You are right When I hooked up a good fuel supply it ran great. Thanks for the comment.🙋‍♂

I think they did. My engine is a CCKB so it is points only. The coil in my engine is a 3 ohm 12 volt coil so no resistor. If the coil was only 1.5 ohm it would be a 6 volt coil and require a ballast resistor to work on 12 volts.

Exactly. But the plugs looked so good I mistakenly gave them an undeserved pass. 🤷‍♀️🤔

Me too. I can't wait to hear it on my Gravely instead of the Briggs that is there now

You are welcome🙋

In Onan's defence the plug wire has a metal shield over the plug end and the rest of the wire is shielded with braided stainless steel for minimal electrical interference.😉

Thanks

Your welcome.🙋‍♂️😊

I love the way life works out sometimes. 👍😉 I am a Power-Stroke fan from the IDI days. I am glad my little movie was useful.

The engine is 239 cubic inch or 3.9 Liter but it only has 110Hp when new. What it might produce nowadays is open for debate. 😉🙋‍♂️

Yes. Please read the response on the 53 Ford video .

Thanks for the comment. These machines tend to work their way into your heart. I have always said that Gravely's may look a little strange but work much better than you might think. It is their quirkiness, competence and bullet proof construction that inspires our loyalty.

Thanks for the reply. I have one of those blades as well and as long as the snow is not too deep it is way faster than the blower. I can do the sidewalks on both sides of my street in less than 10 minutes.

Thanks for the question. The piston was .020 over.

That is funny the person I bought this from was planning to use this CCKB on his lawn tractor. It came with a spare 1 7/8ths" crankshaft. My Gravely uses a 1 3/16ths crank. So I am using one off of an Onan CCKA. Same stroke and bearing sizes. The cast iron CCKB's weight may give me a little edge at the lawn tractor pulls.😉

@@theberginsgarage7917 Awesome man! Haha, these engines are HEAVY!

What can I say I'm a Gemini through and through.🤷‍♂️😉 Have fun getting your LA fixed up.

I picked one up here for $14. www.tradebit.com/tagworld.php/johnson+evinrude+workshop+manual It is about Evinrude's mostly but they had very similar models since they were to all effects the same company. Good from 1911 to 1942.

Cheers The Bergin's Garage, best £11.00's I've spent for a while much appreciated!

Thanks for the tips. I didn't show the finished product. I also covered the joint with some red heat shrink with the glue inside to seal it up.

@@theberginsgarage7917 Job well done fella. Peace

I actually didn't mind having to remove the head as I wanted to see the piston size. The seller didn't know anything about the walk behind as it was his grandfathers. I think I paid $150 for the unit. I have since found the real issue with this unit. It seems to have a spun main bushing. Probably from the missing main oil feed, there was oil all over the transmission as if someone had tried to start it with the line missing. I have acquired a good bottom end to repair the issue. I will get back to it when I get my new knees. I have one replaced so far and the next in a couple of months. 👍😊

​@@theberginsgarage7917 I did not have the heart to tell you the negative of a broken oil line. That is never any good. Have to wish you luck with your knee and the next one in line to be replaced. I need a new hip soon. I can feel your pain and soon I will be joining you on the pain train. The price was really good for what you got bergen. Good luck and hope you made a video replacing the bottom bushing fella?? Have a safe day too.

I will be making a vid, I expect to get at it this spring. I wish you luck with your replacement. A hip is a little more involved than a knee but the ones I have seen have gone well. Surgery has improved greatly these last few years.

@@theberginsgarage7917 I really hope so fella. Thanks and peace too.

That is a good idea about using hot water for the jets and for plating the carb. I will have to dunk the carb in metal rescue next time and try plating it. I already have the plating solution.

I don't know if you have seen my other channel but there are more videos there. ua-cam.com/channels/QPHZyC0XusKxh5039tzNIw.html Here is a project link: ua-cam.com/video/QPiO5tWOcTo/v-deo.html Thanks for the comment. I have been a little preoccupied lately as I have just received my first new knee. The condition of my knees the last few years has been a drag on doing any work on the car but this first knee has been fantastic I can't wait for the next one. The increased mobility will make the work easier and best of all faster as I may not have been able to work on the car but I have been buying parts. 👍😊 As soon as my son gets the C10 project finished (soon) I will move the car to my home garage and work will progress much faster. It's heated😎

The Bergin's Garage Thankyou for the link, can’t wait to catch up on the episodes. My dad had a 52 and 53 customline years ago. I had 50 shoebox which I had to sell but hope to get another or early 50’s ford someday. Still have my 65 Tbird and dad has a 62 old Starfire. Best to you on a speedy recovery and thanks for the videos. EdB

