WILL IT DRIVE? Clapped Out Daihatsu Mini Truck w/ Blown Engine

yeah yeah that filters junk anyway you want to get that out of our way too yeah i don't think coolant's supposed to be coming out of there that was easier than expected oh it's not too heavy anything i look disconnected or connected that's why they take it right feels like some who's still hanging with us all right we're cheating looking ahead of time nope it's free let's go over to the bench so it was leaking oof that that looks terrible huh that cylinder both is like all this almost like crap look at all the pitting in the top of the middle one though that i think that's a problem right there i'll get you in there hold on all right so that is what the cylinders look like yeah that's pretty that rough not much better [Music] that's been about 10 minutes they look pretty good they're dropping down a little bit i think it's just a gas evaporating so if i look in the ports you would normally see you know moisture kind of leaking down around them well now that we know that everything is pretty much a piece of crap what do you say we try putting it back together the best we can we'll clean up what we got and see if it at least run ah come on go go baby we got it i sure hope that camera was up and how about one last yahoo the next morning let's go see what she does that's kind of cooled off and airing out a little [Applause] [Music] let off the throttle and suck my bottle collapsed everything out of it i gotta run about three cylinders then maybe we try get fuel to the carb [Music] [Music] [Music] do [Music] i let off the throttle too much it just sucks all the fuel right out of the bottle hey guys how's it going hey we're going to continue on this mini truck i picked up with a really crappy engine in it and we're in the process of trying to resuscitate it so without further ado let's get into it all right so we got to run and got to rev which is the most important thing the other cylinders seem like they kicked in i think at this point maybe we'll try feeding some fuel to the carburetor and so you can get to run off the carb see what it does at an idle i'm not giving it you know much hope i think compression is going to go away at those rpms but let's just go see you know i don't want to condemn it uh until her ask you at that point but if you saw what those cylinders look like you'd be surprised that they actually ran it all so let's go get something set up on there and get some gas going to it well we've got a gas can set up on it clear line running down to the fuel pump i had no fuel pump the carburetor i have no idea whether that's any good or not we haven't taken any of that apart we should probably plug that vacuum leak i forget where that came off of i think i went to the fuel pump let's just go plug that for right now just see if we get anything my hope is that it kind of takes over and we'll run off the carburetor and then the next thing is that i want to see if it if it will idle that's probably what i'm trying to get to see if it'll run on those other cylinders and if it does that then we can kind of take a little further afterwards all right not much in the bottle let's go give her a little squirt a little prime probably just leave that right on there shouldn't hurt anything idle imagine that the robot seems to have calmed down a lot too still got some but not like it was oh all right i'm not getting too hot because i get no cooling system hooked up let's go shut that off i'm gonna go button up that carburetor and we'll throw the fans on i'll put the radiator and all that stuff back together we'll just see we get uh again we still could have coolant leaks going from the uh compression leaking into there but before i get it too hot and you know cause more damage like it did the first time let's uh button all that back up well with all that cylinder head damage i'm not sure whether that is going to seal we're just going to put water in it this is a tad cheaper so hopefully it'll fire up after you put this together and we'll we can let it come up to temperature i'm also curious whether it's going to idle or not my my feeling is two of the cylinders at an idle are going to drop out because your compression that could be high enough but possibly if we can turn the idle up to where all three of them stay running you know we can use it as is for now i also think if it cycles a couple of cycles the rings will kind of free themselves up from their their grooves i would call that full i wouldn't think this system takes too much i gotta burp itself out of there too yeah good enough for now all right let's go get set up to go fire it up and see if she starts on her own so on the left side of the machine i want to go kind of burp the lower radiator hose the water is pouring right out of the side in here when i had it apart there was two screws that went into the side of the block it looked like they were missing they just weren't there i didn't take them out but they're they weren't there um i have a feeling they belong in there i just i thought it was just for the dust cover on the inside uh maybe not either that or there's something else that's screwed inside there it's got water in it for now let's go fire it up like