I got a '81 Honda xl185 and the speedometer started whining and spinning after hitting 35mph after decades of being unused. The odometer works though, so im not sure what to do. Any ideas?
Perfect, concise and to the point. If the rest of your vids are like this one you have a new subscrber. So tired of the vids where the guy screws around and explains a bunch of crap that doesn't matter or wants to tell his life story. I don't have 10 minutes to sit through a boring vid that doesnt show how to right off the bat. So thanks.
What kind of indestructainium are you using for your drill bits? Tried cobalt bits to do just that, immediately prior to taking this video, and absolutely trashed all of them and barely even scratched the shifter collet. By the way, got any tips for removing the bumper bolts from a M1008/M1009, you know the ones made of pure indestructainium, using something other than a oxyacetylene torch to melt them out or pure brute force to break them? Busted a 1/2" DeWalt ratchet and a couple 1/2"-3/8" adapters to bust 3 of the 6 bolts free, then the oxyacetylene torch came out. I have to do the same thing on another one before long.
@@lawnmowerrepairsandstuff3154 I used common nitride coated drill bits. As a Isuzu dealer tech, it was a divorced 1986-1988 Trooper gear box (All are 4X4's) but installed a double roll pin in shift forks and other areas as all are same size. I needed some Grade 8 all-thread and found a fastener retailer not far. After my purchase I asked about the heavy roll pins. He recommended them to everyone and had 12 sizes in stock. As far as penetrating oil, never used it in 42+ years, same with impact. I went for a breaker bar, cheater pipe and broke bolts loose. My choice is engine oil in all 3 oil cans. I avoid "Chineezium" because it breaks or doesn't work. I had 90% SnapOn tools and a set of MAC pullers from my brother in law hard up for money and in SnapOn tool box #3. I have some craftsmen stuff but for few jobs. SnapOn sold CP, Rigid, Mayhew, and other brands now found at McMaster-Carr! I was asked once about the speed of high-speed drill bits. The correct answer is faster than hand. So keep speed low at medium trigger. Cobalt, nitride and other heavy metals on the bottom line of the periodic table, are all deposited the same way. In a vacuum chamber, the negative charged tools are hanging with diatomaceous earth or ceramic coating parts for areas not to be covered. While a tiny hokey puck of the heavy metal is struck with a high voltage arc, vaporizing it. It deposits on the tool. Size, time, placement are all factors or good or cheap. This SAE standards or Chineezium. Best of luck! DK
Did any of these engines have a compression release valve, i bought a rototiller with a Wisconsin engine and by the exhaust their is a valve when turning over the engine it dont have much compression and its blowing air out that valve
@@lawnmowerrepairsandstuff3154 if it's the crankcase breather and it's blowing air just turning it over by hand would that mean their is a push rod stuck or needs piston rings
I had to have my PC100 end gun rebuilt for this exact issue. They installed new drive arm bearings because it was short stroking and not driving forward. I got it like that. The Nelson dealer i go to sometimes rebuilt it for me.
This one is an AEN, which is 9.2hp. There are many models, all of different horsepower, you'll just have to do a simple Google search to know the HP of yours. "Wisconsin (model) horsepower" should do it.
Did the arm bearings sieze? Looks like the arm got stuck and can't drive the gun forward. Nelson sells arm rebuild kits for the SR series of guns and I heard they're not too hard to install.
Please clean off your workbench....Its kind of distracting.. Watch the language..I can understand why you only had 2 comments for this video.And dont call viewers idiots..They come to you for help..Not to be called stupid...One other thing I did not subscribe!
Thanks for the video and the explanation. I am working on a 1969 Honda C102 (50cc) and Speedo doesn't work. Watching your video, I removed the front wheel and sure enough, as you described, the tabs on the pinion gear were splayed out and not in the slots in the wheel. I put the pinion gear in a vise and slowly bent the tabs back to 90-degree right angles and voila, the tabs now fit in the wheel hole slots properly and the speedo worm gear works properly to drive the speedo. Thank You!
No, but you can go to eBay and search for one, and if you don't find it you can push the "save search" button and eBay will send you an email when one pops up.
