l picked up this old engine powered marine/fire pump from an estate sale a while ago and its been sitting on a shelf until now, lets see if it has any life left in it.
Yup... definitely a hit-the like-first-then-watch-the-video channel. :-) Back about 50 years ago one of my favorite Saturday morning cartoon shows was the "The Banana Splits Show"... it was so funny... lol :-D
Sunday Afternoon the lokal church showed Cartoons like The Peanuts ... And I loved that Bavarian tv show with that old guy making stuff in his woodshop.
My brother used to use those as a firefighter for the US Forest Service back in 1970. I think they were in service until about 2000. Yes they were always that finicky.
You not only have a water pump, you have a high pressure water pump for fire fighting. You're going to be amazed at how much water that thing will move.
A classic Mustie wisecrack at 14.39, he bumps the camera tripod and then says: "Watch it. I just kicked your foot . . . You had it coming." 😆😂😆 Always enjoy these videos and have to stay alert for gems like this. Thanks Mustie !
The only probelm with Mustie1 videos is that we can watch them faster than he can make them. Keep up the great work, I’m learning from every one I watch.
Or the tag hanging from the wire more likely. You do have to admit that this one was a whole lot less buggered up than the other engine! I didn't have a whole lot of hope for it when Mustie mentioned where it had come from though!
Based on larger versions of the pump I’ve used, the brass tubing is a vacuum line to prime the pump. The lever on the exhaust blocks the free flow exhaust to force it through a Venturi that blows out the bottom. Once you see water in the exhaust you open the window on the muffler to allow free flow of the exhaust.
Always a pleasure watching you mess around with the old stuff that used to be made in the USA, and to see how it comes back to life with little or no effort. Try doing that with the junk made now a days 80 years from now.
Thanks for the explanation i thought it was a water connection to silence/cool the exhaust. But that is connected to the manifold. Engine is also cooled by the pump. It could also be a decompression vent to start the engine easier when there is much water in the exhaust.
This is the comment I came to make myself. Beat me to it! I just retired from 30 years of fire fighting. We had an old(not as old as Mustie's) brush fire pump with an exhaust primer.
The page you were looking at with the truck is the US forest service so they probably used the pump for fighting wild fires. So the water jacket on the exhaust may be a way to cool it to prevent the surrounding material from catching fire.
He has Knipex adjustable pliers, they are the best. Available in all sizes. That truck looks mid forties maybe. Engine runs well, and it’s priceless when the flywheel comes off!
Thanks Mustie1 for keeping us all going through the lock down. Great viewing another video featuring something different and captivating to watch. We are all indebted to you for keeping us going through Covid, Thanks
That's one heck of a motor on that Pump. I couldn't help but laugh when the mag came off and you took off running!!! That thing took off like a shot. But again Darren got it to run!!! Can't wait to see what you have in store for us next.
Mustie, the truck picture you found had a Forest Service insignia on the door and was probably fitted with the pump as surpluses by the Navy. The forest service was great for that and still purchases from GSA. There are some forums on line about the pump. Cool find! I found it uses a 12:1 mix
That made my day! I have an old, complete 66 Sears Suburban 12 barn find, sitting on my lift table I'm dying to get at. But I just had spinal fusion surgery three weeks ago. Mustie1 is the next best thing to turning wrenches myself. OK....I admit it, Mustie1 videos are better. Thanks!
You answered my question later in the video. And boy when this unit too off... Great fun! Thank you for all the great content and your attitude on all of the subjects. Best, Job
I was curious why that pump looked so familiar, the comments told me it was a forest service pump and I remember seeing them in training. Thanks for showing us
Man, I think Mustie’s crowd would like the AvE channel... a far northern brother up in canukistan.... but he does have a fair skookem amount of cuss words so be warned. I would LOVE to see a mustie and AvE collab. Between the 2 of them there is nothing they can’t fix or make run properly.
Mustie, I am a professional mariner. I enlisted in the Coast Guard in 1987. I served on an old ww2 fleet tug. I go all the way back to the old P250 fire and dewatering pump. Your pump pre dates those. The p250 used an omc 55hp outboard power head. Like yours the p250 used a separate gasoline tank. Your setup looks like it was built to be stationary or bolted into a truck body or skid, probably for forest firefighting.
