@@FrankInAShed He'd be better off buying a second hand one a few years old. The ex rental ones go pretty cheap once a new model comes out because everyone wants the latest ones to rent.
I just realised that I've probably watched ~50 engine teardowns on YT and I don't remember ever seeing anyone showing the full reassembly process, most times they show the teardown then skip onto everything being back together again. This was incredibly interesting and educational, cheers Mustie.
This whole project with making working engines out of junk and making two work in tandem has definitely been one of your more interesting series, Mustie.
Well that's just ridiculous. AND I LOVE IT! I remember another engine mating on one of the bikes, and I enjoyed that one too. The backyard engineering you have shown us over the years has taught me a lot, and I appreciate it. And you have no plausible deniability, so I can do whatever I want and it's all your fault! Thanks again for all your work in taking us along for the ride.
I don't think it is going to work to deliver twice the HP though. Maybe 30hp combined if they are both 20hp motors. You have to remember these are highly engineered and optimized motors not meant to be in this configuration.
See kids, this is what happens when you start by putting an extra fork on your 26" bicycle to make your own chopper when you were 12. You end up putting two engines together as a adult!!!! Cool project man, can't wait to see the rest!!!
It's friggen amazing the ideas Herr Doktor Professor Mustie comes up with. I hope he uses them on a 2 person tricycle build. I love his bike builds. The Steampunk one is my favorite.
Ahh! The anticipation mounts. WHAT is Darren going to build with this? Inquiring minds want to know but, they're willing to wait. I have a feeling this is going to be a Muste1 masterpiece that will live long in the annals of history.
At first I thought he would put it on that skid steer with the worn out Kubota engine, because if I remember correctly the original engine of that machine was also 40HP
A couple of years back, my mind rambled to your project. I was having problems with my ford tractor. But, I never acted on it. I'm glad to see that I'm not alone.
The keyway created by the grinding wheel and the file is one of THE most impressive things I have seen you do and I have been watching and subscribing from the beginning. Brilliant!
Musti, Growing up in a very rural area several of my friends and I had go karts. They were home built, not racing and nothing fancy. Just fun to ride around on our dirt roads. One day a neighbor a few years younger asked me if I'd help him learn to rebuild a small engine. So, we found a couple of 3hp Briggs and we went thru the steps on both engines at the same time. When we were done, we didn't know what to do with them because our go karts all had 5hp and who'd want to go down to a 3hp? Then I got the idea to do like you did and connect them and put them on my go kart. I pulled the crankshafts out and took them to school and drilled and tapped one and threaded the outside of the other. So they simply screwed together to make the connection. Then I tied both engines together at the cylinder head bolts and bolted them to my go kart. I made a common intake manifold out of copper water pipe and a steel plate to bolt a 6hp Briggs updraft carb to. My neighbor was a plumber and he offered me a torch and something he called Fonsen (sp?) to use instead of solder. Fonsen was stronger than solder and melted at a higher temp, but did not require red hot like brazing. In the end it worked very well. It was funny how some of the neighbor adults told me how important it was to have them synchronized in some way. They told me the two engines were fighting each other the way I had it. I really never caught on to what they were saying because I knew from personal experience that my go kart was A LOT FASTER w/ the two 3hp engines than it was with the single 5hp. My go kart was quick from the start and it went at least as fast as the 5hp engine pushed it. And it sounded neat too. I made no attempt to synchronize them and it sounded like a Harley. Thanks for jogging my memory. ben/ michigan
I think, best way to sync the the carburettor - is to do as on mc with double carburettor, connect both to vacuum gauges. And calibrate them, then link them together.. Good work.
Genius at work, do not disturb. Thanks mustie for your willingness to do these videos and the experience of your videos are always helping others. You a good person and teacher. Thanks for letting me go along for this journey. God bless you and family ❤🎉
well it happened finally, I found myself talking back to Mustie and carrying on the conversation😂 totally consumed by these great videos, thanks again Mustie for another great Sunday treat.
Daren there is a chain coupler that would work way better. It's basically like a sprocket on each motor with a double chain wrapped around them. They would give two benefits. One would rigidity, and also turning one tooth at a time timing between the motors.
Very cool. Its so satisfying to watch your process. Even my 85 year old Mother watches your videos now, and she has absolutely no interest in learning how to repair old engines.😂. You're the best, Mustie1. ✌🤟
In the late '90s Dixie Chopper made a zero turn lawn mower with two Kohler 20Hp twins tied together with belts running to an over-running clutch that drove the main belt driving the mower. I don't remember the model number but it was a 72" cut and would handle just about anything you could throw at it. When those engine RPMs were synched together it had a great exhaust note, similar to a twin airplane.
Now that is interesting. I do know the brand name but never knew that they constructed something so "radical" and sold it that way, but it does represent a lot of mechanical and maintenance complexity that could explain why it is not commonplace. Thanks for sharing.