everything hooked back up and again you know we're just trying to get an assessment i really want to see if again water goes into the oil i check the oil level the oil levels to the full mark so if we start getting oil above the full mark we know it's going where it's not supposed to be going all right see if she starts up open the gas up i always suspect it's going to put up a fight but let's go see we're got a key on let's see it's got a metal wire for choke let's try doing that i don't know if you saw it i see it i found my mistake hold on [Laughter] that yeah there's your problem that's where your water is coming from not that it's obvious or anything you want to go put that on there and fill it back up all right the hole of an again we didn't count to that people idle yeah i don't think so i think it's i think the gas is overflowing too say that we might be out of we're out of gas it was overflowing carbs leaking so we got to go deal with that let's go piss that off for a second see if it'll go [Music] choke it it's actually amazed how well it runs i got to go get some gas back in the tank and uh oh i want to try to run for about 10 minutes out maybe i'll bring you back therefore it's going for a little bit very clipped off unfortunately that's not a good sign that's water getting mixed in with it that could be stuff that's already in the exhaust but i doubt it see we get [Applause] i always think that's probably cooling going into it but it might it might clear up probably won't but it might clear up so i figured out with that lever on the floor was for there's no idle stop on the carburetor that's why this would put on there so that's what that was doing so that was meatball to keep the engine running okay this next issue i have is the carb is flooding over it's running right out of the throat of the carburetor judging by the rotted out boot that's been doing it a while the bottom of this boot is rotted you see it dripping down through i'm going to try i don't know if the float is right inside here this is where the gas is coming in i'm going to take that banjo nut back off we'll take these three screws off see if there's a needle and see that we can kind of clean up and stop that from happening because right now when i'm doing all the i just keep pinching the fuel line at an idle i think what it's doing is flooding it out it can't keep up with it you know although it runs i don't think it's going to make any power it's probably the other problem you hear like when you rev the gas up the acceleration is very slow so even if we do get her going it's unfortunately i think it's going to be lethargic but i haven't given up yet apparently i get a kick of all the little stuff that's been done to try to mickey mouse it to keep it running you know between the running that wire up for a choke it's missing the uh the stops for the idle speed they're not even there they're gone so i don't know if somebody took it apart to repair it then it wouldn't idle and then they went they put that goofy thing on the pedal everybody thought it was for like a pto or something so did i you know they would keep the rpms up nope just just just a way to keep it running all right get the screw out of there first and that clip that i just lost yeah let's hopefully this has a float that we can work on get out of our way i'm gonna go try cleaning that up make that sew it functions correctly turns on and off this right now it's not me if the float wouldn't be sunk too you never know and they'll blow out that ball too that doesn't look terrible but it doesn't look great got some a couple of pollywogs floating around in the bottom there found the idle speed adjustment that hose right there this is on the lever there's screws on the other side though for i don't maybe for fast idle that they're not even there they're just missing i didn't see anything all that dirty with the needle took it apart it was clean on the inside pop it back until we get float's not sunk neither i'm gonna look right there we'll unclamp the fuel the bowl fill up and see if it continues to flood out could be something internally wrong with that carb too i don't know all that red stuff is underneath there like fabric or something oh that is see i'm talking about the rubbers all burned up on the on the boot like either that's been off for a long time or had a fire and it melted it or the fuel has been leaking back out of the carb like that for a long time and it rotted the boot away i don't know that looks like it's still doing it well i'll try firing it up again and uh see we get out of it and i just shut off it it was pouring gas out again you see all the how wet it is down below i'm gonna try taking that out and resetting the float level a little lower lock that float level down i don't think i think it's probably a car problem let's go fill it and see at what point it starts pouring through oh figure that's about where it would stay we should stay halfway up i'll let that sit for a minute i feel like it took a little bit i wonder if there's just like a passage that is uh like if it had an accelerator pump or something in it where the pump diaphragm or whatever is in there is rotted out and it's just allowing fuel to bypass it i think a rag