hay taryl can u change flywheels on a B&S motor with a different models like i got a 12hp with plastic ring gear but i got a old 11hp motor with the metal ring gear can u change them and i got a husqvarna ride on that dosent like going in reverse some time or its really slow have u a video on how to fix that
Hey Taryl . I have one just like it an I just rebuild the carburetor an put a new rotory carb kit in it an it leaks on the tank gasket ...I have had that happen on 2 different engines just like yours ....what the problem,? Or how would you fix it
You have to warn us about Muriatic Acid and it smells bad and it's poisonous? Taryl have y'all ever had one of those special girlfriends? I mean same deal dude...
Anybody like you or I that have worked on engines basically our entire lives no about a Briggs & Stratton crankshaft and rod whether or not it's going to knock or not those things are practically indestructible
I have a Honda 9 horsepower riding lawn mower with a ball bearing lower end crankshaft, it blew the oil dipstick out last summer and locked up with the Piston, but it did not and I repeat did not hurt the crankshaft it's still runs it's still idle but it smokes more now, I'm going to use it the rest of the summer if it had been a Briggs and Stratton crankshaft it probably would have ruined it
You guy's are the best small engine builders out there,i watched this whole video and it took me back 61 yrs..Those old motors would hall Ass, i put one on a go cart (age 14) and it ran 37 MPH thought i was going a Hundred.. We Love watching you and your team do your Thing.. Thanks
Have looked at a couple of this guys videos out of curiosity since I have worked on these small air-cooled engines since 1971. The information he is giving is 100% correct. It has become impractical to repair these small hp engines in the last couple decades with the availability of inexpensive engines from Harbor Freight, which are actually quite good. I have bought many myself and no returns. This tiller engine is an exception with the special crankshaft design to provide reverse . These little engines will last many decades with preventive maintenance , especially oil changes, but most people don't have the desire or inclination to do so. Briggs and Stratton were and are all excellent engines, Honda is also top notch. Giddyup Taryl.
Hi Taryl - Pete here from Limerick, Ireland. Just discovered your channel and enjoying it, love your sense of humour as well as your old-school skills - getting nothing done as I am addicted to your videos! You're a good guy. Love your attitude and skills. I am 58 myself and grew up fixing stuff - from lawnmowers and washing machines to vacuum cleaners and floor polishers and even my first crap car when I had to source a cheap engine and fit it over a weekend and spend every other Saturday afterwards fettling it due to corrosion or ongoing issues. Fond memories of a summer job in a lawnmower shop in Galway fixing small engines - had bought the special B&S tools - valve spring compressor, recoil starter wrench and flywheel holder and puller as well as the B&S service manual and got to know these motors well - even built up some good working motors from a pile of scrap! I have a Harry mower myself with a 35 year old B&S Max engine that catches within 1 or 2 pulls of the starter and mows overgrown grass with ease. Never gave up on me over 21 years of ownership. Modern stuff is crap and unfortunately, skilled guys like ourselves are crippled due to planned obsolescence and criminal overpricing/unavailability of spares. Sickens me that our governments are not targeting the greedy manufacturers but are willing to participate in 'greenwashing' - a new washing machine looks sexy and 'green' with 'recyclable' parts and 'eco' or 'low temperature' programmes but the one-piece outer drum and undersized bearings guarantees a trp to the scrap pile within 5 years. We had an old-school AEG automatic washer at home from 1972 to 1994 that worked non-stop every weekend and we were able to change bearings and other components. Yes, you have to pay a bit more but the return is worth it. I have a 17 year old Miele washer that chugs away without any issues as well as a 23 year old Miele dryer. German and expensive but good! Keep up the good work!
To get the valve springs in, ziptie the springs compressed, install the keepers, and cut the zip ties and pull them out. Works great if you dont have that tool.
Last of the real professional small engine mechanics, Here in Canada you will never find a person that knows what a carburetor does never-mind try to rebuild an engine. Love these guys they work hard and know how to have fun.
I mowed my yard this morning and thought since I'm retire it might be fun to rebuild old lawn mowers. I found your channel and for 1:30 min I laughed was intrigued and learned a lot. This is going to be a go to for me. Very entertaining.
Thanks for posting! 👍👍🙂 I’ll say this and I’m sure there’s a lot of people that will agree with me: with the price of everything nowadays sky high and people charging an arm and leg just to fix something. thank God we have RUclips! Videos like this one here have probably saved me over $10,000 altogether from fixing everything from small engines to car engines to water heaters to air conditioning units and so on.
I have two B&S horizontal shaft engines that I might want to rebuild and resell as go-cart engines. I have never rebuilt an engine, but after watching this video, I sure am itching to try! This looks like fun!
Taryl.........HILARIOUS and some VERY good tips. As a 72 year old Canadian 'fix anything' Guy, I learned some great tips from your video. Entertaining, FUNNY and informative. GREAT WORK !!!
Dude I just stumbled upon your channel while looking for a fix for my also cub cadet fuel pump and let me just just say that this is some awesome fun educational content. Thank you for all the effort it takes to create this stuff! It's pure gold!
I used to race this motor and carb in the WKA Briggs heavy class (methanol, governor removed, blueprinted block and card by Dave Fisher, Sarah's dad from the IRL, close to 7000 rpm, and I thought I knew a lot about this engine... but Taryll explains it beautifully!!!
I remember a TV show where they had the masked magician showing how all the tricks of the magic trade were done. You guys are like the masked small engine repairmen, showing all the tricks of the small engine repair trade. I can't tell you how much I enjoy watching and learning from your videos. My favorite quote came from Junior "Crazy old Taryl he went wild again" which came from the How To Rebuild Tecumseh Diaphragm Carburetors. That video walked me through fixing an old Toro S200. I did a little jig when that baby came back to life. One last thing guess who I found when I replaced the auger belt? Yup poor old freeze dried FLUFFY! Thanks to all of you guys. Merry Christmas and a Happy & Healthy New Year.
