I love your common sense approach . I'm a retired Master Tech. 45 years exp. . Technicians nowadays just want to replace parts instead of trying to find the root problem. Keep on doing what your doing. Love your video's :)
I honestly watch your channel because I used to do this with my dad when i was younger, since his passing this brings back a lot of wonderful old memories. I still miss him.
@@bigsparky8888 my Dad was Navy as well, master chief machinist mate…he was much the same…electrical, mechanical, plumbing…there seemed to be literally nothing he could not do. I wish I’d understood then because there was so much more that I could have learned from him but I feel like I get a pretty close second here!
It’s hard to find somewhere to ask question about something else on RU-vid. I have an issue with a Briggs 12hp that is randomly loosing compression one minute it will run fine stop it and inlet valve sticks open. I have a feeling the valve seat has come loose holding the valve open I was just wondering if this is a common issue. Sometimes there a loud click and compression will return but when it runs it’s not making any strange noises and it does not miss fire even under full load
@@leviwilder1205 I think there pre-set on these engines. There a flat head with the valves mounted in engine block. I’m going to have to remove head I was hoping to get away without doing this as it’s still got it’s paint on from 1970s and it’s in next to new condition.
@@WidowUK you cant adjust the lash on the older style briggs, I thought you might have had the newer style where they come out of adjustment as the plastic cam shaft wears out
@@leviwilder1205 sadly no it’s a 1970’s model alloy block I have a feeling the valve seat has broken loose on the inlet valve and has now stuck up holding valve open. It had a tapet tick but not bad enough to think there was something wrong with it and now you can pull it over with no compression you can hear it escaping via the inlet valve as it tries to fire the fuel. Sometime it clicks loud like the valve shutting and it will go
The thing I enjoy enjoy your work is how you talk to the camera like we're actually there with you. You also have a great attitude about things. You keep doing what you do and you'll be fine. Looking forward to the next episode!
Mustie, we also appreciate you. Your content and filming style from the very beginning which continues to this day brought us into the shop with you. It reminds me of exactly what you said. Wrenching with your buddies. I know all of us would love to come over and just hang out, help with tasks and wrench on things. I know that can't happen, but this is the next best thing.
Yep, love everything about your style Mustie. I don't think I need to say this, but please don't become a "RU-vidr" if you know what I mean. We like you and your style just the way you are.
Same thing happened to my neighbor's propane generator at only 2 months old. They were changing parts like mad trying to figure out what was wrong! Engine had coolant heater, nice warm place for a mouse!
Mice, rats and rodents in general are bad news. It's one reason I think Shawn Woods "Mouse Trap Mondays" is so popular. That and I personally just love Shawn Woods.
Hahaha 🤣 I wonder if the programmers ever bury little "easter eggs" like that in the software? You'd think that 𝑠𝑜𝑚𝑒𝑜𝑛𝑒 in that industry would have a sense of humour.😁
Could be the mouse was OK most of the ride and then when mustie1 hit the brakes it sent the mouse into the belt and then it slipped because it was right then he noticed the symptoms at the gas station.
I learn something new almost every time watching Mustie's videos...Like Mustie sez. hanging at a neighbors house as a kid just watching and maybe helping a bit brings back memories of cars before I could even drive....legally.
I am a damage appraiser for an insurance company. We have claims for mice chewing the wire harness all the time. Toyotas are the majority of what we see it on. We are told they use a soy based oil in the manufacturing process of the harness and if it does not get cleaned off the mice find it. Never had a claim for a mouse in a timing belt before.
Yeah, they use vegetable based coating on the wiring in most vehicles, as well as some vacuum hoses. environmentally friendly allegedly. Critters love it. It also shortens their lifespan which is why we see crumbling wiring(and some plastics) so often.
Thanks for all the videos this past year Mustie, been good to hang out with you - you've helped keep me sane during these crazy times. Happy New Year to you and yours!
Thanks for another interesting and enjoyable video. As a shade tree/arm chair mechanic I get a big kick out of your comments and feel like I am right there with you holding the light and passing tools. Your videos have made 2020 a bearable year and look forward to your new videos, keep them coming.
