Well I had been eyeing this engine off for so many years.. This edger was sitting in our shed for years, then it went up to my grandparents shed for a few years.. then it came back to ours.. Dad had a bit of a cleanout this weekend and decided it was going to go. So I clamed it lol..
It's a 3hp 4 stroke.
I was bored yesterday so I started pulling it apart and tweeking it up to see if I could get it to run a bit better.. Drilling out the muffler, removing the air filter, removing the blade + extra pulleys, and running it on thinners did the job lol.. It revs killa now.
This is just something to do in my spare time thats not spent working on the tory.. which is very very minimal lol.. So it wont be started officially until the tory is back on the road.
And today I supercharged it..
Dead set lol. Used an old vaccuum pump thing that was laying around. It looks exactly like a turbo lol.. It pumps a shit load of air, and when I get a bigger pulley on the engine, it will be pumping out heaps..
I just mig'd the shaft of it onto the pulley where the blade used to be, and made a quick little bracket to hold it a bit steady.. It was all done in 15mins, if that lol.. I jammed a bit of vacuum hose on the end and thats what I used to sit on top of the carby haha.
At the moment it is not getting enough fuel. The only reason it is running was because I had the choke all the way out. But thats not ideal lol.. Tomorrow I am probably going to waste my time again on this, trying to modify the carby to pump more fuel in.. When I should be working on the tory. But hey, it's fun lol
I got some more pics of it all close up but they are on my phone. I'll put them up tomorrow.
Cheers,
It's amazing what you can do when bored lol
Video of it in action!