Yeah, if you have an additional $800 to spend on the valve body alone! After a crapload of fresh fluid at $9/quart I spent no more than $400 on the ENTIRE swap, including buying the transmission ($200 junkyard transmission, about $120 for fluid I think, and I could have cut switches down to about $15 if I wanted lighted plastic switches instead of sturdier metal, then $30 for a filter and pan gasket) There's a reason I specified *on a budget* for this video. I ended up actually swapping it back out for a TH400 because reverse was fried and for some reason it simply won't shift to 4th (4th worked for the first few test drives, but quit shortly after), so the 4L80E is currently sitting waiting for me to rebuild it and put it back in.
@@lawnmowerrepairsandstuff3154 hell yeah I hear that & I was just saying as I’m looking to do a crazy build on a Hummer H2 & just learned you can bout a Manuel Valve Body in those 4L80E’s but unless you want OD that TH400 is a good trans.
Damn you have some strong fingers brother! I own 135 chainsaws and two of my McCullochs are right hand pull starter models so I appreciate you showing us how you do it. I personally pull the spring tight and put two small tie wraps around it, drop it down in its home and put my hand over it so it doesn't come unraveled and slap the piss out of your face and snip the tie wraps with a small pair of dykes and pull them out! Because im a puss and don't have the finger strength that you do! I think that those little tie wraps are some of the best inventions ever made! And I have a box of springs that just one of those little bastards are holding them tight and have held that tension for close to five years on a few of them! Now that is impressive when you know what kind of tension those damn things have when wrapped tight now wouldn't you agree? 🦸♂️
I actually will. I am going to do a video on my first attempt at rebuilding the transmission, to show a genuine first impression on the difficulty level (since many have told me that it's far beyond my skill level). Reverse and 4th were non-functional and the torque converter was horrible. I swapped out the 4L80E for a TH400 about a week after this video. I tore into the 4L80E and found that multiple lip seals were toast and a few clutch friction plates and steels were kinda toasty, and the separator plate was in pretty rough shape around the check balls. It'll be getting all kinds of upgrades.
Sorry to hear about your truck. hope no-one was hurt. Good info on the shifter. thanks for sharing. Quick question. My old shifter broke in 1st gear. Installed replacement shifter. Now the truck is still in 1st, but the shifter won't come outta neutral. Can't grab any gears. With clutch in, eng. started, clutch in and out a couple times, it still won't find a gear. Only moves side ta side. Is there a way to line up the rail inside? Thanks for any replies.
Sorry for the late reply! That I wouldn't know, but you might try using a screwdriver or something to reach in there and get it lined up. I would jack up the rear end off the ground and then try to get things lined up in there with the engine turned off, that way there's no tension on anything. You might want an assistant to wiggle/turn the driveshaft to make it easier. Be safe, and good luck! Nobody was hurt in the wreck, thank you for your concern. I got out with a bruise, a few scratches on my left arm, and a mild case of whiplash. Pulled the engine by myself the next day and put it in my other truck.
@@lawnmowerrepairsandstuff3154 I was able to do exactly what you recommended. Pull the shift fork outta 1st, with a screwdriver, and put it in neutral. That did the trick. Can't believe the shifter will drop in, when its not aligned. Oh well, learn something new every day. Thanks for your reply.
Me too, that pin is harder than hard! Just mutilated normal bits instantly, mutilated cobalt bits almost as quickly. Chevy hardware (especially on the Military trucks and blazers) is nothing to mess with! 🤣
We use torco 50/50 nitro we start them with gas then flip to nitro biggest mod was ingnition you have to spark a gap of over .100 nitro fuel is less volatile to gas and nitro is almost or I should say it takes around 5 times as much nitro than gas not gonna go into chemistry lesson you can watch vids on making a internal combustion engine run on nitro a naturally aspirated engine
Good day from Ontario. Yes I was at a auction & bought wisconsin 7 hp ? It had been sitting a few yrs. Took it to truck & thought I would try it, it gave quite a jolt. Thanks
Them old Briggs crescent-moon coils (Briggs model F, Z-series like the Z and ZZ, Y-series like the Y and YY and several others) are pretty hot too! They'll light you up like a light bulb without a problem! These Wico mags aren't so bad as Chevy HEI or the Briggs crescent-moon mags, but they're pretty good and hot.
@@lawnmowerrepairsandstuff3154 Good day I watch alot of farm videos. The ones that have wis, motors all say they start right off, is that because they have such good spark. Thanks
Haven't run any of them long enough for the plugs to foul. Yes, I've done this with more than one. Ran about 5 gallons through my 1947 AEN for break-in with a Champion D16 (same as I've found in all of them that I've ever come across) and the plug got a little oily but it still hasn't fouled at all. Ran about 10 gallons through the BKN and the plug fouled, but that specific engine has a problem with fouling plugs regardless. It'll foul out within about 5 gallons of regular gasoline, even though it's tuned as well as possible and it's not real worn. Could be the points and condenser need replaced on the BKN.