and wipe that down huh see if it's getting wet yeah let me grab a rag i didn't see anything let's go broke there it goes so that's the level where it starts flowing over right there the thing is i don't see any port or anything up that high that causes it to do that if you guys can see it it's running out of the carb right now let's go see what level it goes down to if it goes down to a level that's you know ridiculous it goes down to like three quarters a an inch from the bottom there's something wrong with the carburetor so i'll let that do its thing find what level it goes to if not then the float adjustment will take care of it it seems to stop right at that level as good so i think the float tweaking it should do it let's go put that back together we'll try it again and all i did on the float itself i took a little tab and i bent the tab up a little bit so as the float comes up it shuts the needle off a little bit earlier and let's that level fuels that being up here be knocked down here a little bit that's more like it get the idle set float levels down a little bit so it's not flooding over popped off the coolant i put the cap on it let it pressurize see what we get seems like the exhaust has calmed down we'll see what happens as that runs a little bit too see if that steam starts increasing as the coolant pressure comes up let's check out that carb that's staying dry let's let that get up to temperature if if it works yeah it's getting there we'll let everything do its thing we'll see if the fan comes on and off then we can probably run it through the gears to see what the transmission is like we should be able to come on simply burning off all the water that leaked out over it that's just steam that always smells i like down the idol a little more it's about we're about two-thirds of the way up i don't know where it would come on take it right there so it's dropping a cylinder you want to folks to check all the lights and everything seems like they work i don't know if these are supposed to idle at anyway that sounds a little high i would think probably i don't know maybe 900 800 i think we're at it if i had the guests here we're probably at about 1200. [Music] i would think it would smoke like smoke oil smoke more than anything how bad those cylinders are could be maybe that's what it is exhaust won't rough pain came on at about whatever you see right there i love the light checking that out i wonder if one of these switches might have turned it okay we'll on it cycle a couple of times it's been running for about about 10 minutes now pop the breezer off soon blow by we're getting it's really not bad not like when it was first doing it huh well it's running muscle pop it in gear and let the transmission stuff kind of spin around a little huh i think it's gonna hurt reverse here third floor it'll be reversed i'm gonna put that lever the other way i don't see much of a difference between that that looks slower doesn't it so that little lever in the middle is high in low range we're trying to figure out what this was get the d to end and then nothing here so that's high range and this is low range and it's neutral in between we're gonna let it spin in gear for a little while so all the cooling parts move around how we doing for smoke clearing up pretty good here let's just let those cylinders polish themselves as best as possible i would never would have thought that engine was going to come back still don't know if we're gonna get water in the in the oil or anything yet but so far it's looking a little promising i'm gonna try turn the idle down some more i want to see if the uh it'll stop dropping cylinders at an idle we'll leave it there for a while you can kind of tell all of a sudden the engine will start shaking you know it starts skipping a beat right now it's still running on three be curious to see what the compression comes up to you know after it and look those cylinders were shocked too amazing yeah i'll keep letting it run and see we're getting the oil level it was right to the top of that looks like it's maintaining you haven't picked up any water that's a good sign also keep an eye on the cooling system too see if that starts to go down let's go slowly open that radiator cap and see what we got going on in there scared there's some pressure on it not terrible take a peek in there he's a little cloudy looking but i wouldn't say that's oil in there plus you know whatever got flushed through the system i'm sure that radiator wasn't exactly the cleanest good the probably going to do now i'm going to let her just cool down for a cycle and see how it restarts well i actually let it cool off for a few days and here we are now i was having a problem it would kind of run good restart then it wouldn't in fight you didn't have to go crank the crap out of it and get it to fire on one cylinder then it would idle and it would not idle so it's kind of dancing around what it likes to do so i'm gonna go take a little bit of a break from that we're just gonna do so a little bit more assessment on the rest of the truck and trying to get the rest of the truck uh at least to yard driving conditions no matter what engine it has in it it's still gonna need the rest of the stuff kind of