    Looks good! The cleanup was spotless even though you didn't get to hone the cylinders. I have a theory that some engines are just lonely. When you ignore them they'll act up. But if you give them a bit of attention, even if it isn't a full rebuild, they'll act the best they can! Sounded good on start up too. Your Dad left you a good gasket. He must have been a Volkswagen guy too! Even if you can't straighten the dents in the doors, you will be able to keep the heat off stopping you if you paint all the rusty spots white. I have painted a few jalopies over the years with a brush and roller and never got stopped or inspected. The tire smoking at the end was really classy!! You know how to impress!! LOL

      I feel the same way. Sure, it's a hunk of iron and aluminum but I think over time they acquire a soul of their own. Sure fine it can all be explained scientifically but the previous owner(s) put over 200K miles on it. Something of that became part of the machine. After a while it got long in the tooth and they neglected maintenance, drivers front wheel bearing, bodged alternator mount, just keep it running a while longer. Then it got smacked on the side and abandoned like an old horse that can no longer pull a wagon. It didn't want for much. A few hours of attention and it runs like a song. The car itself is far too rotten away to even bomb around on the mountain here. The subframe/engine cradle is hanging by a thread and that kind of bums me out but the engine and trans are going in our driver. In a sense it gets to live on. After it's stripped of everything I need, maybe I'll hoist it up into a tree and have a cool tree house!

    Hi man. So funny. I was looking for Robin Wisconsin engines and came across this old video of yours. Someone gave me an old Makita generator and it has the W1-185 Robin Wisconsin engine in it (same as this one, I think). It has spark and rolls over. That's all I know so far. I'm going to try a sniff of ether and see if it fires. The fuel is old and bad so the carburator is probably hooped/gummed up. It will be a project coming up soon.

    • @heliarche
      @heliarche 3 місяці тому

      That's pretty wild! This video is a while back. My Dad bought this engine from somewhere for a song and brought it home. Maybe give yours a little squirt of oil down the cylinder, roll it over a few times with no spark plug. At least it has spark though. I don't know much about these Wisconsin Robin engines but I think it might be hard to come across parts for them. As I remember, the carb on this one was horribly corroded and came apart in pieces. I couldn't find a proper Wisconsin carb for it so I had to go with a Chinese carb. I still have this engine. It's been sitting in fairly dry storage waiting for if I ever need it. Hopefully your carb comes apart nicely and you can just clean it up.

Most people store these with the gas in them and it turns to varnish and crud, as you know. I see Amazon has new (knock off) carburetors for $25 so if that is the issue I may jus put one of those on.

Also give a slight tug on the wires. Not hard enough to break them, just move them around a little bit. If a wire has a break, wiggling around on them might make the wiper work for a bit and then you know the problem. Same for connectors.

      These are certainly a strange engine compared to anything else I've worked on but once you get around the oddities they're really nice to work on. I soaked this thing with ATF/acetone for 2 weeks before I even tried for the head bolts and I used that air hammer to impact and shock the bolts.

Just wondering what might have happened for something to do the electrode like that. If it's bolts holding the head I'd soak them over a few weeks and when you go to loosen them, give them some good raps with a ball peen hammer. Don't hammer on them if it's studs and nuts with exposed threads. If it's studs and nuts, probably try heating the nuts as best you can with a torch. As soon as they move, don't try to just run them out. Work them back and forth back and forth and try to move just a little more each time. Your patience is going to be your best ally.

    Nice Frankenstein Truck. I like that it's still rolling even though it's had to have a few face-lifts, a tummy-tuck, and a quadruple by-pass. Those carburettors have an accelerator pump inside that gives a shot of gas to the barrels when you hard-stomp the pedal. But, like you said, it doesn't like that now. The dash looks like one I had in an old chevy 1500...all cracked from the sun. It would make for huge content if you could show the process of getting the coal. Many people don't have coal to burn and it would be interesting to film it. Every time I see one of the 350s I think of the time I sold my '77 Cutlass Supreme to a guy for $400. It wasn't running well cold but ran OK hot. I mucked with the carburator for days before I decided to sell the car and a few tiny parts were lost from a jet (small ball and spring). I sold it and didn't say any different. Always felt bad but that was decades ago. I have cleaned up my act since then (I Think). Legend has it that that guy is still roaming the back roads trying to hunt me down after trying to start the car the next day cold and it ran like sh*t.