Mustie1, you’re right, I wouldn’t have believed that “Ferris” could have caused it to skip the belt and screw up the timing if you hadn’t shown us! I really hope you, your wife and dog have a great year in 2021. Thanks for sharing with us!
Kinda reminds me of an old nursery rhyme that goes like this, "Hickory dickory dock, the mouse ran up the clock, the clock struck one, the mouse was done...etc."
Thanks Mustie for all your content through 2020 You and other content creators helped the year pass more easily. Love your interesting projects. To you and and yours Happy New Year may it be you stay healthy and safe.
Hey man, happy 2021! Wish you and the family all the best on this new year. I really appreciate you sharing the knowledge and doing things your way from experience. we all know everyone has an opinion but not a lot of people is willing to share it, and be vulnerable. I appreciate you for doing it. You have inspired me the past couple of years to take my chances in the garage. Thanks for that! looking forward to the work on the Sequoia...how about the "sad Porsche"?? when are we getting back to that?
Dude just found your channel this week. Loving it. I appreciate how you patiently persevere on each project. All with good humor and obviously hard won expertise. Keep on truckin’ bruh.
Inching very close to 500k subscribers! You deserve all the good things that have come your way! Thanks for entertaining and educating all of us over the years. Happy New Year!
Like your Video! I have a 2005 Toyota Tundra which I purchased new. My Tundra was involved in the Rust/Frame Recall/Rework. The same dealer I purchased this Truck from decided the proper repair was to spray my Tunrda's Frame with some goop as the proper "REPAIR" to address the DEFECT Toyota has with the Frame on these Trucks. Not long after the Dealer performed the rework/repair I started noticing the frame had rust coming out from under the goop they put on the frame. The rust issue coming from under their repair got worse over time. I've brought this to the attention of the Dealer several times starting shortly after the goop was sprayed and the rust under the goop was noticed. I was told the repair performed was done according to the Toyota campaign and there was nothing they could do. I then contacted Toyota USA and expressed my concern. I contacted them several times and got the same reply. My Frame has been addressed and there is nothing else they are going to do. As of today, my 2005 Toyota Tundra has 97,000 ACTUAL miles on it and it is 16 years old. When I started trying to get the Dealer and Toyota USA to address the issue, it was much newer and had less miles on it. When I bring the truck to the dealer for service, I ask them to check the frame and document their findings on my work order. When I get the truck back after the repair, nothing is documented on the frame inspection and findings. I'll ask what they found and they say "there was no perforation". I get the feeling they do NOT document the finding because they don't want to cover the repair of this well known DEFECT. All we own are Toyota's! It blows my mind that some people have had new Frames installed on Tundra's that are older and with 2 - 4 times the miles on them. With how they are handling the DEFECT on our Tundra, we just may be looking toward a different company to buy our new vehicles from. Hello Ford or Nissan??? It's so sad, by word of mouth, we have sold 3 - 4 NEW Toyota's for Toyota prior to the rusty frame issue happening. Now we tell everyone of the lack of QUALITY and DEFECT found on our Toyota Tundra! If ya don't look under the Truck, it looks like its a NEW Truck!!! What can I do? We have a good Truck with a health issue! :-(
Thank you Darren!!!!! Your videos are the best on RU-vid and have inspired me to start wrenching on things to the point I have started a little repair business!! Thanks again and keep up the great work. Happy New Year!!!!
I like how Mustie talks with us if we are right there and bouncing ideas off . That'll learn that critter for sticking its nose into somebody else's business.
Thanks for another good one Mustie1. I always enjoy hanging out and wrenching with y'all. We used to work on tri-cats as kids before we got cars. The same feeling I'm sure.
And there is always a 2nd mouse around, so we may get another episode, IF, the other mouse is still in the same vicinity and likes chewing on timing belts?
You such an inspiration, you have such an effective method of teaching through trial and error. All the best for 2021 and I look forward to wrenching another year away.
Mustie the rat catcher. Sets traps without even knowing it. Glad there was no damage to the engine. Thanks for haring and hope this year brings new triumphs and happiness..