functional so brake pedal goes to the floor the back tires are flat uh i want to look into the rear differential gear ratio because that may be a problem for us i put a piece of tape on the both tires and they're even the leaf spring let's just kind of mark i guess straight down where the drive shaft is maybe on this side mark is done and we'll spin it it'll give us a ratio an open differential so you got to kind of grab both tires and do it you know because if you literally could spin one tire and the other tire spin the other direction and nothing happens you know what i mean so let's go get her all right so we are right there even with leaf rings one two a three four five six and it is looking like so that's seven if i counted right and this one's not even there yet so it's a seven and a half so it's like seven and a half to one every time the drive shaft spins seven and a half times the tire goes around one that's a really stretched out gear ratio i can imagine what that ring gear and pinion look like size wise so whatever you hook to it if it really they could say a normal rear end out of cars like three to one and we're more than double that and the higher the one that's not a one goes three to one final you know what um the slower the vehicle is going to go for the same input so if you have a car and it does 100 miles an hour motorcycle does 100 miles an hour and it has a three to one ratio on the back and you put it in this your top speeds are going to be 50 45 50 miles an hour at full rpms so that's how we got to kind of thinking when we swap something around what we can do one thing i'm kind of thinking of kind of sucks though because even with the gold wing the offset is this way it would the shaft actually would line up i wonder if this has a if that's the high in the low range i wonder if we get a different output from output of the transmission into here it might be part of the trans i don't know but it looks like a transfer case doesn't it or the height and low range part of it so possibly if we were to break it here get rid of the transmission i don't know all right what else are we doing let's go um pop the back tires off of it because they suck see what's going on with those funky lug nuts yeah those funky lug nuts what do you think that one is doing up there it's kind of a i know a bolt with a spacer from a shock it looks like we'll find out i have to make one of the studs pulled and they got it threaded right into the drum that's a different setup huh another thing too we ain't got no brakes let's go take a quick look i don't know if you want to pull that drum off or not or should we just maybe try some shoving some brake fluid in it and see where and if it pisses out anywhere you got a couple of jack points that you can run screws in it'll push the drum off let's go see first of all if you can even find where's the reservoir for the brake pedal all right the pedal's there where a rod or something goes straight up vw bust it's under the dash i wonder if that's where it is go take a peek there it is right there okay anything in it let's climb up there looking pretty dry pretty muddy too is this like a sleeve that comes out right now it's got a bunch of crud looks like those two hoses right there now the two that fill up the mask let's just throw some fluid into we get [Applause] should piss out where it's got an issue right we think we have at least one of the two circuits nothing is right to the floor open them up see if you get a pedal if we don't get a pedal should squirt some fluid and mark it's territory let's see if anything's coming out anyway not maybe we'll start throwing a bleeder on it anything went on the floor no all right so you get a wrench back here in a bleeder and uh i got a little like power bleeder one-way check valve this was talking about it's just a piece of hose and that's a check valve so as you bleed the brakes allows fluid to go one direction in air to exit but when it goes to bow back the other direction a little door shuts inside of here so this is just going to go over the edge of the bleeder and crack the bleeder loose and pump the pedal a few times if we get anything uh sometimes this works sometimes it doesn't how good of a seal you get on the end of the 80 success rate you normally do the furthest wheel away it gets the most air out this got a weird system though it goes over to the right hand rear tire brake line goes over there first then the brake line runs across to this side a lot of times you got a t in the hose that goes down in the middle all right see if anything happens nothing says the master cylinder is any good neither i can't mess i'm going to take the bleeder right out of it make sure the bleeder is clear especially if you sit with no cap on it sometimes the tip of it gets all clogged the opening if it doesn't really happen especially when you're trying to bleed with like no pressure once you get pressure built up usually pushes through anything yeah i'm gonna go clean that up make sure the little port is doing what it's supposed to be doing i can't blow through it you know i was thinking but the engine set up why it's doing what it's doing i wonder it has like a governor system on it that is supposed to make it shut