Hi, thanks for your video. I notice that it seemed to take quite some time before water actually started flowing - do you know why that is? Is there some sort of clutch between the engine and the pump that engages because it seems unlikely that it takes that long to fill that short intake pipe. The reason I ask is we are using a new pump which we tested OK a few weeks ago and when we retried it today - no suction, no output. Taking the pump cover off - the impeller spins freely on its shaft, but should it? Shouldn't the impeller be directly attached to the engine? Thanks in anticipation. Greg
Hi Greg, not sure I understand the impeller part. the impeller will turn as soon as the engine starts, the RPM will increase as you give more power to the engine. Because the impeller is made to suck water rather than air which has a lower density, it take a while before all that air is eliminated from the intake pipe. Also because of density difference, the second the water hits the impellor, the engine "goes under load" and you hear the rpm drop.
@@photographiedynamic Hi thanks for your reply. My problem is solved now, it was a mixture of a small invisible split in the intake pipe and no rubber sealing washer on the input. But we had lost faith in the pump because of our lack of experience and knowledge. I took it apart to find out what could be wrong. When I found the impeller was spinning separate from the engine I feared the worst unless there was some sort of clutch. So it was that information I was seeking. I separated the pump completely from the engine and revealed a centrifugal clutch - so that when the motor gets up to speed the clutch engages. Thanks for your interest though.
@@gregmccawley2327 Thank you for sharing this! I hope you made a video of your findings. Otherwise even then info you wrote will sure help the community!

I have one of these. My question: How much gear oil is required. I filled it up a lot. 80W90. I did replace the old 1973 vintage B&S engine with an old Tecumseh engine drop in replacement. I just had to get an air cleaner kit because the engine came from a snow thrower which doesn't have an air cleaner.
battery charges when you run generator. Alternatively its a good idea to buy a 12v charger, plug and charge battery every 3 months or less. Replace batter in 7-10 years.
You got the money and the time and the skill that is pure adrenaline I had a friend that had one and there's nothing more fun than blasting that when you have flat water it is an absolute ball
Unfortunately not! Compressor is dead and not worth replacing. However it was very easy to connect the 3 in 1 and try. That explains why all the components gave good reading except for the compressor which was twice the resistance across two of the terminals.
Hello, make sure your instructions says so before turning. Some models are different. For example, I have seen some which has a tab that you remove, then move up or down and then replace the tab. If it's through turning then you should be able to turn and hear/feel a clicking.
Merci beaucoup, this was exactly what I needed to fix my trashcan! Not sure if it was squirrels or rats, but something chewed a 2" hole in the top lip of my garbage can. Even nicer, the trash can is the exact shade of green that the Bondo glass is, so it's hard to even see the patch now.
Thanks for the video. Amazing that my 2023 Rogue which I got in February is empty 3 months later. And no warning signal from the dashboard. So strange!
Please i need help I turn on my pump but it doesnt want to draw water from the extraction hose It gets only water from the bowl where i put water I checked the hose, its alright, its not blocked nowhere Please help
If you fill it up with water and it's not sucking water, there is a leak somewhere in the system. If the hose is not damaged, check the connection. If the connection is air tight then check the casing. Mine the casing had a crack, very small, but that resulted in air being sucked in and water wasn't moving in the hose. Oh and make sure the suctions hose is designed for sucking and not soft hose.
No! it can suck a height of about 7.5 meters, and it can push water up to 25 meters in height. But when you go to extremes, the amount of water being delivered in reduced. To suck from deep water table, you need a well pump.
Hi, I'm from Iran. Thank you very much for making this video. I wanted to buy one of these but I didn't know how to use it. It helped me a lot. Thank you.
This is a great instructional video! I have a couple rental properties where the squirrels chew holes on the lids of the bin yearly. I used to just replace them but at $95 each, it’s gets quite costly. I’m going to try to tomorrow! Quick question, I have the all-purpose Bondo, how important is it that I use the fiberglass one? Thanks so much!
Happy to do so! When I noticed this issue, I had to make a video out of it and put it on youtube, I knew people would run into this issue. Imagine how common it is during ice and snow, half the time hood doesn't close properly during winter...
I never comment but dude thanks. Been riding with this engine for years and never knew certain things. Especially with the reverse! I used to turn 180 degrees because i thought it had no reverse. That’s so convenient
Nice video!! I used it to build my bbq. Just a question. Is it normal have a gape whit a small iron mesh where we attach the regulator?? Its my first bbq and I don't know if it's normal. To me, I guess it will leak gas here.
I did exactly that today....accidentally inverted the polarity 😮 My inverter is different than the one you show and has a fuse in the positive lead. The fuse is a 200 Amp fuse, not like the mini fuse shown in your video. It looks okay but maybe there are a couple more fuses inside the body of the inverter. Thank you for this video. It provides me with the guidance and any extra steps that I may need to take.
I really hope that yours is a newer model and they designed with a serviceable fuse outside the box. Hopefully by replacing the fuse on the lead it solves your issue.
@photographiedynamic because I'm travelling for another 4 weeks, I decided to just buy a new inverter and fix the broken one when I get home. I broke and now have a newer model, Everstart Maxx 1000 watt modified sine wave inverter. I found another video that shows exactly how to fix it, too. I'm more educated about inverters than I ever thought I would have to be!!! 🙌😀
@@NomadJan one more thing to understand about inverters: "Modified sine wave inverters are cheaper but their efficiency is only good enough for non-delicate devices. On the other hand, pure sine wave inverters are the most costly but they can power up all home and delicate appliances as efficiently and as safely as a home or office outlet could."
@photographiedynamic thank you, I do realize that but I don't have the budget right now. I'd rather go without one at all before spending my travelling budget. I'll get a pure sine inverter another time.
hi there, i have this tiller and i want to ask you whats the part numbers for the gaskets i want to try to replace them cuz it doesnt start anymore, thank you
Hello, no I never flush my motor as I use it in fresh water. However if you use in in salt water, it might be a good idea to fill up a deep bucket with fresh water and dip the foot of the motor in and out a few times to eliminate salts.
