I enjoy spending the time to refurbish a piece of equipment instead of throwing it out.
Yes Carl, I’m a cheap @$$ too!
Me too!
It's not being cheap, it's being frugal -- and smart. 😊
@@michaelwarren2391 its also getting to know how things work and are put together. I think there are a lot of people from the last couple of generations that are going to have a few issues in just knowing one end of a tool to the other
@@christopherelworthy9640 I think you're right.
Good stuff Steve. I'm 84 years old and they say you can't teach old dogs new tricks. WRONG! I've learned a lot from you over the past couple of years.
Great channel.
Dave I’m so tickled to learn you enjoy this. I’m 70 and hope to follow your lead. Means I have many more years to drive my wife batty😎
Thank You...
Steve just want to thank you for your video on the electric ignition replacement.... I had it on backwards and wasn't gapped right.....Thank you
You're Welcome...
I am THOROUGHLY ENJOYING this series! Keep em coming Steve!
Thanks, will do!
Don't we all wish Steve was our premier!
Wish alberta knew as much as steve.
THANK you steve for EVERYTHING.
Looks like those points did some underwater work.
Agreed!
Stevo, I thought I've seen everything, I'm a retired fire service mechanic. I work part time at a catholic abbey 600 acre farm mostly on lawn maintenance equipment as theirs not much farming going on now. The sisters complained their Kubota diesel zero turn wasn't cutting cleanly, checked the knives, they were upside down and just beating the crap out of the grass. Sometimes their are volunteers that think they help, just make more work for me. Sorry for the rant.
Steve- a netter way to loosen a flywheel is to put some pressure against it from the back (someone prying lightly OR a couple of wedges- not a lot needed!) and then hit the crank end with a "chattergun" (air chisel with a pointed driver), just like removing a steering wheel. It will jump right off!
Takes me back to summers working with my Dad who worked in a lawnmower shop. One of my jobs was tearing down old engines and putting the good parts in bins out back so they could be reused, then for the kids with mini bikes and go carts we would sell them engines that ran that I would build out of the used parts.
Steve, reminds me of my 1955 Chev 6 cylinder (my first car) and the points in the distributor! Thanks for the return to yesteryear.. Keep your videos coming!
You are welcome!
It worked on my 1970s Lawn Boy on first try! Thanks a lot!
You're Welcome...
Wow!!!! I cant believe that capacitor/condenser is still any good!!!!!! I thought for sure you were going to have to replace it!!!! And boy did I cringe when you hit them points with the sand paper!!!! LOL..... but hell... It works!!!!! Great video Steve!! Cheers!
Hi Steve - it's Big Rodders in Ireland. You brought me back to 1976. I still use the moeer I bought then but for the first 17 years I had erratic starting despite much investigation, which included points checking/cleaning. I thought it was carb problems. Finally, replacement points solved the issue but the reason for the fault was intriguing. While the condenser looked perfect on the outside, when I cut it open I found slight corrosion, enough to cause the problem that plagued me for years.
This is really helpful. I have a 1990 Craftsman Tiller with no spark, so we will check this out. I'm sure different, but probably not that different.
@Steve's Small Engine Salon ...
I have to Thank you Steve! It turned out that corroded points on my Very Old & not working 1500psi pressure washer, just required a bit of sanding and it "Sparked right Away!"
PS. I was working on it as I watched this video In my garage. LoL...
Right on
Being a car guy, i would have lost money that the condenser was good on that. Great info
Thank You...
I wish once you would come across something you can't fix and that will make you mortal. Its like you have the hands of God, your videos are the best and your explaining on the processes 2nd to none.
WOW! Thank You...
He just doesn't show those. 😆
I'm very happy to see you fixed the points. I hate when people change them over to electronic ignition. You are much better off with a point ignition system. I have been working on these things for around 40 years and I've never seen a set of points that rusted. I'm amazed you got them to work. Good job!
Steve, this video series is awsome! I have never seen a rustier set of points before work after only sanding them. Keep up the good stuff!
Thanks, will do!
