Mastering The Manual Tire Changer: Top Tips After 1 Year Of Use.
If you have a manual tire changer or are thinking of getting one and want to know more about them, here's my manual tire changer one year update with some thoughts & tips I've learned along the way.
With 30 tires and counting now, this little manual tire changer with the very popular duckhead modification attachment has been one of the most useful little shop tools I've purchased in a long time. It has paid for itself along with all the other accessories and consumables several times over never mind the time it has saved. With that said, it does take a little practice to get both proficient and efficient using it. Hopefully these tips will help you shorten your own learning curve and save you from making a few mistakes along the way.
The convenience of being able to perform your own tire services at home along with that wonderful DIY feeling of being totally self reliant is hard to overstate :) No more tire shop wheel damage, no more tire shop needless & costly upsells, no more tire substitutions all while working at your own pace and being as detailed oriented as you wish.

      Not well. The grass all gathers and clumps badly on the discharge/outlet side of the deck (the right side on this specific deck). With wet grass/long grass, it will actually clog that side of the deck up so badly without the mulching diverter, the belt will actually start slipping on the blade spindle pully (at least on this machine it does).

    The reason to do lash just past TDC is to ensure that you aren't doing lash on the compression release. Just past TDC is the beginning of the power stroke. Both valves better be closed at that point.

    Spot on on the balancing. For me personally, it's not worth the money to buy a balancer. It would just end up being more of a headache. I'd be removing wheels to clean or rebalancing them every month. I deal with a lot of deep mud, a little deep snow, and some ice. So, I use airsoft BBs as balance beads. If I get a wheel full of mud during a recovery, when I get back to good road the BBs move around in the tire to rebalance the extra weight....

    I saw a video where the mechanic said that the valves being out of adjustment puts a load on the decompression mechanism and recommended to adjust the valves yearly. It starts at 45 seconds and ends at 90 seconds. czcams.com/video/ymLR4Jy2jEM/video.html

    • @Rchelicopterfun
      @Rchelicopterfun Před 8 dny

      The best solution that has been offered in the comments by a power equipment shop owner who has done many of these is to round the back edge of the decompression pin. He is convinced this is the final fix and has never had a single decompression failure after this simple mod on OE and aftermarket cams alike. It makes perfect sense that this mod would solve the issue so the tappet doesn't slam against the pin when the engine bounces backwards when stopping (compression bounce). It's also likely why there is fairly good evidence that leaving the PTO engaged (blades engaged) when turning off the engine seems to help as their rotating inertia prevents the engine from bounce back when stopping. He sent this pin rounding mod procedure to B&S in hopes it would be implemented on new cams or at minimum a tech bulletin - crickets. By the way, my valve lash was in specified adjustment as you saw, and the pin still broke so not to sure if having correct valve adjustment has much impact (no pun intended). It of course never hurts to keep them in adjustment in the off chance it actually helps a bit.

      I personally think the boat set sail to that final destination many years ago, and this poor compression release design is one of correlation and not causation. Regardless, the end result is the same... The consumers and Briggs workers are the ones to pay for the bad decisions of poor management who prioritize profit over all else.

    Great video thanks from the uk. I think I’m just about to order one. I use microbeast which I can set up in 5 minutes without a pc but I want to learn inverted btw. Cheers

      Sorry, but the H1 won't teach anyone how to fly inverted. It will only make your regular flying worse. Stick with the Beast (it flies much better than the H1 ever will), and learn your inverted orientations, first on the simulator and then apply those skills out at the field. I cover inverted progression skills (actually Bert does) on day 11 "How to Fly Helicopter Aerobatics in the flight school section of my website: www.rchelicopterfun.com/how-to-fly-3d-helicopter.html If you need electronic help aids, then get a FBL system that has inverted rescue auto-level such as the Ikon. The H1 won't work as a rescue system, it will likely crash.
