What's on your bench?

My freebie 20 year old craftsman with a 18hp Briggs I've run it 4 year's no maintenance just to see how long it would last View attachment 252889Uses a bit of oil
Champion just now let go.

It didn’t let go, it drowned.

I have been tripping over this for a few weeks so I decided it was time to have a closer look.







I have it apart and mostly cleaned up at this point.



The muffler is pretty bad, recoil spring broken, one ring is stuck , I haven't checked the coil yet but the potting epoxy is cracked.

Ended up getting power back this morning, was without power for about 36 hours. Got my ride back yesterday as well! Feels like brand new again. Only other thing she needs is a new set of sneakers which she'll get next year. Decided to make an autopsy video of the failed PTU as well. Have a few generators coming in for repair this week coming up as well.

Johnson 35 that overheated bad. Guy put multiple water pumps in it but couldn't get it to cool...I was tasked with getting it to cool. New water pump, driveshaft tube spacer, head gasket and it still wouldn't pump. Pulled powerhead and found this... totally melted..it's NLA, hopefully we can find one if he decides to repair it.

He said his ground guys can’t get them started. I check them over and both saws started without any problems.

Needs new ground guys!

I got to cut a load of wood so I’ll run them some more later today,

 

[MustangMike]

Likely they were flooded. It is the problem that usually cures itself with time!

 

[dustinwilt68]

If I had a ground crew they would only get echo saws, on off and choke is stupid simple on them.

 

[Backtroller]

I’ve been there. You miss that first “pop” and pull it again....then again....then you’re calling it a piece of junk

I stopped wearing headphones while starting and try to start some of my saws away from other running saws.

 

[huskyboy]

Sometimes the metering lever can be set a bit too high for hot weather and they flood too easily (too low popoff pressure I guess).

How difficult can mtronic be to operate? Or Autotune?

 

[dustinwilt68]

Autotune switch has been a issue since it came out, especially with the older group, got a 2253 once w 14 min on it, guy couldn't figure out how to start it once home, traded back in for a 490 echo. Mtronic seems easier.

Got her all finished up. Ended up robbing an exhaust tuner from a Johnson 25 and once I put it all together it worked! Now the guy will be able to take grandpa's ashes for a final ride this weekend.

Version 2.0 using Delphi weather pack connection. I wanted something a bit more weather proof than the spade connectors. This way I don’t need to worry about dampness or vibrations.

Those connectors were used in BRP (Sea-Doo) watercraft for years. VERY rarely were a problem. You should not have to fool with that unless a stick or whatever damages a wire near it.
