love to see old briggs restore so it runs, these new 99 dollar engines today are making old motors less in value. and people are trashing them, what a shame.
That sir is a beautiful piece of history, in remarkable condition :) You gave it a little love and now it's got another life, very cool 2 thumbs up here !
Very nice job. Definitely a nice little engine, too. I love how the designers made the cylinder's cooling-fins slope upwards like that... it sets up a path for an upwards convection-draft around the cylinder .... definitely cool! :-)
reminds me of an old clinton cast iron horizontal shaft engine i got from my uncle to mess with, it at one point threw a rod and they got all the parts to rebuild it but never did then i had most of the parts to rebuild it, they make reproduction carburetor kits and i dont want to be another one that says they could have but never did, its just too cool to drop like that. ive got alot going on and its not at the top of the list . . also i think I scratched up the piston ring a weee bit when i used the wrong tools to get it in and it has no compression but it also has no oil in it . . oh well theres no dammage to the invincible cast iron cylinder (shame they dont make em like they used to) probably should get a new ring too, repop parts are a God given gift . . anyways this video reminded me of that and made me want to rebuild it to see what it looks like running some day sooner than later
I remember these, they mostly powered Maytag Washing Machines back in the years between the wars. Out west many houses if they had electricity at all only had it a few hours per day and engine powered appliances were common. In England a Villiers half HP engine looks very similar.
Awesome job mike it runs great, I really like how it sounds its like you can hear every cycle. To bad you have to give it back to the owner thats a hard to find engine. At least you got to get her running thats the fun part,
Just a question, Is this engine just one step above a hit and miss engine? Sounds very much like one of those. I dont know much about these types of engines but i suppose its sound could be the result of the atmospheric intake but i could be wrong. thanks for sharing was very interesting to see.
Technically this is a 4 stroke engine that should run with a real 4 stroke beat. The automatic intake valve greatly simplifies the design of this engine.
Sorry this is a bit late but what would this engines run exactly you could have a hit n miss engine or a very torque engine but who would buy a small F engine like this back then what would it be used for?
The intake is know as atmospheric. Meaning that as the piston travels down on the intake stroke low pressure in the cylinder is created. That allows normal atmospheric pressure to overcome the intake valve spring and rush into the cylinder carrying fuel vapor with it. Thanks for watching!
no it wouldnt. its not a honda gx160. this is a very rare stationary engine that should be preserved its not a boy racer engine. its an enthusiast engine.
Gabriel Fromyhr not sure. displacement is usually large on old engines but they turn alot slower so the power is usually smaller compared to the weight.
It's weird, this is from thw 1920's and it's an over head valve design. In the 1950's they were building flatheads. The opposite of the Ford engine evolution. Maybe B&S knew something Ford didn't???? Maybe single cylinder motors don't compare to car engines?
It's because it uses an atmospheric intake valve. The vacuum created during the intake stroke is enough to pull the intake valve open and allow air in. So only the exhaust valve is mechanically actuated.

YOU ARE A TALENTED YOUNG MAN. I'VE NEVER SEEN ONE OF THESE ENGINES, LET ALONE ONE RUNNING. THANKS FOR THE VIDEO
That sir is a beautiful piece of history, in remarkable condition :)
You gave it a little love and now it's got another life, very cool
2 thumbs up here !
Nice looking Briggs...
Hang onto that! 95 years old and a running piece of history at that:}
Sounds like a Locomotive!! Well done Mate!!☺
Just chuggin away!
Very nice job.
Definitely a nice little engine, too. I love how the designers made the cylinder's cooling-fins slope upwards like that... it sets up a path for an upwards convection-draft around the cylinder .... definitely cool! :-)
love those old motors.. I've been looking for some.

