Thanks for watching. This mini tiller or cultivator works just fine, but it has terrible fuel leak that needs to be fixed.
This video is meant as entertainment, always practice safety.
You done fixed it? Well, I'll be damned. Scooter told me it couldn't be fixed.
If I didn't need it anymore I'd do like I've done will all matters of stuff and give it to the kids. They can wear it out and worry with it and not me and I can ALWAYS use the room. Thanks and Be Blessed!
nice thank you Lewie McNeely
@@INSIDEHOUSEGARAGE Boffus, Laddie!
I'd mount the engine on a frame, & fit a 200 amp alternator to it, with cabling & switch to charge car batteries. I did this with an old mower once, except the alternator was an 80 amp unit. It worked very well.
ah nice idea!
Great video. Thank you.
You are welcome!
Glad you were able to fix the fuel leak from what you had on hand at that time .
thank you Turningwrenches85.
Those are sold at tractor supply. Harbor freight sells predator equipment.
ah thanks !
Great video!
Thanks!
I have a 33cc viper cultivator it's tank was busted too, got it to start and run wide open if you hold the gas trigger as you feather the choke off and on
nice work
@@INSIDEHOUSEGARAGE do I need to adjust the carb to keep it running or clean it out better?
no replace the carb, because the metering diaphragm is not working
I would think of putting it on a go cart for my granddaughter.
nice!
I think I'd put it on some type of hauling utility cart. Maybe like to move cut wood or to move larger things around the property.
nice idea!
I will put it on a mini bike. 👍🙏👍🙏
Nice!
well for me i would simply use it the way it use for cultivating light stuff or simply improving the soil in lawns for a good example to get it ready for the growing season for them come Spring Season etc.
you are correct this is only good for light duty.
@@INSIDEHOUSEGARAGE yep lawn repair work this would be good for in my view of books etc.
Quick question if I may.
I have a Honda gvc160 powered mower. When throttle lever is placed forward to the operating position the RPM is just a tad too slow. I know I can push the lever ever so slightly forward to achieve those extra RPM BUT my wife mows ( I’ve back problems) and she doesn’t quite get why I do it. ( the mower doesn’t perform as it should ie mulching is no optimal) I’ve looked at the set linkage. Have you made a video on adjusting it? If not that’s fine I’ll try to find something online. It’s just I comprehend things better visually.
Thank you
not a dedicated video, if you have a throttle lever, that means it must be a manual choke, where you put the throttle all the way forward, to choke, and then back slightly to go to full speed? if so then yes your cable might have come loose over time, causing the linkage to not work correct anymore.
@@INSIDEHOUSEGARAGE great place to start looking. That is they system I have. Manual choke. Thanks for that. Cheers
My eyes popped out when I saw the compression, that's a TON. I would put it online, those little diggers sell easy and you could use the money for the next fun project!
You made my heart hurt when you turned it up to see the leak in the grass, then filling it in the grass... that's my biggest pet peeve. 🤣
you are absolutely right about that.
Hey bro, what's up? I like this cultivator it looks like a nice piece of equipment for a kitchen garden project bro. If I had the engine of that cultivator I would put it on my cargo bicycle. It would make getting to and from my garden a lot easier.
nice, is that a 3 wheel bike then?
is that a 3 when bike then?
@@INSIDEHOUSEGARAGE no it is a 2 wheel bicycle with a basket in the front
Hi what was the spray you used before spraying it with water to clean of all the dirt?
I use Super Heavy Duty Degreaser from Harbor Freight
Watched.
thanks
I have 2 of these that I look after. Ran them before putting into storage for the winter and noticed the one was leaking something black on the cover for the carb/air filter. Dripping down onto where the handle attaches, under the on/off switch. It was thick and can’t see where it’s coming from. Any ideas? I’m thinking someone mixed the fuel too rich for starters and it’s leaking through a carb gasket or the air filter somehow??
it's an intake leak
@@INSIDEHOUSEGARAGE Thanks! I’ll check that first. Might be a spring project now though. It’s almost sled season here!!
With most owner's they don't read manual that comes with it
very true.
What kind of compression should that have wondering because mine will not start thanks
good compression is 130+, less than 130 shows some wear, and anything below 90 is getting really bad wear.
@@INSIDEHOUSEGARAGE thank you so much for getting back to me it really helped me a lot Keep up the awesome videos
no problem
Had a customer come in with an incorrectly adjusted throttle cable out of the box and he could only get ~20% throttle and burned up his engine on this exact model.
really, that's a real shame
Have you used that spark plug tester in a video before I’ve never seen that before?
yes I've used it a handful of times, but I have been more on my other channel.
@@INSIDEHOUSEGARAGE I’ve been meaning to ask why the 2 channels and what the difference?
in the beginning one was supposed to be diagnostic only while the other was repair, only, and the viewers hated that. The comment would always be, "where's the fix!" and "what Kind of channel is this"
Perhaps a mini bike.
my thoughts too.
Gust but a 87 cc engine from prediter or honda
50 cc
honda would be preferable but nothing wrong with the predator
Honestly what belongs on a mini bike is a 8hp or a 10 hp engine. Or if you want to go crazy like me just slap a 20hp in a mini bike.
nice choice!!