down at a certain rpm it also seems like we fire it up cold it's fine when you restarting when it's warm i don't know if when that backs off if the the how they're controlling that how they are are they governing are they shutting the carburetor down are they you know changing spark what what is it that they alter to get it to slow down i wonder if it kind of comes on from time to time when i'm trying to start it when it's hot it's just a brainstorming out loud so i don't want to pull that carburetor system apart and we'll do a compression test on it again that's clear now right yeah and uh see we get the numbers i'm not really expecting it to be uh recovered we we know it's junk but as if that seemed better the nozzle's right there was right there there we go she's peeing now so it's good for that one circuit i want to fill it back up with fluid too before i go any further screw yourself you start bleeding brakes you forget to add back to the reservoir and you run it dry all right all right i filled it back up and we're just gonna go crack it a little bit and we'll see if we can get a little bit more kind of want to push the old fluid out too i'm a one-man band so can't call somebody to pedal up and hold it sometimes it's good if you can get it with a little bit of pressure in it to get the air out of it it gives a little bit of zest behind it because sometimes the like a high part of a line high part of a line will have if you're going real slow the air just kind of stays there so fluid gets up and over the top of it but the air flows back to that top section you get a little bit of pressure behind it and it comes out with a little bit of a zest it you know forces along shot number two plus you can see how much air you're getting if you get bubbles in here like this all that air just came out of the system number three pedal's getting higher then one more and then we'll probably jump over to the front yeah looking pretty good i think we have the rear circuit in front not so much you know to the front it's not locked up yet good sign all right let's go get that bleeder set up on this one do the same thing you know what's better about the front brakes you sit here pump it up leave it by yourself other side might be a little bit more difficult and this side is not bad pedal's getting pretty good push that mud out it's not even a bad idea to bleed your brakes in general just to change out the fluid as it takes in moisture over time it um gets contaminated and it starts taking out the it allows the components to rust and then the rubber gets deteriorated with the master cylinder and the wheel cylinders get a bunch of rust in them see how bad that was coming out of there it's getting worse instead of better so that's all the crap that's in the lines and probably in the master cylinder i want to cop that up top that up so like that color that you might see might even like that deterioration of the rubber too that's mud coming out of there so so so there you go that last one looked pretty good plus i could see it in line right here it's getting much clearer so i'm happy with this side let's go see the brakes work yeah good pedal's still a little mushy but we got the other side to do yet unfortunately i was gonna be a little more tricky because they can't reach across on a vw bus you could the bar comes out from underneath it you literally stand in the middle of the bus underneath and grab the bottom of the brake pedal and bleed brush both sides that was the brake fluid that came out of the front yeah she's a little past her due date i'd say but we got pedal the thing is you're saying to yourself what you can do about wheels man those tires in the back what the heck is going on with that i got a plan by using a keen eye scrounging the old internet i came up with four and a half new wheels that are off a mazda rx-7 i think it's 78 to 86 has the 110 volt 110 millimeter bolt pattern on them that fits this that's what the two front rims were that were on it already so i looked them up say well they fit i'll get more so i grab those the tires have 300 miles on them i haven't seen cracking or anything i don't know how old they are but they look quite decent so let's go slap them back on there and that would definitely make a a roller and a stopper so the old one was a 175 this is a 185 a little bit bigger who knows what it's going to do when the suspension comes down looks pretty good though closest it comes is right there by about a half inch but this is just you know moldable by hand let's take a quick peek you can see we offer clearances just concerned about right here yeah you going to turns and stuff that does get a little bit of leaning to it it's got a good fingers width a little more half inch maybe that shouldn't be an issue let's see what the about that this is a stock tire it's just one size down about the same thing the original tires are puny 12 inch rims this is a rear and try putting that wheel on i'm not having it i'm looking at the studs they're all kind of displayed inward let's see if we can make a little adjustment i don't know what they planned on running with this thing but those are some deep ass padoolies on it yeah i just need a couple kicks in the right spot i've got a