Won’t start? Check crankshaft and seal.
If your blower is not starting, vibrating, or loosing power then check the crankshaft. Wiggle the flywheel and if there is play then the bearing and crankcase are worn. New short block needed. If you see oil around the crankshaft then this indicates an air leak around the seal or bearing and it’s causing low power.

Excessive oil in engine? Don’t twist the cap in when filling.
Переглядів 17 тис.6 місяців тому
When adding oil to your engine you can use both sides of the plugs. Don’t thread the cap in to check for oil level. Don’t tip the engine to add oil as this can add excessive amount of oil and can cause engine failure.
Warranty denied! Engine overheated due to lack of oil
Переглядів 24 тис.6 місяців тому
If your engine is not working and your technician denies the warranty, this is why. If there are metal shavings, score marks around the piston and crankshaft and there is a deep blue color around certain parts, then that indicates lack of oil and overheating.
Smoking engine? Check piston and rings for excessive play.
Переглядів 18 тис.6 місяців тому
If your engine is smoking check the piston for excessive play. Remove the cylinder head and rock the piston back and forth. There should be some resistance but if you see major play then get the engine specs and find the tolerance to measure the rings, piston and cylinder.
Testing flywheel magnets

If you want to test the flywheel magnets put a 1” socket or a screwdriver with the handle point up and see if it holds. If it falls then the magnets need replacing due to lack of strength.
Testing a battery with a battery and load tester.
Переглядів 11 тис.8 місяців тому
To test a battery with a battery tester connect the cables to the battery. If the battery does not show around 12.5von a 12v battery then charge it. If it still doesn’t read 12.5v then replace the battery. Press the load button to load test the battery for no more than 10 seconds. If it does not read green where the cold cranking apps represent your battery then the battery is bad.
Connect a voltage regulator
Переглядів 5 тис.8 місяців тому
To connect a voltage regulator plug the 2 like wires from the stator to the ac pins. Connect the positive cable to the B pin. If you can’t see any markings on the regulator then the pins that are connected together are the ac pins. Connect the ground cable to the frame of the regulator.
Installing fuel pump
Переглядів 39 тис.8 місяців тому
To install a fuel pump check the engravings on each inlet. One has a “P” for pressure which is the hose coming from the engine. The other is an arrow pointing inward which is the line coming from the fuel tank. The other is an arrow pointing outward which is the line going to the carburetor.
Detach stator from rotor on a generator
Переглядів 9 тис.8 місяців тому
To detach a stator from a rotor on a generator the best way is to use a puller. Lubricate the bearing and gently begin to tighten. If you don’t want to damage the threads then screw a bolt in and use it as leverage. Be careful not to damage the windings on the stator and rotor when pulling splitting it apart.
Engine won’t start? This could be why.

If your engine won’t start or is hard to pull check your camshaft. The tappets ride on the camshaft and for a split second the camshaft opens the exhaust valve to allow for easy start. If the camshaft is stuck or broken, then replace it.
Pressure washer safety valve or thermal valve
Переглядів 1,5 тис.8 місяців тому
What’s the difference between thermal relief valve and safety release valve? Thermal valve opens up when it reaches a specific temperature and closes back up when it goes below the specific temperature. This is usually 145 degrees. The safety valve opens up on psi pressure and releases water when it reaches it. Some valves are adjustable and should be done with caution.
Adjust safety relief valve
Переглядів 6 тис.8 місяців тому
If the safety relief valve is releasing water from your pressure washer then adjust the valve. Make sure the valve does not exceed the pumps psi capability. Turn it clockwise to increase the pressure and release water at a lower psi and turn it counterclockwise to increase the psi. Do this while spraying water.
Replace thermal relief valve!
Переглядів 9 тис.8 місяців тому
If your pressure washer is leaking from the thermal relief valve replace it immediately. This is due to not spraying water while the unit is on. Once the temperature reaches about 145 degrees the valve opens and allows cold water to enter the pump and cool it again.
Adjust pressure washer soap dispenser
Переглядів 2,8 тис.8 місяців тому
To adjust the flow of chemical on your pressure washer you need to install an adjustable chemical soap injector. Turn the knob to the plus sign to increase and to the minus sign to decrease the gallons per minute rate. Don’t forget to use the low pressure nozzle.
Need Stihl Parts? Find the serial number
Переглядів 5 тис.Рік тому
If you need parts for your Stihl MS180 chainsaw then look for the serial number and use that to get the correct parts. There are only 2 locations, one is a tag under the muffler and another is engraved on the base underneath the muffler.
What if the reading is 15 ohms ?
Will not work because the lead plates corrupted.
You could have good compression while still having a scored piston making it hard to start or not start at all. Ran into one just last week. 100 psi but unit had a new carburetor, new ignition coil, new fuel lines filter and fresh fuel. Obviously getting air, pulse line still connected but the piston was scored. Swapped out the piston and cylinder and it fired right up.
100 psi does not mean it’s good compression. If the unit needs to be higher than 100 then it’s no good.
This part of this engine. How much
Nice engine
Probably also trusts the factory box gap
Bad gap
Why would bypassing matter if you're just gonna buy a whole new one anyway?
Shall try
It works!
Turn the choke off and hold throttle pull about 3 or 4 times easy peasy😉
Sorry but that is very unsafe.
I charge them off the other car for five minutes and it always works, but this is a great tip also.
Thanks for watching
he might have something here 🤔
THIS IS KNOW TO WORK SWEETTTT
WTF is this?
Just jump it , and let the engine charge it faster.
You should never rely on a car to charge a dead battery.

