My tiller loses power when put down into dirt still runs but bogs down what would you think
You impress the heck out of me. Of course, you will get it running! Can't wait to see this series!!!
Of course it’s gonna run.Steve is on the job !
I’m looking forward to this series
Thank You...
Agreed. Looking forward to the video where he finally gets it running
I was fortunate to have had a mini bike when I was a kid. I took my briggs and straton 3hp apart just to see what I could see. It was always easy to put back together thankfully I didn't mess it up. Thanks for the walk down memory lane with this rebuild. Another great show. Thanks.
A series on this would be awesome!
Thank You...
But need to be longer less edited
Its amazing. But I’m not surprised. Steve does everything in the right order, and he explains it so everyone understands. This is prime if anything is 👍😀
Wow, thank you!
I am going to show this series to my small engines class. We've just had a bunch of old equipment donated to the program .
Go for it!
It brings back a lot of memories for me. I spent a lot of time working on those 5hp B&S engines in the 70s. I ran Jari Sickle Bar Mowers at my job as a teenager. My mower always ran the smoothest and fastest. I knew every nut and bolt size. One year my boss bought some Tecumseh engines to replace the B&S but I knew he was going to order at least one more B&S. I waited because those Tecumseh engines were dogs. I've had a bias against Tecumseh ever since. We ran the sickle bar mowers on vacant lots around town, on railroad embankments (not good for oil recirculation), and on ski hills. I loved those days!
Oh, yeah. About changing oil, I don't think we hardly ever did--the first year that is! Then maintenance got real regular after that. I still remember the shop owner where we bought the equipment ask us how often we changed the oil when we had problems with one of the machines.
I have the 2HP baby brother to that tiller from 1977. It still runs fine and has never been apart. That Briggs with the diaphragm carb is a real runner. I have lent it to friends and used it on my garden. This was the best $147.00 I ever spent. I am really enjoying you rehab its big brother.
Steve great video!! My dad gave me a snapper rider said he thought the motor was locked up. Took it back to Texas to my home and sure enough it was a rusty fly wheel!! Cleaned it up and it started right up!! I called my dad and asked him if wanted back and he just laughed and said no I just bought a new one 😂 thanks for the video.
That is awesome!
Yes it will run! It very nice that you walk us through your troubleshooting thoughts. I really enjoy watching your small engine videos!
Thank you very much!
Great to see this vintage machine being fixed. Nice job Steve 👍🇮🇪
Thanks 👍
A similar project is nagging my agenda. Very helpful to have an instructor who knows his stuff. Thanks, Steve!
Great to hear!
Would absolutely love to see a series on this or any other big job repairs you might have. Or even better yet I know you might not have time for it but make a whole video of you repairing something from start to finish. Your videos aren’t long enough at all. I absolutely enjoy watching every single one of your videos and I wish that they were longer. Maybe if you are able to make a longer video covering more of the issues and fixing them. I know it’s a ton of work doing these videos so I totally get it if you don’t do longer videos. Just love watching them. Your videos are the best small engine repair videos on here. You make it so easy for people to understand what you are doing and I love that about your videos
This is life for most of us when picking up stuff.thats the joy of putting it to use again
Right on
I have an old 3.3hp Mercury Boat Motor, I have not used it in over 30 years... Put away wet with fuel/oil mix. Now that I'm old and got some free time, I guess I should do something like the project you are doing. and get it working again (maybe).
I have a Merc 2.2 outboard that hadn’t run in ten years. 360 tiller, made by Tohatsu. Cleaned carb and it ran well. Super light 2 stroke. 🇨🇦
Steve does great work and I love his helpful tips... but you can combine some of these videos into at least a beer’s 🍺 worth. Stella Artois deserves more than a 6 minute video to enjoy!
Noted!
This video help get mine going. Not sure how old it is but it's old. Cleaned the plug and
Put oil and pb blaster on the piston and valves, and within 5 minutes, it was free.. Thanks, Steve!!
You're Welcome...