Sir I literally just spent all day working on the exact same motor on a power rake and couldn't get spark..And yes i sanded the flywheel thinking that would do the trick LOL, came inside and your video came up to show me what to do...WOW you saved me from canceling a few jobs.
Great 👍
This series is motivating me to restore my old lawn mower rather then just taking it to the recycling (landfill).
Right on
I had on old crapsman electric start mulching mower that I was only too happy to send off to the metal recycler. the batteries lasted about a year, it had been heavily abused, and was undersized for the lawn I was mowing with it. and yes, I did the thing steve says not to do - I got tired of replacing batteries, and started it with a cordless drill. (it got replaced with a commercial mower)
Our local "Tune-up" is a plug, air filter, and oil for just $59.95. Sharpen blade + $8. I get many free mowers each spring. Yea! Me
Just took my late uncle's tiller out of the brush to work on it. 1985 Coast to Coast (MTD), and hasnt run in at least a decade. Same engine, but in way better shape than Steves! Gives me lots of hope.
Wow! Awesome! I have a Troy Pony Rototiller, Don't remember how old, decades. Just haven't had the heart to get rid of it. Maybe now that I have found your channel, I can attempt fixing it my self.
Right on
Now that's a quality learning video
Thank You...
Man am I glad I found this video THANK YOU! I am wrestling with the same engine that was an old 2 inch sears water pump ! My son and I just started diving into it and realized there is no spark so we are going to try your instructions this week thank you thank you thank you awesome detailed video!
You're Welcome...
What's the gap supposed to be between the magnetic flywheel and the magneto piece 🤔 ?
🍻CHEERS🍻
Just signed in..waiting for spark! Lol
.

.

That first spark was so strong....a sweet thing! Enjoying these🍺🇨🇦🍺
You and me both!
Just a side note to anyone watching, use emery paper as Steve uses, best not to use wet and dry sand paper that usually has silicone in it and not good to use for cleaning points.
Thanks for the info!
I've used folded sandpaper on points many times, usually 400 grit. Not as good as new points, but generally an improvement. I always use a plain business card (moistened with acetone if possible) to clean the residual grit and any oil off the points after sanding. It's been my experience that with battery/coil systems, there is transfer of metal from one point to the other, resulting in a mountain on one side and a crater in the other. You will discover that when the mountain peak tears the sandpaper or business card. I don't know whether this is the same with magnetos, but removing that peak may require a point file. If you try removing it with sandpaper, don't fold it over so you sand only the mountain side until they're flat again. Know that after the EMP from that nuclear blast takes out all solid-state ignition systems, those old points will still be working fine. 😁
Thanks for this series, Steve. The Engine Guru wins again.........hey, that could be Marvel’s next superhero!
You're Welcome...
Yes this is good. I’m working on the same engine on an edger.
I had spark but not now. I will take the flywheel off tomorrow but now I’m getting a Sierra Nevada Torpedo and watching another one of your exciting videos, the carb one.
Good luck!
I have a front line tiller just like the one you're working on (only in much better shape, it runs). Can't wait to see the next video!
Cool, thanks
When finished I want to see you till a garden. That's a job itself i do plenty in indiana. People love them here. But job well done I'm ready for the next one.
Cool, thanks
This is a great series of videos. How to solve common problems in a practical and methodical way. I hope your good luck continues!
Thank you!
Love the short series. I have an old Sears chipper that I need to fix. I am considering replacing the vintage engine on it but I want to see what condition it's in first. A chipper like this wouldn't be used that much so it may just need some TLC. It looks like it's been stored in a garage all it's life, no rust. It uses a vertical shaft motor.I will compression test it first. It looks like it is using a lawn mower engine. Not sure on the size. The chipper blade looks like a really heavy duty lawn mower blade cut down.
I bought two old beat up rototiller engines to learn how to repair small engines, and these videos are perfect.
Right on
Good series. I enjoy working on and saving the vintage machines that hasn't ran in years. You are doing a great job 👍
Thanks 👍
Thanks Steve you just resolved the issue I was dealing with.
You're Welcome...
