A Fuelish Endeavour - Taking a Centenarian to the Pub

- Опубликовано: 24 дек 2023
- We're well used to not everything going to plan, so when we turned up to our friend James Cameron's place to film the 100 Year Old Dodge video it came as little surprise to find the car reluctant take us to the pub for our promised lunch.
Cue hours of disassembly, fettling and top quality MacGyver work to try and get the old girl running. It wasn't our plan to have to do this but it seemed too good an opportunity to Ben not to film it.
Hope you enjoy the stripped down, behind the scenes footage and we wish you all a very merry Christmas and a happy new year!

Merry Christmas everyone! And a Happy new year to you all. We'll be back early in the new year with the final few episodes of Project Binky but in the meantime, we hope you enjoy this unexpected video where we try to coax a recalcitrant 100 year old Dodge to life so we can all go to the pub! Cheers!
How is " putting axels under trucks " going ?
Nick is sure a handy bloke. But you all managed without him. 🎄👍🎄
I hope your definition of 'early in the new year' is close to what is in my head.
On the topic of Christmas...I walked down my steps to do our Family Christmas wearing the Binky t-shirt that I bought (unbeknownst to anyone else) back in early December and got silly reactions from my family.
I found-out why a couple of hours later when I opened a gift from my daughter. It was the same shirt. LOL
I now have 2 Binky shirts and it's glorious.
Happy Christmas from across the pond. You've brought a lot of joy to many. :)
I am not sure I ever want to see Binky to end… but if you can still stand the sight of each other, you may find some other build to keep us busy :)
so we should see the final Binky episode in what the next 12 or 15 years j/k. What's next a bus you 2 bought or some other hairbrained scheme.
Can we all take a moment to appreciate that starter motor and its cable. 100% hero.
I mean, the starter motor is almost half the size of the actual engine.
Imagine having to do this job with only a hand crank...
@@reijerlincoln I would need a bracket to hold my cup of tea and a straw - there is no way I could pickup a pint of tea after hand cranking the engine that much! #PopEyeArms
hand cranking actually is not bad, the primer cups on the cylinder head allows you to put fuel directly into each cylinder, as long as the vacuum tank is in working order, you pre fill the vac tank and it will fire right up @@reijerlincoln
not that the starter wasn't working hard for a 100 YO part, but this old engines had so little compression that you almost can't tell if it has the spark plugs on it or not kkkk
Just goes to show all obstacles can be overcome with the right motivation and getting to the pub is the most powerful motivator known to mankind.
englishman not mankind 😂 on the other side of the channel it would be the bakery…
What an absolutely brilliant day! MacGyvering an old car back to life and a run to the pub to celebrate. Heaven.
Really love seeing stuff like this where you show the trials and tribulations of making an old car run, not just a sanitized version edited down for short attention spans.
What a wonderful gift -- an hour-long video from BOM. Thank you, gents!
Hope you enjoyed it!
This absolutely reminds me of the contrived adventures that top gear was famous for, but of course there is less flash and more substance. 100% a fan. Thank you and happy holidays to you & your families.
When you have a vacuum fuel pump, it is advisable to fill the vacuum tank prior to cranking the engine. The fuel gravity flows to the carb. It takes vacuum from the engine to draw fuel from the gas tank to the vacuum tank. A vacuum tank full of fuel will start the engine and run it long enough for the fuel pump to do its job.

My fifty year old Delco pump has a manual priming lever. Very useful it is too.
Unless it has a stuck flap valve.
This is the raw reality of life with a vintage classic, all this, just to go to the pub. Awesome. This is living!
This is why they came with such a comprehensive manual. Not because people WANTED to fix their own cars, it's because you HAD to fix your own car. Constantly.
Yeah, pretty much true, but, every journey is an adventure, even the pub. Good times! ;o)@@1one3_Racing
Jim needs a lathe. Everyone needs a lathe. You can't tinker about and not have a lathe. Impossible!!!
True dat.
The lathe is the key ever more ridiculous projects . . . . :D
My grandfather had a bunch of pre war cars he restored, this episode reminds me of summers flying out to Michigan to hold a flashlight and solder to leaf spring straps, and blowing through the first intersection because the brakes are not adjusted. You know how to make a bloke feel like a real bracket
Awesome video chaps!! I suddenly realised I am old as I watched you learn about how a vacuum tank delivers fuel on these older American cars. Here I was screaming at the screen trying to tell you what to do, but you learnt it all by yourselves..... I grew up with these things and we used to "whip them off" and deal to them on the bench on a regular basis. Keep up the eclectic good work. 😄
what I love about this is that it's 100 years old, but will still work in another 100 years without any question.
still *won't* work
Love the painted ends of the fan blades!
