Your channel is what makes KZread great. Glad to see your on the mend. Keep on making quality videos.

Glad you're still kicking! Thanks for sharing your knowledge & insight. Keep it coming.

I knew exactly what I needed to make something like this up, but I never would have known about the starter drive part that is fairly cheap and easily found in an old auto parts store. Thank you for posting this.

I'm just trying the idea for an electric starter for lawn mowers. Loved your enthusiasm & creativity !

Hey Jeff great vid! I used to love to ticker around with any machine I could get my hands but after a divorce, a heart attack a shattered ankle and a never ending lack of ambition I don’t do so much anymore. So it was really great to see some of your videos, keep it up!

Thanks for the education. Much appreciated. You're looking much better. Glad to see.

Wow just about missed this one all together. Sure was glad to see you toying around again. Best wishes, cheers.

Respect from the United Kingdom pal!, you probably saved me from injury because I was gonna use a normal drill to get my 200 cc 4 stroke go cart to start because the pull cord is broken and I think it’s also flooded so I have been struggling to get the thing going and it used to get started on the first pull.

Thank you 😊 you saved me from spending sooo much money on a new starter for my side by side. Now I can save up while still riding on our trails.

Love the 350X, I have a 83 200X and a 82 250R. I stumbled on to this channel today. . Your invention is really cool.

It is a neat looking new drill....and a good idea on starting your machines ...Stay Safe and get well soon ....

Thanks for your help I’m going to build one, I have broken my Milwaukee drill twice kept breaking the same bolt but thanks to you I’ll solve the problem.

Right on man.. so very glad to see and hear you again. God bless you and yours and thanks for sharing. The best on KZread. In my opinion. Good to visit with you.

I really enjoy every one of your videos. Just remember your wheelchair is temporary. I am in a wheelchair permanently. It's not so bad for me because I still have one leg to stand up and work under the hood and have a midrise lift that my wheelchair fits under. I've been working on cars professionally for 23 years, after I was injuried if been working in my wheelchair for 9 years and have adapted quite well. I can still do everything I used to be able to do in my wheelchair at my home shop, even heavy work. Stay positive my friend as it's the best way to overcome an obstacle. My home shop is much smaller than yours, but it is as organized and well thought out as your shop. I really like your ideas

Hay brother get a 12 volt starter for a polaris 400 2 stroke scrambler. it has a gear reduction drive and is about the size of a brigs & stratton starter but with the power of a car starter. then get an old 10 speed bike and rob the gear set off the rear tire. it will spin one way and free wheel the other. weld the 10 speed gear to the starter gear then weld your cranking sprocket to the other side of the 10 speed gear. now take one of your 12 volt drill lipos and wire to it with a switch. now make a small box to house all this in and you are good to go. or better than this is to just buy a hand held 12 volt remote starter like the ones the go cart racing community use to crank thee modified engines. those work amazing and would crank your atv all day no problem at all and cost you less than that big ass drill probably did! hahahah love ya bro, glad to see you thinking outside the box. i live outside the box! visit me sometime.

very nice job.

Aw man! Loving that. I'm definitely going to be ripping an old starter apart now and rigging that up. The old honda's with points, if they aren't running right, its torture to keep kicking them over and over again. Its so nice to be able to sit next to it, and just spin the engine over. Thanks for that info Jeff!!!! Great video as always sir. :)

Hi there Tom. I have a wingnut on the crankcase plug now so no tools needed other than the drill setup. Always wanted to build one of those starter drives. Left the Honda's and drill/battery outside overnight to see how good when freezing out. Spun the engine over like crazy. Just can't get over the torque that battery powered drill had.

Hey Jeff Dewalt has a new line of tools called Flexvolt. The batteries can be used on any Dewalt 20v tools. It's a 20v/60v battery. More mA on 20v tools or standard on 60v tools. They are pricey but maybe they could be used on your project. By the way there is also an adapter that lets you use the newer 20v batteries on the older 18v Nicad tools.

Great stuff Jeff just thought you might have better luck with a brushed dc motor since brushless uses a confusor to turn the zeros and 1s on and off with protection circuitry

Torque wouldn't be changed by voltage or current. Get a starter and modify it to run your tool you made. Weld a handle on it and you will get the Torque you want. Oh and wear insulated gloves. LOL Love the video. I am relying on an electric wheelchair myself so I understand the frustration.

hi there my friend that was a good video there my friend and that warranty claim thing was funny

The drill starter is a good Idea especially for those who may only occasionally need to start a small engine. For those who need to start engines on a more or less regular basis I think a portable starter made from a car starter and a lawn battery is more the ticket. Similar to the starters they use on formula 1 cars or racing go karts. Should be very easy to build and fairly cheap too if you use junk yard parts. Even a starter from a lawn tractor would probably turn that honda engine just fine, paired with a 7 amp hour SLA battery it would be reasonably light weight as well. Anyways just thinking out loud.

We've got a wheel chair in shop for working under the lift. Just think, everything you drop is much closer!

Take care buddy

Hi Jeff love your video, just a thought, try a starter motor off a car like a small smart car.