I had a friend who was a carb. expert. I believe he passed away at an early age because of the chemical fumes entering his lungs and chemical liquids entering his body through his skin. He was an amazing man who is missed. Taryl is the best of the best from what I see in this video. John was his equal when he was with us. I wish Taryl would use gloves and proper ventilation to keep his lungs and skin safe. Again, Taryl is the best of the best!
Hello Taryl,Big fan of you and watched the whole video,I am only 11 years old and i love to work on engines you have taught me so much about them and I have the same engine it doesnt run sadly and i got a new ignition coil for it and put it on and sprayed some easy start and pulled on it a few times and then it shot a big blue flame out of the exhaust so i think that the exhaust valve is not timed right and so we dont have the tools to do a valve job so i think i will just buy a new exhaust valve and hope for the best.Thank you Taryl you have taught me so much about engines and your really funny,i think your one of the only small engine mechanic on youtube that makes really entertaining videos and make us laugh.
OMG is this funny, only 5min into it. OK, that was the best small engine vid I've ever seen, going to watch again with my young boys w/pizza, soda, and popcorn. luv it!
Briggs engines with ball-bearings have the timing marks placed differently so you can see them with the bearing in place, no need to pull the bearing. Your videos are very detailed and excellent for beginners, nothing is overlooked. Nice job!
Thank you very much gentlemen for this amazing video. My grandfather gave me the WOLSELEY cultivator 5hp SUPER MAJOR with the motor you are presenting (Model 130202 Type 0788-01). You are professionals. Best regards from little Greece.
Even though I know all this I enjoy watching Taryl do it, and learn all his Tarylisms and such. No better entertainment in the world of mower repair! 👍🙋😎.
The fact that I know none of this, yet keep coming back for the entertainment... 🤣 I am getting more and more confident with small engine repair. I've fixed exactly one riding mower, so far. Taryl's videos fire me up for the next repair. 😁😛 The baby motor bath. 🤣
You are the most creative person I've ever seen on RUclips. I never thought that I could learn so much end be entertained at the same time. Your wit is a sign of pure intelligence and knowledge.
Your the best bud! You've saved me time, money and and cut the frustration factor considerably. Ive watched 20 other videos trying to find the info I needed on the 5 hp. B&S. Your the only one who answered it for me. From now on I'll go straight to Taryl for answers. Many thanks from a New Mexico hillbilly. Gotta go it's time for dinner!
This is the best worst a ting of all time. So glad i found your channel. Starting a small engine and lawn mower repair joint in our town in NC and your videos have been invaluable. You should do virtual classes or online certs or education or something of that nature. A subscription that guarantees youll see questions.
Hey Tayrl, when I first came across one of your videos here on youtube I passed on watching assuming that you were a clown that was just making goofy videos. That being said, I was in a jam and needed some advice so I decided to watch. Well I'm here 1st to apologize for ASSuming that and 2nd to say not only did you surprise me, I was also extremely impressed sir. You are one incredible mechanic and I hope one day I have half the experience and knowledge that you do. I enjoy your videos and truly appreciate everything that you do. Thank you!
Out-STANDING video! Basic engine overhaul 101. Started playing with Briggs engines in Jr. High School, and moved on to "real" engines as an adult. Now "retired" from automotive service, and on my 2nd. career as an RN, I enjoy tinkering with small engines again.
I watched this all over again, 2020 saw it back in 2018, its nice to see someone take something old and bring it back to life again..Thanks,Ya'll are funny, See Ya Texas
A caution with Muriatic Acid, folks. Acid vapors will start rusting all steel in the area so don't leave any lying out in a cup, on a rag, or spilled under the bench. Make sure all the safety seal is removed from the bottle lip and the cap is tight with its gasket or you will come back to a nasty surprise in the shop. This has been a public service announcement from someone that didn't know better.
Nice, must not use it in automotive enough or just covered in chapters my classes didn't cover or other textbooks than what I have since I wasn't aware of this. Hopefully somewhere using this has an MSDS with people that read them. I did it out of boredom some drills, found out we had sheets for Blue Hawaiian (hand soap) and we didn't even have it there my entire career.
It's a Sunday mornin here up in Mashpee Mass, um drinking my coffee and watching ur vidz. I notice that there is an oil splasher on connecting rod, so I gather that there is not a mech. governor, but a windvane. Not going to open a shop, but this will be a great hobby, knowing how to fix these and the generators that go with them. Taryl, A BIG thanks to you for doing these videos.
I used to take old push mowers and grind the Exhaust valve with a drill on a bench grinder, set the clearance and the POS B&S Vertical would have new life. I took a 71 code mower, filed the points to fix the spark, set the valves, and used the $20 mower for five years and gave it away to a neighbor. A year later it was tore up from leaving it in the rain and the starter clutch was rusted (LOL). People just throw away decent stuff today (we live in a disposable world).
I use a piece of glass from an old coffee table. Oil the glass and put a full sheet of sandpaper on it. The oil holds the sandpaper and then figure 8 sanding method to check the block and cylinder head mating surfaces for level/flatness. You know,same as they do on the space shuttle.
I use a flat piece of 3/4 steel and tape the edges down to do mine. The glass and oil method works great too and is also a cheap way to get various grits for knife sharpening, and sharpening planer blades or chisels
I’ve been a carpenter my whole life. I decided I should learn about engines after 50 years on the earth. 5 minutes into the video I’m not disappointed. Mechanics are funny!
