that won't start a fire so [Music] he's a little bit of joke right now so [Music] so it dies again everybody used all the gas up actually yeah that's what happened so it was starting to draw fuel we got her we need to get a little prime in her looking at this oh that's still connected i thought it was broke right there it does look like it's starting to feed oil but we got pre-mixing and we'll keep running with that we'll see how that does i don't want to uh use that if i have any issues plus we don't have the intake on it so it will run a little on the lean side that's where that's kind of affecting it a little all right definitely sounds much better than it did the first time all right the vent fans on refuel to see fire up with no choke you'll have all that kind of stuff [Music] [Music] oh so yeehaw there we go almost out of gas gas is down in there again cool full pie again there's no intake system on it and it's cold i think that'll be just fine i think she's a survivor a survivor i tell you i end up mopping the gas out of the tank and that's what came out of it lovely huh i think it's two-stroke mix and it kind of maybe a little overzealous that a lot of the fuel evaporated and it knocked it down to uh it's like about one to one mix not fifty to one i do think the oil pump is working it was leaking at this clamp i changed that out it was not tight i think it was actually sucking air through there so that could be why you see the air bubbles kind of in the line so i got gas in the tank cleaned the tank out i tried getting the tank out it would not fit out of there without you know taking some of the body off and that's not happening it looks pretty clean the fuel line is reconnected to the fuel pump i blew it blew it out before i connected everything to the fuel pump back from the fuel pump up to a jar we're gonna go let it run through i got the line filled up again i want to run it for a couple of seconds purge the fuel out make sure the fuel pump is working and if that's clean we could hook the gas tank up and let it do its thing let's give her a shot i think we're gonna need some choke it is cold it's the next day see we get that's why it won't start hold on all right now see if we get some gas going to the cup good i can disconnect the gas line we hook that up to it we can run it off the tank now we got fuel lines all hooked up i wish you would just idle like a regular machine i'm sure there's a way to maybe to bypass it but again you hit the pedal and that's what starts to stop it when you let off the pedal all the way it just shuts the spark off so it dies so it's not like you just sit here and let it i don't listen to it and look at things you actually got to kind of stay on the throttle and you i was giving a gas letting off getting gas and letting off right there it's off [Music] no joke all right i think we're i'm pretty convinced that things seem decent i'm gonna go put the rest of the air cleaner assembly on it it'll help with choking it down a little bit more too so the next thing before i drop it on the ground the tires are low on the wacky side he's got like a snow tire on the left yellow tire on the right the front two i'm not sure the same size i do have two that i grabbed at a yard sale for a couple of bucks hopefully they bolt right up there we'll throw them on the back anyway and probably put the best of the others on the front get ready to clean up the wheels i got that's one of the new ones right there that i painted and then i should probably pop that one back off and paint it but it looked pretty good and the other four are what we're on there trying to come up with a set and before you say it yes they are all the same tire pressure so you can see the height difference so that's what that's what we want this this one was at like 35 psi and all the other ones were at about five but these kind of like the same tread they're not the same tire they all they all say the same number on the side they're all 18 by eight five by eight they're all different sizes and they're all at 20 psi right now so that one and that one probably looked the closest this is probably the newest but we're trying to get something that i know what matters more the tread or the height i would think the height and none of them are a pair none of them line up with each other i don't know maybe because the same difference is there maybe we'll just go larger you can see the height on this one compared to this one and a treadle match i guess we're going to go with these we'll paint these up let's take a minute painted all the rims and painted the hubs so it's definitely stuck up in the air for a while and i forgot about the tailgate tailgate uh escape hatch for the engine we got to do something for that i went around a grinder i took all the sharp edges off trying to figure out would it be better i got hinges would it be better to hinge up to the cab or do you think if it flipped over maybe back down onto itself i think the problem with the cap part is the back wall isn't straight up and down it's leaning so when you put it up it's almost probably going to be straight up and down and want to fall on you what's your thoughts and i'm going to overlap so wherever the hinges are you know there'll be a hinge here and hinge on the other and then we'll just get a piece of metal and we're going to scab right over the outsides of it we'll weld that on it'll just be a lip that lands on the other surface actually i probably should yeah it's going to be a pain yes i should do it underneath so that it falls back down in the hole without a ridge should but we're not let's go i'm going with this way you agree good so that's it after i got like one inch strips and went around the perimeter you could fold it this way then i went up my stash i found a couple of hinges i do believe they are steel that are just coated with like a brass coloring on it so i'm gonna go drill out the center holes i'm probably just do some plug welds right in the middle of them the hump in the center again it probably would have been better to try to do everything from the bottom but i'm not dealing with that this is not what this