You can email me at atoasterar@gmail.com or find me on Facebook as William Rasmussen with a profile picture of a Chevy 350 with upsidedown headers on a test stand, kinda copper colored.
Put a little over 40k miles on it after that with no problems whatsoever, then I got distracted for a second or two and rolled the ol' girl 3-1/2 times on August 29th. The transmission is going into another pickup as soon as I get another one, the engine already went into another pickup.
More than likely, yes. Many of these like to be run on 50-85% oil/diesel and the rest gas, rather than just oil and diesel though. I can get about 6 hours of run time at 2600rpm on a gallon of 90% oil 10% gas with my AEN.
Hello my friend. Great videos!! I have a Hobart 300 amp welder with a Wisconsin Twin that starts with a hand crank. Is there a starter that fits my engine or do I have to find an old starter/generator from a cub or some other tractor and use a belt? I do not know which engine I have off hand but I can look and add it when I get a chance. I have to say that Wisconsin twins and just Wisconsin engines have a powerful sound that is unlike any other engines I have heard. Kinda sounds like my XS650 bobber..lol
Some of them like the AENL SOMETIMES used an electric starter with gears. But I would say it's probably going to be easier to rig up an old generator/starter from a tractor or something of the likes instead of trying to find the flywheel and starter to fit. Probably a T series Wisconsin, THD, TJD, etc.
@@lawnmowerrepairsandstuff3154 Excellent! Thank you. I am going to look for an old cub or allis Chalmers generator starter and rig it with a belt so that it spins the motor and then turns into a generator when it is running.
Dude I've been having the same problem for a few months but today it wouldn't hold the gear in place any longer (Drive went to neutral) I thought it was the select lever spring mechanism that went out cause of wear and tear (it's an 04') but what you just presented in this vid it's a hell of a lot more than just worn springs and tensioners.
So, I see so many guys online saying, just spend the extra 30bucks or whatever on new headgaskets for your dirtbike or mower or you'll be sorry. Those old coppers can be annealed just fine and reused. If you have the triple ply head gaskets from a dirt bike, and it's in good shape, pretty sure if it's cleaned up, you can reuse it with copper coating as well. Those triple pply gaskets, everyone I've ever pulled is flat. No low spots or high spots, or indentations from the jug or head edges or bolt patterns where it was torqued. It's just flat. So why wouldn't u be able to reuse it? The more crush type washers with the o ring, those if the coating hasn't peeled off and stuck to the head or jug, if all surfaces are super clean, I think even those you could get away with. It's not ideal, but it does work, and can be just fine if done properly and the gasket is in good shape still. Imo of course. Just see 90% of people hell bent on no. Don't, won't wormm
Yeah, and many people say to buy all new paper gaskets as well. I have bout 3 sets of paper gaskets so far, and within 30 minutes of the engines being assembled and run they were all being pulled back apart because of the gaskets leaking so bad. I make my own paper gaskets, and I have found that I can reuse them 6-8 times each before they start to leak. Did experimenting on that. Commercial gaskets suck. I've even made my own paper head gaskets from regular cardboard and they're still in use today, and I made those a couple years ago!
I have that exact same one! Though it’s red, i can’t find a video on how to remove the rear sprocket on the axle though, it’s too big for my predator 212 there is no apparent way to take the wheel or sprocket off, any advice?
also, mine does not come with those wings on the side, nor a sprocket on the right wheel, i have one on the left though. Also wondering how to put a sprocket on the right one as well
WOW! I'd have to go out and look at how the lower sprockets come off, but it can't be too awful hard! Could you send me a friend request on FB? William Rasmussen with me riding a wheelie my Kawasaki bike (shown in another video I did on finding a spark plug problem), works at Kelly Bean with the position of "Certifies Professional F@ckerupper", I'd love to see pictures of yours! My p.hone doesn't receive pictures. lol I could easily help you with removing the sprocket with pictures if you like there!
Just for the regular 3GB PinePhone. DEFINITELY planning on getting the PPP soon, after I finish a few projects amounting to about $6k total! Extremely happy with the PP so far, I'm gonna upload another video on it shortly after using it for almost a year, and then you can decide from there!