HA! I have been looking for a no nonsense vintage inch pound torque wrench for quite awhile. The one I just bought on line is an SK made in the USA, Illinois. 0 to 200 inch pounds. Pretty sure yours is the same. I did not notice this till after my purchase watching this video tonight. At least with this one it will not need calibrated like the click type down the road. I have an 8 horse Briggs complete rebuild I am going to do in October. Your videos are just the best! Your attention to detail is tops! Sure I could buy a newer engine but to be able to keep the original Briggs on my John Deer R72 30" rider is priceless. Thank you sir!
I learned a few things from this one. I found it a lot easier to install the carburator stem first - then put on the gas tank. Reminds me of the old mini bike days using the b&s engines.
I am so glad you demonstrated how it is done in the real world instead of in the fear and terror book world. If you are not building a top fuel dragster or running a motorcycle on Daytona, you are running a 3-3.5K rpm flat head with about 30-40hp/lt, you don't need a machine shop to level the head and the cyl face or a 3 angle valve job. You don't need red-loktite on rod bolts or lock stubs, it will stay together. You don't even need an accurate torque wrench, just some sense. I do wish they had a ball bearing on that crank though, but that would raise costs of machining the crank cover too much. Those engines are gems, don't let any one of them go to waste, you never know, we might need them one day! Like when their electric bubble goes POP!
I just came across this video by complete accident......I like your personality, and the absolute frugalness of this and all the sandpaper tricks....gotta say....friggin sweet to know you can get some more juice outta an old kerploded motor with a little bit of sandpaper and elbow grease
Great vis as always from the Taryl man. I'm 76 now and have een mechanicking for more than 60 years but I always learn something from Mr T. Stay safe and well my friend ..... Phil from Yorkshire in the UK.
I'm not a mechanic. I'll probably never rebuild an engine, much less a 5hp briggs. But somehow you got me to watch a 90 minute video on how to do just that. You're brilliant! I did learn a lot, though. You never know when some of these tips will come in handy! Nice job!
May seem funny to you but your seriously my hero. I new nothing about engines a couple years ago and then just by watching you and learning i now don't need help or have to pay any to fix my stuff because i can now do it all myself no matter the problem. Thank you for everything you do and the little comedy side show even makes my 11 yr old autistic boy laugh like crazy. God bless you Big T
Haha I loved it when you babied the engine block and then the final start up with the engine racing and you listening carefully made me laugh and remember my time happily listening to corvette engines run at WOT on a test stand at the GM tech center. There's so much to love about your videos. I can not wait to hear you howl and "there's your dinner".
omg! My wife watched this entire video in one sitting with me - somehow your crazy sense of humor is incredibly appealing to her. Keep it up - she is beginning to develop an appreciation for resurrecting mistreated gear
Another great video, Taryl. It was the longest video yet, but it went by so quickly because it was filled with very good information. 👍 Washing that engine was very funny too! 😂
What this guy just did in 1h and 30 minutes took me 4-5 years to learn by my self and my father and I still learned a few thing the holes in the thing where the valves go that’s a good tip I’ve taken dozens apart and never really noticed that but everything else is spot on and I’m going to start useing this video as a reference or guide line video like for specs and stuff can’t tell you have many hours I have into frigging around with this stuff only to find out it was something stupid awesome video dude
Hey taryl you ve got a Frenchman fan back here on the old land. I even changed my job and became a lawn mover mechanic because of u...good for me my teeth still look good..but I've learned a lot from you. Thanks to you and your awesome team
Hi there I am from England I love your videos I am a greenkeeper at a golf club I do all the servicing on hour machines and other at bowling clubs and members michenes lean a lot from your videos there are top would love to meet you.
T. D., you're very thorough in your procedures and your explanations. The timing marks remind me of when I was 12 or 13 years old. For some reason I took the engine apart on Dad's riding mower and offset the timing by a tooth or so. It had an awesome loping idle. Dad did not agree and put it right again. Oh well, when you're obsessed with engines, you sometimes make mistakes.
I was eating breakfast while watching this one & starting laughing &almost choked when you starting bathing the engine block....wow, that was funny!...love your vids!
Excellent tutorial video Taryl and crew,this makes rebuilding a small engine actually kinda fun,but if you seriously want to avoid valve and premature wear and tear issues down the road with your small engines like this,don't run low quality"junk"oil through them. I recommend 3 brands that are scientifically proven for maximum engine durability. 1.)The first brand would be Opti-4 cycle oil(best petroleum oil in the oil industry),either straight SAE 30 weight or SAE 10W-30 weight. 2.)The second brand that has scientifically proven itself for excellent engine durability is Mobile-1 synthetic oil,either SAE 10W-30,SAE straight SAE 30 weight,SAE OW-30,5W-30 weight oil. 3.)The very best oil in the industry with a number 1 rating is Amsoil synthetic and I recommend this oil above all of them. 4.)In either SAE OW-30,10W-30,5W-30,SAE 30 weight.(these are FULLY compatable with factory 5W-30 or 10W-30 engines) These oils that I just mentioned are automotive oils,these are much tougher with longer life then the store brand or lower tier oils that most people use to save a buck on oil. I'd rather pay $12.49 cents for a quart of Amsoils OW-30 then have to pay out $300.00 to $500.00 for a basic engine rebuild any day.
4 gauge I thought you weren't supposed to use those high end synthetic oils in small engines because they have detergents in them that will foam up with non pressurized "splasher" type oiling systems like most small engines have.
