Starting lesson on a Maytag 82
Well I have been putting together some videos of my engines this summer and today I thought I would start up my 26 82. I finished it last winter and never started it up. I haven't started an 82 before but figured it would be about like a 72 without a starter. Well a wile back I saw on youtube, a man start his 82 with a cordless drill and I thought, that's perfect!!
 I had everything ready to start it when I finished it except for the gas. So this morning I gassed her up and grabbed my trusty 18 volt Dewalt drill with a 15/16" socket and turned it over. It busted a couple at first so I rared hard on the drill spinning and spinning, watching gas spit out of the exhaust, so I adjusted the air and the fuel, NOTHIN.  I pulled the plug and cleaned it, then dried the cylinder. Then again I put the trusty drill back on the flywheel nut and like before it busted a couple at first so I rared on the drill spinning and spinning, watching gas spit out of the exhaust again so I adjust the air and fuel again. On the 4th try as I was pulling the drill off the nut and it was decelerating to a considerably slower speed. It took right off and ran. Right then I remembered I was messing with a hit-n-miss and kept spinning it fast enough to keep the points from contacting.  Wile it was running I adjusted it and finally got the video. I was surprised that it starts with just a twist of the flywheel. Here is the video.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pjYDeUPDcDM .

Re: Starting lesson on a Maytag 82
Dennis, that was funny. I would never have thought of it being a hit & miss causing the problem. It has been many years since I started my 82. I always had a little problem with the check ball in the carb sticking. I wonder how they started them on the washing machine? Great running engine Dennis and looks super too. Thanks.