At the end of the video you showed the tractor/go cart. When i was a kid i use to ride on that with the mans son who gave it to you. That was my neighbor for 15 years. It was mind blowing to see you go in that little crawl space under there deck and un cover it. I haven’t seen it in 8 years or so!
Mustie to the Red Head, “Get your motor runnin” - Later that night Mustie’s better half “better take another blanket with you, it’s going to be cold 🥶 out in the garage “...
113 Thumbs down?? There are truly some sad people out there in UA-cam land... These are the kinds of videos that make YT worthwhile. Keep up the great work AND your great laughs Mustie! We are on your side all the way!
MUstie, you need an old school go-kart starter. 12 volt motor, small pulley, t-handle, fan belt, go switch. Connect the fan belt to the starter pulley, give it a little tension, hit the go-switch and when the motor cranks let off on the pressure and the belt spin off. No more escaping flywheels. Now that I've described it to you, I am sure you remembered you've got a couple of those stashed someplace.
PACIFIC MARINE SUPPLY made the Y-200 pumps from 1939-1963. Used to pump water to fight forest fires. Explaining the red paint. Pump was made in Seattle Washington.
I like his videos because it’s stuff you might find at a yard/boot sale and fixes it with what he has. Also he talks like you’re standing next to him. Coldwarmotors, half asks Kustoms and Andrew Camarata have that same vibe
The lever on the exhaust housing could be an exhaust primer which was needed to prime a centrifugal pump. It creates a vacuum in the pump housing which allows water to enter the pump for priming. Used them for 35 years in the fire service. If it is a positive displacement pump, it primes much easier because it will pull water into itself by creating it's own vacuum. The pumps we used flowed between 200-300 GPM.
Its a Handy Billy used by the USCG and USN in 40s-60s 1-1/2 fire hose, and dewatering pump. The gas can was above the pump and motor inside a tubular frame. With the frame two sailors could carry the unit quickly. The hinged side cover is where the starter cord was stored. The motor is a OMC Johnson. Bearings are roller pins. We had one surplus unit FROM USN BASE Mare Island CA. I've had the engine downtown parade rest and back together made all my own gaskets and it ran well just mixed a little extra oil in the gas.
Thank you for posting these videos, i have learned lots from watching you take things apart. Now my garage is full of lawn mowers, weedeaters, blowers, pressure washers, chainsaws, quads, scooters you name it. My son has really got into fixing small engines.
PLEASE can we get back to the Econoline?! I enjoy the car stuff the most and the metal and fabrication is awesome. Thanks. Oh and what happened to Mum and Dad's Campervan. Can we get a fleet update?
@@mikemorton6219 I can totally get that, but I don't care if it's painted, I just like the fab and welding, and Krusty, I love Krusty. You can keep your Lambo's and Fezza's I'd totally choose Krusty.
@@tempestnz1 Lols. Thing is, you can make a weed eater (strimmer = UK) run, but the head will still explode cord all over the place. The cord part is ALWAYS the worst part of a weed whacker.
So the power head is a Johnson model K outboard motor, modified to run horizontally. These are pretty popular in the AOMCI. (Antique Outboard Motor Club)
I’d say the reason the way the exhaust is it’s possibly a water cooled exhaust from the water that would run through the head, cool pump though hope there’s a part 2 to this
My father had a ratchet attachment for a breaker bar he would use on his drill for turning over lawnmower motors. I believe he got it from Napa. Unfortunately he passed away in January so I can't ask him. Worked great for not wrenching the drill motor out of his hands when something ran away on him. 😎
You don't know Mustie very well , he would rather chew off his arm, than look for instructions, he is the Mechanical Whisperer ! He might look later to see what they did wrong though!
When I was a kid I would get exited to watch Saturday morning cartoons. Now I get excited to watch Sunday morning Mustie1.
