Not only are you the best at this, you never hesitate to share knowledge. That is a sign of a confident, generous man. And it goes without saying that yours is, by FAR, the most entertaining of all the repair channels.👍👍👍
When I was 9-10 years old I came across an old Briggs engine nearly identical to this one. Grandpa said it hadn't ran since the 1950s when they got electricity on the farm, and I could just have it. I bolted it to a board just like you did, and after a month (in the summer of 1975) of dinking around with it, I got it to run. One day Grandpa and Grandma came to visit, and I showed Grandpa I got his old engine to run. He couldn't believe it! Also mentioning old Kohlers, I have a K160 I have been messing with. Thanks for the memories!
Love the old stuff. Every year at the fair (no fair this year😒) they have a bunch of hit-miss engines putting away. I would love to see Taryl get one of those.
I was gonna say the same thing. there's clubs that restore these pieces of history all over the nation. check it out. they would love to have you and your dinner.....d.e.
As you know these are the simplest carburetors ever they're called mixing valves same on the model y they don't even need a float pure Venturi suction from the tank.
I'm an old man and worked on small engines as a sideline when younger and still do some work on them now and then. I can relate to many of the older ones you work on and I especially liked this one. You have a definite talent and in my opinion after watching many of the channels on the subject, you are the best my friend. You have a great channel and deliver the best damn entertainment I've seen on here. Thanks for the hard work you put into your videos...it shows in your results. I'd like to know about where in northern Indiana you're located. I'm in the middle of the state about 5 miles from the Ohio line, 70 miles east of Indianapolis on U.S. 40.
It's amazing that the flywheel from a motor that is 50 years newer works. I hope that Briggs parts and support continue to be available through this BK. Love the sound of a cast iron B&S, and their low idle speed.
Man, I had one of those! When the engine went out we'd push it up the hill and take turns riding it back down. I'd love to still have it and put a harbor freight motor on it.
I have a B&S snowblower engine made in 1967. I also have a 1987 snowblower engine. The starter from the 87 also fit and worked perfectly on the 67 engine.
You can just about bet that they will remove everything useful from the internet, for no logical reason. Seen this a lot as electronics and computer companies were absorbed in the 80s and 90s.

@@tonyfremont They do not want the old stuff repaired they want it binned and new ones purchased.
We had one of these engines back in the 1950s' It had been on my grandmother's washing machine. It has a long flexible metal hose that ran to the exhaust. This was used to take the exhaust outside. Wish I still had the engine. I am in my early 70s and it would have been fun to show it to my grandkids.
Lol Dont have to get old to not see. I been legally blind since birth. My good eye has 20/200 rating. Dad ta8ght me when i was young about these engines. Love watching ur videos. Never knowv what ull work on next. Keep up the great imformative videos. Id love to see a kickstart model on a gokart or minibike.
Hello terry Stover, I got back into fixing generators last winter, sort of by accident, I have 2 generators I maintain and they are always ready, 'cept last year when I moved up to N.E. apparently gas valve got moved to the ON pos. 1st time since 2014 I could not get'er going when I needed to. I hadn't pulled a carb apart since the 70's! yet watching the flying dinosaur which is what a TARylDactal is I had No problem at all and got her running again. Yeah Taryl is a well talented gent at what he does and the way he is kind to help us out there to get/and or keep our engines running and giving some great entertainment.
I really enjoyed this one! I suppose I'm an "old soul" and love seeing old things run again. Please do a follow up video of you fixing the kick starter! :) Best of wishes to all.
Runs like a champ now. When I was a kid, I took apart a 3 horse cast iron briggs off of an old water pump my dad had from the 1950's. Well like lots of things we do as kids, it never got put back together again. I wish I had it today. I wanted to see some cement shoes and Podunk lake, lol.
You got that engine runnin so sweet, just open the lid of the washer and the laundry gets flung out onto the clothesline! I appreciate your workmanship Taryl, and all the work by the crew for these videos!