What does it mean back gas
Bad gas, stale gas, gas with water in it.
Finaly a good Tutorial held short with all the Info and no useless talking subscribed instantly
Thanks for watching
I really like the concept of 10minutes fix. These videos are very informative and helpful. Hipa supplies high quality and affordable parts. Maybe we can collaborate on your coming videos to help more DIY repaiers?
Doesn't this affect the lifespan of new battery? This is why if one battery is dead it is better to replace all battery connected to it
This is just a jumpstart and also if you didnt know this DO NOT DO IT. Batteries pop and throw shrapnel as well as lead acid. If your battery is bad get a new one or help from someone that knows what they are doing. You should have mentioned to check for swelling and leaking first. If the battery is damaged physically you may damage good battery or worse you must physically inspect, check voltage with multimeter before during and after on BOTH batteries. Monitor as it charges for swelling and hot spots as in 1 spot on one of the batteries is hotter than the rest of the case and listen for sizzling/crackling. If either battery gets hot to the touch disconect immediately and stay away for a while as it cools down because those are signs it is about to pop
Yoooo! ITS ALIVE. You're the MVP, homie. Seriously. Been out here for two hours fighting this wood boss. You're trick got it started in 20 seconds and I'm finally cutting wood. Thank you! Your video is the only one that helped me.
Thanks so much for watching
my snowblower looked like that. it was the coil
I have a buyer coming to looke at my generator and I went to start it up to make sure all is working and it ran for a minute and sputtered an dshut off and won't restart. Buyer is coming in 30 mins.
Amps × 2654 ÷ volts = mfd. No need to remove cap to test it.
Thankyou somuch
Thank you for watching
Rigtig nok så husk lige det der ude
Thank you... it works😊
Thanks for watching.
How do I take the impeller off
Most impellers have a key way that holds it together and should just slide off. Many times the rust makes it very difficult and I have had to break the impeller to get it off. Spray a lot of wd40 and leave it overnight.
Dont clean your spark plug ? Why not
It’s about $6. Get a new one.
Pro tip: Put the piggy in the middle
But I'm not rich I'll just clean it
Damn. You’re that poor?
If your battery voltage is too low to charge, your battery charger is a piece of crap. So go out and buy a Schumacher.

My starter spins and makes the sound but how do I start it if the start button doesn't start it ??
I have been working with motor run capacitors for 28 years every day and never had to discharge one
You are my hero
Thanks for watching
Ah yes always discharge an electrolytic, DC capacitor, through a resistor to be on the safe side. With Bypass AC capacitors you really dont have to discharge it because it holds a very small charge. I learned this not in my Electrical Engineering classes but actually while working in the field. They don't teach this shitz in college, you simply learn by doing. Also check the ESR of the capacitor if your meter has that function. ESR is important.
without ESR value, D value and test how it perform on different frequencies , this test is not enough to confirm if it is good or not.
Will the battery is too low to be charged huh lol
🎉thank u teacher 😮
❤
My car was vabrating and I change the plug cz it was look like this. But 2 weeks later.. It started vabrating again and it stop on the road while M driving.. What is the problem
What a shit day, yesterday prepped all 4 chainsaws ready for work come in the morning and none of them decided to work, then the bob cat broke down 🙄 if the days too easy and everything starts running smooth youre doing something wrong. Life is nothing but lemons and itll keep feeding you sour sons of beaches
Before computers, spark plugs that looked like that meant that the carb was running too rich (letting in too much fuel). There should be a screw adjustment on the carb that adjusts that.
No no no, the inrush current to the dead battery could cause it to swell/leak/explode, the good battery could suffer the same…….like the other comment said, do this only momentarily to raise dead battery voltage enough for that “smart” charger to recognize………your educating incorrectly and recklessly and could harm or maim someone
Reason it won’t start is because you have it backwards.
Should’ve taken another second to look at the unloader tip and explain if that one was worn or not
thanks! my brand new one gone into spastic mode and wont start, this worked
Thanks for watching
Disconnect the known good battery after the dead battery has enough voltage to keep the "smart" charger activated, otherwise use an old school battery charger.
Who is the genius that made a battery charger to determine a battery is dead and won't charge it, when it's low on voltage ?