No problem. I have always liked the early 50's Fords and I am a big fan of the mid 60's T Birds, the 64 convertible in orange is my favorite. You should put up a better vid of your T Bird. The 64 and 65 are pretty close in looks.👍😊

That is your choice. Since I have the tools I use them. There is a reason all those tools are manufactured and why mechanics have have bought and used them for so many years. Pounding on a piece of cast steel with a BFH is no way to treat the parts that keep the wheels on your vehicle and direct it down the road. I like my cast steel spindles without cracks and fractures thank you. You may have gotten away with it so far but someday maybe you or someone who's car you have worked on won't be so lucky.

It is a nice generator. I would check out the Smokestack forums as they have a large Onan generator section with people that know their stuff. There is a manual on this site, www.twinslan.net/~n0nas/manuals/onan/ This manual site is down sometimes but keep trying. If you can't get the manual I have a copy and can send it to you.

@@theberginsgarage7917 thats awesome. Thanks man. Ill let you know how it goes. It was an emergency generator set up in an old school i just pulled the boilers out of. Got the actual onan automatic start up panel with it too. As soon as it lost power it would fire up. I was thinking mid 70s but its cool tp see it may actually be older

It would technically make onan generator #2 for me. Ive also got alate 80s early 90s miller welder with an onan 20hp twin cylider. Thing screams. I love it

I also have a few Onans as I am a big fan. I have one 20hp and two 24hp opposed twins. I am converting the 20hp one for use on one of my Gravelys. I recently picked up a 6.5 Kw Onan generator that won't run as it is too carboned up from running with the choke on. I will be fixing it as soon as I finish repairing the valve grinder I bought to help fix the generator 🤷‍♂️🙄🤦‍♂️. The 1800rpm Onan gen's sound so relaxed compared to the usual 3600 generators for the other manufacturers.

Old kohlers and old onans are my favorite small engines. I have a few different wheel horse garden tractors too.nothing like them old "big blocks" i swear m old 12hp c120 will out mow, till and snow blow anything new with twice the hp

The result keeps you awake. 😲

you prolly dont give a shit but does anyone know of a tool to get back into an instagram account..? I was dumb lost my password. I appreciate any assistance you can offer me

@Boston Baylor Instablaster =)

@Rene Tony I really appreciate your reply. I found the site through google and im in the hacking process atm. Seems to take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.

@Rene Tony it did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I am so happy! Thank you so much, you saved my account :D

Thanks for the comment. I am not sure how long they made this engine but it has been a while. Onan has made horizontally opposed twins since the 50's. Here is a link to some Onan manuals twinslan.net/~n0nas/manuals/onan/ If the link doesn't work just search for Onan manuals on the internet find this link in the results. this link will work from the search results Why I don't know🙄 A good forum is the Smokestack forum. They have a whole section on Onan's The starter is probably 12 volt but it could be 24 volt if it was used in an industrial situation. It is unlikely to be 6 volt unless it is very old. A starter is pretty tough and as long as you don't run the starter too long you can run a 6 volt starter on 12 volts it just runs a little fast. The reverse is true of the 24 volt starter it will run on 12 but just a little slow. Don't keep the starter engaged for more than 15 seconds. Measure the ignition coil resistance if it is 3 ohms you don't need a ballast resistor if it is around 1.5 ohms you need one, but it will run fine for testing purposes. Check the coil isn't getting too hot if you aren't using one. You should post a small video of your engine on UA-cam so I can see it. Just a little phone video is all you need.

Thanks for the comment. The Onan twin has been used in a lot of things, Many high end lawn tractors, portable welders, small skid steers, and of course Generators. This particular one was from a Fairmont Speeder which is one of those little 4 wheel rail cars that the rail crews use do rail inspections. The old Onan twin was a really well built very reliable engine. You might notice that I am a bit of a Onan fan.🤷‍♂️😉

Thanks for watching but don't get too cocky. The two things I used to test the generator are not voltage or frequency sensitive. The drill uses what is called a universal motor which will run perfectly fine on 120 volts DC and if the voltage was low it would just run slow. How do you think they make them variable speed? 🤦‍♂️🙄 The heat gun uses a universal motor for it's fan as well. I've been working for 35 years as a maintenance electrician in a steel mill so I know fair bit about everything electrical. Which is why I chose those items to use. 🤷‍♂️ I completely checked out every wire and coil in the generator before I even started.

