Love the content. Husqvarna (Redmax owner) redesigned the fan to eliminate those inserts from coming loose. Watching you rebuild one of these things was worth it's weight in gold. The majority of the oil/dirt near the bottom of the engine and volute comes from the base gasket failure points. Also, the oil on the bottom of the intake tube is normal due to the oiling system design. Keep it up !!
My son-in-law got a free leaf blower once because the fan was loose and the person who owned it thought it had a rod knocking my son -in -law put some washers on it and different bolts and it worked fine.
All that oil all over the blower made me think the nebulizer wasn't flambulating correctly. Oh, and the extra washers, as you determined. Thanks for a good one, Mustie!
I was thinking this as well but that was a ton of oil. Maybe it has been laying on its side a little while waiting for the Mustie1 fix and a bunch of premix did get dumped into the tube and the gas evaporated from the oil. I dont see how that much could get in there from blow back alone. Who knows i guess.
@@warrenmichael918 The whole engine was layered in dirty oil though, more like a long standing problem and not a single incident. But it could have been happening because they are storing in the trailer they use to get to their jobs and they've been storing it wrong habitually.
Ever since, as a child, I loved taking this and that apart to see what was in it. My earliest memory was of an expired Alarm Clock my mum give to me. It was wonderful ! I enjoy disassembly and you do to. best regards, Gio.
This one really exposes the inner-workings of Mustie's mind. I would automatically expect the worst that it was bottom end. I would never think, fan. And then, as he's working on the wrist pin, he uses a pinch-off pliers to hold the connecting rod. This is like watching Paul over a Gearbox tv. Sometimes it's not always about the repair. It's how they position the work to do the repair. True craftsman, indeed.
Educational video to say the least. MOST people would presume it was the bottom end as well and the blower would soon be on the scrap heap, even among those who would attempt a repair anyway. The repairers are 1-10% of the population. The rest exist in the "if-it-doesn't-work-throw-it-away" crowd.
@Hjerte_Verke . Not like when I was a kid. We fixed everything unless it truly was scrap and then we'd salvage everthing that could be useful. Especially hardware. My Gramps had 5 sheds with 2 of them for salvaged bicycle hardware and 1 for frames and frame parts. 1 for chains, sprockets, brakes and other frame mounted parts. The last one his shop. In Flint Michigan walking distance to the AC Spark plug factory. Every kid for a mile around would bring their bikes to him to be repaired and modified. He'd build them from parts including neat boy or girl paint jobs and sell them autographed. I wonder how many of them were passed down and still exist.
Seen the issue of the fan starting to make more and more noise before. Used a 2 part plastic filler/glue to fix the slop on that one. I do like the fiber rings as a fix tho, much easier and less mess. The oil in the intake is also something i see often, the fuel evaporates but the oil stays behind and pools at the botom. Often due to storing a machine on its side and over time the fuelmix seeps through the carb.
I am a huge Echo backpack blower fan (pun intended)😂. They are extremely serviceable and built for a lifetime of abuse. Little things, like how all the hardware uses the same driver is the kind of thing that makes maintenance and service doable. I have thousands of hours on my PB8010 and don’t ever want anything else. Best investment in equipment I’ve ever made.
From his teardown, I'm not surprised, it looks well built, the top end didn't seem too bad considering, I would maybe have changed the front seal and made an attempt at a better fix for the fan but I'm splitting hairs.
Had an older Red Max backpack blower and it was very useful. The Walbro carb gave up the ghost and was NLA, nothing could be found to make it work. Leaf season waits for no carb and I replaced the blower. Reminds me I've still got several hours of leaf work to do today. It is a yearly necessity and challenge getting them picked up prior to any snowfall.
They are so loud and im not sure they are that much more efficient than raking at least time wise. Seems every time we go to Pickwick lake all the rich folks that live on the water are running them all day long.
@@rhinovirus2225 Aside from corners, yeah. And way cheaper to run. And lighter to carry. And less maintenance. Blowing grass and dirt off paths is the only real use case I can see for these things. A rake won't work at all, and a broom might work, but freshly cut grass often sticks to concrete/pavers and takes a lot of effort to sweep off. But good luck convincing people with nice lawns that they don't need to blow the leaves off every 5 minutes. They don't seem to understand that picking 3 leaves up by hand is easier than lugging the blower around.
@tin2001 these cornholers would leaf blow their entire big ass yard if they wanted to be lazy they should get one of those vacuum mower bag rigs but noooo. Also they blew the crap into the water which I know isnt littering but it doesn't help fishing with crap steadily falling in the water
Hello sir .. trying to follow you footsteps on a ride on mower I got for cheep . Bejesus the carb bowl looks like it was run on mud :( :( thanks for the great entertainment and I look forward to every new vid 😀😄
Not even lying, when he mentions 80 screws in that bin, my anxiety went through the roof. 😅. When I do this sort of thing, all screw sets are laid out in order…(80) then work your way backwards. I’m such a noobie compared to good ole Mustie1. True pro.
The Autumn leaves are falling all around. So I bought something very similar 2months past Still sitting in the box, and the leaves are like a North Canada snow blizzard. Found that the brush keeps me busier. I was delighted to see you work the magic on this little machine. Thanks for sharing. Always been appreciated over many years. Stay safe Darren and enjoy.
Good morning from Winnipeg, Mustie 1 fans ! Another fine Sunday video ! That motorcycle looks awesome, I've never heard of an Ariel . Darrin, looking forward to the new projects, great job on that blower, I thought bottom end right away, I thought the main bering were shot with all that oil. Good detective work !
Dang but we don't know for sure if it was the jug or the fan causing the noise since both were replaced at the same time. Would've been a pain to reassemble to test one then the other though. Nice work. Ready for another landscaper!
Ariel 350. Our local police used those in Hampshire, UK. They were replaced by the Norton 750, Chalk and Cheese. In comparison, the Ariel used to pootle about, and the Norton went like a scalded cat! It's quite a shock when you and your mates are riding in a pack riding Panther, BSA, and Triumph 650s, and the Norton announces its presence by shooting through the middle of us!
I run a 2 smoke 185cc engine Paramotoring. There is always some small amount of oil that splashes back into the airbox. Was a lot worse during the breaking period while running higher ratios of oil. Has settled down now that I run at a 60:1 oil mix. Ask your mate if that unit idled a lot. That's when that problem becomes more pronounced, for me at least.
I'm amazed you can remember where everything goes back together without a manual, congrats! My first inclination was to check the fan since that's easy, vs. disassembly, especially as a rod knock wouldn't have lasted a year of use, I don't imagine. I've heard that the aftermarket cylinder/piston kits aren't nearly as good as originals/OEM, so think I'd have kept the original vs. putting the kit in. It did start right up in spite of the clacking before doing any work on it.
I could tell by the plastic-like sound, it was most probably was the blower’s fan. I’ve got one very similar to that one. I can almost guarantee that the crank seals are probably compromised and need replacing. That’s where all of that oil is coming from.
Nice blower! I've run thin cyanoacrylic glue alongside loose bushings like that in plastic, then give 'em a blast of curing agent. If your fiber washers give up the ghost, try a little superglue!
Hi D. I thought at the beginning the knock was on the lower end. Man, a few nylon washers was all it took. Awesome video. I always love seeing you work on small engines!! Great teaser clip at the end!! Hope you and your family have a great Thanksgiving!!! Darren 😊😊😊😊
A little tip those metal sleeves can be slowly and gently pressed through the plastic fan. By using wooden boards laid out flatten across the hydraulic bench press vise. To push those sleeves through the nylon plastic with. By using A punch that is the same outer diameter as the shape. Of the metal sleeve's inside of that plastic to barley press it down and the back of the nylon plastic fan with. Also that fan is suppose to have A thin plastic dial pin alignment peg. That fits down inside. Of the metal adapter plate where it bolts onto evenly and properly. With having those metal sleeves spaced out and keep it in alignment. And the right width of those fiber washer that you put behind that fan blade. The should be pressed outwards the thickness of those fiber washers and locktite thread locker on the bolts again.

