I acquired an old boat when I was 16 that needed ‘some’ work. Funny thing. When you’re out on a lake or river and your repair engine dies and/or your freshly re-fiberglass hull starts to leak, and there is no one around, you are in for a great adventure!!! Leave the children on the shore for the first couple of test runs!!!
Oh boy, a boat!!!! Can't wait for the next video Mike because you working on the mower is like easy-peasy compared to a boat!!! Thank you for bringing us along on your adventure captain!!!!
Nice fix for the mower. Boats are not a bad thing to trade up to.
I love this series and I would not have guessed a boat. Thanks Captain, God bless you and your lovely family.
SOOOO Happy the trade up series is back. I find these really fun.
There's nothing you won't tackle. Excellent job.
Cap’n she’s a running! I’m jealous. You have your yard mowed and I haven’t even looked at my mower.
I was gonna mow it yesterday but Nana insisted that I wait until the Easter bunny had done his thing. Her reasoning… with the grandkids getting older, they need more of a challenge in finding their eggs.
I suggested that we tell EB to color them green instead but… well, tradition requires a whole pastel palette. So, I’ll be wading through ankle deep dewy grass for one more day.
Now about becoming a boat owner… I almost became one. My neighbor gave me a bass boat. I was ecstatic at first… then I pulled it home and got good look at it. The shell was immaculate. But, it had sat outside for 10 years. At some point the drain hole had gotten plugged up with acorn shells that tree rats had squirreled away under the transom.
Every inch of the inside was supporting a growth of moss that would make the north side of a swamp oak jealous. The seats were even supporting their own garden of greenery.
Deck boards crumbled at my touch. The screws holding the compartment lids were corroded. Even though they were stainless steel!
The rats nest of wires under the dash were appropriately named because rodents had chewed every spec of insulation of them.
Etc…
After assessing amount of ‘love’ and money it was gonna cost to get it going again… I decided it was a couple of magnitudes above my excitement over having a bass boat! So, I did what any self respecting UA-camr would do… I checked on progress of the most famous Bass Boat salesman in America. Donnie Baker (Bob & Tom Show) has been trying to sell the same bass boat since about 1990… and it’s still for sale!
That did it for me. I towed mine back to the neighbor’s place and thanked him for offering it to me…. And am watching Donnie Baker to see when his price comes down!
Good luck Cap’n. I’m sure it’ll be fine!
Hope you and the ladies have a fun and blessed Easter!
Good luck getting the mower running Captain Kleeman
29:16 Look at him go! I mean... Look at it! If that's not a happy mower I don't know what is!
Having not even touched a hand mower in my whole life but you know what I mean... you did it buddy! :) Hope it sells for a fair price.
My parents were RV dealers. I have done more than enough tent camping in the military both in the USAF and MI Army National Guard.
A funny story for you Captain from my USAF time in about 1982 when my movable radar squadron was out in the field for training. I was in the mess tent eating, My Commander, a Major was eating at another table kind of across from me. My CO asked me if I would rather be in a travel trailer? i told him. "Sir yes sir! My parents have sold them for years. Why wouldn't I want one!" My CO had an interesting look on his face like boy did I step into that one. He quickly inhaled his food and left!
Growing up in the RV business was great. The dealership was next to the house. Many of their customers not only became my parent's dear friends and mine too. I do miss my parents and our friends. Such good times! So many interesting places we traveled to.
Happy Easter 🐇🐰 🥚 hope to find you and yours in good spirits and health.
Good job Captain. Thank you for sharing and have Happy Easter.
Now you are really Captain, Captain!
Great video! You know what they say about boats: The two happiest days in your life! Lee
Boat + Captain, kind of natural. But you did give me one thought, I remember folks talking about how they love the smell of new-mown grass, but can't say I ever remember someone telling me how they love the smell of new-mown wild onions. Good luck on that project, will be waiting to see more.
This has been an amazing and fun challenge that you've done for you and your family love to see what you're going to do next thank you for sharing
Now you have really opened up a can of worms......hope this doesn't "SINK" this whole trade up series 😉
Another type of boat to apply your inquisitive and exquisite skills - great idea for the next trade-up too.
definition of a boat: a hole in the water into which you throw money. Good luck captain.
Congrats Mike! Likely the boat will be frustrating, but it will be an adventure and lots of fun while you have it.
You got there in the end, Captain!!
Mower sold, and you came back with a boat..... excellent !!!!
Happy Easter Mike and family!!
Yes!!! A boat!! This is going to be epic.
Great video Captain Kleeman
At 14:40 you are correct in that the switch was a "safety" switch to prevent mowing in reverse.
I, myself, never liked this particular switch as it made mowing cumbersome and a lot of wasted time, and "dead head" cutting. This is "one" of those switches that I would disconnect for myself.