lot of rust nice and clean i say it looks a little bit more presentable probably take some dents out of that front wheel lip it looks like he's doing so much of a backwards wheelie plus is off the lift too and there's no weight in it you know it's meant to kind of crush down a little bit that looks pretty good so we got brakes it can roll transmission works shifts clutch works lights work engine kind of works uh so i guess you got to try to come to a conclusion with what is happening with this so let's go put some gas in that bottle again it's been a couple of days since it's been run we'll hook dropper cables up to it and give it a fire see what it does and see what we uh what direction we decided to go all right cold start and key on this is our choke see if we hit the gas pedal that battery's dead too [Laughter] it's back to its old tricks that's what i'm afraid of just doesn't have it i need the jumper pack with the charger rather let's go a little bit more spunk to it work that gas pedal all right let's see where it is on the smoke spectrum of things it's not terrible when it's cold i don't think you know put some straight 50 weight you know probably wouldn't hurt either can't die on us and dead and it starts flooding over again so that's why i died all right i gotta go pinch off that fuel source why does that do that does that float chamber like holding a vacuum and it's going down i don't see anything about the float i don't see anything about the needle so that's definitely causing us a run issue of some sort wait you think so now that carb is flooding over but i really don't know if the carb is the actual issue it may be that something is telling the carburetor to do just that i'm just marking a bunch of stuff now i take it off with different dots so i know roughly what vacuum hoses went to what and uh we can call them like that's mr three dot i'll put three dots on that one and so on anyway it's got a uh coolant passage which i think are these heavy hoses right which ones are they these right here this this one and i think another one so i think coolant flows in and out maybe that's a preheat it just seems like either vacuum goes into there and and tells the carburetor it draws too much or starts creating a vacuum that draws a bunch of fuel into the flow ball i don't know what's happening so without further ado i just say we go and start taking stuff apart we'll get that carburetor right out of there we'll look at it on a bench and we'll see if anything kind of stands out as far as what's going on with it kind of just educate ourselves how this thing works maybe we could find that there's a an issue but one way or another we got to get rid of this thing flooding itself over so top bolt was right there easy to get to and then the bottom one and then allen bolt goes through the center of it trying to figure out where they hit it you know enough we got it's it funky setup it's like a bullet are we free anything else connected looks like it's on a stud come on one fuel line connected to it some kind of line some kind of hose that one right there so so what is all this oh i don't know if it's going to show up in the mirror but whatever this hose is is rotted right off of wherever it went i don't know if that's plugged or just corroded from whatever this thing is not looking too good yeah this is just blocked off her something happened to it over time i don't know like this is like a preheat i thought coolant went through that and kind of warmed the manifold up like on a volkswagen they they run the exhaust through it i don't know if that's the same scenario for that i don't know if that's a cooling line or not it's tapped into the same as whatever this is and this looks like it's got water coming out of it right yeah that's a coolant line that's a coolant line and it's got to be returns on the other end that's probably this is the other side of it right there so that would feed one way in one way out it's probably supposed to go through that and it's not because it's not even connected and it's rotted out but let's go look at the carburetor on the bench all right odd contraption seems like an awful lot of crap to do a very little bit of work i also think when i was running it spit out some kind of red nest in the flywheel that's all this red crap that's popping out everywhere so it looks like coolant goes in here probably worked some of the choke and where did it exit this is the top right yeah so that's how it was in the in the truck so one there and out there see a flow passage through there uh and then we had my guess is that something is causing vacuum to make it so that the float starts drawing fuel and i don't know what that's gonna be let's take some stuff apart a little bit see if anything makes sense to us so i do see some more big chunks of dirt gravel coming out of it possibility that's getting flooded out again i don't think so let's go see if we see any kind of dirt on that needle of course it went the wrong way let's clean down in the center i don't see anything on the needle not ruling that out that's the problem but i'm just it doesn't seem right doesn't seem like that's what the issue is let's go i would think that's an accelerator pump when you give it the gas