your engine doesnt have a rev limiter its just that at that rpm is where you float your valves if you want to get more rpms out of it you need beefier valve springs but that comes with risks like exceeding any speed limitations that the crank and cam might have andafter a point maby how strong your valves are
its always been a thing to do it on the cheap, you just fill the crank case enough that the rod can dip into the oil. It wont last forever but will be enough to have fun with for awhile. Other things ive done is just get a piece of sheet metal and make a dipper and bolt it to one rod bolt, works well.
I've done this a bunch of times You undo one bolt and the connecting arm to the crank shaft. Take a piece of coffee can or soup. Can bend it in a way that will scoop and throw oil. Make sure you rotate it. So it's not hitting. Anything I used to make Go-Karts with them all the time.
I need to do the opposite. Mount a horizontal shaft engine vertically. Since I am in California I cannot legally buy a new engine for my riding mower. My engine had something try to exit the crankcase via a non-engineered exit hole. Harbor Freight has only small vertical engines, I need a 17 HP or larger.

@@yourlocalrussiankid9162 if it's to full it's going to bypass the piston rings, and fill the cylinder and burn oil. If it gets gummy enough it will make the rings stick and make bad compression. You can tear it apart and clean the rings and probably will run again
I just got my first car! She's a 2009 Buick Lucerne, and she belonged to my mom's friend's late grandfather. She's practically new, there's no rust, no tears in the seats, no stains on the interior, the headlights aren't foggy, she was even garage kept her whole life. Unfortunately, they are known to have some fairly serious reliability issues, mainly relating to the electrical and fuel systems, as well as faulty water pumps, though the powertrain is pretty durable minus the previously mentioned water pumps. I'm still super happy with her though, and I'm very proud that I've actually managed to save enough money to buy a car and still have about $2,000 in savings left over.
hell yeah thats awesome! Just remember to change that oil often and do your other maintenance such as transmission fluid/filter services, power steering, coolant, brake fluid, brake pads, ect.
Not supprised it runs that good, the balance shaft 100% is working as the oil slinger. And due to it being a horizontal shaft, you can use a regular go cart clutch and a chain, and no belt slip, with a tiny back sprocket. Then it will be a beast!
@MisterdionneYT take a rod bolt out and put a dipper on it, and re tourqe it to spec. I saw someone do that to a push mower engine and it actually worked
I'm going to go ahead and comment before I finish watching I'm going to guess that the only way for it probably function is if you change the way the oil is being flung around inside the crankcase and the carburetor has to be the right way to
Yo Genius. If you install an oil slinger from a horizontal shaft engine, you'll be fine. If not best of luck! Oh the oil slinger is mounted on the cap of the connecting rod. Just thought i'd mention since you seem to be an expert. LOL Best of luck in all your endeavors. I mean that!

@@jasonstclair6293 its because on the engine it say cast iron bore so i thought it was all cast iron since the engine weighs a ton ! ( cast iron is really heavy )

I know it's a far stretch. But never seen it done.
@@MisterdionneYT yeah I know right? Failed attempt but at least if it's splashing it's splashing and it's doing something in there that's working for sure. The oil is head butting all the engine parts in the crankcase, then it is all good. I think your dog would agree.
As someone who has a tecumseh engine mower that doesnt work, and lives in a town that rivals tecumseh (they made us shut our hospital down and had one built inbetween our towns) fuck them lol
Thats funny I am using the 12hp ohv tecumseh on my atv front suspension mower just still running transaxle setup, one thing I would worry about is getting oil to the rocker arms on the top of the engine then getting into some rpms
Now here's the ultimate question. Can a horizontal shaft be run vertically?
hummmm ?????
that's what I'm wondering i would love to put a pred 212 in a mower mounted vertically
At least for a little bit you can
mine will in a wheelie, you will have oil starvation if you dont upgrade the oil pump and put a tube that picks it up from the back of the motor
@@xbrun3356technically anything can do anything for a “little bit”

