Shindaiwa 2 Stroke Water Pump From The 1980's! Hasn't Ran In Years! Can We Get It Running Again! 

Nice little piece of equipment! At work, someone dropped an old 1500w generator off near the dumpster. It was about from the same time period. He said it was leaking gas and didn't want it anymore. The shut off was much like the one on yours. I took it apart and examined it. Someone had it apart before me and put the rubber piece in backwards. I reset it and now have a good generator that doesn't leak gas!

as Mustie has sgown us, and Home Pro's, Tyler likes to get out of the norm and try something different..by doing that he lears, we learn and makes for a great video..thx

That was interesting seeing you work on that water pump😊

You are now the proud owner of a paperweight... LOL

Shindaiwa merged with Kioritz (Kyoritsu Noki) in 2008 to become the Yambiko corporation. Kioritz built equipment and sold them under the Echo trade name.

Very nice video! I understand why you would want to spend the time on it. I would love to see how it pumps a real load of water.

Looks very much like a TK carb. A spring loaded center punch works well for those float pivot pins.

This carburettor is the variable venturi type - there were two in that class S.U. and Stromberg. S.U used a piston (as here) to vary the venturi while Stromberg used a diaphragm. Back in the day it was all about the battle of patents, and everyone came up with slight variations to a general design. Hitachi in Japan made some very reliable carburettors of one or both these types for automobiles, but by late 1970's I can't remember seeing any in Japanese cars/trucks.🌵

I think you can still get parts for that pump. If I remember right, there is supposed to be a screen above the petcock that acts as a fuel filter.

My dad had the same pump, used it for maple sap transfer, the cap cracked when i touched it... has not run in years ... kind of smokey engine @ 25:1 great video.

Thanks 4 sharing. Taking a step away from the everyday is always great. It opens the mind for new perspectives and challenges. Wishing you success and good fortune going forward.

Shindaiwa was good equipment to bad they got in bed with Echo!