Yup... definitely a hit-the like-first-then-watch-the-video channel. :-)
Back about 50 years ago one of my favorite Saturday morning cartoon shows was the "The Banana Splits Show"... it was so funny... lol :-D
Me too!
Sunday Afternoon the lokal church showed Cartoons like The Peanuts ...
And I loved that Bavarian tv show with that old guy making stuff in his woodshop.
me too
I have my dinner while watching every Sunday, it's became a ritual over the last couple of years.
Mustie, this is a Forestry Service pump. Used for brush and forest fires. Type Y-200. Popular pump in the 1950'.
You nailed it.
My brother used to use those as a firefighter for the US Forest Service back in 1970. I think they were in service until about 2000. Yes they were always that finicky.
also FD in farm areas, drop the sump in the pond, creek or ditch
What's the holder deal under the cover?
.
That fly wheel falling off includes shooting across the room that was priceless
Mustie shop bowling 🎳
Seen that flywheel coming off and I was yelling "RUN MUSTIE RUN" lol
HEY... Never criticize the process of a true professional...🤣
Isn't that why its called a FLYwheel?:D
When that happened I leaned back in my chair hoping it wouldn't hit me lol.
You not only have a water pump, you have a high pressure water pump for fire fighting. You're going to be amazed at how much water that thing will move.
they drained our basement with one in about an hour, was a single room sized basement
I was thinking the same thing, this pump is very solidly built. Given it was found with a marine engine - fireboat maybe?
Happy Easter my fellow Mustie1's!
happy easter to you too
You too mate
Thanks Flower. You too have happy Easter bunnys.
Happy Easter!!!
It's happy resurrection day if'n you look Easter isn't mentioned in the good book. But the day of resurrection is hum 🤔
When Mustie keeps saying "huh" the deeper he gets, you know its special
A classic Mustie wisecrack at 14.39, he bumps the camera tripod and then says: "Watch it. I just kicked your foot . . . You had it coming." 😆😂😆 Always enjoy these videos and have to stay alert for gems like this. Thanks Mustie !
The only probelm with Mustie1 videos is that we can watch them faster than he can make them. Keep up the great work, I’m learning from every one I watch.
Exactly
My guess is that brass plate you cleaned off early in the video probably said " Lovingly restored for Maritime Museum " at one time long ago. lmao
Or the tag hanging from the wire more likely. You do have to admit that this one was a whole lot less buggered up than the other engine!
I didn't have a whole lot of hope for it when Mustie mentioned where it had come from though!
Please make a part two, that little twin is really cool.
Based on larger versions of the pump I’ve used, the brass tubing is a vacuum line to prime the pump. The lever on the exhaust blocks the free flow exhaust to force it through a Venturi that blows out the bottom. Once you see water in the exhaust you open the window on the muffler to allow free flow of the exhaust.
Sounds reasonable. I think the brass thing on the side is for pull rope storage
Always a pleasure watching you mess around with the old stuff that used to be made in the USA, and to see how it comes back to life with little or no effort. Try doing that with the junk made now a days 80 years from now.
Happy Easter Mustie1 , The exhaust primer uses the muffler to create a venturie for drafting water into the pump to help prime it.
Thanks for the explanation i thought it was a water connection to silence/cool the exhaust. But that is connected to the manifold. Engine is also cooled by the pump. It could also be a decompression vent to start the engine easier when there is much water in the exhaust.
You beat me to it lol. We have some pumps on brush fire trucks at the firr dept that work with exhaust primer.
Water cooling
This is the comment I came to make myself. Beat me to it! I just retired from 30 years of fire fighting. We had an old(not as old as Mustie's) brush fire pump with an exhaust primer.
That is a Forest Service symbol,it was probably used for fighting forrest fires.
Yup!
I was about to comment the same, definitely USFS Shield on the door of that truck (wildland firefighter here).
Thank you Mustie your videos are very educational I love watching you figure out the problems then fixing them 👍
I love how tickled you get. The sign on the door of the truck kind of reminds me of the old forest service sign. Maybe used for small brush fires?
Yes USFS is what I thought too.
"My tool's too big"......said no man, ever!
Is that what she said?