    • @heliarche
      @heliarche 5 місяців тому

      It's had more work than Joan Rivers. I know the accelerator pump was working but that carb sat for probably 10 years or better on that engine and I haven't even opened it up. I don't even know when I'd get to doing it. It works fine if you roll into the throttle, just don't smash it to the floor instantly and you're OK. I can live with that. Shortly after this video I called my local coal yard only to find that they're no longer in operation. Just completely shut down. It was a 20 minute drive and the next nearest place was an hour and a half. That truck gets 8MPG or maybe 12-ish KPG unloaded. It's geared really low. That kind of drive would be costly. It stinks because it's a really neat process how they load you. You drive over the scale to get an empty weight, then into this tall building and into one of three spots depending on what size of coal you want and a guy up top pulls a lever and let's it rip right into the back of the truck. Then you park on an uphill bank for a few minutes to let the water drain out. I guess they keep it wet to keep the dust down. Coal has already gotten pretty expensive over the last couple years. I don't know if they simply ran dry on the coal vein or is there some political nonsense happening. I found a yard that would deliver but I had to double the amount that I was really ready to pay for since they have a minimum delivery of two tons. We made it work with a little to spare but it was close. I think next year might be firewood. It's not the same but it'll keep us warm enough. A decent and purpose made wood stove would probably perform better than this coal stove and I'm thinking about switching it as much as I hate to do it. Sentimental reasons. We've had this coal stove here just about as long as I've lived here. I often think of my Father when I stoke it up and rake the ashes. Hey, thanks for watching my videos and commenting.

      I'm sure teamwork makes it better out there, especially at night. Some vehicles are loud inside and it sounds like the Scout is a rattle-can that magnifies the sound. I drove a Chevy Chevette at one time and it was a noisy ride too. I actually miss that little car. It was dead-simple: four cylinder, no fancy computer junk, simple dash/ on off heater controls and an AM/FM radio, and that's it. They were reliable cars but they had one terrible flaw: The brakes were the Sh**ts. No matter how good a repair, using new parts, the brakes were held in with clips that moved and caused endless difficulties. When I finally wore it out and sold it, I bought an S10 truck and right away I saw the brakes were lasting years! The Scout you have is identical to one a friend had up in Northern BC, out on a small island community. There were no real roads, just a path for walking through the 50 or so houses, just wide enough for the Scout that had no doors and was used for hauling bigger items and doing village maintenance projects. @@heliarche

    I'm so glad that arrived in one piece. It was a random selection at the last minute and it may not have included all the stuff I had earmarked for you. I didn't notice that the compass was missing the lock screw. I tried to put useful things in there and not junk. I really like the old popular mechanics magazines too and can waste many hours in one. The old ads are cool to see from today's perspective. I can see that everyone was hopped up on sugar pie near the end Ha Ha I bet that didn't last long. The tiny grinding wheel was near a valve resurfacing machine in the shop so it may have been off that machine. I have the same vernier caliper with a dial on it here at home and they are handy, especially if you want a quick measurement without reading manual scales. There were a lot of worn down tool bits that I almost sent but most were worn down to a nub, plus they're heavy to mail. If you behave and listen to everything your wife wants you to do for the next year, you may receive another box of goodies the next time I'm back there sorting through the old shop. Maybe even another sugar pie. Glad to help out and glad to see the books will provide entertainment and info. Take care and Happy new Year. All the best to you!

      Everything you sent is much appreciated and for the most part is already in use. I had thought a few days ago if that grinding wheel could have been from some sort of tiny surface grinder. I can probably make or at least find a screw for that compass. No big deal there. When I was a kid we had a few bid boxes full of old Popular Mechanics magazines. Some of the ideas of what the future would be were pretty wild and impractical but certainly not impossible. I was always fascinated by what used to be and what was possible. The illustrations were great as well. That magazine you sent takes me back decades to days when I would spend hours in the attic going through them page by page. That diesel book arrived at a very good time. Injection pumps are something I've never attempted to even tear apart. If it's working, leave it alone. If it's acting up, swap it out. It used to be that we had 10 of them on a shelf and it was easy to find more. Now it's coming time that I'll have to be more capable. That book doesn't show exactly a Bosch injection pump for an 86 VW 1.6 NA diesel but it shows a few different styles and gives me a good idea of what I'm in for should I have to tear one down and a ton of good general information. The sugar pie led a good life. It saw a little bit of the world before being consumed with vigor. Sorry it took me so long to upload this. I don't do many videos and I wanted to keep it as a test for the upcoming fiber optic service. It used to be about 3 hours to upload a ten minute video. This one was mostly uploaded by the time I had the settings and whatnot taken care of. Maybe 3 minutes. It's pretty impressive. That was always something that bugged me about doing video.

I feel that the only thing to do about all the rampant spending and debt and corruption and material attainment and competition for the new new things and is to just pick a peaceful path away from it all. People don't change. Not easy. The simple life is best. The Buddhist's strive for non-attachment...no wanting anything. A simple path. It's difficult to do but some do it well.

