    guys update: a few weeks after this video was posted it broke my finger, got it caught on the output shaft somehow!

  • @lazycowvintagethriftdesign5595

    Great job! Back when I was your age we made go carts from ancient lawnmower engines. You might consider a fun project like that? I also loved the dead "red" 5S in the parts bin. It's not always an easy fix!

    The way he started it had to be the smoothest thing I’ve ever seen a person do

    Very Nice Job! If you think this thing smokes, you should see some of my engines lol! I had a Gravely tractor that burned so much oil it was low in 20 minutes and you couldn't even see the thing anymore. It was like a giant smokescreen! Lol! I like the way you start that one! If you can do that, you know it has low compression!

    • @WildfoxFabrication
      @WildfoxFabrication  Před 4 lety

      it’s actually got around 65psi compression, that’s why i wear gloves, because it hurts too much if i don’t!

      @@WildfoxFabrication Well 65 isn't that great but still more than I thought it would have! I do the same thing when starting my hit and miss model 9 by yanking on the flywheel. It can hurt after a couple of revolutions! I should see what the compression on that thing is lol. There isn't a piece on it that isn't completely worn out!

    • @WildfoxFabrication
      @WildfoxFabrication  Před 4 lety

      65 isn’t great by today’s standard but for a 2” bore it’s about normal and ya it starts to hurt

      Maybe just worn out intake valve guide that is causing the smoke. Have you checked the slop in the piston and valves?

    My son is 3 and just got his first engine. It’s a 5S. Glad your videos are up to help us work on it!

      @WildfoxFabrication  Před 3 lety +1

      not yet. as a matter of fact I haven't pulled it off the shelf in a while, I may go do that real quick and give it a 5 minute run or so just to keep everything lubed up

      Down to a Science Nice how much did you pay for this by the way? And also does it come complete my friends was missing the air cleaner gas tank is messed up carb is messed up he doesn’t have the right muffler needs new rings and needs the thing that the pull rope goes on and he’s probably to get honed but it does run

      Down to a Science I found one on FB marketplace for 35 bucks that has a good gas tank and carb and muffler and I found a set of piston rings on eBay and honing it shouldn’t be too big of a deal just need the thing for the pull rope and some decals

      It's stamped on the back of the flywheel, two digits in a little circle such as "54" or "51" etc
