In "Blademan & Throttle Meet The Human Shop Rag", Taryl receives this English-made Suffolk Super Colt engine from a friend and tries to get it running. It's English so we don't really have any parts for it, anything we need will have to be sent to us from across the big pond. But good thing Taryl has friends in high places (Mick from Mick's Mowers) to help on the quest to get this thing running. Will it run??
Prior to and after the fix, Podunk superheroes Blademan & Throttle are sent on a wild goose chase before having $cammer's latest "The Human Shop Rag" attack them. Can they defeat this half man half shop rag and save Podunk from obliteration?! Check it out here for the full story... and as always... There's Your Dinner!!

@TarylFixesAll 3 года назад

It took us awhile to put this engine video together, I think we started the video in maybe early March and just finished getting the engine running last Wednesday. But I have to say I had fun getting this engine running and was really surprised at how well it ran and didn't smoke. Pat who owns the engine doesn't have the rest of the mower and I figured that the engine probably came off a Super Colt from Canada. Seeing how Canada is a British commonwealth and close to the U.S. I suggested to Pat that we put it on a mini bike. What do you think Grassrats? Mini bike?

@alasdair4161 3 года назад

We used to make go karts and mini bikes with those engines back in the 70's and 80's, in Australia they were very common prizes from the local tip and sidewalk trash collection days. The benefits were having a horizontal crank with a clutch, some had a manual cone clutch others had centrifugal, and the drive chains were bicycle pitch making final drive easy. they are great little engines that would take all sorts of abuse. We'd also hot them up by max porting the block, shave the head (with sandpaper) and put a straight pipe on the exhaust. I still have a few buried in the shed, and have another on a 1960's concrete mixer that still runs regularly. Mini bike is a must.. Cheers from Tasmania...

I'm glad someone's finally giving the WD-40 tribe some long-overdue guff. It's amazing how many people have successfully used it as a lubricant instead of a "water displacer". They'd be out of business if displacing water was its only job. Recently I learned on Franlab that WD-40 was actually designed to keep condensation ice from sticking to cold rocket bodies on liftoff. But as we all know, it works great for many other things as well.

@douglasengle2704 Год назад

Just think of the world chaos that might result if the human Shoprag, the Choker and other villains of small engines and the people that help them were to win against the dynamic dual of Blademan and Throttle! The world might cease its ability to support life as we know it, with grass overgrowing and shortly overtaken with evasive jungle! The western Amazon basin is has evidence and reports from Spanish or Portuguese explores from hundreds of years ago of supporting a large agricultural society with soil grown from charcoal treatment to support crops. Now look at it! Nothing, but overgrown jungle where human civilization use to flourish. The reason for the disappearance isn't due to small engine destruction, but is thought to possibly be from smallpox from the European explores that boated through the region. Whatever the reason the result could be the same! The world's people need Blademan and Throttle!

@karlschwab6437 3 года назад

I Know the feeling when an old engine is brought back to life, after how many years, who knows? I have had this same feeling as Taryl and this Suffolk engine. The engine that I was blessed with, was headed to the scrap pile, sitting alongside the curb in my town. It was made in Germany circa 1936, a 2hp, 2 cycle petrol. Research was that it was on a German military generator and was a very interesting piece of equipment. I have the engine only, no generator, but it was complete with the captive crank starter, carburetor, fuel tank, air cleaner etc. It had no spark as the magneto was bad. I hooked up a coil and battery and I have a neat running engine that I take with me to antique engine and tractor shows in my state of Michigan.

@Skoda130 2 года назад

@dennishernden2264 3 года назад

Just discovered Taryl's channel. My dad and gramps both were lawnmower men, I have photos of me back in the day at five years old leaning over a lawnmower with a wrench in my hand. Back in this era you probably bought (if it wasn't from Sears catalog) and had your lawn equipment serviced at the local Feed Store, which in my area it then ended up at my residential garage for repair, sharpening blades and anything that required an edge.

When my kids were little there was a kid show they watched that had a character named D. W. Reed They used to call the spray ' 40 DW ' And, oh yes Taryl, it IS a lubricant. I had a damaged can and I dumped all the juice out into a cup and kept it on a shelf. As the solvents evaporated out more and more the ' 40 DW ' turned into an oily substance the consistency of about 30 wt. oil which made a GREAT LUBRICANT Sounds like something you might keep around in the Taryl Dactyl garage. Surprised you don't already have it. Remember it's ' 40 DW '

@SoddingaboutSi 3 года назад

This was the first engine I ever worked on. There are two sizes, but not sure of the sizes. Think they used to power the emergency generator in the Sherman tank. The pushy thing is the tickler. Mixture screw is 3/4 out on pilot 1 1/2 on main standard.

@tablature6121 3 года назад

There ya go -- "tickler," or that's what they're called over there. Also on Amal carbs on old Triumph motorcycles. I think we yanks call them primers since they save us from having to pour gas down the throat of the carb to "prime" it on initial crank up. Good info, Simon.

Well that's interesting. I bought one of these about 8-9 years ago in South Australia, that exact engine on a Suffolk Colt or Super Colt (that part of the decal was worn off...) - took an afternoon of cleaning, new oil and a tune up and it ran perfectly every time. Used it as a backyard mower for years and only sold it 3 years ago when we moved to a house with no lawn... Mine was complete and perfect, even the paintwork was original and very good condition, just a few transfers had rubbed off. It left a perfect finish to a lawn, just about like a snooker table. Love the Mankini!

@BrianHoff04 3 года назад

I read in an old Ford Tractor manual that the reason points have a specific gap is not because the gap itself matters... it's that the gap establishes the timing of the points breaking contact at just the right moment. That makes it sound as though... if I could recall how to do the trig, that the instant the point contacts are not touching would occur prior to the hi-point of the points cam. In essence the points gap is setting the timing of the spark. Anyone else heard that?

