Hi Bruce, I added a video to my channel today describing a new Briggs oil change device/process I created. Even though you use a suction device to do oil changes, I thought you might appreciate the effort! The hose that I used is long enough to do oil changes with the mower on its side on the lift table. Cheers, Jim
How's she goin'? Nice work checking the crank seals. They are very important for 2 cycle engines eh. You know you small engine guys are on the ball!!! Pretty neat too the way you got the pressure pump hose connected to pressurize the crank!!! Resourceful and clever, what an awesome combination!!! Thanks for sharing and take care!!!
@@BrucesShop In fact I enjoy the saw vids. I struggle with chain saws engines. They are small and seems like they only go together one way and if you don't get them in the right sequence, they won't go together or you damage something. I did that with an auto oiler one time. I really enjoy your channel. It must be your demeanour because other small engine channel I watch only now and then, but I look forward to your videos!!! Take care!!
Good trick on the crank seal. I am curious to see how long that will last. Got a great report from surgeon yesterday. Everything is good and she was pleased to see how good I looked and how well I was doing.
That is wonderful egearding your health. On the crank seals. what I first noticed was the seal was right at the edge of the taper in the shaft. I just tapped it with the screwdriver and the bubbles wen away so i reset it with the punch. I think it will last
Interesting video as most of them are try more light overhead views but I’ve been watch you a few months and wait for new videos to come out I download them and watch at Tim Hortons in the mornings before I take my dog for walk I’m in northern Ontario
I love that you love having a shop. I love shop lol... Paul Brodie was just talking today about the proper use of the word "manifold", but I didn't know what it meant (as he didn't). I still thought your definition of the crankcase was quite genius, myself.
I'm not a 2-stroke guy at all (and just barely a 4-stroke guy), so forgive if this is a dumb question... on some 4-strokes, I know that if you drive the crank seal in too far, you can block an oil passage. Is that potentially an issue on 2-strokes, or can you just whale away until it seats? Love the channel!
Simple answer, not necessarily a drive it till it seats on 2 strokes in all cases, some have a desired depth they want them set at but generally yes you can seat them all the way. Take the Husky 372 for example, they sell a seal tool and it sets the depth without completely seating the seal but I had a crank that had excessive wear where the lip of the seal sat so I took the seal in further and seated it all the way and the saw works fine and passes all Vac/Pressure tests and tunes like it should. Fuel/oil mix and atomize so it coats on 2 stroke, open cage bearings allow the atomized oil to pass through the bearing to lube the bearings and seal lip, no oil passages like a 4 stroke since there is no sump/pan.
@@BrucesShop Bruce, was there a ring worn into the crank, kind of like they do on cars harmonic dampener pulley? Seating it deeper would allow the seal to seal against a new spot.
Well i noticed the seal was siting a little proud of the flange and the edge of it was near the tapper in the crankshaft. Parts are hard to get to I tapped it a bit it stopped leaking so i tapped it with the punch. Thanks Dave for noticing.
"I love having a shop." Me too and I'm sure that sums it up for many of us! Appreciate you and all that we have learned from you, Bruce!
Thanks so much. I am out there almost everyday. Afternoons mostly.
That was great seeing u not only finding the leak but all it needed was the seal to be tap back in place.
Yes It looked to me to be sitting a little high
Bruce- the 2 pull man. Great video! Have a great weekend!
Thanks. I have always fixed 2 strokes but now with my test pump i know when things are right.

I will look
I went there and just saw a running red Briggs. Sorry
@@BrucesShop Try this.

Thanks!
Got it.
Great fix. It sure beats taking the whole darn engine apart. I enjoyed your video my friend 🔧👍
Thanks 👍

Thanks again sir. Am I doing to many saws now? You can be honest.

lol, you must have put the duck outside this time so he didn't get stepped on,, lol
Yes he was gone.
I am awake and have my coffee and a couple of little debbie donut sticks
Right on.

Neat remedy for the seal.
Well i should have replaced them but parts are really slow to come right now. that is my excuse.

Thanks Mike
Good info...
Thank you

Thanks for the kind words
Great video sir have a safe weekend
Thanks
AJP Garden could use your help on a clutch on a chain saw Bruce maybe you could help ? Great video once again !
Thanks Bill
That is a sweet sounding machine. What would you do without that pressure tester? Good save on the seal. Stevo
Thanks a lot Steve.

Well the crankcase on a 2 stroke is the final chamber for the intake manifold. I didn't whale away I just tapped it in till it just stopped.

@@MegaLostOne Good point. The saw is now gone back to the owner. I will take a close look at the video.
@@BrucesShop Apologies, poor choice of slang. I didn't mean to imply that you weren't careful! I repeat - I love your channel!
That was very fun Bruce. What a fantastic idea sinking the seal in a little farther. It really worked well. Great video my friend

Put some seals in it .
Well i should have replaced them but parts are really slow to come right now. that is my excuse.
WHAT are you working on....partner made a COUPLE of saws......
500 . Sorry the saw has gone back to the owner.
New Channel Name: Bruce's 2 Strokes!
Right. My arm and nec are tired after starting the 100cc onces
I’ll bet. Those are beasts!