The page you were looking at with the truck is the US forest service so they probably used the pump for fighting wild fires. So the water jacket on the exhaust may be a way to cool it to prevent the surrounding material from catching fire.
He has Knipex adjustable pliers, they are the best. Available in all sizes. That truck looks mid forties maybe. Engine runs well, and it’s priceless when the flywheel comes off!
I have never seen a 2 cylinder 2 stroke before.
Very interesting.
Most outboards from 3hp up to about 40hp were 2 cyl 2 strokes, except for the really cheap Eska/Sears motors.
That slo-mo at the end was killer.
There is still a Pacific Marine in Seattle. The site shows that it's products are mostly painted red.
I am going to watch all of your videos, starting from the beginning. See you in a couple of years...
love your vedios. i also enjoy getting old engines running. small engines and vehicles, tractors.
It never gets old....the moment it fires💥
Oh God that old green nightmare makes us an old viewer? I've been here for years before that. I must be an ancient viewer!
Same here.
You are fantastic to fix old stuff , and have them to run 👍
The moment at the end of the video when the exhaust ports "turned blue"..........priceless!!
Thanks Mustie1 for keeping us all going through the lock down. Great viewing another video featuring something different and captivating to watch. We are all indebted to you for keeping us going through Covid, Thanks
It’s a good day when you can hear Mustie’s maniacal laugh.
Yep !😁
That and the open exhaust
Maniacal? Mustie's not from Maine. He's from New Hampsha.
@@richardbinell2053 You sooo funny!!
That's one heck of a motor on that Pump. I couldn't help but laugh when the mag came off and you took off running!!! That thing took off like a shot. But again Darren got it to run!!! Can't wait to see what you have in store for us next.
Love the blue flame too very nice👍👍
Mustie, the truck picture you found had a Forest Service insignia on the door and was probably fitted with the pump as surpluses by the Navy. The forest service was great for that and still purchases from GSA. There are some forums on line about the pump. Cool find! I found it uses a 12:1 mix
Yep, Forest Service, Civilian Conservation is what came up for me. John here :)
Now that pump would definitely be loved to seen in a FireFighter museum
That made my day! I have an old, complete 66 Sears Suburban 12 barn find, sitting on my lift table I'm dying to get at. But I just had spinal fusion surgery three weeks ago. Mustie1 is the next best thing to turning wrenches myself. OK....I admit it, Mustie1 videos are better. Thanks!
Mustie's laugh-always makes me smile!
I remember the marine engine that had the tag "lovingly restored...", for want of a better word it was fubar.
Heck yes FUBAR😆👍
Lovingly painted with a big brush you mean.
The brass plate had a warning label “Ensure colleagues are wearing steel toed boots when trying to start with a drill”
You answered my question later in the video. And boy when this unit too off... Great fun! Thank you for all the great content and your attitude on all of the subjects. Best, Job
Thanks for the laugh, Mustie! When that cover spun off and was hauling ass, I got a good chuckle out of that!
Sorry for the duplicate. I see a bunch of others got a good laugh, too!
Never seen a flywheel jump off and go rolling across the floor before. lol! Keep up the great work!
It's very funny until you may notice that it totally mutilated the crankshaft keyway.
Nyoom!
I was curious why that pump looked so familiar, the comments told me it was a forest service pump and I remember seeing them in training. Thanks for showing us
Wish I had half your mechanic ability, fun to hear you laugh as you have fun
Man, I think Mustie’s crowd would like the AvE channel... a far northern brother up in canukistan.... but he does have a fair skookem amount of cuss words so be warned. I would LOVE to see a mustie and AvE collab. Between the 2 of them there is nothing they can’t fix or make run properly.
That ring end is worrisome. 2 strokes never allow the ends in a port. You need to get a ratchet adapter. Snap-on 67C, Herbrand S-8, or similar.
Love the blue flame at 41:42. Thanks for the education, Mustie1.
Mustie, I am a professional mariner. I enlisted in the Coast Guard in 1987. I served on an old ww2 fleet tug. I go all the way back to the old P250 fire and dewatering pump.