@@MatthewBerginGarage GOOD BOY, Matt. There is a whole world, of 'armchair' so-called knowitalls. i been fixing working with engines, anything with wires on it, for over 35 years, as well. Computers, to dryers, fridges, washers, any 'electrical '' tools, computers, etc etc. Just ignore the insanity. Hang in there !

Sorry but you are wrong, 🤦‍♂️🙄with the points closed, turning the ignition switch on and off imitates the action of the points and will produce a spark. Get a battery, a coil, and a switch or just some pieces of wire and try it. Just don't hold the coil by the top when you test it.😲 You can even do the same with old style electronic ignitions (where they still use a distributor) to check if it is a failed coil or the control box using the ignition switch. If you have a pulse from the pickup and a spark when you turn the key on and off the control module is shot. I grew up when there were point style ignitions on every engine. You shouldn't get cocky I have been working on engines for 55 years as my hobby and as an industrial maintenance electrician for the last 35 years. I probably understand battery/coil and magneto ignitions far better than you.

Thanks for the comment. It's OK I know where everything is as long as no one moves anything 🙄🙄 but that rarely happens.🤦‍♀️🤦‍♂️👍

Thanks for the comment. It is a great little beastie but don't know if you would. This old beastie has sleeve bearings and the engine's oil mix using dino oil is 12 to 1. It smokes like a banshee while it is running, even using a synthetic which I mix at 16 to 1. It gets me some dirty looks around modern boaters. I just tell them "Its old enough to smoke"

Thanks for the comment. I can sympathize with you about the pull start. I have a 1950 L that really hates to start. I think the magneto on that beastie has lost some strength, maybe it's time for a recharge. You can get the parts needed to convert to electric start on eBay although the prices vary. If you are not in a hurry and are willing to wait they can be had for a good price.

Love the cat!!! I love cats!!! Cats are cool!!!

Thanks I've been looking.

Thanks for the comment. The first time I used one I liked Gravely's. Now in my old age I have GAS (Gravely acquisition syndrome ) and collect far too many but it is fun.

Thanks for the comment. I agree about how they sound. Like a flathead VW bug engine. No that is not a rod knock. I think it might have been a rattle in the shrouding around the flywheel. I am disassembling this engine to replace the crank with one that will fit the Gravely transmission. I have finally assembled all the parts I need to do the job. I have all new bearings and a governor system. Soon as the lookdown is over the crank is going for machining.Stay tuned for more videos on this beastie.

Thanks for the comment. I always use heat shrink. I put some nice triple layer heat shrink with sealant on the connection. Good for the life of the truck.

Thanks I really like the Onan engines they are things of beauty. I will be doing more movies about this engine as I finally have all the parts to install the new crank that will fit the Gravely transmission. I just have to get it disassembled and to the machine shop.

The Bergin's Garage I’m in the same boat working on a CCKB for a Simplicity 4041 Powermax tractor. The parts are a lot of fun to find. Let me know if you are missing anything else because I have some great part sources.

When I get the engine disassembled I will see what I need. I am concerned with the oil pumps condition. You should post some vids about your rebuild on your page.

The Bergin's Garage I know! I will start making videos because a lot of the problems we solve are very helpful to others. Not a whole lot of info on the old stuff.

Thanks for the comment. The yellow isn't my favorite but that is how it was painted when we purchased it. I was amazed how well it runs. We have a video on our other channel of a cold start and it fired up just as you described. Link ....... ua-cam.com/video/U7i9xAMHH8Y/v-deo.html Our engine has the wrong pulley on the output shaft and it is throwing off the balance making it bounce a little. I am still looking for the correct replacement. We also have to replace the start handle return spring. It will be a bit of a chore as the PO welded in the handles pin.

@@theberginsgarage7917 that spring is broken in mine as well, but I just try to keep my hands clear of the handle. I did have a bad kickback from the day I bought mine and once you break a thumb, you remember to keep clear of spinning things, Haha. But if the handle doesn't retract on it's own, a carefully placed foot is enough to fold it in. ;)

I had socks on.:-)

Thanks for the comment. Since the computer in the 92 is an OBD1 system and very small I wasn't sure if the mileage would be stored in the computer. To be safe I kept my original speedo.

@@theberginsgarage7917 Right that makes sense! I think Ill doo this swap and test and see if it works! I think it would, but I have been known to be wrong! lol

I've been wrong quite a few times myself.:-( Got to look at the positive side, being wrong is the only time you learn something. Let me know how it turns out that way we can both learn.

Relax I've been doing electrical wiring for 35 years, haven't cut myself yet.