Back in the day, we were taught how and where to run these washers. Same in the dry cleaning biz when petroleum was used as the cleaning fluid. Those that didn't pay attention weren't long for this world. Similar with fireworks. The shame in all of this is we no longer teach our kids much of anything. Guys driving around unable to change a tire.
..yeah..can't even drive..they can't shift gears or use a clutch, have to have an "AUGER-MAJIC", can't even do basic driving because they have been conditioned to depend on all the "Technology" to drive for them.... :(
I have an old Whirlpool; wringer washer in the barn that came with a WM engine. Mom and dad's house burned in 1938 so it was just after that when they got it. We got electricity out here in 1947 and dad put an electric motor on it. I still remember mom washing with it on the back porch of the old house in the early sixties and heating water in the wash pot. That was a good dinner by the way.
Great granny had a gas powered washing Machine, she put great value on that machine, she would not let anyone get close to it. It amazed me when she used it once a week and always had a big smile. She got an electric model at some point and the old gas job turned into a big flower pot, she loved flowers.
What a great job of thinking outside of the shop (box) . Thank you Taryl and crew. You are on my bucket list of people to visit and thank for all I have learned from your channel. Will visit you and your city soon, Thanks again!
I use to make a lot of spark plug or coil wires and I bought a roll of Packard 440 copper core wire made for that purpose from J. C. Whitney & Company. Bought lot of stuff from them 40+ years ago. I miss their catalog ☹️. I lived way out in the hills of E. Tennessee & couldn't run to town every time I needed something, but the mailman ran by my farm 6 days a week.
I love the enthuziazims Taryl has for this work, I can say I have really learned things about these engines and how to do a valve job or lapping. thumbs up Taryl
Well done taryl. You are the man when it comes to making Briggs and Scranton engines work. I like the cross referencing other parts that will work too. Keep up the great work and make sure you keep stranglers out of your shop too. Feed your dinosaur also.
Taryl, your knowledge and ingenuity are truly amazing. Thank you for sharing them in these entertaining videos. This one prompted me to remember my dad (born 1922) telling about using an engine he took from his mother's old washing machine to power one of his go-karts. I don't know if that's when she "went electric" or just got a newer gasoline powered washer. Cheers.
I love watching Taryl, hes like the Briggs and Stratton surgeon. I rebuilt my 5 horsepower Briggs on my restored Robron go-kart after watching him 2 years ago. Great needed detail.
I came up on an old Briggs engine in a lien sale, it was a ww2 military engine tagged as a replacement engine for something. It had never been installed but the coil had decomposed. I’d never seen anything like it, all the coatings on it had turned to dust. Anyways we had a local surplus store that sold a lot of old stock military parts and they had one but said it was for aesthetic purposes only because they wouldn’t warranty it working, but I started asking around on collectors forums and a guy pointed me to a site that sold new replacement coils, it was just the coil pack and you had to press it on the frame yourself but it worked great. I’d tell you the name of the site but I can’t remember to save my life but I can tell you it was dedicated to restoring those old engines
Super awesome video as usual! I’m new to the channel, so I’m binge watching the entire series: love it. -I wonder if the low usage of this particular engine is a result of the era? Electric washing machines became more popular in the 40’s. Guess it’s possible they got it, then transitioned to electric shortly thereafter. -As a teenager, my dad took one of these and mounted it to a bicycle and made it into a motorbike. Thanks for an awesome video.
In Boise Idaho back in the 50s when I was a kid, our next door neighbor washed her clothes in a gas washing machine out side and I used to watch her wash them with that old ringer washing machine with a Briggs motor she would start. I thought it was cool back then and always will remember small engines as I grew up which led us to larger engines in cars and motorcycles and lawn mowers etc. Those were the days. And yes I am old.
Thanks for the info and part numbers. I got the flywheel and the coil and the old WMB fired right up and ran like a champ. I would have never thought that they would be the same enough to work . Thanks Again.
