miss upon problem and our operator
problem let's find out what's going on
here Tom I can't get this frickin pump
started now we'll get it started let's
square with this pump site first copy
that okay so as you can see we've got
the pump side squared away the pump side
is level pumps and I vibrating trying to
slide into the creek we got our hazmat
issue resolved with the containment berm
and the absorbent pad fuel can located
properly away from the exhaust foot
valves on a shovel keep dirt out of the
pump head pump set up according to the
instructions in the kit everything looks
good to go let's get this thing running
all right well before we start it up
something I find useful is I like to
start at the foot valve work my way
towards the pull cord and just
double-check everything make sure we're
good to go
okay so our foot valve is submerged on a
clean surface looking good next we want
to check the draft toast coupling on the
suction side of the pump pad make sure
we're not gonna suck in the air and lose
our prime that's good and tight and I
will check the priming cap same deal
there lose your prime that's nice and
tight now we're just gonna prime the
pump head make sure it's good to go
it's got already got water too when we
go to start this thing so you want to
stroke this thing to water comes
squirting out of the handle area that
should be good to go
as quick as possible you want to
uncouple this a couple the your hose lay
now this is pressure feeding you don't
really have to doesn't have to be
gorilla tight and tight it'll work so
now I'm just going to verify that the
fuel line the fuel in the block is good
okay odds are the last thing this pump
did was got turned off so I'm gonna make
sure the ignition switch is up on and
make sure the reset rod is in and now
I'm gonna prime the carburetor so I'm
gonna squeeze this primer bulb until I
see the fuel in this hose just reach the
bottom of the carburetor and I'm good so
now that's primed we know we got fuel to
that fuel vent open yes it is okay cool
is that
fuel can lid tight yeah that's tight
okay Thomas pretty cool we should
probably check this thing okay what's
the choke do ah joke just creases the
amount of fuel entering the engine to
get enough liquid fuel to create enough
vapor for ignition and you normally do
that when it's cold or hasn't been run
in a long time yeah cold starts only
pretty much and what's next put it in
the warm-up start position yeah now you
just want to get a firm grasp on that
thing and pull that cord okay now that
wanted to go that did we could open the
choke at that point but we can open it
now okay and talk in another couple
times it should fire right up okay so
I'm disengaging the choke yep we've
heard the pop yep
it's on we just lost the water show
what's going on I don't know dude it
just revved up super-high bout blue my
ears out and here we are now okay so we
had an over speeding situation right huh
well I know that the reset rod is
designed to pop out when that occurs
okay thus killing the engine so let's
see if that reset rods popped out so why
did that thing pop out
well the pump it was over speeding it's
designed to push water under a load when
there's no load on the engine it spins
too fast
the air veins the cooling fins pop the
reset rod out so what are you saying
I think we lost the prime somehow okay
so we need to check and see if
everything's tight you bet so see our
foot valve still in the water that's
still tight oh I think our priming cap
rattled loose while you were napping
we're gonna just verify we still have
our water in the pump head here
that's not dribbling out like it should
so we're gonna go ahead and re prime the
pump head off I wear ear plugs so I get
all busy and stuff well it's PPE kit
comes with like 12 pairs let's go ahead
and put some in all right copy okay Tom
I think we got that problem solved let's
go ahead and try to start it again all
right sounds good
what the hell dude dude you got that
thing on choke yeah no I did it was just
running it's warm already we don't need
to choke it now so but I think we
flooded at this point so we need to
correct it okay so we need to there's
some sort of D flooding procedure we
need to go through yeah why don't you go
ahead and disconnect the fuel line I'll
take the spark plug out as long as I've
got the spark plug out we might as well
check for spark make sure that's not a
problem I've reconnected it to the boot
and the plug body is grounded in the
pump head Tom you want to pull that
starter cord a couple times and I'll
observe the gap here for the spark next
we need to take the cylinder drain plug
out it's located on the bottom of the
crankcase well there it is that bad boy
okay it's kind of hard to get on -
that's a copper gasket tom it seals the
bottom of the crankcase you need to make
sure you don't lose it
when you're taking it out and you need
to make sure it goes back in okay now
that I got this out what's next well
fuel line's disconnected we've removed
the fuel from the situation now we're
just gonna air out the cylinder we need
to put the choke and throttle in full
run run position okay so the chokes
gonna be back your all's gonna be all
the way open Roger okay and I'll just
pull on it all that extra fuel will come
out of the bottom you bet we're just
we're just drying out the inside of it
how many times do I pull on this wing
all right well 15
okay should be unloaded let's put the
spark plug back in and a cylinder drain
plug back in alright that's tight dude
next let's hook that fuel line back up
well she's hooked up captain okay Tom
let's leave it in the run run position
with the throttle and choke okay and
let's give it a couple pull see what it
does
copy that okay so now we've tried that
we know it's not flooded anymore
now we know we don't have enough fuel
okay so let's go ahead and move the
throttle level to start warm up yep
and go ahead and give it a choke okay
and give it a couple pulls okay right
there now we know we know we're good
choke off give it another Pole
oh just don't after its cooled down like
okay so there's no more wine in it you
can either
fools
there you have it sweet
so remember mark three pumps are highly
reliable if you understand how to use
them like on yet do you see