thing is it's not a restoration it's just a repair he said yeah i'm gonna go mark those probably him with a sharpie it'll come back with a drill or something actually is that where i want let's go in yeah roughly i think that was good let's go back to those marks clean them up and then plug weld i don't know if we need a handle you think we need a handle to lift it or you think uh we just grab it by that let's go take these away and try it i think we both just we don't need the handle that way there's no hole in it neither [Music] that should work out good enough this whole bed is ratty anyway i don't know if you can see it like all the ends are gone the the outside two inches are hammered either just get a piece of wood and slide it right in or maybe a rubber mat or just leave it alone which is probably what's really going to happen hot off the grill still smoking so she does all right everybody out of the way that's fine i'm working you asked for it so right out of the front i was gonna fill the tires on there taking a quick peek looks like the wiring harness is uh got some issues i don't know where the blue wire goes and what that did it's not doing anything right now uh i think i'm gonna go take a self tapper and one of those plastic uh body clamps and i'm gonna run that behind here i'm just gonna go clamp that one down i think the other side is the same way yeah same issue on the other side look they probably had headlights on the front maybe there was a front bumper on this that's the leaf spring perch i don't know i think there was some lights i don't see any holes up above they got you know that cyclops looking one in the center of it i don't know maybe there was something here that came down with a couple of lights maybe off those brackets right there now i'm gonna go tie those wires up and get them out of harm's way then we can put our wheels on let me throw some grease in that front end what do you think dry it's dry dry [Applause] wow the blue and the black maybe the pink i just can't and although i'd like to drive it out of here around that corner i do not trust myself with that gas and go and not go and trying to go little bits out of time without smashing into something i'm going to go through all the go go dolly's underneath the back of it and get it out into the main hallway [Music] [Music] uh shall we do a little cold starter we gotta put the power on you know we forward over forward all right a little bit of choke as it's cold see how she goes new battery too if you got brakes kinda turn the choke off oh that might be tight robert is racist wow i don't think this is how this was supposed to end but she's getting no fuel and just so you know they do not roll very good they do not like to be pushed see if we cannot flip it fork left over it's not exactly the best ground for this forklift either hopefully we don't get stuck so kind of thinking that float's stuck i'm gonna pop the fuel line off of there this is german fuel line for vw so it it's kind of like chinese fingers you pull on it gets tighter you gotta get it from the bottom and lift up on it i guess let's give her a little positive reinforcement and pop that back on give her a crank see that'll do it for us yeah so the float's stuck that was a pain does that keep doing that let's get that car back off there and figure out what happened what did it's dark out already so i don't know how kind of test ride we're gonna be able to do be able to see it'll be dark at least you can go see if it'll stay running reverse switch it forward yeah can you see ikea okay well we guys about to wait for a light boy is that foggy you can't see anything can you well again at least we can see that it does work guys i think that's going to kind of do it for us i've been running around yeah probably four or five days every day take it out spinning around the building a little bit run it through the woods and run through its paces it seems decent it seems also to me to run with the choke on a little bit or it's a little on the lean side that could be either the carb still has an issue or the crank seals are leaking which i probably should have done when i had it out but you know hindsight's 20 20. crank seals i'll show you what i'm talking about so on the bottom of the engine behind the the flywheel on the other side and the pulley on this side right where the engine case and the shaft comes out there's a seal on it used on a two-stroke it uses the bottom of the crankcase as a sealed unit it draws air fuel mixed into the bottom end and then from the bottom in it when the piston moves it moves it to the top of the piston and fires it and repeats itself well if it's leaking on the the ends of the crank it screws the mixture up causes it to run lean and not be consistent because it's leaking some of that charge out of the sides there so it's possibly what is happening with it too i'm going to keep running it uh i think we got more than enough on this video and uh i will probably get those ordered at some point i will do them it needs more love some other stuff should be taken care of new belts on it brakes are kind of iffy you hit them they slow you down they don't exactly lock it up but they'll slow you down that light's not hooked up in the front the sheet metal needs to be kind of banged around and straightened out but it is functional for what it is i'm going to continue to run it around the uh the shop here in the building maybe run a little errands i got cars parked out back for you know grabbing parts or whatever and until spring and then springtime i'll probably bring it to my house or the cabin and we'll use it for a bit of a utility car maybe put some you know rakes and shovels and that kind of thing in the back of it but for now we're gonna go call it i guess a win it does run and drive not perfect but uh it's decent top speed is probably 15 miles an hour i don't think they're powerhouses as they are anyway so with that thank you guys for hanging out with me now a little fun wrenching on old rusty junk and bringing stuff back to life see what makes them tick so we'll do it again soon all right all right guys i'll see you soon bye