it shoots fuel down so let's go give all right my throttle is where this side yeah so that that's going to be an accelerator pump which will have a diaphragm in it because you can pop that off of there so foreign so still pliable that would squirt fuel into the carb i believe this is going to be an idle shutoff so this has a solenoid or a plunger inside of it you put power to it fires and opens a passage for fuel to get through yeah it goes right across that's the main fuel in and it looks like somebody has pinched it it's crushed i don't know if you can see it somebody crushed it so it's drawn back and crushed down so this has been disabled and not hooked up i cut the wires on that it was hardwired without a connector in between it and i would think this one probably along the same lines and that one's the same scenario it doesn't look it's hard to say whether the center that's clogged or not side ports look okay and what you can do is you can actually just hook this up to a battery ground that out and tap this you'll you'll hear it fire back and forth i'm not sure if that's clogged or not we'll look at that later uh what else we got to take apart let's go see what is inside there and there it's just a open port this might be something like uh slow the idle down when you're coming up off idle or going down idle rather where it doesn't just kind of slam it kind of decelerates it slowly i'm not sure why that though it's got an adjustment screw in the middle looks like is it hooked to the choke yeah so that's hook to the chokes that's a vacuum pull off for the choke and it's got a temperature so it's got it looks like as the coolant warms up flows through it tells the choke to turn off and then it's also got a vacuum to turn the choke off so why is it flooding over when it's running and all of a sudden it just starts dumping fuel out of itself what is causing that to flood like that i guess we could try just disassembling the rest of it and putting it in the cleaner and see what we get i also kind of wonder so the the four wheeler carb came in that we were gonna go put on the for those you didn't see on the honda four-wheeler i ordered this carp for it and i don't know they're pretty close as far as the amount of volume this one's actually larger if anything the amount of volume that goes through i wonder if looks like physically you'll take up about the same amount of room and throttle cable would be that can come out of there it's just a vacuum hose all right so that could be a throttle cable and then for a choke these run that little enrichment cable thing on the side of it this would be fueled in and what is that primer it's probably a primer for it i wonder if we can make a manifold up that would just bolt to those two bolt holes and kind of do away with this nonsense the other thing is the other engines this engine is so cooked how much effort do i want to put into it but i don't know maybe we can make a manifold up to it we'll just hook a fuel line up and try it see if it performs better running something like this then that whole conglomeration especially that has that rotted out holes underneath and possibly you can fix that and the problems go away but i'm kind of doubting it seems very over complicated all right let's go see if we can come up with possibly going this route so i dug up a piece of radiator hose seems like that should fit on there and i found a bushing it's roughly the same size you can make this the side that bolts to there and we'll get a metal plate we're going to clear the bolt holes yeah so i think if we make a a metal plate and drill it out we could bolt it to the intake manifold we'll punch that bushing out of there and it'll just be like that with the rubber in between matching it you think yes no maybe let's give it a shot watch those so [Music] [Laughter] [Music] so [Music] so now we have hooked up is a fuel line no throttle no no not no choke we can work the throttle by hand and i'm going to give it a little nectar of the dinosaurs to prime it see if that helps us at all all right time with the present let's see what we get ah [Laughter] how to turn off doing good but coolant is pouring out of one of these hoses i am going to go tap both of those together and let just put a piece of pipe in between them so it kind of does the flow that it's supposed to sound good though huh once it went i just shoved the bolt in it [Laughter] might want to plug that one too [Laughter] just saying [Music] [Music] all right third time's a try [Laughter] tell me where the noise is coming from i didn't know where it was coming from these speakers i'm like this got a horrible intake leak no it's a speaker so cold right yet an idle speed under it and knock her down a little i don't know what i got for vacuum hoses hooked up what goes to where that's too much yeah i don't want to have hooked up to what for vacuum you know as far as the distributor and all i don't think it's correct [Music] let's go choke it a little i'm gonna warm up a little let it run and open the door and we'll see what it does for smoke now with different carburetor again it's smoking pretty good you think would have a ton of blow-by none even on the other hose that's the one that's like the pvc [Music] cool let it warm up here we get getting about halfway up to temptation i keep bumping the idle down a little bit more and more it does not like to take throttle so though a little on the lean side i would say again without trying to figure out how to wire what vacuum hoses to what and what's kind of that may be causing some of the problem plus the rest of the air cleaner is not in the circuit you know it's just a carb direct so when you put the boot on then the restriction of the air filter enriches it also hard to believe it's that same crappy engine that we had a part huh to make sure the fan still kicked on we're at about halfway up i got to handle pretty low try giving us some gassy we get it somewhere [Music] hey you really got to kind of feather it on the bottom end the ozone carpet have a accelerator pump which when you hit the gas it shoots raw fuel into the cylinder to help it kind of catch up this car doesn't have that should be coming on in a second about where it comes on i just want to make sure those wires that were disconnected off the carburetor didn't have anything to do with the feedback i don't think so i think he's going to have a temp switch probably on the radiator or water gets up to a certain temp it'll just kick on so let's see how low it'll go before it stalls so he amazes me runs just working but it doesn't like when the fan comes on i don't know if it's so much draw that it kind of stalls out the uh alternator logos on it and kind of stalls the engine out at a lower rpm [Applause] i jumped ahead and got a bunch of stuff knocked out we now have a gas pedal we have a choke cables around here i've mounted it yet the intake boot is set up made an air cleaner for it took everything apart and just checked over everything i did pull the front cover off on the timing belt double check the marks make sure nothing was leaking pulled the valve cover readjusted the valves and set it oh made a crossover for that that cooling pipe that i had blocked off just tied both sides of that together and got rid of the remote starter switch we should be able to crank from the key so let's go uh fire it up see what it does so it's pretty much almost a cold start i guess uh let's try it maybe with no choke and if we need it we'll add it to it i got a little cranky he liked to choke backing off sounds quieter too it's not so tappy let's keep it idle sounds pretty good huh can't go down that low so i have to let it warm up with the choke i guess like you normally would i don't think it gives it any throttle i think it's just a joke enrichment same idea hit the gas pedal a couple times so and that's why you test things throttle sticking run nice just letting it get up to temperature i want to see what happens when the fan kicks on and if i try any more lower of an idle than that it falls on its face and dies the carb does have an air fuel mix it's right under the carb you could back it out and richen up the idle part of the circuit a little bit i think might help it because as soon as you just give it a little bit of choke it fires right back up again but for now we're just gonna kind of move forward follow steam burning off the radiator i refilled the cooling system he wants to live okay any second now let that knock the wire off or something that i disconnected from the carburetor come on baby there we go pretty good see how it fires right back up if it does if you grab it give her a little bit of this fire's right up i can work with that we're gonna need something to sit on we got porsche 911 flood seats and we got rv seats um [Music] it's the jumbo version had to go take the armrest off the left hand side make a little bit more [Applause] pun intended elbow room for the seat to fit in there it's just sitting there nothing holding it what can go wrong right so [Music] [Music] [Music] so all right we're in low range see what it does the speedometer doesn't work that's tough that's fourth gear i think it has a fifth let's see tire's rubbing a little that's reverse all right let's go try high range hold on so oh so [Music] so [Music] that's it well guys i think we're gonna go bring this one to an end we got it to the point we wanted to get it we gotta sit with yard drives woods drives all the gears work high range low range works brakes work cooling system's doing what it should charging system it actually runs on all three you got to keep the rpms up other than that you know it'll fall in space if you block it a little bit but keep it revving it seems like it's fine you run it through the gears it made me the way they are naturally again it's the only one i've ever driven so i don't have much of an opinion one way or another it's pretty cool a little bit of clearance around the front tires you can see that one's rubbing on that that wheel well right there in the front a little customization with a hammer so that she's like she's doing pretty good i'm amazed i never would have thought this thing would have come back to life after we saw the condition of that engine and what it was in but for now guys i think we're gonna call and thank you all for handing me doing some wretching and we're getting something else pretty cool i guess probably on the next one until then i'll see you bye
