This is a Honda G150 that I got from the metal recycling yard along with the Compressor head that I did recently. This engine took a real beating in its past life, Hopefully, I can save it and give it some more life. If not at least give it a beautiful funeral.
I hope you enjoy the video.

More info on the engine in general.
Japan’s economy rapidly expanded throughout the 1960s period of high economic growth. Development of the country’s domestic infrastructure saw steady growth, while people’s lifestyles also greatly improved. By the 1970s Honda was setting its sights on markets outside Japan.
Honda had been exporting its power products since 1963. However, it was now beginning to formulate plans for what it called a ‘Million-Seller Engine’ (ME) for the international general-purpose engine market, which then totaled around 10 million units. With an annual production output of about 200,000 units, Honda was now planning to achieve annual sales of a million or more.
At the time, American-made general-purpose engines accounted for approximately 80% of the global market. These engines took advantage of the merits of mass production to sell at low prices. Yet problems persisted in terms of durability and maintenance.
Then, in 1977, Honda released its G150/200 general-purpose engine, the first developed under the new ME concept. The G150/200 incorporated new materials and new designs. With features like an automatic shutoff function for when oil volume was too low, a maintenance-free CDI ignition, a decompression cam for easier starts, and a kill switch for quick stops in emergencies, this engine successfully overcame virtually all of the weak points that plagued mainstream engines.
The G150/200 soon won a highly favorable reputation throughout Southeast Asia, where it became known as the red-and-white engine that steadily sold even when not displayed in the storefront, and found use in a wide variety of applications, including as an outboard motor and for powering pumps.
The engines developed under the ME concept eventually became a full lineup, and finally achieved the goal of a million units in annual sales by 1982. While this was only a tenth of the global market, it successfully showed the world Honda’s superior technological capabilities and vision.
Next on the horizon for Honda were lawnmowers for the US market. First, local needs were thoroughly investigated with detailed field surveys. Technology teamed up with novel ideas to overcome problems and succeeded in creating a new line of high-quality products that offered excellent durability and ease of use. Honda’s hallmarks of quality were now extending to the United States.

    I have this exact motor on my mums lawn mower..It was bought new in the 1970s.I bought a new carb for it off Amazon, changedthe oil regularly, & painted it up, & is still running perfectly.Never had the head off.I think these are rated at 3.5 hp..Mind you, when operating, it never goes over about 2000rpm.Oh ,& the oil leaks out of the crankcase where the governor lever is attached.There is no oil seal.Probably where this engine got all its mess from.Nice work.

    Don't use a punch to install bearings! Use a block of wood or an Arbor press. Also you need to torque the flywheel nut otherwise you risk the nut coming loose and the engine will not fire or run like crap because it's out of time. The flywheel can shift on the crank and break the woodruff key if that nut is not torqued correctly causing a no start condition!

    That appears to be a "kool-bore" aluminum block, those really shouldn't be honed due to the "glossy" looking surface being what seals against the piston rings, it did look like where were a few deep scores, so probably better to hone this one in particular, but the "kool-bore" blocks in general should not be honed.

  • @austonwhite4048
    @austonwhite40482 жыл бұрын

    I do not think it overheated but I can't be sure unless I can get a good look at the cylinder walls to see for any discoloring however that would have to be done after a very slate honing to take off the very surface to see the true extent of any damage that may be there and due to the fact that the bearing journals do not seem to be discolored indicates that it was not overheated I really think it was just run with a lot of dirty fuel and I mean really dirty fuel like varnish that's what happened most likely

    The yellow staining is from the oil. Full synthetic oils do this if the engine is not run for long periods of time when running. The red on the pistons is a coating. To help the piston move in the bore easier. You can see where it's been worn off on the skirts of the piston.

    Once you do this type of stuff more than 5 times (small engines) you can pretty much just look at a particular nut or bolt and know exactly where it goes. Even if you've only worked on one small engine ever multiple times if you've torn it down to the block you will always remember where everything goes. I even have memory affected by my epilepsy so it is pretty easy. Don't even lay mine out anymore just throw them in a pile while I'm working. Lol
