Re: What did you do today not on your truck...

Was over a friend's house last year and he had a wood chipper rotting away in his yard, so I decided to see if I could get it to work.
It had compression and spark but the carburetor was a piece of rusted out junk so I convinced him to buy a new carb.
Got it running and he basically dumped the cluch (engaged the belt) and smoke came out and the belt burned up.
Turned out the kids had dumped rocks in the chute and now he needed a belt replacement.
That was last year and he got a new belt so I watched a YouTube video and the guy spoke so slowly and was so boring I dang near fell asleep. Decided to try to fix it yesterday without instructions and after removing 4 bolts the motor fell off...oops.
Anyway that turned out OK because the motor had a pulley wheel and I managed to get the belt around it and reinstall the motor and now the chipper works great!
