- I'm continuing to try my hand at getting some old engines running that were my fathers many years ago and are now stored in my mancave. Just recently by request from my son, I located the old 2 cylinder Maytag washing Machine motor that my Dad had and was one of his favorite engines. After some tinkering and cleaning of all the parts I got the motor fired up and it runs pretty darn good for such an old motor. Here is a look at this old motor and watch me me get it running.

I grew up in N.E. Ohio close to an Amish community. My brothers and I would travel there and pick up broken Maytag washing machine engines. We would repair them and use them on go carts we made. Great little smooth running engines.
My Grandfather had one mounted on a go kart for us Grand Children.
Grampa left me this exact model, haven't heard it running yet. 12 years of collecting dust. Think I know what the next project is...
Thanks for the inspiration. Think I'll make a can crusher attachment !
Cool little motor. Collectors item.
That is SOOOO COOL!! I've never seen a motor like that before.
So cool and it runs so well . Old motor vids are great . Really enjoy them . Thanks ~ Butch
I Love these old motor Vids ! Keep 'em coming ! Take Care and Be Safe Bro !
now that's just too cool Ken, thanks for showing.
I'm sure you know that while the kicker is down,the starter clutch is wearing. You need a screen door spring. Thats a sweet little motor.
Thanks, I'll be sure to add a spring!
Actually its not.. if it is it will make a clicking noise. I have several single and twin maytags plus a washer
A first time for me to see one running thanks for sharing
My ol-lady says would love doing her washing with this. If she can't being riding her "HOG" this is the next best thing.
dude that thing is awsome!
Now that is cool! Never new these existed.
hi there im frank from perth australia do want to seel the motor

Awesome engine
It would be pretty cool mounted on a three-wheel bicycle
Love them old machines especially when someone's got them back up & running 😁😊😀. Keep up the👍 work👍.

ol greybeard dino
; - ) >
Very cool engine
That's neater than hell. If they washed in the basement did they run a pipe off the exhaust to the outside? My grandpa used to say " I ain't had this much fun since mom got her tit caught in the wringer " lol
jmwnycprr, 😂. Your grandpa sounds like he was a character. Lol
Hahahahahahahahahaha
Pretty cool.
Just awesome.That had to be used outdoors.Could you imagine how that would go over in a house where a group was gathered to watch the super bowl? LOL Never in my life have I seen such.Had no clue.I guess some of us don't remember things like those retirees.LOL
There was a hose you attached to the exhaust
beautiful maytag brazil
The correct gas to oil is 16 : 1
yep that is kool, guess those were for the rich folk back-n-the-day lol everybody else had the old wringer, it's always a pleasure to see someone keep things such as that, that's been kept in the family for years & kept running, to bad they don't make car motors simple any more lol
Now that's cool Buddy ! Cool to see ya messing with these old engines. I guess the high speed is for the spin cycle...LOL JK.
that spot you put the valve on is actually right where the governor sits
You're missing the return spring and cover for the kick start.
I know, I can't seem to find one but I am always looking. This was my Dad's so I don't think he had those parts.
Fantástico.
I have one but can only get it to run on one cylinder with one spark plug out grounded to the motor, any help. Thanks
I wish I could be more helpful. I never had to pull the flywheel off this motor so I'm not sure how the coil is set up. Try putting new wires on if possible, that might help.
Thanks for sharing your videos. Daft question. Where's the fuel tank on these?
The whole bottom is the fuel tank, very unique design. Thanks so much for watching.
you think you can turn it into a belt grinder?

That is cool never new they had gas powered washing machines that's cool man. Now put it on the back of a go cart how fast you think it would go lol.
I'm sorry lmao but did anyone else see the subtitles in the video!? Lol "nigga just imagine ah lady generated or walk went out going up the little motor" omg I pissed myself 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂❤
👍
cool
So approximately what is the horsepower rating ?
About 5/8 Hp
IS IT NEED FUEL??
Awesome, Can't you put a alternator on it and charge batteries!
1937 was the 1st year production of the twin cylinder maytag... not the twenties as you say. Just fyi
Thanks! I had no idea when this engine was made and used. I appreciate the correction.
I'm looking for a small engine like this one. Can somebody help please....
@@billyrey9679 How can I get it? How much are selling it?
@@billyrey9679 Is it running?
@@billyrey9679 I'll get in touch.
@@billyrey9679 I'm in East Africa: Tanzania.
Que combustivel é usado no motor maytag
il na pas de gaz il marche avec quoi
I am glad we don't wash with gasoline powered Maytag washing machines. I shudder to think what we would happen to the air quality on a Saturday wash day in suburbia if everyone did wash this way. Electric much better
I wonder if when even after washing your clothes they would still smell like 2-stroke exhaust smoke.
I wish someone would upload a video of the old Maytag running and just shut the hell up and let the motor do the talking.
Why don't you