@@jhitt79 That's not correct,Amsoil has anti-foam detergents in their oils,the reason why that you want to use the super-high-💵-dollar synthetic oils are for several reasons. 1.)Up to 3-times the normal amount of hours between oil changes.(If you look at the T.B.N.of an oil,the higher the number,the better.The T.B.N.scale measured from O-to-15.Amsoils OW-30 T.B.N.is 12.5,which is the highest base number from any oil that's currently on the market) 2.)The slicker oils actually save fuel because your cutting friction at a much higher rate then the"stock"recommended oils will. Amsoil oils OW-30 is very close to wet ice on wet ice.(slickest surface in the world) 3.)I've been using Amsoils OW-30 since 1999 when I started dealing with Amsoil.Now,Mobile-1 is just below Amsoil in terms of overall quality.The Opti-4 cycle oil is the only petroleum that's actually better then Mobile-1's synthetic oil. Opti-4 is made in West Germany and is the only petroleum oil that I'd recommend for small engines,or any engine for that matter.(I actually ran Opti-4 10W-30 in my Ford truck many years ago,it actually increased my fuel mileage by about 1.5 miles per gallon)
@@gfriedman99 All I can say to that is this... "SOUNDS LIKE 💰 MONEY"...see ya'on the next engine rebuilding video. Which will set you back about $300.00-$500.00 bucks. I'll take the $12.49 dollar oil any day of the week. Chewed up cranks,leaking seals,warped deck,heads,crank damage,scored cylinder wall(s). This is what helps keep lawn mower shops in business. But if you want to donate about 3 lifetimes worth of oil changes to the lawnmower shop is up to you.
Great video ....Surprised you still had a crankshaft journal that was in spec .....Those old cool bore L head engines truly are great engines . To bad Briggs has decided to phase them out . I have found in most cases only 10 under con rods and 30 over pistons are available . I love the excuses they provided ....Decimal level, {NOISE}control , or emissions. Yet for years they made low tone as well as super low tone mufflers for these engines. ////Nice valve grinder / I use a Sunnen at work and a older Black and Decker at my home shop. Valve guide bushings from Briggs are hard to find as well 1/4 . The 5/16 are still available and can be purchased fairly easily for typical twin L heads . I enjoyed this video as a fellow Master Service Tech I must say you were very thorough . I to use neway valve seat cutters and just as you said those cutters and pilots are expensive so providing the emery cloth method was genius .
The explanations in these videos are very excellent. Also, the camera work is very aggressive and misses nothing. I do believe Mr. Cameraman would shove you out of the way to get a shot. So much better than those timid ones that are afraid to move the camera and miss half the details. Get in there, boy. Knock old Taryl on the floor iffen you gotta. Get that shot! Good job, all around. And I don't want to leave out the music, sound effects, graphics, special effects, and sound. I can always hear everything. Some videos are so bad that the guy could be 2 feet from the camera and you still can't hear because of all the echoes and room acoustics. I can tell that beyond all the craziness, you guys ain't a foolin' around. From one viewer, thank you for your hard work.
32:03 imagine being a customer walking into this garage and never heard of Taryl and his antics. Lmao. You think they'd stick around after witnessing this ordeal 🤣👍
I have a small engine shop in NE Mississippi and I've been a fan of your's for a long time. I've also got a Lawnmower Hall of Fame on my shop wall that has pictures of You, Carl Childers, and Forrest Gump. When customers ask, I make sure they understand why your picture deserves a place on the wall. I can honestly say that you inspired me to open a shop in my retirement and I'm having a ball. I even have a Slippers that lives down the road and is a constant PITA with his daily visits. The great part is I'm a Hoosier also, so I understand "Worshing" parts and checking "Battrays". I even find myself saying muffkin and carbatraytor every now and then. I want to be just like you when I grow up, which ain't gonna happen any time soon.....
I love the fact that you really don’t over due the job.these Briggs are tough...clean it up lube it good and they’ll run I filled a crank with water and ran it to lock up....after draining and refilling with oil I freed it up and it still runs and that was ten years ago tough lil engines for sure
Good video, I like these start to finish videos and how you tell it slow and easy so any knucklehead can kind of do it on his bench in the garage. Yours are definitely the best DIY videos on the tube.
Excellent viewing and I have often wondered about setting the governor properly on engines ,the way you show it is so easy to understand.I have an old Howard rotorvator with a 5hp Briggs engine and will be giving it a go as it just seems a bit lacking on full throttle .Thanks so much .I like your old school approach sometimes , just like a lot of what my dad taught me .I fault find many small engines and enjoy it so much stuck away in my shed tinkering but am always glad to learn new ways .Fantastic viewing and camera work and long my it continue

You have to warn us about Muriatic Acid and it smells bad and it's poisonous? Taryl have y'all ever had one of those special girlfriends? I mean same deal dude...
Hello Tarly. I am 72 years old. I’ve worked on plenty engines. You are second to no one. Keep it up.
Anybody like you or I that have worked on engines basically our entire lives no about a Briggs & Stratton crankshaft and rod whether or not it's going to knock or not those things are practically indestructible
I have a Honda 9 horsepower riding lawn mower with a ball bearing lower end crankshaft, it blew the oil dipstick out last summer and locked up with the Piston, but it did not and I repeat did not hurt the crankshaft it's still runs it's still idle but it smokes more now, I'm going to use it the rest of the summer if it had been a Briggs and Stratton crankshaft it probably would have ruined it
Not anymore. Herd china ain't sending no more
Tarly fixes all lol
Rip
You guy's are the best small engine builders out there,i watched this whole video and it took me back 61 yrs..Those old motors would hall Ass, i put one on a go cart (age 14) and it ran 37 MPH thought i was going a Hundred.. We Love watching you and your team do your Thing.. Thanks
Yes he's good
Glad we have Tayrl because TV isn’t a thing since 1989.
Ever since The View & CNN came on the air folks like me has been afraid of turnin on any TVs...