This is quoted from the WD-40 website; Myth : WD-40® Multi-Use Product is not really a lubricant. Facts : While the “W-D” in WD-40® stands for Water Displacement, WD-40® Multi-Use Product is a unique, special blend of lubricants. The product’s formulation also contains anti-corrosion agents and ingredients for penetration, water displacement and soil removal.

@proflondonuk 3 года назад

Well done ! The 'tickler' (primer) is pushed down until fuel dribbles out the hole in the side of the carb. Fuel overflow in the beginning was prob float sticking until it freed up with fuel. The Suffolk was the mower that started the lawn mowing craze in England in 1955. It was the lightest mower you could get at the time. Everybody had a Suffolk. EVERYBODY. Still have mine. Lots still around. Saw another today. Most exciting episode you made. Thanks for sharing.

These engines are also fitted to old ATCO cylinder/reel mowers. Cylinder/reel mowers were and are still popular with some people in the UK because they like the stripe effect on a tennis court and the quintessential English bowls clubs. A lot of people in the UK have moved away from these mowers and now tend to buy a rotary mower with a rear roller fitted. Also these cylinder/reel mowers are also found in Australia and New Zealand and New Zealand have a company called Masport who make cylinder/reel mowers.

@1pcfred Год назад

@@JeffinTD Wires are often suppressed or spark plugs have resistors built into them. being as small engines rarely have radios attached to them they're probably not there for EMI reasons. It's more likely it's there to keep the points from burning up so badly. Resistance in the secondary would limit the back EMF the primary side would see.

@whitesapphire5865 Год назад

Originally, that was a Qualcast engine (Qualcast = Quality Castings). Quality Castings made all manner of cast iron products for all manner of other manufacturers. As a company in its own right, Qualcast go back to before the first world war. If I recall correctly, Qualcast were still casting engine blocks for Vauxhall - Bedford (part of GM) into the late 1970s at least. Earliest Colt lawnmowers were originally branded as Qualcast, and were well engineered, solid iron and steel construction. Quite when they morphed into"Suffolk" I couldn't say for sure, but among their range of mowers, were "Colt" "Punch" and "Super Punch". I don't remember the Super Colt. The mowers came in 14" and 18" cut, but all were powered by the exact same engine. If you can find one of the latest models, you would see that the engine, whilst still being branded as Suffolk, is almost literally a Briggs and Stratton clone. There may be more to that than meets the eye, and I wouldn't be at all surprised to find more than a little bit of lawnmower incest going on between brands. As for rotary mowers, we've had them for decades, but there was always a pride ina job well done, and the pinnacle of that for Mr suburbanite house owner, was the classic "striped lawn' which was something that a rotary mower could not achieve. Ever seen the tennis from Wimbledon? Just look at the grass courts. They are the ultimate in striped lawns, along with Lords Cricket Grounds, and any self respecting football/rugby ground. It's just a British thing! Rotary mowers? Just look up"Douglas Hayter". Hayter only ever made rotary mowers, and they're still making them to this day.

Suffolk mowers, or to be correct Suffolk Iron Foundry got took over by Atco which later became Qualcast Atco. Qualcast were part of Robert Bosch GMBH but I think they sold the rights to the name to an Italian company now? Some of the later machines used a Tecumseh engine, I repaired one last week in fact! Back some years ago the Suffolk Punch and Colts were quite popular with lawnmower racers as the mower was self propelled (there is RU-vid footage I believe!)

@dennishernden2264 3 года назад

Found the owners manual and warranty card for our Moto-Mower 24" Super Rider Model 26-302 manufactured by Dura Corporation Richmond, Indiana circa 1962. Quite a machine as I remember riding it, there was no throttle control, you fired it up and put it in gear and held on for dear life. It had this wagon type steering bar with the front wheels out front and it was quite tippity. Also have a 'What You Should Know Before You Mow' safety insert for safe mower use put out by the Lawn Mower Institute Washington DC with the picture of a hot chicky in a skirt mowing the grass. Isn't wonderful the innovative products America produces to make the housewife's life easier.

@dennishernden2264 3 года назад

I was right, consulting the Clinton engine user manual included, engines were different on which particular moto-mower model you had, it says the speed control lever was an option. All it it had was manual level on the engine and engine stop was a plug shorting wire on the carbatrator. Dura Corporation was also the manufacturer of tractor mowers under the brand Detroit Harvester which made the most awesome mower ever the sickle mower.

😀😀😀 I enjoyed watching you work on engines I still use everyday in England - and working out it was left handed thread on flywheel. Suffolk made cylinder mowers in Stowmarket Suffolk England . The punch and colt , the colt being the smaller of the two . I was unaware that they were exported though you could correct that some may have gone to Canada - it is also possible that seeing as we were surrounded in the 1980s by American Airbases that one or two may have been packed up with house possessions and shipped . The suppressor was fitted because we all live close together so your lawn mower spark affected people's tv and radio .It was a good reliable basic small engine in its day and often found its way into go carts . The carbs are loads of fun 😀😀

@jamesfrost5261 3 года назад

It is a form of a primer, you don't pump it, you hold it down until fuel comes out and it trickles fuel in to the engine to prime it. They were used on early motorcycles also

@Iowa599 3 года назад

It pushes the float down, which opens the needle/valve from the tank. This causes the bowl to overflow, typically through the mixture needles into the intake manifold, but since that carb also has bowl overflow holes the overflowing gas might just leak on the ground. The overflow hole might be above the closed height of float, and raising the fuel level also makes it run richer, like a temporary choke (as the fuel level decreases before the needle opens again).