Oh man, the memories. I had one even older (old enough it needed the Antique Engines manual from Briggs...), think I spent probably tens of hours on it fixing it and painting it, tilled the garden once, then it made a bad sound, I decided it probably threw the rod, and I gave it away...
You should see some of the videos by Machinery Restorer on RUclips. He's a Brit, but mostly restores old Briggs powered stuff. I've seen so many ignition modules rust-welded to the flywheel, it no longer surprises me 😁 I'm sure you'll get this running.
Fortunately, while my leaf vac 5HP Briggs wasn't in awesome shape, it did work when I bought it, so lots of cleaning and some carb parts (plus replacement governor parts for the ones I lost - the hazard of doing these things over multiple weekends) and it runs pretty well now. Even if I'm inexplicably terrified of accidentally over-speeding it and having it blow up in my face. (Yes, I have the right governor linkage in an envelope here, new old stock, ready to install this spring) Turns out the horrible noise a dirty starter clutch makes, is really quite anxiety provoking even once I cleaned it out....
I’ve been following you for about a year now. You’re vids are really good, going through that tiller could made the best educational series EVER! Kudos!!
Awesome, thank you!
A series on this Briggs is a great idea.The Briggs is a good engine if taken care of properly, which this one has not. It will be good to see this one running strong again!👍
Fingers crossed!
Hi Steve,
I was so excited when I saw the video on this tiller, as I have 2 of them both seized up.
One of the tillers is one that my dad bought new in 1965, and the the other is a 1975 model that I
acquired some time ago. I want to get both of them running. Looking forward to seeing the series on
getting yours running!
P.S. loved the tip for your penetrating fluid!
Thank You...
An old 5 hp Briggs? Of course it will run! Keep it up Steve, this is interesting content.
Thanks 👍
I got one in similar condition running about 5 years back...and I am NOT good with engines...all I did was scour RUclips for tear-down videos and kept playing until it worked .
I KNOW you can do it, Steve, and YES it's worth it because you have a knack for cutting to the chase with common sense. Fixing that Tiller will help a LOT of people fix theirs and understand that you shouldn't give up...and just throw things away.
Great point!
I’m fixing to start working on a tiller just like this and bring it back to life… Wish me luck…😂
Simplest engine on the planet, Steve can do it easy
Thank You...
I used the 50/50 penetrating oil and it worked great. The only problem is if you don't use it fast enough, it will gel over time. For someone like Steve, it's a good deal. For most of us, a can of PB Blaster will last for a few years.
Right on Joey!
Steve, a man of your calibration could get anything to run.
Thank You...
I love the enthusiasm and ‘can do’ . 😊
We have a few of those engines ( and rust) here in Britain too !
I'm amazed that you didn't have it fix in this Video, your pretty quick. A little briggs love and it is gonna run.
Fingers crossed!
Engine + Steve = Running. Looking forward to this series also.
Thank You...
Always enjoy all your podcasts. Another excellent homemade penetrating oil is 2/3 ATF and 1/3 Kerosene.
My friend in the oil patch gave me that one and if works really well!!!
GREAT video...learning a lot! ONE step at a time. THANK YOU STEVE!!
Glad to help
We’re trying to get my Papaw’s tiller up and going for the season, but he’s been dead for about a decade and the tiller has been sitting ever since.
Best I’ve figured is it’s a mid-late ‘90s Poulan Pro model with a seized B&S 130202-3273. I’d like to get it going again. In the meantime, my gal went ahead and picked us up a new Predator 6.5hp motor to try and pop on this week. I’m saving this series to watch when I do get to refurbishing the B&S.
There are plenty of "will it run?' videos on RUclips. But, there's only one Steve! Please do a series and more if you wish. My 1989 Toro/Tecumseh started burning oil and losing compression at age 27. After being told I couldn't get parts, just go to a box store and buy a cheap mower, only to be disappointed with the cheap mowers, I found a rebuild video series on that engine that inspired me to rebuild it as a complete novice. Compression returned and 5 years later it runs like new. It was a fun challenge, if not particularly cost effective. Yes Steve, these types of series are great.