Have looked at a couple of this guys videos out of curiosity since I have worked on these small air-cooled engines since 1971. The information he is giving is 100% correct.

The 5 hp briggs rebuild was done in the most neatest way. Very informative, and detailed. Great job on your part.
I've spent a life time putting lip stick on pigs just ask my girlfriend. Only Taryl does it best...
Hi Taryl - Pete here from Limerick, Ireland. Just discovered your channel and enjoying it, love your sense of humour as well as your old-school skills - getting nothing done as I am addicted to your videos! You're a good guy.

I have a Harry mower myself with a 35 year old B&S Max engine that catches within 1 or 2 pulls of the starter and mows overgrown grass with ease. Never gave up on me over 21 years of ownership. Modern stuff is crap and unfortunately, skilled guys like ourselves are crippled due to planned obsolescence and criminal overpricing/unavailability of spares. Sickens me that our governments are not targeting the greedy manufacturers but are willing to participate in 'greenwashing' - a new washing machine looks sexy and 'green' with 'recyclable' parts and 'eco' or 'low temperature' programmes but the one-piece outer drum and undersized bearings guarantees a trp to the scrap pile within 5 years.

My favorite quote - "This isn't the space shuttle; it's a garden scratcher." Great video, thank you !! 😄
The amount of work put in to these videos in incredible definitely worth a thumbs up
Nice job, Glad to see these old engines brought back to life.
To get the valve springs in, ziptie the springs compressed, install the keepers, and cut the zip ties and pull them out. Works great if you dont have that tool.
Last of the real professional small engine mechanics, Here in Canada you will never find a person that knows what a carburetor does never-mind try to rebuild an engine. Love these guys they work hard and know how to have fun.
USA has the same problem.
This is not what I expected while researching my 5.8L Ford oil leak, but I'm glad I got to see this riveting episode of blade man and throttle!

I used to race this motor and carb in the WKA Briggs heavy class (methanol, governor removed, blueprinted block and card by Dave Fisher, Sarah's dad from the IRL, close to 7000 rpm, and I thought I knew a lot about this engine... but Taryll explains it beautifully!!!
You are no knucklehead and you are a great teacher Thank you
I remember a TV show where they had the masked magician showing how all the tricks of the magic trade were done. You guys are like the masked small engine repairmen, showing all the tricks of the small engine repair trade. I can't tell you how much I enjoy watching and learning from your videos. My favorite quote came from Junior "Crazy old Taryl he went wild again" which came from the How To Rebuild Tecumseh Diaphragm Carburetors. That video walked me through fixing an old Toro S200. I did a little jig when that baby came back to life. One last thing guess who I found when I replaced the auger belt? Yup poor old freeze dried FLUFFY! Thanks to all of you guys. Merry Christmas and a Happy & Healthy New Year.
I had a friend who was a carb. expert. I believe he passed away at an early age because of the chemical fumes entering his lungs and chemical liquids entering his body through his skin. He was an amazing man who is missed. Taryl is the best of the best from what I see in this video. John was his equal when he was with us. I wish Taryl would use gloves and proper ventilation to keep his lungs and skin safe. Again, Taryl is the best of the best!
John was a pussy. Taryl is fine. No one likes a safety sally.
Hello Taryl,Big fan of you and watched the whole video,I am only 11 years old and i love to work on engines you have taught me so much about them and I have the same engine it doesnt run sadly and i got a new ignition coil for it and put it on and sprayed some easy start and pulled on it a few times and then it shot a big blue flame out of the exhaust so i think that the exhaust valve is not timed right and so we dont have the tools to do a valve job so i think i will just buy a new exhaust valve and hope for the best.Thank you Taryl you have taught me so much about engines and your really funny,i think your one of the only small engine mechanic on youtube that makes really entertaining videos and make us laugh.
All you have to do is line up the timing marks and the timing is set correctly. A blue flame out of the exhaust is normal.
OMG is this funny, only 5min into it. OK, that was the best small engine vid I've ever seen, going to watch again with my young boys w/pizza, soda, and popcorn. luv it!
Thanks for drawing the clocking pattern for the new rings and also for inventing the flux capacitor.
Briggs engines with ball-bearings have the timing marks placed differently so you can see them with the bearing in place, no need to pull the bearing. Your videos are very detailed and excellent for beginners, nothing is overlooked. Nice job!
Thank you very much gentlemen for this amazing video. My grandfather gave me the WOLSELEY cultivator 5hp SUPER MAJOR with the motor you are presenting (Model 130202 Type 0788-01). You are professionals. Best regards from little Greece.
Your skits are funny, but really enjoy how you break things down in simple ways, and practical ways without using expensive tools.
Or being .arrogant
The only small engine channel on RUclips worth watching. Even if you don't care about engines, this channel will have you hooked.
Even though I know all this I enjoy watching Taryl do it, and learn all his Tarylisms and such. No better entertainment in the world of mower repair! 👍🙋😎.
For me, it's been a good refresher for the class I finished, now three terms ago.
B D5
The fact that I know none of this, yet keep coming back for the entertainment... 🤣 I am getting more and more confident with small engine repair. I've fixed exactly one riding mower, so far. Taryl's videos fire me up for the next repair. 😁😛 The baby motor bath. 🤣
You are the most creative person I've ever seen on RUclips. I never thought that I could learn so much end be entertained at the same time. Your wit is a sign of pure intelligence and knowledge.
Your the best bud! You've saved me time, money and and cut the frustration factor considerably. Ive watched 20 other videos trying to find the info I needed on the 5 hp. B&S. Your the only one who answered it for me. From now on I'll go straight to Taryl for answers. Many thanks from a New Mexico hillbilly. Gotta go it's time for dinner!