Used that 3in1 oil in my first electric train engine.
It was used to create the illusion of steam from the funnel ;)
Good Stuff and the smell is forever impregnated into my mind and the roasting turkey in the oven can not over power it either.
Merry Christmas All.
Bloody hell blokes! Shorts and T-shirts? You guys must've edited this at lightning speed to get it to us on Crimbo! 🤣❤
This really makes me appreciative of my 32 year old Land Rover's ability to start on a quarter turn of the crank when the battery's nearly dead.
I can imagine this exact scene playing out in-period. Two blokes tinkering and bodging. Lovely stuff
This is a window into the past. I love it, thank you for sharing it!
55 minutes of two guys faffing around with a 100 year old car, felt like 5 minutes, I'm home from work with the flu, this made my day
Thanks for watching and get well soon.
I love these old cars. We have a few oldies that we see regularly at our workshop. A 1926 Morris Cowley, an Austin A7, and a 1928 Studebaker President with a straight 8 that we've rebuilt as well. It's amazing to see just how they used to be built, everything has a purpose, and there was only practicality in mind with the designs. The Morris doesn't even use a water pump, but instead relies on the natural convection of the water to circulate the water.
This looks like a very well restored car. They can never sit around for as long as that was without having to spend a little time on them to get them mobile again. Good work on figuring out the fuel system, and I wish all cars came with owners manuals like this, and the Morris that we work on, which listed de coking, and re-lapping the valves as owner/driver maintenance, where as pointed out, today's manuals warn against drinking the battery acid.
Best Christmas present ever. Never thought I'd be watching a new BOM video while I sip some Lag16 next to the fire. Thanks for all the memories this year lads!
Haven't watched this yet- but simply delighted to hear from the two of you. Happy New Year!
That was great, thanks fellas.
Brilliant!!
Fixing the choke with some washers and bodgy rubber grommet? Needed Nick to fabricate an entirely new bracket :D
But didn't they just use a shorter screw?
Another great video, thanks lads! With regards to the water pump packing, rope packings require a small amount of leakage to function correctly. Overtightening to fully stop the leaking causes the rope to have no lubricant and thus burn out and then you'll have a proper leak on your hands. With no way of stopping it other then repacking with new rope.
It's a great old school way to have an alright seal which can be repaired with literally a piece of string and anyone with a spanner on the side of the road. This is still in use on ships to this day for pump shaft seals but also propellor shafts on smaller vessels.
What a joy. Thanks so much fellas, thanks for keeping a bit of the dodge brothers running. Cheers from the brightside of the pond.
Another brilliant BOM video. I somehow missed the other shorter video so i got to watch both back to back, what a treat! Thanks for everything Richard, Nik and team, looking forward to the rest of Binky and more Escargot next year.
I can't figure out why I watched this whole thing - and liked it.
I have to say, I'm growing to love the variety of content coming from BOM. I love Binky content as much as the next guy and I'm looking forward to seeing it completed, but these videos are really growing on me as well. Merry Christmas, gents!!
Completed? It's a project car ffs. Completed. Heresy!
If you really love someone, you will tell them about BOM. They will then watch all of their content, and later ask you when the next video is. You can then share a bond consisting of the pain and disappointment that is following Project Binky. Hope this helps.
This was absolutely delightful!
When Jim asked Richard if he fancied a pint, he had to earn it!
fecking brilliant!
That was a great video! Thanks for posting it up. What a beautiful car
This is great! Man I've missed your antics.
This is gorgeous, divine. I almost cried.
Ahhh the intricacies of owning and driving an antique classic car; as the old saying goes, “It’s more about the journey than the destination”
The plunger! Phenomenal!
Epic episode!
Beautiful old car ❤ love it
Loved this so much! Would watch these guys tinker with anything
Brilliant work and very entertaining to boot.
Excellent work. Glad you made it to the pub 🙂
Ahh, i read the title and thought it was about Binky’s first drive. Glad we Dodged that one.
This video is the best Christmas present I've had this year 🤗
You wanna get out more lol
@@mjjr1000 I've been told that before 😂🤣
Wonderful Wonderful Wonderful and wonderful.
Oh wow, nearly given up hope of a video, happy days😎😎🎄🎄
Great adventure, it’s part of the fun with old things! Fixing them
Awesome video, Merry Christmas to you and all watching🎅
Great show!
You gotta love the amount of "bleeps" going up when time progresses while the little car still refuses to cooperate. 😂 Enjoyed this video very much, and thank you for sharing your struggles and pleasures. 👍🏻A Merry Christmas to everyone and all the best in health and life in the coming new year. 🙏🏻
Thoroughly enjoyed this one! !