I thought that you were crazy when you started this project, but those two engines sounded GREAT when they both started! I can’t wait to see what you come up with to use this Frankenstein-engine in! That’s for keeping us entertained on Sunday mornings.
Absolutely fantastic Darren. I recently subscribed to your channel- my Dad is a man like you, loved tinkering with mechanical stuff on our farm and repurposing stuff to meet our needs - including rebuilding our tractor engines. Getting to see a full engine reassembly is a rarity and sincerely thank you so much for sharing this with us - us Irish men appreciate a good mechanic when we see one!!
Very interesting project Mr. Mustie! Very cool to see the two engines running together. Excited to see what the future holds for this combination! Thanks for a great video on this Sunday morning.
I remember when I was younger how apprehensive I was about tearing an engine down this far because I was worried I would mess something up. Now this is my favorite part about engines. Checking the clearances and such.
Back yard mechanicing at its best and what I really like is you don't throw stuff together, you think about it as well and predict the possible issues.
The slo-mo close-up/sound effects at 0:40 are outta this world! Almost as much fun as old make-and-break stationary engines running at 10 or 15 rpm. ETA: The syncopation from 1:01:20 is wild! Darren, you the Maestro of the internal combustion engine.
Darren, I never miss your videos, rarely comment. I was thoroughly entertained by this one. The slo-mo of the exhaust valve functioning was fantastic! The Frankensteining of the engines together was typical Mustie and absolutely great!!! Thanks for the video!!!
Way to go, Darren!! Your channel is the very first one I subscribed to quite a few years ago and it is still on the top of my watchlist! I totally agree with the previous comment, best slo mo valve shot I've ever seen. Keep it up, I am looking forward to this project, the longest v- four I ever seen!!
One of your best mustie,you need a collar behind the coupler to stop it walking back again,short piece of snug pipe will do it,never walk back again otherwise perfect,always watching from australia, cheers
Great job! I've worked with those couplers. So long as it's tight, the rubber is a little forgiving. If it gets too far off it will chew through it. If I were king and writing the checks, I'd run those engines at varying speeds for an hour before going much further. If there's gonna be a problem with it , it will show up then. Looking forward to the next one!
This just screams lawn tractor dragster. I cant wait! This is the best stuff yet !! just like the Double -Take Bike!! Thanks Mustie for doing all this fun stuff!! Cheers from Southern Ontario Canada Earl!
That engine setup would look really cool in an old cub cadet with a stretched front end. I have a stretched cub cadet and now I have an idea of a motor to use. Thought about a four cylinder out of a car but now that you did this makes me want to try something like this!
Love the project, I can only imagine what it sounds like live! I would be a little concerned about cooling however. The "front" engine dumps its hot air right towards the intake of the other engine, which might make it get a little too hot. Maybe a little baffling when it gets installed would help.
Your slow motion exhaust valves running with the fire highlighting the valve was just enough to put me to sleep last night. came back again tonight to watch the rest but made sure I was past the slow motion hypnotist thing you had going on. Thanks Cool Project.
A suggestion for the set screws on the coupler. Drill a little into the shaft where the set screws are so that they have something to grip in other than just a pressure fit against the shaft . Maybe even drill and tap them bigger so they are a little more rugged . The twin engines is cool. Can't wait to see what you are putting them in
This Project ist nice! You explain very well, what you're doing and how things play together. That's a great motivation for me (and propably others) to repair their stuff on their own. At first i thought you are building a new engine for your bobcat.😮
Thanks again for producing quality videos - by yourself! I am patiently waiting to see what this project turns into - I'm guessing a dragster golf cart? I also see a slo- mo camera in your future for smoother shots of moving metal. Keep up the good work!
What is very cool about mustie's Channel, when you go to comments most of the time everyone is very rational and sane, no drama queens and kings. Sweet!
There is a guy who did about the same thing at one of the engine shows, he set his up at I think 90 degrees out so it has a F1-R2-F3-R4 firing order. Sounds pretty neat and runs very smooth. His uses a double row chain coupler and shortened crankshaft and is powering a Cub Cadet chassis that he uses as a butt buggy
@@ohespeh At many of the engine/tractor shows you are not supposed to bring golf carts or scooter type machines to ride around on. The way around that is to build a "butt buggy". Take a garden tractor, tiller or similar and add a second seat or connect up a trailer and now you have a "show legal" way to ride around the show and not have to walk. I have seen garden tractors, walk behind tractors (with a sulky) and hundreds of variants of them built.
Great video, I cant wait to see how this develops. Are you thinking of rigging up a manifold to just run a single carb for both engines or will you be trying to control both carbs at the same time?
There are these double roller chain coupler things. 1 sprocket on each engine, and chain connects them, allows for a little bit of misalignment but should be a lot stronger than the rubber.
Consider making a common throttle linkage between the two engines which would be adjustable. You could sync the carburetors so each engine is pulling roughly the same amount, saving wear and tear on the rubber coupler. Another possibility might be to make an intake manifold and use a VW bug carburetor. Nothing like taking something simple and making it more complex, right??