This is the best worst a ting of all time. So glad i found your channel. Starting a small engine and lawn mower repair joint in our town in NC and your videos have been invaluable. You should do virtual classes or online certs or education or something of that nature. A subscription that guarantees youll see questions.
Hey Tayrl, when I first came across one of your videos here on youtube I passed on watching assuming that you were a clown that was just making goofy videos. That being said, I was in a jam and needed some advice so I decided to watch. Well I'm here 1st to apologize for ASSuming that and 2nd to say not only did you surprise me, I was also extremely impressed sir. You are one incredible mechanic and I hope one day I have half the experience and knowledge that you do. I enjoy your videos and truly appreciate everything that you do. Thank you!
Nailed it
Out-STANDING video! Basic engine overhaul 101. Started playing with Briggs engines in Jr. High School, and moved on to "real" engines as an adult. Now "retired" from automotive service, and on my 2nd. career as an RN, I enjoy tinkering with small engines again.
I really enjoyed the video this is one of the best channels ever on RUclips . Thanks blademan and throttle 😀
I watched this all over again, 2020 saw it back in 2018, its nice to see someone take something old and bring it back to life again..Thanks,Ya'll are funny, See Ya Texas
A caution with Muriatic Acid, folks. Acid vapors will start rusting all steel in the area so don't leave any lying out in a cup, on a rag, or spilled under the bench. Make sure all the safety seal is removed from the bottle lip and the cap is tight with its gasket or you will come back to a nasty surprise in the shop.
This has been a public service announcement from someone that didn't know better.
Good reason to keep lead acid batteries out of the shop
Nice, must not use it in automotive enough or just covered in chapters my classes didn't cover or other textbooks than what I have since I wasn't aware of this. Hopefully somewhere using this has an MSDS with people that read them. I did it out of boredom some drills, found out we had sheets for Blue Hawaiian (hand soap) and we didn't even have it there my entire career.
If used to derust, how would you seal it up, ie, the inside of a formerly rusty gas tank, so that it doesn't rust, again?
Didn't know that, thanks.
It's a Sunday mornin here up in Mashpee Mass, um drinking my coffee and watching ur vidz.
I notice that there is an oil splasher on connecting rod, so I gather that there is not a mech.
governor, but a windvane. Not going to open a shop, but this will be a great hobby, knowing
how to fix these and the generators that go with them. Taryl, A BIG thanks to you for doing
these videos.
I used to take old push mowers and grind the Exhaust valve with a drill on a bench grinder, set the clearance and the POS B&S Vertical would have new life. I took a 71 code mower, filed the points to fix the spark, set the valves, and used the $20 mower for five years and gave it away to a neighbor. A year later it was tore up from leaving it in the rain and the starter clutch was rusted (LOL). People just throw away decent stuff today (we live in a disposable world).
I rebuilt a 2 1/2 Briggs as a kid in 1979 and had a ball with it on a put together junk yard mini bike. Lots of fun!!!
I use a piece of glass from an old coffee table. Oil the glass and put a full sheet of sandpaper on it. The oil holds the sandpaper and then figure 8 sanding method to check the block and cylinder head mating surfaces for level/flatness. You know,same as they do on the space shuttle.
I use a flat piece of 3/4 steel and tape the edges down to do mine.
The glass and oil method works great too and is also a cheap way to get various grits for knife sharpening, and sharpening planer blades or chisels
The amount of creativity and dedication is OUTSTANDING?!!!??
I’ve been a carpenter my whole life.
I decided I should learn about engines after 50 years on the earth.
5 minutes into the video I’m not disappointed.
Mechanics are funny!
they spend alot of time alone, gotta amuse yourself some how, lol Taradactal Is the Man!
HA! I have been looking for a no nonsense vintage inch pound torque wrench for quite awhile. The one I just bought on line is an SK made in the USA, Illinois. 0 to 200 inch pounds. Pretty sure yours is the same. I did not notice this till after my purchase watching this video tonight. At least with this one it will not need calibrated like the click type down the road. I have an 8 horse Briggs complete rebuild I am going to do in October. Your videos are just the best! Your attention to detail is tops! Sure I could buy a newer engine but to be able to keep the original Briggs on my John Deer R72 30" rider is priceless. Thank you sir!
I learned a few things from this one.
I found it a lot easier to install the carburator stem first - then put on the gas tank.
Reminds me of the old mini bike days using the b&s engines.
I am so glad you demonstrated how it is done in the real world instead of in the fear and terror book world.
If you are not building a top fuel dragster or running a motorcycle on Daytona, you are running a 3-3.5K rpm flat head with about 30-40hp/lt, you don't need a machine shop to level the head and the cyl face or a 3 angle valve job.
You don't need red-loktite on rod bolts or lock stubs, it will stay together. You don't even need an accurate torque wrench, just some sense.
I do wish they had a ball bearing on that crank though, but that would raise costs of machining the crank cover too much.
Those engines are gems, don't let any one of them go to waste, you never know, we might need them one day!
Like when their electric bubble goes POP!
Great job, I always learn something new watching your videos
I just came across this video by complete accident......I like your personality, and the absolute frugalness of this and all the sandpaper tricks....gotta say....friggin sweet to know you can get some more juice outta an old kerploded motor with a little bit of sandpaper and elbow grease
Thanks for the great camera work, well lit, naming the parts, explaining all the details what a great help this was!
Great vis as always from the Taryl man. I'm 76 now and have een mechanicking for more than 60 years but I always learn something from Mr T.
Stay safe and well my friend ..... Phil from Yorkshire in the UK.