Hi, Really enjoyed the video. My Aunt who lived on their farm near Quarryville, Pa. had one of those old gas powered washing machines in her cellar. I never saw it run but it was sure nice to see you bring this one back to life. John
Taryl, you are exactly right. I remember seeing a valve grinding tool that that had a crank on it and it had two pins that engaged in the top of the valve. When cranked , the valve would oscillate back and forth.
That looks like the really old scrap briggs we put on our push cart in 1957. My cousin and I were 6 years old and build the cart, but my father put the his Briggs on the back. My father got the engine running by belt drive starting from the table saw motor.
Steve from Annapolis keep up the good work with the oldies but goodies they're the best they always will be they run forever when they run got my vote this video is a year-old wow I didn't know that
Love this channel!! Taryl, I have two Korean War Era generators. They have been sitting many years but ran when I put them away. They are 12v generators that were used for communication equipment that could be transferred to a vehicle. I was 18th Airborne commo so I've acquired a few things here and there. I'd love to see you make them run. You're welcome to both. They should not be junked. It's military history. For their age they are in good shape. I can deliver them to your shop if you are interested.
SInce Taryl knows the ins and outs along with having a commanding knowledge of the strengths & weaknesses of B&S engines for the past 60 years or so - they would be well served to have people like him hired on a consultant basis to improve the design of their modern engines...the QC function of those improvements would be left up to them. I own an American made 15 yr old B&S engine and it runs perfectly with simple maintenance. Never pulled the rope over 3 times ever to start and most of the time it fired off on the first pull.
awesome fix Taryl love your video's they have helped me many times -- BTW i love your calender girls on the back wall ---woooo woooo there's your DINNER!!!
57:05 They had those 12 or 15 foot flexible exhaust pipes that they could run out the door, many years ago we had a couple of those pipes but they have long since went to the wayside.
I had one of those Briggs, complete with kick start. I put it on my minibike, a Hiawatha Doodlebug, when I was 10. It wasn't the fastest minibike in the neighborhood, but definitely one of the coolest.
I think the valve lapping tool could have been a small nail you would put in one of the holes on top of the valve and spin the valve like a crank. In modern day you could use a small “L” shaped Allen wrench. My father used a mail in a small piece of wood. Great video. The Briggs WM sounded like motors i was used to in the good old days.
I had one of those B&S valve tools decades ago .... center pin, then 1 on each side to spin the valve .... found it in my grandfathers tools .... nice job on the valve job
we used a couple of these old brigs with the small low fuel tank/carb sucks the fuel up from it. to pump water on the farm. we would measure how much fuel we put in the tank for the amount of water pumped. start up and let it go till it would stop by itself when the fuel ran out. put an old wash tub over it to keep the weather out.
That reminds me of an engine we had in my basement when I was a kid in the late 50s and 60s with the same kick starter. My dad had a gear type water pump hooked up to it to pump out the basement when it flooded and yes the muffler had a long flexable metal pipe goin outside the house. The gas tank was thick with black gue which I know now was varnish. It never ran but, to see yours run was pretty cool. When you were talking about the valve clips I was thinking pins which you found. It even had the same carborator. Thanks for the memories.Thats a keeper!
this condition can apply for anything like a snowmobile or a 750 honda weak coils can drive you nuts even in the old days it probably drove the maytag repairman nuts great video Taryl is the man Z
My 3 horsepower Briggs and Stratton powered lawnmower (92500 engine) started running like crap at higher RPMs & adjusting the carburetor didn't make a difference. The ignition coil eventually blew on it so I used one off a 4 horsepower Briggs and Stratton lawnmower engine that I'm yet to rebuild,the 3 horsepower engine revved out a lot cleaner at higher RPMs then. I have since fitted a brand new ignition coil & it runs great. Regarding that joiner piece that you put in for the spark plug lead,you can insulate it with glue lined heatshrink tubing (Raychem) to insulate it,it will make it a neat job as well !
