Welcome to my channel!
My name is Mike, my videos circle around the various projects I get into in my spare time.
The videos are typically related to vintage or antique generators / electrical equipment.
I work full time as an Emergency / Stand-By power generation technician.

    If someone added wire and something wrapped in it with the dial to dictate how much power to use was probably some sort of electric shock therapy device.

    I am trying to figure out at what price point do you get a reliable, serviceable engine, generator/ commutator and controls?

    @17:30 i think its a design flaw, of that particular model. The way intake and exhaust valves are interlocked with addition of the vacume draw inside the piston and the valve guide at the bottom.

    These cat generators are something else. There was a D315 generator at a show i went to and have posted a video on my chanel. To find an AC generator that runs at 1000rpm is very unusual in the UK. Impressive machine you have there. kzread.info/dash/bejne/lp2a1MGkqtG7crg.htmlsi=9JSVtT5e4saKLSK9

    I think when it is coasting, the gas is collecting between the adjustable valve and the springed intake valve. So possibly to much gas the first try? So eliminate the length between them?

    I have this exact unit. Would I be better off fixing and flipping it as a light plant or turn it into a tow behind power plant? I'm also not sure where to begin to check the wiring. The engine runs really well and just needs some maintenance and tuning. Thank you!

    I have an early 40's Kohler 1A21 and a 1950 3.5A21. Both run excellent, make good power, and people love to hear them run at iron shows. I use them to power everything in the display I have. It's a bunch of fun to show people the old equipment doing its job and doing it well.

    I have a 3-71 in my boat that was built in 38, and it was modified along the way and doesn't use a head gasket, I rebuilt it several years ago and it was a wonderful experience for me as i had. never worked on a diesel engine. I just work on my own engines. not a mechanic.It took me three months as it was in my boat in the marina and i did a whole bunch of research and had help from friends. One friend gave me a great navy publication called a students manual for gray marine diesel, publiched 1943 and another guy gave me a factory service manual for the 2-71 engine published in 1972. and i find many diesel mechanics will waste time on the phone talking about their favorite engines the 2 stroke detroits. not to mention videos on you tube covering every aspect of rebuilding these motors. I love this engine it is so trouble free and the physics and engineering in it are fun to learn about. I wish i had found diesel engines when i was young.

    I just dug up a 550 chipper, had never heard of the brand but ive immediately been met with plent of people who have good memories with it. Very interesting. This chipper i found looks quite Fd up and i dont know anything about mechanics so. I just hope this cool thing doesn't go to waste. I dont want to scrap it

    @robworrall6832Ай бұрын

    I remember hearing that the length of the hot tube affects the ignition timing, maybe it was the wrong length tube fitted originally or maybe because it's running on gas now, it may need slightly different timing? So cool tho and runnimg quite well in the vid.

    The gas pressure needs to be higher and then the intake valve pressure turns up so it don’t leak gas, because the spring equals out the gas pressure and when the engine sucks it makes the negativ pressure on the valve and it lets a Big part of gas in. More gas more power baby. You need to look at you exhaust valve-rod i Think there is a to Big gabe when it is full closed. Exhaust valve problem first, before more gas pressure problem

    Black exhaust usually means unburned fuel ⛽ !!? So you maybe have to check the fuel system for leaks or whatever it needs to burn less fuel !?