Happy New Year's everyone , yes last year was crappy. But this year let's turn it around . Keep giving us great videos and we'll keep watching ,and thanks for all info we get from you !!! Especially the different vehicles you work on. 🔧🔨🔩
I was thinking you might use a muffler clamp somehow, but your solution was more, dare I say, elegant. My favorite part of the video. Nobody better at adapting and overcoming than our Mustie!
Thanks for making all those fun (and super educational!) videos. I don't think I've missed one over the past year and sometimes watch them more than once! From a loyal subscriber also deep into the "rust belt", just a couple of hours North (Québec City, Canada). ;)
We've all just been through 2020. Thank goodness for an hour or so on a Sunday when we can all just relax saving some old junk from a landfill. Thank you Mustie1 & a happy a prosperous New Year to you sir!
I have to say that we all love watching your work. Shoot some of us even learn a few things from you Mustie1. I get the whole thing about hanging out a friends garage and what not, done that a few times but mine started when I was a kid and I hung out and helped my dad work on cars in the garage; talk about good old memories!!
Use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without. The new national anthem. Another much needed gift from the "Live Free or Die" state of New Hampshire.
I greatly appreciate this video, and others involving the Tundra. I have the same 2004 Tundra double-cab and although I don't have the rust issues like you, I still enjoy seeing your troubleshooting techniques and I've learned a lot. No dead (squirrels? mice?) in mine, but you never know... At least now I feel like I could handle some minor things that may come up.
We’re the thankful ones Mustie. I’m up in Milton now but lived the first 59 years of life in your neck of the woods so, I get that from the channel as well…a familiarity of things you speak of and places you go. Thanks for sharing your priceless knowledge!
When I first saw the title, I was like "Oh man, Mustie is starting to use those titles, oh well." Then I saw the cause, and I legit couldn't believe it, that's nuts.
That was amazing! Who would have dreamt that a mouse got inside the engine and wound around the timing belt/cam shaft pulley! Lucky that it was only off 3 teeth and didn't bend a valve! Amazing find!
IDK why they dont have poison or mix plaster of Paris and sugar and flower together Kills mice humanely. If one of those suckers got in my diesel VW it would be over.
I assume he does not want a leak again and this is the last time I suspect anybody is going to touch is...so glue the crap out of it. Technically you are correct though. And look at the corrosion on that engine.
Happy New Year, Mustie! Wrenching with you over a cup of coffe every sunday has become a habit. Keep the vids coming! Stay safe and healthy! Greetings from a fan in Norway.
I used the bar/chain oil method after watching you do the truck the first time. When I was mixing my coating, I took a pint of kerosene and poured it into the empty oil bottles, one after the other and shook it around to get all the residual oil left in them out. You should have patent this, my 03 Silverado frame still looks great. Thanks for the tip.
Fantastic! Let me tell you how a professional shop would have gone with this to solve this 1) Replace the known bad O2 sensor - Would have changed the entire exhaust because the studs broke 2) Replace all spark plugs 3) Replace all coils 4) Replace all injector 5) May be slipped timing belt? 6) Replace timing belt Total Damage? $16,357 in parts and labor
"The camaraderie of turning wrenches..." Sounds a bit like "Knights of the Round Table", though still a bit more like an association for the handy guys. 👍
@@mikemcmorrow6646 I think Mustie1 has a tuned coffee pot, somewhere in that dungeon/workshop/mancave. I'm more worried about the cooling capasities.. 🍺
It’s us that should be thanking you for the pleasure you bring to our lives, stay safe and well, and as long as you carry on wrenching we’ll carry on watching 👍😊
I'm a long time subscriber. of yours. Always enjoy your vids because you work on the stuff I like also. Many times watching your forklift one, because I'm dreaming of getting one for myself. You found the crown of jewels in my opinion, an air tired lift truck! Those seem to be rare especially when you're looking to buy one. Now you probably didn't catch that you bent the flange on the exhaust sensor flange when you cranked the nuts down. Maybe not enough to ruin the seal but something to keep in the back of your mind. Carry on my friend