You make things look so easy. Wish you were my neighbor.
Thank You...
Looking forward to the next video in that series!!
Thank You...
You got a storebougth tool to get the cluthc of ... i had to weld mine out of some old bits and pices ey =) love your videos kep them comming , its awsome to learn from an 39 year old thinker like you .... im 29 myself (read 40 ) and have repaired and drived trucks all my life but i had an episode with epilepsy in 2012 so they wont have me on a big rig garage anymore . Luckily ther are small engines that i can repair so i got a job at a dealer that sells John deere tractors and sthil ect so your videos make my day every time. Mutch love and respect from Norway ey .... =D Have a awesome summer ahead m8
Right on
Love this series... and like I said in the last 3.... she'll run!
Fingers crossed!
I greatly enjoyed your enthusiasm. I’m excited watching your excitement. Thanks Steve. Ready for the next episode.
Glad to hear it!
I am enjoying this series a lot. I wish I felt more comfortable working on small engines.
You can do it!
Well, I'm in a tough spot. I just finished the last video. I watched every single video you have made and now I have to wait. You're killing me man! What am I going to do now? I guess I'll have to go fire up my own equipment. Thanks for all the awesome videos. You are a great teacher. Brewmaster out! 🍺
Yes sir, this is awesome how you are breaking this down into sections and explaining and showing it step by step! Great series and learning a lot! Thanks!
Much appreciated!
Great series to watch. Very enjoyable. Thanks Steve.
Glad you enjoyed it
@Steve's Small Engine Saloon. Thanks Steve for making this video series. Learning lots with each one.
Hope you and your family stay safe and well.
You're Welcome...and Thank You...
Enjoying this series very much. My dad actually had that garden tiller when I was growing up. Very interesting to watch and can't wait to see it running!!
Very cool!
It's amazing on how the most simple fixes work where so many people over look and over think their repairs. Keep up with the awesome content 🙂🙂
Thanks, will do!
This series is GREAT! Thank You!
Glad you enjoy it!
Outstanding Steve
I really enjoy working on the small engines. Your knowledge, program, and the way you present it are clear and precise.
Thank You !!
You're Welcome...
Wow I didn’t realize that it was a Rototiller. I got one in my old shed, back in the corner . It looks like it’s in halfway nice shape. What a great project oh my God. Steve, you’re the man. Inspiring.
Cleaning the emulsion tube was always an excellent way to learn patience. I've enjoyed every minute of this series. Better knowledge = better continent. Keep it going.
Thank You...
Love the series Steve. Great information. Thanks so much.
Very welcome
Thanks for a honest and informative diagnosis..
You're Welcome...
Very Good Steve this is a great video just like all the other videos you've given us. However , I do wish you / these videos were available back in the 60's and 70's when I could have really used them. I'm not complaining better late then never. Thank you so much!
You're Welcome...
Can't wait for the next episode...
Right on
I have several of those engines I plug the intake/exhaust/breather pull coil points ect sand blast engine. And parts the new paint looks great
I enjoy seeing you bring these engines back to life!
Thank You...
Steve, you’re a really funny and clever guy, I’m from the Uk 🇬🇧 and love watching your videos so many thanks and have a beer for me lol
Awesome, thank you!
Steve, you are the spark of life!!!!
Thank You...
Love this series! Please keep them coming!
Right on Randy! Thank You...
I love this series. Well done Steve!!
Thank You...
I absolutely love the series that you were doing on this. I'm getting to that age where I don't like anything new, but I love seeing old things restored! 👍
I'm so glad!
That engine is the same age as me! I am really enjoying this series and looking forward to the next episode. I have a couple old Snappers that need carburetor .
Right on Brian!
This video series is very well done and just in time. I have an old Briggs attached to a water pump that just came into the shop. I don't have any experience with points and condensers so this was helpful. Cheers!
Clutch tool is currently unavailable. Maybe add a different link.
Scroll down to the bottom of the page....
Great to hear!
I’ve got the exact same tiller all tore down. Looking forward to finally working on it again after watching this. I did the upgrade from points and hope it makes a difference. Great videos! You would be an awesome shop teacher.