I wish I could describe what it is exactly that makes me grin every time I see or hear that... Its just goes "YEAH" in my head🤓😎
I agree. Gave me a whole new appreciation of a combustion engine.
Mustie needs to rent a slo-mo camera or something. It'd be great!😁

The only other one I can think of is Machinery Restorer, mainly Briggs engines.
Once again, Mustie takes the cheese.
Mostly proably because of how toxic YT are. Do one thing wrong and they get a hate storm, especially if they reuse some parts.
@@Iceeeenright, but what difference does it make when he's just cobbling together stuff that would have gone to the dump. Musie's awesome!
James Condon is another good one to watch.
Does Anyone else have a Sunday mustie ritual😂. I could watch for hours on end. Can’t wait for next Sunday 🤝
A fresh cup of Coffee and a new Mustie1 video on a Sunday morning! Hell yeah!!
+ Snacks from the oven
Same here!
Absolutely
Start my Sunday that way every week !
Same here. Bacon and eggs too.

The giggle of success- priceless 😂
Great close-ups of the exhaust ports!

The anals of history? :-)
At first I thought he would put it on that skid steer with the worn out Kubota engine, because if I remember correctly the original engine of that machine was also 40HP
Maybe building a drag racer to take on Cars and Cameras drag rail. Either way what ever it is i am here to watch it
It would make an awesome go kart but with only one forward and one revers gear that might be so great.
What ever it is will be interesting.
Put a second allen grub screw in each hole in the coupler. The second screws act like jam nuts to stop the existing screws from loosening.
We took a small drill bit and drilled about .030 thousands down through the hole then the set screw will lock into the shaft.
A couple of years back, my mind rambled to your project. I was having problems with my ford tractor. But, I never acted on it. I'm glad to see that I'm not alone.
That is impressive 2junkers to a duel engine out of scrap and junk parts. Your most impressive project ever!
Great stuff. Thanks for letting us into your world every Sunday.Great work Mustie1.
You amaze me every single time, Darren. Can't wait to see what you do with this setup.
Last Sunday I wasn't feeling it. But as soon as I saw this I clicked. Thanks for following up on this project so fast!
You sounded like a little kid on Christmas when it fired, stayed running and didn’t grenade. Nice work as always.
That slow shot of the exhaust was awesome.

Reminds me of 70's duel engine dragsters. Wild!!! Great work.😊
Loved seeing the engines running together. Looks like it would make an awesome modified mini tractor puller.😮

The slowing down of the engine was AWESOME. THE GOVERNOR
Everry Sunday is a feast watching a new Mustie1 video.👍
Yep, Sunday morning with Mustie and a cup of coffee. Doesn't get any better than that.
This is fascinating !. The thing sounds like a WW2 Spitfire when you rev it up !. Can’t wait to see what you do with it.
That view down the exhaust port was brilliant. NEVER seen that before.
Hmm, I envision a 40HP custom dragster lawnmower engine!

Should certainly be quite the beast when hooked up to that axle and plopped onto "something", will be fun seeing what it all turns into... :P
That engine setup would look really cool in an old cub cadet with a stretched front end. I have a stretched cub cadet and now I have an idea of a motor to use. Thought about a four cylinder out of a car but now that you did this makes me want to try something like this!
And putting the cross hatch pattern in the cylinder does more than seat the rings it holds oil on the cylinder liner.
Agreed. 100% correct

Love the project, I can only imagine what it sounds like live!
I would be a little concerned about cooling however. The "front" engine dumps its hot air right towards the intake of the other engine, which might make it get a little too hot. Maybe a little baffling when it gets installed would help.

Brilliant! well done Mustie, I enjoyed that, Now, what are you going to power with it? Bob. UK
New concept for industrial engines, old motor joined engines were called siamese.
THAT is completely BAD ASS! Whatever you stick it in it's going to be a beast!
All you need now is an old King Midget car to put these two in. Nice vid!
There are these double roller chain coupler things. 1 sprocket on each engine, and chain connects them, allows for a little bit of misalignment but should be a lot stronger than the rubber.
And it's much cheaper than buying a Lovejoy coupler
might be good idea to pair both oil sensor wire.
They would have to be in series, so if either opened (due to low oil), then both engines would stop. A good idea though.
I'd call that a great success! I was amazed at how vibration free they run. Great job.
Consider making a common throttle linkage between the two engines which would be adjustable. You could sync the carburetors so each engine is pulling roughly the same amount, saving wear and tear on the rubber coupler.