Always enjoy watching a new Sunday morning video from you sir. Thanks!
The flying flywheel show! Happy Easter!
BTW; The "Green one" is what got me watching ALL your videos. ;)

Us: What's the opposite of slow?
Mustie: Full Throttle.
Us: Uhh, not what we were looking for, but ok.
113 Thumbs down?? There are truly some sad people out there in UA-cam land... These are the kinds of videos that make YT worthwhile. Keep up the great work AND your great laughs Mustie! We are on your side all the way!
Holy Crap its like like a snow machine engine! Listen to that puppy! Wicked cool find.
Truck looks like a forestry service truck, with a positive pressure pump, for brush fires
Nothing better than Mustie’s laugh on a Sunday. Happy Easter!

I would love to see that water pump running, we gotta see this engine at it's full potential
Now my Easter Sunday is complete! YES Got coffee Im ready Morning/Evening to all
1924 fire fighting apparatus according to the patent number
Easter Sunday and we still get a video hell yeah
Yeah
We all got all day to watch it.
Wow, what a great video! Loved the close up and slow-mo at the end!

@@shitloveaduck when you watch him for 6 years you get the words you need,if you don't, you make one out of scrap like mustie
It's his 'no fear', 'katinkering', 'what in the world were they thinking' approach to Sunday fun!
Thanks Mustie1, another Sunday, afternoon saved
Central California Watching
That little this is absolutely amazing!
Happy Easter, and I always look forward to the “you know what time it is now, don’t ya?” Parts of these videos!
I just got my coffee and Mustie drops a video perfect Sunday
Same
If it is decafe then I'm on board!
This was a good time. Thanks for the laughs! 😄
Pretty cool! Thank you Darrell!😀👍😎

You got that one right. I just Google image Handy Billy and it popped up.
The camera angle was perfect to capture the flight of the flywheel!
13:40 in Brussels I eat my ice cream as a dessert and guess who is there...happy Easter Mustie !
Sunday morning with mustie brilliant, when that flywheel shot off across the garage priceless, i love this guy, 😁👍

THANKS FOR CLEANING THAT MESS !!!
Wow - once it gets going, that is a ferocious little engine!
No wonder it needed water cooling, sounded really powerful
The mad scientist is back laughing in the laboratory. Priceless laugh.
Lovingly restored!
If you set up a museum and charge admission, we’d come. All these great antique engines? Very nice.
We would go just to see Mustie
A rotary gear pump. I haven’t worked with one of those for a very long time. Centrifugal pumps are way more popular these days.
Gotta love the Sunday morning mustie video!
Also, you might want to take that brass plate off, there might be something written under it. It is really interesting the things that you find.
Why am I so addicted I stopped working on a project to watch this. Thank you Mustie
I’d say the reason the way the exhaust is it’s possibly a water cooled exhaust from the water that would run through the head, cool pump though hope there’s a part 2 to this
That’s hilarious as a million dollars shop and a 5 cent fuel hook up!!☃️😂😂😂😂
Good Morning everyone.
My father had a ratchet attachment for a breaker bar he would use on his drill for turning over lawnmower motors. I believe he got it from Napa. Unfortunately he passed away in January so I can't ask him. Worked great for not wrenching the drill motor out of his hands when something ran away on him. 😎
I wish you a happy easter. This is a really great pump, I would be happy to see the pump again as it does its job again. Nice greetings from Germany
Anyone else wondering if Mike's Electric is walking around mumbling to himself, where is my ladder..
Right on Mustie1... thanks for sharin', and Happy Resurrection Day :-)
Wow, I like when the nut came off, You can fix anything !
Watching you dance when the flywheel unscrewed itself was worth the price of admission. That slow mo at the end was super cool too. Nice work!!
Mustie1 there is a video on UA-cam about this pump! The video title is “Pacific Pumper” Happy Easter! 👍🇨🇦
You don't know Mustie very well , he would rather chew off his arm, than look for instructions, he is the Mechanical Whisperer ! He might look later to see what they did wrong though!
Welll, color me wrong, he peeked!
