      Remove the muffler from your lawnmower and replace it with a piece of straight pipe, that should piss them off pretty well. Also adding two stroke and burning it in a four stroke engine will make it smoke.

    This is one of my favorite series! I have a suggesition. How about to see if an engine can run on embalming fluid? From wikipedia: Typical embalming fluid contains a mixture of formaldehyde, glutaraldehyde, methanol, humectants and wetting agents, and other solvents that can be used. The formaldehyde content generally ranges from 5-35%, and the methanol content may range from 9-56%.

      2stroke2smoke 2 strokes run better than 4 strokes because 2 stroke has a higher compression ratio usually.You can make the 2 stroke to run on diesel easy.You just have to increase compression ratio ( not the psi) close to the compression of a diesel.It will get verry hot fast thogh but the power its crazy ,like a diesel torque and a 2 stroke Rpm .Ive done that by shortening the cylinder a few mm(calculated verry well) to increase the compression ratio .

      Would be interesting. Around here, isopropyl rubbing alcohol is sold in 50%, 70%, 91% and 99%. Though I'm not sure 99% is all that useful for "rubbing". What do people rub with rubbing alcohol, anyhow? I always used it as a solvent/cleaner. I also came across some *ethanol* rubbing alcohol at the .99¢ Only Store once. Did double take on that one. Turns out it was denatured to make it undrinkable. No cut rate Everclear here! :(

The stuff you buy in the store like STP is highly diluted with kerosene, naphtha, or some other oil based carrier.
      If that bottle was pure additive it would probably do about 5000 gallons.

      No, it is no possible to do that be he will sure make a video. He will do anything for viewing hits. Back to your question, gasoline is the fastest component to lock a motor up tight when it gets into the oil crankcase. Happens all the time on mtd riders when carb float fails, allowing gravity to flow fuel into crankcase. An oversight on design. It will crank, and run a bit but smoke so bad you cant see, then lock up. Doesnt usually harm engine, simple drain and refill with oil and back to normal and of course fix the float issue immediately

      Thats not at all how it works lol. You should see what has gone on for the last 200 years lol. They used to burn literally tons of coal in steam engines for about 100 years straight.

    Your videos are fascinating. Really enjoy the clear engine. Never thought WD40 would actually combust.

    You can use it for starting fluid. Also it looks like it cleaned the cylinder fairly well.

    The best part of that. No skeeters was around with the lawnmower running on WD-40. You could almost see them little boogers packing up and moving. 😂👍

    I have a Honda izy, its 13 years old, no service and always ran it on a waste oil/gear oil gas mix never any problems and always starts

    Please help some of us Motörhead’s out here... I always thought that a less than desirable “engine compression test” meant that the specific cylinder meant it was bad due to ring or valve failure. However, the way that you test your engine compression tests leads me to believe that no metal has been worn down and no blow-by is occurring. So for instance you run a motor on gasoline and it registers 103 on the compression. After running the motor on WD-40 for instance, it runs at 98. Would you please give us a very quick tutorial on how certain fuels create certain compression tests and what each psi rating means to each test? Thank you sir and keep up the great work/videos

    I once drove an RV a few miles home when the fuel pump failed by spraying WD-40 into the carburetor. It was a van front end so with the engine cover off, I was able to spray WD right from the driver seat. I had the straw on it to make sure it got into the carb, didn't want to set myself on fire. Would do about 30MPH on WD and was cheaper than a tow.

    Can you test “engine restore” on your old Italian diesel generator that you described as “tired”??

    The slow motion and music was cool. I bet the neighbors liked the smoke.😆 I buy the gallon jugs of WD-40 and put it in a spray bottle, it’s a lot cheaper.

    Brake clean works as starting fluid quite nicely in small amounts.

    I once mowed my yard by emptying a can of brake cleaner into the gas tank and pouring in a some 2 cycle oil cause why not. I needed to mow before a storm and lived pretty far from the gas station. It worked pretty well. The mower was fine when I switched back to gas.

    Don’t know why I enjoy watching a lawnmower run, especially when I avoid mine at all costs!
    Have previously done a propane conversion with great results. Wonder if you could run an engine on hydrogen gas?
    Also an old Great Depression era friend used to tell me you could add up to 10% or so mist of water to the gasoline spray in the carburetor and get a cleaner, higher compression engine.