Anti mosquito setting 😂😂😂😂
CK your brilliant man 😁😁
You know what they say about a Boat don't You Mike...(B)ust (O)ut (A)nother (T)housand. LOL...HAHA... Just Joking Bud. The Family will definitely love that ..Great job getting the old mower running. Can't wait to see what You find on that boat..Good Luck with it ..
Have yourself a happy Easter
Interesting next trade up project. Simply means family fun time.
good luck on the new trade up, can't wait to see you on the river, maybe some water skiing !!!, great video captain 👏👏👏👍👍👍
Really felt the ambiance around 7:30 was watching through the steam off my dinner and felt like I was right in the shed with ya 😂
Good morning young man and Happy Easter to you and your family sir. Always enjoy and wait for your videos. Thank you
This trade up is a great idea. Cheers.
Great video Captain. Unexpected ending! 🤔 Interesting... Living up to the name I see huh lol
That is definitely a perplexing machine. I’d bet it would actually come down to something pretty basic that’s being overlooked but it runs and can be shut off with a kill switch so why keep looking?
Now you have a boat to tie up to the dock with the UA-cam Yacht. Good thing you built the boat ramp when you had the DL550. 😉😉
🤣
that a win for the fix runs great and will keep on running now. well done captain. will see ya on the boat ride. cheers.
Mike, a few of your videos back, I referred you to a UA-camr who works on John Deere's. He specializes in 655's, 755's and 855's. He very detailed and I know you will enjoy watching him. He goes by: The Hole in the Water. I'm headed out to go work on the farm. I'll catch today's video this evening. Thanks, Mike. Lee
Well done, keep moving up
Sweet! And happy Easter to you and the fam!
Hi mike. There is no need to remind me to stay tuned as I can generally pick up a trick or two even though you say this is not a how to video. If there are any places nearby that have a comedy night, I would encourage you to attend a couple of nights to see what goes on and then sign up for some nights. I think you would win. Have good days!
Hello from the Netherlands.
thanks for the video Mike .
Sincerely Hollandduck
Mike you are the man,you have got some serious skills,impressive as always.on to the next project.just keep doing what your doing and thinking and carry on.kudos.😎😎😎👍👍👍👨🚒👨🚒👨🚒
Appreciate ya watching tom
As always, thank you Mike. I enjoyed that.
This series is exciting. The boat being the most recent surprise. It's neat to watch you fix stuff. And all the , I meant to do that moments. My kinda guy.
Your getting greedy, now you've got a yacht and a boat. Nice trade up, looking forward to seeing you both make it ship shape. 👍🤗
A boat " a hole in the water you pour money into " . I sure it work out fine. Have a great Easter brother.
Great job Capt,
May Father was a farmer and he said ‘nothing runs like a Deere, when it runs’. Although he owned two of them lol
Hard to outrun a Deere, when a Kubota is pushing it !
It looks like that last plug that you got in your hand right now or the unrengine you got Croatian on there if the other side's got. Corrosion on it too. You need to clean your For your safety switches.
It was grease
Great show Thank you!
I did enjoy the video. Love your channel. Thank you Capt. 👍
Happy Easter!
That’s awesome brother ! Keep it up !
Great show…. I like the variety
Awesome video! I am really enjoying this journey with you ❤️
Good new direction Capt 🇬🇧🇬🇧👍👍
Sea Ray, love those. Got one myself. Ya'll will have a blast.
A fella can always have on a boat! 🤠🤠
Nice going Mike
I know this is an old video. Just thought I would say great humour and the odd things you say does match with the sort of things and the way I say things I am over 60y and started working in my dads Blacksmith shop age 10y also I am dyslexic "thank god" it made me what I am... however my work shop is my dining table and my wife will not allow me to rebuild her 1960 dads motorbike.... So I renovate old sewing machines the current project is a Singer 13k treadle it looks a bit sad but now runs well not bad for an old girl born in 1882.
I wished I lived near and could give you a hand, but I am in the UK. My sister is a farmer in Ontario she is closer, her hubby works in a salt mine under lake Huron; prior to that in the UK he operated a cement quarry digger that had a bucket that could scoop up your house.
You and DP and MBTS and NYA Millennial make me feel happy.
my current project - I just replaced my dehumidifier yesterday the new one seems faulty will not go below 53% humidity, the 8y old one I just pulled apart and the 450v 7uf run capacitor is ssplit open. Now I need to take the new one back for an exchange and fix the old one. So we can dry the washing.
I'd put money on the kill wire being slightly damaged where it passes behind the starter. Common issue and can also be intermittent as it vibrates with engine and sometimes shorts to ground. Not a problem now though with your solution. 👍👍
I think so too
Great series great video still didn't figure out what was really happening but great video thanks captain
Keep up the great work. 😁
I expect someone has already said this but "the two best days of a boat owners life are the day he gets it and the day he gets rid of it. Of course I don't have nor have I ever had a boat so what do I know? either way I expect some entertaining videos from yours.