Excellent video!
Brilliant day out
There are many things that inspire man to achieve great things. Getting to the pub before last call is the among the greatest. Fantastic video. Cheers mates!
Amazing to see the amount of engineering that has gone into every detail of this car. Impressive for the 1920s
Thouroughly enjoyable video, can’t get enough form Bad Obsession
Great video.
Running boards, the one thing that cars should still have. It's like having a work bench on each side of the car.
Happy whatever day. 🎉🥳🥂
Love running boards. Managed to get from the front seat to the back seat down the side while the car was being driven. Only because I could...
Watching you faff about, was alot more entertaining than watching you chuff about and scoff dinner.
Thanks fellas.🖖
No wonder it takes so bloody long to finish Binky, if they always take all day just to start a bloody car!
Best wishes to the BOM crew for the new year
such a neat and grand old car great work fixing it
That's a well deserved pint gents. Seasons greetings!
That looks like a bloody brilliant way to spend a day. A fsntastic man cave, a beautiful garden and a cracking old car to play with. Ordering 4 pints of bitter and a pint of deionised water must become second nature
I fell asleep last night watching this while you were faffing about the engine trying to start it. I wasn't bored by any means, I just finished moving and was tired.
Any view counts, even if you're asleep!
@@BadObsessionMotorsport I just finished watching the whole episode. It was enjoyable and educational at the same time. I love pre 1930 automotive engineering and that fuel pump is new to me.
@@Mikkelltheimmortal It was new to me too. Thank god for the awesome manual.
I love this shit !! 😊 Perfect Christmas viewing...Bring on Binky !! Happy Christmas BOM.
That was a great movie Richard. Hope to see more like it.
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year To B.O., families & crew!
really illustrates how soft we have it these days!
Happy Christmas, lads!
Yea, BOM xmax video drop. Fabulous guys, love it.
A lot of MCM vibes with this, especially the inuendo and humour getting the fuel through.
Thankfully I have only experienced "failed to get all the way back from the pub" issue in my old Alvis.. Still a grand day out. Good motoring in 2024.
Thank you so much for this one. I wil turn in tonight with a big grin on my face.
Well done lads!
I've got this on in my garage while I'm replacing the CV boots on my Subaru Sambar. Cheers from Seattle :)
British Roadkill.......super car, fun to watch working on a beautiful relic..
BOM Always ROCKS!!!
Thanks
I can smell the gasoline from here, and I love it!
Here in USA, we generally add an electric fuel pump and a gallon gas can under the hood... this shortens our 'will it run' efforts quite a bit. Thanks for persevering, quite funny... disappointed I didn't see someone spitting fuel, but then you can't have everything.
Merry Christmas from across the pond!😊
Great video, FYI like my friends 1932 MG, if you set the tracking dead straight like a modern car they will wander all over the place and are a pain to drive, you need a lot of toe-in, that will stop the lash in the steering components and help them stay straight. Happy christmas :)
10:50 that's so funny, soon as I saw that cable flopping about I imagined Nick would build an elaborate bracket to to fix it 😂
That looked like so much fun
Victory at last. Cheers for the entertainment.
This makes me want to drag my Papa's Riley tourer out of the garden and see how much of it is left!
I need more brackets in my RUclips feed. Please make more videos 🙌
Well you can’t beat a good hard crank… Happy New Year Bad Obsession… and then we get to the plunger😊
Mityvac, mityvac my kingdom for a mityvac. Great stuff. Merry Christmas folks! (And Jim obvs!)
Just glanced at the title and thought it said taking a Centurian to the pub, now that would have been fun!!
It’s a Christmas Miracle 🎄👍🎄
Great!
Imagine leaving your car into the mechanics only to come back and see them using a plunger on it :) MacGyver would be proud. Looking forward to new content in 2024.
Absolutely fantastic tinkerage film. Congratulations.
You’ve proven your ability to take a long time to do something really simple (like going to the pub)! 😂
Ahem!... ... ahem! ⏳🕰 🕸
With packing seals on a pump there should always be a slight drip to keep the packing cool and lubricated, otherwise it will burn up. It should not pour out though. If it does the packing gland needs tightened or the packing needs replaced.
I'm glad Richard got to keep his fingers.
For a moment I thought binky might be finished before this thing was going to start! Well done on the perseverance.
Need to move the fuel shutoff valve to *before* the fuel pump, and let the engine run the bowl and pump dry before storing it. That way, the worst that can happen is that one, relatively-easily cleaned line and the main tank gets gummed up.
Just what's needed on Boxing Day, watching some tinkering on century old Cars. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to the Shed to make a bracket. For what, I have no idea. Merry Xmas to All ❤❤🎉🎉
