might want to pull the spark plug next time you use the starter to move something, engine will spin faster and starter doesn't have to fight compression.
Other than needs a bigger gas tank,sweet little digger of a machine.give it a fresh paint job and flip it.good for small home jobs.someone will take it.!!!😊😊😊😊😊
Yeppers! Get yourself a small bottle with a sprayer and gasoline in it. Ether (starter fluid) is a last resort, I have seen more than one engine instantly ruined with ether. To each their own but I only use it diesel engines and then small squirts. Sometimes the school of hard knocks is the best teacher. Terrible place to earn a degree! Trust me, I know cause I have a wall covered with them, Lol
You need to make a T junction with a reduced diameter return line back to the gas can for the electric fuel feed. That way the needle valve isn't forced open by the fuel pressure.
Was that red fuel can with the electric pump at the start of the video, wired backwards? looks like the bubbles were moving towards the pump, not into the carb.... pumping backwards
Hi, I really like yours Movies!!! I am at the stage of looking for a mini excavator and a loader myself, I have a question, would you help me buy such machines? I have a limited budget
Hey don't knock silicon sealant because it's very useful stuff that can do a lot. I hate that I'm saying this because I have not had a sucessful attempt of fixing something using silicone sealant instead of a proper gasket. I took a small engine repair class and my step dad wanted me to fix his lawn mower because you had to press the rubber button, turn it upside down, then turn it right side up again to start it. Sadly my step dad was too cheap or lazy to pay for new parts. The only thing that really seemed to need replaced was gaskets in the end. The teacher gave me as much help as he could but since I had no gaskets I had to use silicon sealant and if I had gaskets the teacher thought it would have worked.
I'd try cleaning it out really good. And get some gasket material from the auto parts store to make your own gaskets out of with. They sale it in sheets and rolls to.
if you still have the x you never need high on the speed it runs the motor to much an the hydo pump will work great at a low speed an it saves on gas well it has worked for me an just try it on lifting an other things because the hydo pump works great at a lower speed
Sounds like running over governor believe most of those small engines run 3600 rpms will live a short life much over that.great video keep up the great work.!
@@BradenBuildz forget the throttle play room LOL.. get a tach on it and you'll see it's in the redline. 3,600 rpms is max if you want the con rod and flywheel to stay together. LMAOOOOOOOO
Forget about glitter in your oil, you'll have a rod leaving the chat if you keep running it at that high rev. No advantage either as max flow of the pump will be matched to 3600rpm.
After you brought it home ? Didn't watch after u got it on trailer. But started rt up so fig u flooded it with too much starter fluid and fouled plug. Cool machine.
That had some funny jokes in there. I thought you could make a chain of nuts and wire to help remove rust from a tank. I use 30% vinegar with my rust nuts👍
That oldschool ROPS bar looks sturdy as hell, I can imagine it adds a good few pounds to the back as a proper counterweight. I might implement this idea to my new mini-ex. Get big fat square bars on the back instead of this flimsy furniture pipe thing I have going on.
I watched a lot of videos with these small Chinese excavators and their biggest Complaint is how slow they are. I think that yours being an older model is a lot better made and faster than the new ones.
I'd get ahold of taryl fixes All on UA-cam channel. He has A lot of older engines and parts for sale. He might have one for that machine.,or A carburetor rebuild kit for it at least
We call people like you a da. Take out plugs lube the cylinder. Don't leave it in gear when starting. Check oils. Slow down. Let it warm up before moving it. Move it slowly. dont cause more damage by rushing. Dont burn out the starter. Check the spark plug. There is a reason for all this because others in the past taught us by making the mistakes. We care if you burn out the starter. You spend a lot of time on these videos. Dont loose good watchers over small easly fixed issues. Be successful with good choices. Thanks for the video
This machine is well worrth restoring . I would strip it down and repaint it . These little mini excavators are quite handy.
Agreed
might want to pull the spark plug next time you use the starter to move something, engine will spin faster and starter doesn't have to fight compression.
I thought of that afterwards
im more impressed with that starter and battery than anything, pretty impressive🤣
Battery is huge. But yeah shoutout starter
Congratulations Braden. Thats how it worked when I 1st got it(except for the high speed). Knew you would get it back operating like it should.
I learn to help my dad fix cars by watching you thanks
If you put vinegar in a tank make sure to use baking soda after to neutralize the acidity otherwise it can flash rust
Younger version of Diesel Creek youtuber
A version that finishes stuff and doesn't talk your ear out for 30 minutes.
Nice job. Try contacting the maker in Japan, and let them know that you want to restore it. They may be able to send you some info on it. (can't hurt)
neat lil rig you got there lot more fun then digging with a shovel i bet lol
It's a good feeling to see young people having interest in old machinery and repairing them, you have a great future ahead of you
OMG. I always wanted a tiny excavator!!!! Lol. Just to play around with. Just go outside and digs stuff. Lol
Me too!!!
How did you learn to do a lot of what you do on this channel? Any technical training in college or did you grow up around handy people?
No and no
Brain is wired for it
Hands on and learning from the internet
Arm cylinder rod seems to be bent.. But nice machine
I love your channel
Other than needs a bigger gas tank,sweet little digger of a machine.give it a fresh paint job and flip it.good for small home jobs.someone will take it.!!!😊😊😊😊😊
Keep up the good work remember there's not that much good Mechanics as you
😮😂yeah great idea....... starting fluid dries the cylinder out and causes damage to it and piston rings....