Thank You...
I have a 73 and 74 ST16s,Sears,Steve I love this channel.I would hit that like a thousand times if I could,you make me proud to be Canadian.I will make sure to help the next person the way you helped me.Thanks
Wow, thanks!
Spark testing is key to any none start engine. I love your videos on how to do these repairs, thanks a million Steve I learn so much from your ways.
Very welcome
it was neat to see the spark jump around on the ground
Agreed!
Liking this a lot. Learning lots. It’ll run, no doubts about that
Fingers crossed!
Great video. I gad the same engine on my go cart when I was young. I distinctly remember that carb.
Very cool!
Thank you so much for your videos very helpful i inherited a old gadpowered generator from my parents off grid house and it would not start but with this video im able to fixing the problem myself many thanks
Mikael from Sweden
You're Welcome...
I am loving this series! Takes me back to small engine shop class 9th grade. 1976! I probably worked on that model engine!
Cool!
super good tutorial video series, step by step in a way that makes it easy to understand and remember.
Thank You...
As a kid I learned a lot of small engine stuff by just tinkering with my dad. We have an old rototiller exactly like this with a small briggs and no spark. I got it up and going by myself at the time but gave up because points were too much for me. Now that I'm servicing all my equipment for spring I'm glad I found this video! See if the oll tiller will fire up again!
Right on
I really appreciate your step by step videos for a newbie like me . I am willing to learn from watching and doing my own repairs. Thank you
Glad to help
Love this series. Love the way you take 1 thing at a time and explain how to fix it.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge
Glad you enjoy it!
@@StevesSmallEngineSaloon have you done a video on why and how to fix a surging lawnmower engine. Ive looked through your videos but didnt see one.
Love this series Steve, keep it going. Mucking with old engines is a hobby of mine.
Thanks, will do!
Great video Steve! You have inspired me to take another look at my chipper/shredder engine that spins on the fly wheel end without turning the blade end of the crank. Bought a clutch remover tool thanks to your link so now I have a chance! Hopeful it is just a sheared key.
Go for it!
I love these fixum and restoreums Steve .. Great job !
Thank You...
Steve fantastic diagnosis and cure. Good job brother
Thank You...
Great series so far. I'm working on an old tiller with the same type of engine.
Cool!
I’m enjoying this series Steve! I have a few of these old Briggs laying around that I’d like to get running and I appreciate all these little tips you share!
More to come!
Thanks for the video learning alot .. Have a blessed. 🇺🇸
You are the man Steve you can get anything running
Thank You...
I got a free lawn mower once that was being thrown away. Trying to fix it , found it had no spark. Believe it or not it had gunk on the flywheel. Cleaned it off and mower worked for many years. Old toro mower with the Briggs engine. Thanks Steve, really like your videos!!
Yes, Steve, we are enjoying this video series. I appreciate the idea of rehabilitating an old piece of equipment and envy your talent and skill. As far as I’m concerned, you can do as many videos on this subject as you please.
Cool, thanks
Loving this series.
Thank You...
It's like a party... Love this channel !
Keeping down the cost here Steve,
I like it, thanks 👍
You're Welcome...
Sanding a magnet does not make the magnetism change, people simply sand the magnet and around the flywheel so you keep your clearance. In the Briggs test it even tells you this that sanding the magnet does not change spark its just to make sure you keep the clearance you need. Great video Steve love your videos everytime
Right on
Thank Steve I love this series.
You're Welcome...
Good stuff🍻 Keeping the gardening tools in shape.
That's the plan!
Great series. Enjoying every minute of it. Always learning something.
Glad to hear it!
The saga continues!
Right on
Simple and effective! Great!!
Right on
I have always sanded the points and fly wheel and coil. Thanks Steve you can have a beer.
Right on!
Nice video Steve! It's remarkable just how well the older engines were built. I still have some of my Dad's old garden machines from the 50's. I was taught at a young age how to change plugs, points and condenser and such. Keep the oil changed and they just keep on running!
Very cool!