I'm not a mechanic. I'll probably never rebuild an engine, much less a 5hp briggs. But somehow you got me to watch a 90 minute video on how to do just that. You're brilliant! I did learn a lot, though. You never know when some of these tips will come in handy! Nice job!
May seem funny to you but your seriously my hero. I new nothing about engines a couple years ago and then just by watching you and learning i now don't need help or have to pay any to fix my stuff because i can now do it all myself no matter the problem. Thank you for everything you do and the little comedy side show even makes my 11 yr old autistic boy laugh like crazy. God bless you Big T
Haha I loved it when you babied the engine block and then the final start up with the engine racing and you listening carefully made me laugh and remember my time happily listening to corvette engines run at WOT on a test stand at the GM tech center. There's so much to love about your videos. I can not wait to hear you howl and "there's your dinner".
omg! My wife watched this entire video in one sitting with me - somehow your crazy sense of humor is incredibly appealing to her. Keep it up - she is beginning to develop an appreciation for resurrecting mistreated gear
I'm glad I went and checked old vides to see if I missed any. Sure enough, I missed this gem. Great video as always.
Learned a lot here Taryl. Plus the entertainment value is priceless. 👍
I wonder if the guys at NASA are sitting around saying "Ok guys , lets get this right....this isn't a 5 horse briggs"
"John your engineering isn't up to par for this rocket engine, why don't you go to work for Krohler"
Wild Horses ...and that’s how the line of courage engines were born.
Sure they did
😂😂😂😂
@@WildHorsesOfCourse He'd probably get De Motted... see what I did there?
Had to come say...... Congratulations y'all!!!!! 1 Million!!!!!!!! Love all the info and fun videos. Much love and respect!!! 1 Million ..1 Million
Another great video, Taryl. It was the longest video yet, but it went by so quickly because it was filled with very good information. 👍 Washing that engine was very funny too! 😂
What this guy just did in 1h and 30 minutes took me 4-5 years to learn by my self and my father and I still learned a few thing the holes in the thing where the valves go that’s a good tip I’ve taken dozens apart and never really noticed that but everything else is spot on and I’m going to start useing this video as a reference or guide line video like for specs and stuff can’t tell you have many hours I have into frigging around with this stuff only to find out it was something stupid awesome video dude
Thanks for my dinner Taryl. We need more of Blademan on the inner-screen!
Hey taryl you ve got a Frenchman fan back here on the old land. I even changed my job and became a lawn mover mechanic because of u...good for me my teeth still look good..but I've learned a lot from you. Thanks to you and your awesome team
Hi there I am from England I love your videos I am a greenkeeper at a golf club I do all the servicing on hour machines and other at bowling clubs and members michenes lean a lot from your videos there are top would love to meet you.
T. D., you're very thorough in your procedures and your explanations. The timing marks remind me of when I was 12 or 13 years old. For some reason I took the engine apart on Dad's riding mower and offset the timing by a tooth or so. It had an awesome loping idle. Dad did not agree and put it right again. Oh well, when you're obsessed with engines, you sometimes make mistakes.
Holy Lick..Look what I found....Just when I thought I reached the end of the internet..I guess they saved the best for last... Keep On Keeping On
Informative, knowledgeable, helpful, and hilarious. Thank you for the great info.
You're just a damn genius. I wish I could teach half as well as you do.
Genius taryal genius your the best chief surgeon I have ever seen thank you sir
I was eating breakfast while watching this one & starting laughing &almost choked when you starting bathing the engine block....wow, that was funny!...love your vids!
Excellent tutorial video Taryl and crew,this makes rebuilding a small engine actually kinda fun,but if you seriously want to avoid valve and premature wear and tear issues down the road with your small engines like this,don't run low quality"junk"oil through them.
I recommend 3 brands that are scientifically proven for maximum engine durability.
1.)The first brand would be Opti-4 cycle oil(best petroleum oil in the oil industry),either straight SAE 30 weight or SAE 10W-30 weight.
2.)The second brand that has scientifically proven itself for excellent engine durability is Mobile-1 synthetic oil,either SAE 10W-30,SAE straight SAE 30 weight,SAE OW-30,5W-30 weight oil.
3.)The very best oil in the industry with a number 1 rating is Amsoil synthetic and I recommend this oil above all of them.
4.)In either SAE OW-30,10W-30,5W-30,SAE 30 weight.(these are FULLY compatable with factory 5W-30 or 10W-30 engines)
These oils that I just mentioned are automotive oils,these are much tougher with longer life then the store brand or lower tier oils that most people use to save a buck on oil.
I'd rather pay $12.49 cents for a quart of Amsoils OW-30 then have to pay out $300.00 to $500.00 for a basic engine rebuild any day.
4 gauge I thought you weren't supposed to use those high end synthetic oils in small engines because they have detergents in them that will foam up with non pressurized "splasher" type oiling systems like most small engines have.
I've been using 15w-40 house brand motor oil in mine for years. It has ZDDP in it.
@@jhitt79 That's not correct,Amsoil has anti-foam detergents in their oils,the reason why that you want to use the super-high-💵-dollar synthetic oils are for several reasons.
1.)Up to 3-times the normal amount of hours between oil changes.(If you look at the T.B.N.of an oil,the higher the number,the better.The T.B.N.scale measured from O-to-15.Amsoils OW-30 T.B.N.is 12.5,which is the highest base number from any oil that's currently on the market)
2.)The slicker oils actually save fuel because your cutting friction at a much higher rate then the"stock"recommended oils will.
Amsoil oils OW-30 is very close to wet ice on wet ice.(slickest surface in the world)
3.)I've been using Amsoils OW-30 since 1999 when I started dealing with Amsoil.Now,Mobile-1 is just below Amsoil in terms of overall quality.The Opti-4 cycle oil is the only petroleum that's actually better then Mobile-1's synthetic oil.