Thank you for sharing, great video, great explanation , i learn a lot 👍👍👍👍
You need to make a T junction with a reduced diameter return line back to the gas can for the electric fuel feed. That way the needle valve isn't forced open by the fuel pressure.
How much did you get that beauty for?
My twin cylinder diesel yanmar would be perfect on that thing
That’s kinda what I was thinking I would do a diesel swap on it
Good stuff did you have to match up the carb with a aftermarket one ,or did you get the original? Good content
I wonder how much it would cost if I bought it?
The hydraulic oil & filters changed ?
Sorry bro it was hilarious when you dropped that wheel barrow. Lmao 🤣 I’m laughing cause we’ve all been there
Awesome little piece of kit ❤
Was that red fuel can with the electric pump at the start of the video, wired backwards? looks like the bubbles were moving towards the pump, not into the carb.... pumping backwards
Nope
All the Chinese mini excavators are the modern day version of this machine. Very capable for its size.
They can do more then what there made for.
Ok I'm New to the channel and I must say great job/channel 👍👍👍 but what do you do with the machines after all that work you put into them
What does something like that go for ?
Carry a old windshield washer canister use it for a portable gas tank...it works and simple to strap on..
Good little machine,well done lad.
how much did you pay for this mini excavator? Really cool
I knew it would start right up. that thing is awesome!!!
Nice little unit. I dont know if I'd spin that old powerplant quite that hard tho. Keep up the good work. We're watching. Lol
I little yanmar engine and a paint job would would be a decent little machine
Hi, I really like yours Movies!!! I am at the stage of looking for a mini excavator and a loader myself, I have a question, would you help me buy such machines? I have a limited budget
Take the spark plug out and starter won't have to fight the compression.
Where did you get those fuel cans from??
high idle is to high back off screw on idle. motor is over reving.
The knowledge and suggestions shared in the comments section have been very valuable to me. Thanks fellas, for your input.

Should have pulled the spark plug while you were walking it with the starter would have been a lot easier on the starter
Man watching you load it on the trailer reminded me of loading my new mini ex lol
Great job man I enjoy watching your videos
Put some Rotella 15w40 diesel engine oil in it. That has lots of zinc additive in it to help lubricate the engine better.
I'd try cleaning it out really good. And get some gasket material from the auto parts store to make your own gaskets out of with. They sale it in sheets and rolls to.

Wouldn't taking the plug out of the engine be easier on the starter?
Was you able to get carb gaskets?
Yeah they came with the carb. $21 on Amazon.
how much you get it for?
The idle seems to be too high.. also the motor belts seems to be too dry.
Not much different than a pressure washer idle
that was the best
Sounds like running over governor believe most of those small engines run 3600 rpms will live a short life much over that.great video keep up the great work.!
Believe it or not it’s not maxed out. The throttle still has some play room but it sounds pretty scary much higher than this. Thanks appreciate it
@@BradenBuildz forget the throttle play room LOL.. get a tach on it and you'll see it's in the redline. 3,600 rpms is max if you want the con rod and flywheel to stay together. LMAOOOOOOOO

New carb
Hi there Good job have good day
use ether/starter fluid sparingly. It accelerates engine ware.
It's amazing how it works
Thats one hell of a starter
Why didn’t you put directly the orange tank that looked new instead?
I said in the video that it was not a direct fit
Needs painted and resto Job done on it now 😁👍
I like to use drain cleaner or some kind of strong acid on old gas tanks. Cleans the rust right out.
And what do you think vinager is..
definitely going to need a engine soon
Running at that rpm it will blow up
I really hope to see more on this unit. I want to see it move some more dirt lol
Nice running machine,
It is small and slow, but much better than using a shovel.
Mate that engine is a Subaru ! Not Surprised !
Neat little machine I would keep it around
Just started watching but I’m so curious to how much it was. I’ve been looking for one for years.
I paid $1700 for it. The new china ones are around 6k
That had some funny jokes in there. I thought you could make a chain of nuts and wire to help remove rust from a tank. I use 30% vinegar with my rust nuts👍
Thats a rugged starter to go through all that cranking to get it on rhe trailer , it seems like the engine runs good for how old it is
Japanese or Chinese? Big difference between the 2
Says Japanese
That oldschool ROPS bar looks sturdy as hell, I can imagine it adds a good few pounds to the back as a proper counterweight. I might implement this idea to my new mini-ex. Get big fat square bars on the back instead of this flimsy furniture pipe thing I have going on.
love your toys
Hook up a water bottle with gas for a tank. Gravity feed will be enough I've seen head gaskets blow out from starter fluid.
If you could change the head out for a larger bucket and still dig that would be really useful.
Put some bolts in the tank and shake it around to loosen up the rust
for future reference dont try to run them off of starting fluid it will fry the rings
Well done!
It's cool man I got a old World War II generator
To dry out the tank you can use a little rubbing alcohol next time and then let it evaporate.
If with I could find one like that I could use it around here for so much
🤔👍waiting for a busted hose. thanks
😂
Good video, you could probably run a larger smooth tooth bucket you’ll probably never need those teeth on Little Rock bucket
The spark plug needs to be cleaned properly. Think u flooded it
I put a new one in
Now to decide on what color to paint it…… hd green or case yellow

Plus it’s Japanese
He's in Podunk, Indiana. Poedunk, Indiana. In the southern part of the state.
how much you want for it
when you go to get work done, crocks aren't my first choice
That's A Briggs & Stratton style of carburetor on that Robbins small engine to.
31:13 I feel like it would be faster to just use a shovel lol

This channel may not be for you
Looking to sell it?
2500 I’m in western ky
Bro i though 2 vintage was hard on starters
Definitely put a diesel on there
That engine sounds like it's screaming
Let her scream
put a second fuel tank on it.