I have a bunch of model Zs and ZZs and those suction cup lapping tools don't like to work on valves of that era because of the holes. I went and found an old hand crank lapping tool with pins that fit in the valves.
Scary, but you commenting on those dimples in the top of the valves reminded me of running across some ancient metal hand crank tool for lapping some sort of engines valves, out in my garage. Most likely, some swap meet find.
Taryl loves fixing up these old glacier melting anachronisms. Somewhere out on one of the islands in the Pacific some poor schmuck woke up to a living room full seawater. "Wake up everybody and gather around," he says to his 15 tiny little children. "Taryl must have posted another video on youtube!!!"
The zim crank valve grinder that Briggs used had a slot cut into the shaft the rubber tips went into that you could put a flat metal plate with pins that matched the holes in the valve so you could lap the valves. That crank grinder is still available, just search zim crank style valve lapping tool

My oldest Briggs&Stratton ''CRAFTSMAN'' engine is a 1982 5hp. I hope this baby will take place in a mini bike sometime.
That reminds me of an engine we had in my basement when I was a kid in the late 50s and 60s with the same kick starter. My dad had a gear type water pump hooked up to it to pump out the basement when it flooded and yes the muffler had a long flexable metal pipe goin outside the house. The gas tank was thick with black gue which I know now was varnish. It never ran but, to see yours run was pretty cool. When you were talking about the valve clips I was thinking pins which you found. It even had the same carborator. Thanks for the memories.Thats a keeper!
Amish people love these engines. I go to an auction every month in Ohio and these bring big money with them.
nice job sweet running b=s,cool coil swap thanks for info,
this condition can apply for anything like a snowmobile or a 750 honda weak coils can drive you nuts even in the old days it probably drove the maytag repairman nuts great video Taryl is the man Z
Great video taryl
Love the sound effects...
Great video taryl! Cool engine. Didnt know they used them on washers!
I suggest putting that Briggs engine on Slipper's wheelchair so he can be first in line at the Old Country Buffet!
LOL Nice one!
it's amazing how things have stayed pretty much relatively the same despite the age of these engines and newer engines
I hope we can still get parts for old engines.
My 3 horsepower Briggs and Stratton powered lawnmower (92500 engine) started running like crap at higher RPMs & adjusting the carburetor didn't make a difference.
The ignition coil eventually blew on it so I used one off a 4 horsepower Briggs and Stratton lawnmower engine that I'm yet to rebuild,the 3 horsepower engine revved out a lot cleaner at higher RPMs then.
I have since fitted a brand new ignition coil & it runs great.
Regarding that joiner piece that you put in for the spark plug lead,you can insulate it with glue lined heatshrink tubing (Raychem) to insulate it,it will make it a neat job as well !
Are you going to continue this series of going thru the other 3 engines?
I love the old stuff..
I have a bunch of model Zs and ZZs and those suction cup lapping tools don't like to work on valves of that era because of the holes. I went and found an old hand crank lapping tool with pins that fit in the valves.
I learned something new today they put these on washing machines thats awesome I was born at the wrong era wish I was born back than
Scary, but you commenting on those dimples in the top of the valves reminded me of running across some ancient metal hand crank tool for lapping some sort of engines valves, out in my garage. Most likely, some swap meet find.
Taryl loves fixing up these old glacier melting anachronisms. Somewhere out on one of the islands in the Pacific some poor schmuck woke up to a living room full seawater. "Wake up everybody and gather around," he says to his 15 tiny little children. "Taryl must have posted another video on youtube!!!"
I have 3 of those beauties! None are WM. Mine are the very rare 3 legged Daddy Taryl designation!
The zim crank valve grinder that Briggs used had a slot cut into the shaft the rubber tips went into that you could put a flat metal plate with pins that matched the holes in the valve so you could lap the valves. That crank grinder is still available, just search zim crank style valve lapping tool
You are the best that I know
Great video
I like when he says you can throttle up the engine lol extra fast spin wash 🧼 lol 😂
I loved this video!