Here’s a thought Jeff. Try a little different technique in how you apply the drill. When you hit the button, hold loosely on the drill and let the handle slip or rotate a bit before you catch it firmly, kind of clutch it by hand. Not too loose. You don’t want it to get out of hand. But that way the drill is moving when the sensor checks and maybe it adds a little zip on the initial punch too. Loved that shot of the bird on the silo. Really captures a moment in Midwest landscape and outdoors when you panned out. Be real youtube, face life without the booze.

More three wheelers is good its like another bonus to the channel those are some minty machines!🤙🤙🤙👌👌👌💣💣💣💥💥💥😂

I use 3/8" ratchet adapter, it spools up fine when engine starts before you get it removed.

try holding it so the handle is not on the foot peg and use a lottle strength ot even a ppring to lighten the initial start up load on the drill. Or use an extended on that handle to increase the moment arm by which you can hold it in place.

Buena idea yo tengo esa pieza de starter así no ay que preocuparse a que te bote la mano

Thanks for you build !! Great idea !! Liked !! From my background in electronics, I would say the voltage drop on the hanging battery is enough to cause it to supply less than 1/3 of the current that would be possible if it had heavy wire. It looked like you used 12 gauge wire which is good for 20 amps which seems like that is ok ... but that 24 inches ( i figured 6 in x 4 - each battery for each color) of 12 g wire offers a lot more resistance than the battery that is hooked directly to the drill. In addition i guess it's the current regulator on the motor that is kicking out ... so even with a bigger battery you will probably still have the problem - i am only guessing on that :) Good Luck !!

That trike is an oldie. I don't recall when production of them ended.

I made mine with a harbor frieght halfinch drive socket wrench cyt the handle off amd tacked welded a drill chuck on the other end and made sure to keep the clockwise and counter clockwise selector free to be able to change depending on the engine and when the engine starts it spins freely just the same as the socket wrench would and it engages in whichever direction u choose and it took about 15 mins and 10 bucks to make instead of ripping apart a chevy starter i mean ur tool definitely looks nicer but mine does the job and is really strong also i found using a air tool or a corded drill it doesnt struggle or potentially ruin a cordless also at lowes u can buy these drill starters for craftsman weedwhackers the tool cost 20 bucks but is ment fir 50ccs and under

Great video...The starter drive on GM turns the other way...The way I learned it is the Ford motor Lose time... Turning CCW and GM gains Time...Turning CW...which means starter drive turns opposite direction ...IDK if that helps

I have a 1980 Yamaha 250 XT. Can you give me some help on how I could retro fit a permanent electric start on to this bike. I am not quite heavy enough to kick start it easily. I love this video and the way you think. Hope you are up and around with no pain.

Jeff, thanks for the video. I have an outboard motor that I need to rig up DIY starter for. They offer an electric starter kit, but charge $750 for it. I was wondering how to make a safety drive & the Chevy starter drive unit looks like the answer.

Hi Jeff, Great video. It is absolutely essential to have this DIY drive adapter for this job. Although I have a drive adapter for my Craftsman weed eater, I did not know, it had a free wheeling shaft. For other equipment I used the drill machine. I have started various motors with my DeWalt DC995 without the adapter without any problem. However, recently I reckoned my drill machine and had to buy a new one, now DC998. The kick back of the motor ruined my planetary gear in the drill machine! I have searched the internet for an adapter like yours, but could not find it. I could send you a picture of the damaged planetary gear, if I new your email.

Liked the video before I watched it! I wonder how one of those battery powered impacts would do?

@2jeffs1

5 жыл бұрын

Hi Tony. If you meant to use for the cranking purpose the impact's are a different design to obtain the torque with a hammer effect. I did use an impact to tighten the crankshaft bolt a bit above normal where it is being turned backwards (loosen direction) to start the engines in an abnormal way... You bet, did follow your thought idea for sure!

hello a friend of my use this set up to start his 1947 airplane I think it is about 50 hp he used to start it my hand flipping prop but plane started one time and power was set to high so he garbed the wing strut and had it hit the hanger so now he can start it while setting in the plane

Great vid i have a klx 650 do you think the same concept would work to start that i cant kick it on if my life depends on it

Interesting and informative video. Did you consider getting the Dewalt XR Brushless 3 Speed high torque 1/2" drive Impact Wrench instead of the drill/driver. Seems like the Impact Wrench would've been more suited to what you needed the tool for. Great video and a great education in power tool electronics. Tesla's interest in the possibilities of AC current is vindicated once again.

Hi just stumbled upon your Channel, brilliant idea on your One Way Drive mechanism! if you sell one of those One Way Drive starter attachments how much would it be?? I do start my chipper with my drill

This is something I have been looking for for years. May I know how strong the torque?

Good video. I have to make me one of these. Maybe use your foot starter to turn the engine to TDC on a/the compression stroke. Too bad there is no compression release. I have a little 3hp briggs that I was starting with a 1/2" drill with a 1/4" socket extension. After it kicked back twice it twisted off the extension. Pulled out my hair on that one. Turned out the flywheel was not a great fit to the crankshaft. A session with valve lapping compound fixed it.

That gel cell that you connected up doesn't have the high amperage discharge rate like those lithium-ion batteries. The gel cell will struggle to discharge at 30 amps but the lithium batteries will produce over 100 amps or more. I learned about batteries way back when I was racing RC cars. Yep, had a few hard lessons in batteries.