Keep up the great work.. Happy Easter Mike.. May God continue to bless you and the family!!!!
Begin TWC... Begin To Watch Captain?
Happy Easter buddy
Track warrant controlled. It’s a railroad sign.
Thumbs up 👍 Trading up or working up it still making up till you get what you want 😊
Love being able to catch the Latest video from the Captain first thing in the morning.... What a way to start the day. I went through a similar issue with my mower.... Disclaimer all my safety switches are disconnected ... but I'm not selling mine, lol..
Good job thanks for sharing
Nice work !
Quit the trade up bud. 🤗
thanks for the video
I'm going through my L120 and having the exact same issues. Gave me a few ideas! Hopefully I can get my riding mower back sometime soon. I'm almost convinced to create the kill wire setup you got lol
Love the video
Love your diagnosis, great job. Really enjoying your videos.
Good job.
I’ve owned a few boats over the years but the best boat I’ve been on is someone else’s
I was going to say "mow power to ya!" but that ship has sailed.
nice job
I did a similar cutoff on a mower I restored last year. It's a pull start and the choke when choked all the way down is supposed to kill the engine but it wasn't. So I added a kill switch.
Enjoy your video
I believe there a couple of diodes involved in the kill wire circuit on the two cylinder engines. The schematic should show them.
Correct, I think that was probably the issue
Thank you
Ha Bud I have been working on a 1989 16’tri-hull compl restoration hope to have it back water this year good luck and happy fibreglassing lol it’s a job for sure the price as great 👍👋🇨🇦
Nice work.Will you be on the river this summer? Thanks for the video.
What the heck.
From a camper trade up series to a whole in the water you throw money into boat changeup.
Boyo, I didn't see that one coming.
Gonna be a fun series that one.
Having lived down in the Keys for 10 years and been stuck with doing most repairs on my boss's two boats.
One of which I got to use when I wanted (19 foot Hoog with twin 200 Yamaha engines that had 150 on the covers he called a Harley on the water) keeping boats floating and running is not a cheap endeavor.
That said, I hope it's not a money pot for you Captain so you and your family can have an awesomely fun summer.
You may end up deciding to keep it.
It looks big enough to ski behind and if the girls learn how to ski you can pretty much give up on getting rid of it once thet have.
The typical life of a ski boat or fish/ski boat is that it is bought by a young couple with kids of skiing age. The first year it goes to the water every weekend. The second year it goes to the water on Memorial Day, the 4th of July, and on Labor day. The third year it is put up for sale.
That's not bad. It's useful toy that needs to be passed on.
A boat? You don’t even have enough to cover the first $1000 of bust out another thousand part. Oh well that’s why we watch your channel. Wouldn’t be Captain Kleeman if half the time you’re not scratching your head and thinking what his he doing?
Well, from land to water, interesting. Actually, I kinda had a feeling when you said "No more camper".
It's no U-Tube Yaht, but I guess that's what adventures are all about.😉
This one looks kinda fun.🙂
Perhaps a submarine for the next trade-up?🤔
I think you can also just put test light on that wire going to coil witch I think is a ground then a positive with it so light is on.then operate all the functions that has safety switches until light goes out
Glad you got it working Mike! I know it wasn't your problem in this case, but I hate those MTD ignition switches! I've replaced the one on my neighbor's zero turn twice in the last 5 years. They're just a copper disc hat turns with the key and a few copper points that wear down. I'm guessing you have the 3.0L 4 cylinder GM block in that thing. I would definitely check that the impeller in the lower unit is pumping so the block is getting cooling water. They're pretty cheap to change, but only last a few years. If the impeller breaks down, you lose water flow and overheat.
hello mike its is randy and i like yours video is cool thanks friends randy
Howdy Captain
A boats a great trade up as springs just about here & trades can get really high value !
👍🏻👍🏻because one is never enough
Well, Captain, a new one like that will set you back $2,500.00 or so today. Any price less than $1,000.00 is a deal!
Captain a Machine with a problem, and You have a red Letter Day!
I wish You and your family Happy Easter
Always check the safety on the grass shute first
Hey Mike,
The Only Thing I didn't see you test, and I suspect is the Backfire Prevention Solenoid in the bottom of the carb. I have had those go out and they will prevent fire to the engine. Super easy to test. pull out of carb and turn key to run, see if the plunger goes in and out. Hilariously great design - they usually screw into the bottom of the carburetor, where dirt collects. Someone didn't think that one through!
Tested in previous video
The anti-gackfire solenoid does NOT prevent "fire" to the engine. It blocks FUEL from entering the main fuel passageways.
He is risen! Love your show buddy!
If you still have the mower, the problem is the 20amp fuse under the hood in the wiring mess and you won’t need that kill switch
Try SEA FOME Good for cleaning carb.