Heck yeah brother
Why not start it when the fan is off. and a coffee

What a tease Darrin is! A race car in the background!
Right
Intentionally putting it in the shots too.
I came here to ask about that too
We get leaf blower however, lol
He posted about it on the Community page. It's a car that him and buddies are building for the Lemon races. Future vids to come apparently
I yell something else when i damage the wrist pin area of piston. Nice repair 👍
All that oil all over the blower made me think the nebulizer wasn't flambulating correctly. Oh, and the extra washers, as you determined. Thanks for a good one, Mustie!
Now that was really interesting! What a puzzle with all the parts laid out on the bench!
This episode blew me away!
I see what you did there...
Oil in air tube is from blow back through carb. Gas and oil mix blows back. Gas evaporates and oil left behind.
That's why I like reed valves.
I was thinking this as well but that was a ton of oil. Maybe it has been laying on its side a little while waiting for the Mustie1 fix and a bunch of premix did get dumped into the tube and the gas evaporated from the oil. I dont see how that much could get in there from blow back alone. Who knows i guess.
I see this with every blower with this air cleaner set up. I service them regularly. Always oil in there. @@warrenmichael918

I have been using Red Max blowers for over 15 years. It is common for oil to build up in the boot for the air intake of the carburetor!
And you still buy their junk...
@@I_Am_Your_Problem They are not junk. They are used by landscapers around here more than any other brand of blower!