      I figure that's sort of what I'm after. I don't have money or credit to go after the New and Shiny anyways but the way I was brought up and the way I live, I don't want it. I'm certainly no Buddhist Monk but I figure living simply is pretty nice. You have to be somewhat handy but there's no high level of skill involved. My Dad lived the same way as I do. The scrap pile, the junkyard, other peoples cast offs. Creativity and patience. He was QC for DANA at a plant that made truck frames and he made decent pay. Not hand over fist money but decent. He had credit and there were a handful of times that he used it but he was always 100% sure he'd pay it off early. He could have signed in to the same nonsense of New and Flashy that everyone else was doing but that wasn't him. He loved that life and honestly so do I. Repairing instead of trashing it was his way and I think he found a lot of joy in it as do I. It's getting a little harder to do this though. Tools, parts, supplies, everything is being made quicker faster cheaper and I'm not as good as those Cubans. People have moved on from self reliance and I think I'm expected to follow along. Thanks for hearing me out. I hope I'm not coming off like a complete nut job or just pissing and moaning. I like that VW. I'm running into issues on it that I wasn't expecting but that's par for the course and overall I'm having a great time working on it. I wish I could somehow graft in some old GM door handles though. After the Beetle, VW door handles kind of went to shit.

Strangely I was looking for vids of smallblock lifter noise and found a guy who had the same thing happen when he dropped the rear of his trans and the cap kind of mashed into the firewall. It was a huge relief when I wiggled the cap, it snapped into place and the engine sounded proper.

This is my Fathers truck. It's been sitting possibly ten years now and I need an engine for my K-20. This one ran nicely. As I was going along and doing this I was constantly seeing things that he did. A splice here, a zip tie there, the hand operated choke. The manner in which he rigged up the throttle cable. The way he clocked the hose clamps so someone could get to them later. Sometimes the transmission would lock up. You had to have the right touch when shifting. I'll probably open it up and check everything out and then do a gasket set. The engine in my K-20 was showing wear on the main bearings when we got it. Yup... Everything is changing all the time.

    Good progress on the buggy. I like old gauges. Did you know that many new gauges are "Idiot gauges?". For example, most new cars have gauges that sit steady above a certain parameter. Oil pressure gauges sit at about 2/3 of the needle range once the engine produces about 5 P.S.I. They don't actually read what the pressure is. This was done so that drivers could make a quick glance at the dashboard and if all the needles are about mid-way, then everything is fine. Most new vehicles have these gauges with few actually having gauges that read all the way up from zero! Damn communists ! I'm at my villa in Spain this month, just kicking back with the new girlfriend. We sit by the pool all day in the shade of a big palm tree, sipping margaritas. Nibbling on sponge cake, watching the sun bake. All of the tourists covered in oil. Some people claim there's a woman to blame but I know, It's my own damn fault!

This was cheap, mostly stuff I had on hand, and it'll give me a good idea of what the engine is doing. As of now, I screwed my back up so I'm doing light duty. I'm working on headlights. I have a set of lights from a 1971 Mobilux Cruiser. I made housings for them and they look a lot like the lights from a Peterbilt 359. The headlight switch is scavenged from the same Mobilux, the dimmer is from a 1989 Ford Bronco. The components are mostly in place but I have to wire them and wiring is not my forte. It's getting to the point where I should install some kind of fuse box or maybe some inline fuses.

I then flew down to my Island in the Carribean to sit at one of my villas until I felt better. It looks like you got this one fixed. Was it the fuel pump (I see you holding up a bottle of fuel? or was that Vodka? In the old country, everything worked better with some vodka in the mechanics. I see you are now on IV drip of Vodka,,,good idea.). The last time you mentioned the passat, you were thinking it was the complicated fuel injection system. Your bypass seems to have worked. What exactly did you do? Good to have helpers to turn keys and step on the gas. So many times I have to start things and use a stick on the pedal. I find that most times, people are better than sticks but not always. Many times I prefer sticks.

      Long short of it, I had it to a guy who seemed knowledgeable with this thing and he came up empty. He was suspecting the engine itself. That theory didn't sit right with me. I wanted to check the engine itself without the CIS(fuel injection) messing with me. I unbolted the throttle body and made an adapter to bolt on in its place. The bottle is just gasoline. I didn't expect this to run nearly as well as it does considering this is just all kinds of wrong. This is by no means a fix, it was just to prove whether or not my engine was hooped. Say, if you make any junkyard runs and you happen across any of these, I could use some pieces. These are rare as hens teeth in the States, especially the wagons.

Most of the uprights on the walls were completely rotted away and the paneling wasn't far behind. It was well beyond my means to bring it back. It wasn't even good for a storage shed. It had to go.