Opti-4 is made in West Germany and is the only petroleum oil that I'd recommend for small engines,or any engine for that matter.(I actually ran Opti-4 10W-30 in my Ford truck many years ago,it actually increased my fuel mileage by about 1.5 miles per gallon)
@@gfriedman99 All I can say to that is this...
"SOUNDS LIKE 💰 MONEY"...see ya'on the next engine rebuilding video.
Which will set you back about $300.00-$500.00 bucks.
I'll take the $12.49 dollar oil any day of the week.
Chewed up cranks,leaking seals,warped deck,heads,crank damage,scored cylinder wall(s).
This is what helps keep lawn mower shops in business.
But if you want to donate about 3 lifetimes worth of oil changes to the lawnmower shop is up to you.
it's how oil and airfilters are maintained that make engines last
Wow, an hour and a half! Thank you, Taryl Fixes All!!
I'm 5 mins in. Did not realize til I read this comment. I don't have that kinda time to waste.

Another excellent video, thanks for spending the time making this long one to share:) I just received your music CD and it’s great!
Lol, hit the trigger by mistake... Never got out his last words... Thanks Taryl, that was very enjoyable to watch you bring that guy back to life.
Great video ....Surprised you still had a crankshaft journal that was in spec .....Those old cool bore L head engines truly are great engines . To bad Briggs has decided to phase them out . I have found in most cases only 10 under con rods and 30 over pistons are available . I love the excuses they provided ....Decimal level, {NOISE}control , or emissions. Yet for years they made low tone as well as super low tone mufflers for these engines. ////Nice valve grinder / I use a Sunnen at work and a older Black and Decker at my home shop. Valve guide bushings from Briggs are hard to find as well 1/4 . The 5/16 are still available and can be purchased fairly easily for typical twin L heads . I enjoyed this video as a fellow Master Service Tech I must say you were very thorough . I to use neway valve seat cutters and just as you said those cutters and pilots are expensive so providing the emery cloth method was genius .
5 HP B&S was the motor to have on your Manco yard kart back in the day. I have a Manco single seater frame in my garage that needs attention.
Great video, Taryl, best ever.
Seriously best 90 minutes. That was awesome
The two dislikes are from people who thought it was the space shuttle.
Caleb Rudd yes sir you’re correct
I'm seeing it now at 230.
230 techs disappointed that he didn't have the rocket appliances.
Probably Nasa Employees ;)
or don't like water and/or take baths, tho i wishTaryl had the rubber duck with it
you guys should have your own TV show. I enjoyed every second...thank you
The explanations in these videos are very excellent. Also, the camera work is very aggressive and misses nothing. I do believe Mr. Cameraman would shove you out of the way to get a shot. So much better than those timid ones that are afraid to move the camera and miss half the details. Get in there, boy. Knock old Taryl on the floor iffen you gotta. Get that shot!
Good job, all around. And I don't want to leave out the music, sound effects, graphics, special effects, and sound. I can always hear everything. Some videos are so bad that the guy could be 2 feet from the camera and you still can't hear because of all the echoes and room acoustics.
I can tell that beyond all the craziness, you guys ain't a foolin' around. From one viewer, thank you for your hard work.
alex tworkowski thank you 🙏 we hope you’ll keep watching! Now There’s Yur Dinner!’
32:03 imagine being a customer walking into this garage and never heard of Taryl and his antics. Lmao. You think they'd stick around after witnessing this ordeal 🤣👍
What a pro. Appreciate the long form rebuild tutorial.
Thanks for the video. I'm about to tackle that on a 91 Snapper mower..
Taryl, you are an artist.
Nice job sir!!!
I have a small engine shop in NE Mississippi and I've been a fan of your's for a long time. I've also got a Lawnmower Hall of Fame on my shop wall that has pictures of You, Carl Childers, and Forrest Gump. When customers ask, I make sure they understand why your picture deserves a place on the wall. I can honestly say that you inspired me to open a shop in my retirement and I'm having a ball. I even have a Slippers that lives down the road and is a constant PITA with his daily visits. The great part is I'm a Hoosier also, so I understand "Worshing" parts and checking "Battrays". I even find myself saying muffkin and carbatraytor every now and then. I want to be just like you when I grow up, which ain't gonna happen any time soon.....
I love the fact that you really don’t over due the job.these Briggs are tough...clean it up lube it good and they’ll run I filled a crank with water and ran it to lock up....after draining and refilling with oil I freed it up and it still runs and that was ten years ago tough lil engines for sure
Keep up the great work love the long videos
Thanks for sharing your expertise much appreciated
Thanks for helping us guys working in the shed with minimal tools.
Wholesome garden repair antics of the Highest quality. I learn and laugh bud, y’all are great characters. 💯💪
Thanks for the good video as always! Looking foward for the next episode! Hoping soon for a new lawnmower detectives one!
Good video, I like these start to finish videos and how you tell it slow and easy so any knucklehead can kind of do it on his bench in the garage. Yours are definitely the best DIY videos on the tube.
Cool taryl u should make videos every day
Jonathan Tyndall do you have any idea how long it takes to make a engine rebuild video
He could make videos on other stuff such as more nawn mower repair videos

Excellent viewing and I have often wondered about setting the governor properly on engines ,the way you show it is so easy to understand.I have an old Howard rotorvator with a 5hp Briggs engine and will be giving it a go as it just seems a bit lacking on full throttle .Thanks so much .I like your old school approach sometimes , just like a lot of what my dad taught me .I fault find many small engines and enjoy it so much stuck away in my shed tinkering but am always glad to learn new ways .Fantastic viewing and camera work and long my it continue
Miss you guys!!!