Thats great to see your ignition works after all your effort in rebuilding it! Great job Mike
wow! what a cool little engine!
Looks like it should be running some sort of vintage machine like a milk seperator or vacuum pump.
Those angled cooling veins are dope! I wish they still did that, it's cool!
I Love the sound of that! , There is a old one out in the bush/cabin that i seen 2 years ago , maybe ill bring it home one day !
You should grab it for sure!! There are not too many of them left!!
I could listen to that running all day. Sweet.
Thanks Simon!
beautiful engine.
that's soooo awesome I wish I could find one of those maybe one day haha
Nice to see a great old engine get a new life. Great job, thumbs up!
Very nice running Briggs, I wish I could have one like that, congrats to the owner!!
Now that's the sort of air cooled engine I like, very interesting little machines.
Thanks for watching, its nice to be able to work on something a bit unique.
I remember these, they mostly powered Maytag Washing Machines back in the years between the wars. Out west many houses if they had electricity at all only had it a few hours per day and engine powered appliances were common. In England a Villiers half HP engine looks very similar.
Sounds like an industrial sewing machine! Great job getting that running. It may be quirky but its certainly got some character.
A running piece of history... Love it, thanks for sharing.
One of the engines on my bucket list.
Awesome job mike it runs great, I really like how it sounds its like you can hear every cycle. To bad you have to give it back to the owner thats a hard to find engine. At least you got to get her running thats the fun part,
thats a really neat engine you are fortunate to have had the opportunity to work on
it
That is how I feel, even if the owner doesn't decide to sell it I was happy to bring it back to life!
Its a privilege enjoy it while you can
nice engine i love the sound of it and looks great too
Nice engine- I've never seen one before today. Thanks for sharing it.
You did a Great job getting this one to run
Thanks!
I like the hit miss flywheel engines, but the old Briggs are really neat. Nice job
How I'd love to be in your shoes, I would love to have one of these! As of right now I only have a 1928 briggs FH.
i love these vintage Basco engines (Briggs & Stratton & Co)
Very cool Mike...The owner should be over the moon.
love that slow idle sound sounds like a twin cylinder the way it chugs along
Yep, its just happy to sit there and run.
It's got a pretty cool rhythm to it!
Excellent work - making it work!
That was bad ass there mike...still cant wait ta see that 4banger runnin
How does that work with one rocker? i'm assuming that's for the exhaust valve? Where is the intake valve?
coolbluelights The intake valve is next to the exhaust valve, I believe it takes fresh air by vacuum alone.
Just god dam beautiful.
Almost 100 years old, way cool!
Very nice job Mike
That was great! Runs as good as new!👍
very nice. Love the sound.
I hope I run that good at 92. Thanks for sharing!
For something made nearly 100 years ago, that really purrs! I wonder how well the crap we make today will work 100 years from now?
Just a question, Is this engine just one step above a hit and miss engine? Sounds very much like one of those. I dont know much about these types of engines but i suppose its sound could be the result of the atmospheric intake but i could be wrong. thanks for sharing was very interesting to see.
Technically this is a 4 stroke engine that should run with a real 4 stroke beat. The automatic intake valve greatly simplifies the design of this engine.
...verey nice motor my friend,look after it.
Thanks I intend to!
Mike is a true small engine guru. That engine is in good hands!
THESE HANDS SHOULD BE MINE!
@ Conrad Myers you have a nice engine......Not Motor
I was waiting for a one pull start like most of your engines.
That is just too cool!
Sorry this is a bit late but what would this engines run exactly you could have a hit n miss engine or a very torque engine but who would buy a small F engine like this back then what would it be used for?
nice job Mike
Mike, I never got a chance to look at an F up close, where does the oil go after it drips into the crankcase? BTW Nice job! Loved the rewind vids.
looks and sounds good great job
Thanks Jim!
that thing is awesome!!
Regular as a clock ticking. Good Job!
Great Job!!
Thanks Michael!
still runs like a champ
Well done Mike!!
Thanks for watching Joe!
great job
They have a unique sound! Have you powered anything with it yet?
Very interesting sound.
Don't know if you will answer but how does it cool itself was this on a cart of some sort ?
Sweet little motor!
Sounds great!
Thanks for checking it out!
where is the fuel tank!??! Great engine.
Yep mike you an your bro"ROADKING ,,,Rock 🎸
What a great engine to own ! My earliest one I own is a 1953 Briggs. Where is the gas coming from on this engine ?
Your Amazing Mike !!!
Thank You Sir!!
Beautiful!! ShopdogSam uses boiled lindseed oil to protect unpainted metal. Would that work for your project? Have you ever tried it?
Thank You. I have never used it before, I do have a few friends that have though, just have not gotten around to picking any up yet!
Nice work !!!!
Thanks!
2 questions,first is how much horsepower and second,what did they use these engines for back in 21
about 1/2 horse at 2800 RPM Dont quote me on that tho as for use reel mowers? generators waterpumps
VERY cool!
Nice Mike!!! Not as cool as the Briggs four banger though!
She purrs like a mechanical kitten.
Nice little engine! Nice work!
Where is fuel coming from, is it that glass cylinder? I kinda thought that was lubrication...
Bränsletanken är nog i basen/foten på motorn.
Niklas Bergsten Ah! Smart! :)
Very cool!
Thanks for watching!
That thing is sweet! What RPM does it run at?
If it got B&S's attention maybe you could talk them into making or finding you a nos carburetor for it.
Nice motor!
Nice very nice
Beauty. 👍
Nice job.
question-where's gas tank? is that the little glass container?
cool... love it...
Nice work :-)
100 years old
thumbs up
Thank You!
Your model F gets a A.
how does the intake work? i can only see the exhaust valve lifter
The intake is know as atmospheric. Meaning that as the piston travels down on the intake stroke low pressure in the cylinder is created. That allows normal atmospheric pressure to overcome the intake valve spring and rush into the cylinder carrying fuel vapor with it. Thanks for watching!
Nice!!!!

How are you feeding gas to this ?
Nice!!:-)
Thanks!
Is that a hit and miss ?
that'd be cool on a pushbike, how many cc's
no it wouldnt. its not a honda gx160. this is a very rare stationary engine that should be preserved its not a boy racer engine. its an enthusiast engine.
Gabriel Fromyhr not sure. displacement is usually large on old engines but they turn alot slower so the power is usually smaller compared to the weight.

why does it only have one roker arm?
It's because it uses an atmospheric intake valve. The vacuum created during the intake stroke is enough to pull the intake valve open and allow air in. So only the exhaust valve is mechanically actuated.
GREAT JOB MIKE FROM OLD ENGINE KEN
Thanks for checking it out Ken!!
where is the gas tank?
The glass container on top of the carb
that is the oil dripper. the gas tank is the base.
Soon to be 100th birthday
this engine is 2 stroke with a valve or other
ahumad13 Nope, its four stroke with an atmospheric intake!
2 strokes don't have valves in first place....
+027 - SpeedyRaceTeam - Noah Ever seen Detroit or Cleveland diesels? Some marine Kawasakis also, are mechanically scavenged, with exhaust valves.
+Jacques Blaque oh I didn't know that but I own 2 two strokes a dirtbike and weedeater lol
+Jacques Blaque also I love Detroit diesels
Sounds like a hit and miss engine.
