    Bentley, you give me hope that there are still some old school mechanics left in the world. After wrenching full time for over fifty years, and still at it, I have no regrets. Keep it up, little buddy!

      Keep wrenching Bentley. It is a life skill that is priceless. I was an aircraft mechanic for 45 years and loved every minute of it.

      But he should be careful running the engine on brake cleaner. Some of them are tetrachloroethylene which will create the battle gas phosgene upon burning or exposed to over 300F. 2 parts per million in air will kill you...

    Your comfort on UA-cam has increased greatly. You also are learning a lot about how to diagnose and repair. Dad is probably as proud as a peacock. There is going to be a time when the old man will want to sit in his rocking chair( probably not) and you’ll be the guy.

    Love it. Bentley says “I don’t even know how this works” but carrys on and pulls it apart anyway! That’s the Bieri spirit Bentley! You got the basics and Dad is letting you figure it out yourself. That’s the way to learn.😊

      Wow… What a wonderful thing to say and what a wonderful attitude. There is definitely a lot more out there in life than just City living. Nothing wrong with that either, but one should try to experience as much as they can and see as many different places as they can. Boy, take somebody who's lived in an apartment in a city their whole life and show them the backwoods on some quads and go karts and they would probably be having heart palpitations from excitement and fun. Lol. 👏 Again, wonderful comment for Bentley!!!

    You're doing great work! I have a suggestion for your future. ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS, get that open (or closed) container of fuel away from any engine you are starting and running, especially behind or near the exhaust. Just one tiny spark or backfire will cause a huge fire. The fumes from gasoline are heavier than air so they will creep close to the ground. Any spark hitting the ground will set those fumes off.

    Bentley, your dad always uses transparent fuel filters. Get one for a lawnmower, they are a lot smaller but do the same job and you can see if the fuel is good, if there's a good flow and any dirt coming from the tank. I have several for my lawnmowers and they save a lot of headaches, if the filter doesn't fill up while trying to start you can bet you're having a faulty carburetor. They also are way better than the flimsy things they put in the fuel line to filter out dirt. Keep it up, you're doing great!