Don’t believe it has a rev limiter just lack of fuel as you said. Pulse pumps work great on those things
It's supposed to be governed it's likely valve float, it will kill it eventually even if it is running out of fuel that will kill it even faster they hate being lean

Could've said accelerator pump but that works
@@truckercarterO9 no lol those are different things, he's talking about a low pressure vacuum/pressure powered fuel pump they're run on the pulse from the crankcase made by the engine and they're very common on lawnmowers, he'd have to go to a motorcycle or powersports carb to get an accelerator pump of any kind, you can rig something up to act similar to an accelerator pump tho
@@zakburnett6690 oh ok
0:34 camshaft valve "tappets", also more commonly knows as lifters.
Nope just tappets lifters are different
You would have been far better off tapping the aluminum engine case for the new fill plug and just leaving the fill plugs in the old holes.
Errrrr I'm pretty sure that engine casing is not cast iron and is actually alluminium but nice try with welding a steel nut into it.
I was losing it........ "cant weld to cast iron" well no not if its aluminum
is it really aluminium ?
Yes it’s cast aluminum
Yes aluminum!!!! Use a magnet when in doubt
@@MisterdionneYTyes haha
That case is made from cast aluminum, that’s why you can’t weld it. Even if you tried tig welding it it doesn’t turn out well
Great video, it's surprising how the engine's surviving like that!
its still alive haha
Its so exciting to see your videos and love your ideas😊
Glad you like them!
That giggle while the short timelapse 😂
Where is the video where you build that four wheeler frame onto that?
All you have to do is buy the horizontal side cover and retrofit it with a motor plate. It’s the same thing basically.
your engine doesnt have a rev limiter its just that at that rpm is where you float your valves if you want to get more rpms out of it you need beefier valve springs but that comes with risks like exceeding any speed limitations that the crank and cam might have andafter a point maby how strong your valves are
It's probably valve float that's causing it to flutter.
Can you use an axle vertical?
thats sick man, epic motor for lasting so long!!
😂😂😂 this is like giving some to a five year old and saying have at it 😂😂😂😂
its always been a thing to do it on the cheap, you just fill the crank case enough that the rod can dip into the oil. It wont last forever but will be enough to have fun with for awhile. Other things ive done is just get a piece of sheet metal and make a dipper and bolt it to one rod bolt, works well.
You can make or buy the little oil splasher that connects to the connecting rod for horizontal engines… I’ve made a few mower engines work that way
I've done this a bunch of times You undo one bolt and the connecting arm to the crank shaft. Take a piece of coffee can or soup. Can bend it in a way that will scoop and throw oil. Make sure you rotate it. So it's not hitting. Anything I used to make Go-Karts with them all the time.
How do you tell which gear is which? Is it just a muscle memory?
This channel gave me How to basic vibs, So I subscribed.
You need to fix the mixture on the carb so you can remove The rev limiter😂
The scooby laugh was perfect made me laugh
i love how you realy think about everything

Do you have a new vertical shaft engine?
The idk parts are lifters for the valves.
ok i didnt know how to say it because i am french haha
With that crawl low gear, it would make a cool half-track
There is a special cast welding rod and you need to torch the area your welding to a certain temperature to weld cast.
Awesome content!! Love this!
I mounted one that way on a homemade mini bike in the late 60’s. It survived. I had to use a different carburetor though.
I always knew it was possible. Awesome video. Cabt wait to see upgrades. Bigger jets for more fuel, advance timing to maximize top rpms. Very cool.
Thanks !
Mister Dion that crank case is made of cast aluminum how did you weld a steel washer to it?
i dont know it worked hahaha
Qwhy didint you try to find one of those v twin mower engines that would have been really cool
Lovin the videos cant wait for more! tbh your giving me hope on my mud mower project🙂
Do you have an update on it?
Thanks for sharing a great video
Glad you enjoyed it

Welding steel to aluminum rarely works. Those engines had aluminum blocks.