Thank You...
Monetarily, it's not worth it. Yet I still fix them. Something about getting that old junk to run.
I'm working on a 1968 John Deere 110 lawn tractor at the moment. Everything "WAS" seized. The points pin, that goes in and out to operate the points was broken in the middle. I made another one and now have spark. 20 years since this thing ran!! I love it!! ;-]
Awesome idea ! It’s enjoyable to take something that’s seems like junk and make it work again . Plus I enjoy watching your videos I’ve learned so much from you . Thanks Steve!
Thanks 👍
If you can get that to run you're a genius Steve
Great Steve, this is the sort of thing I have to deal with now and again. So it's great to see how someone with your knowledge will be tackling it.
You'll get it going, for sure.
Thank You...
@Austin Davenport - Yeah right, I knew that.
You have a great start and I have had many in this state and the 50/50 mix is the best, been using it on engines since the 70's, GITER Done!👍👍
Thanks for sharing
Nice one, Steve.
Good to hear you speak your overall plan and how it can change as you progress. Good mechanics who are also good teachers are hard to come by. I've been lucky to have known a few.
Very logical.
Well said!
I like it. For someone like me that hasn't done any small engine repair, this will be a good series and educational. Thanks.
You bet
The same tiller my grandfather had. Looking forward to following along with this series.
Right on
Steve I have two Sears st16s that I plow snow with here in Woodstock Ontario,and this is the old stuff I love.I am a new subscriber and want to thank you for all you do.You have helped me make it through this covid nonsense.
Awesome! Thank you!
You taught me a lot have a older Weedeater Tiller that I need to work on … Thank You very much
Glad to help
I just bought an old rototiller on marketplace with the same engine and carb about a month ago. It hasn't been run in 20 years. On mine the starter is on the front rather than the side. The air cleaner disintegrated in my hand also.
A little gas in the carb and she did fire up though. Now just clean up.
I'll be following along your journey!
Penticton BC.
Cool! Good luck...
Thank you Steve! You give us all ideas to try before we give up and toss out the older equipment!
You're Welcome...
So much work to do. Thanks for the video Steve.
No problem 👍
I too was 6 years old when that was manufactured.
Ofcoarse it will run. Keep putting penetrating oil on the exhaust valve while turning it over and tapping on the valve. A few turns and it'll be good. Then some penetrating oil on the starter clutch. Clamp vicegrips on it and jerk it back and forth. It should statr moving a bit. Keep adding oil and moving it. It will likely work like new rather quickly. You'll have to do the same with the choke. And clean up the carb & tank. Replace the diaphragm. Then after you give it a new condenser , points , spark plug., and clean oil , it will fire right up. However you should give some love to that recoil. If not it will let you know about it. And if you are lucky the gears wont be stripped out and you will actually be able to till some dirt.
1976 was a good year. Things were built to last. I'm sure you can reanimate this beast, mate!
I have a 73and 74 Sears st16 and plow snow with both of them.They are beasts.They were certainly built to last.
Thank You...
Yaaa boay! Got a waterpump with same vintage era engine
Great lesson!
Thanks! 😃
Learn so much from Steve. Thanks
Very welcome
SteveO, you can fix anything my friend, and you will get it running like new again!!! 😁👍👍
Take care buddy, Jay OUT...
Thanks 👍
Great job Steve
Thank You...
You can do it, Steve!! Good to see you again. I have a 2 HP Briggs in the garage I should bring back to life as well!
Go for it!
Way cool Steve! I especially like the results of your homemade penetrating fluid.
Thank you!
I love seeing videos on engines that have sat for a long time especially seized up crusty engines!
Right on
Stella will help Steve through this! Great videos!
I hope so!
Steve, hope all is well, been waiting for another video to see this tiller run!
Outdoor storage with or without a roof over the equipment is a great premature killer of lawn and garden equipment. I can tell this one was allowed to rust in peace.
Excellent video. I'm watching all the others. This is actually excfiting.
Right on Buddy! Thank You...
I loved this series!
Thank You...
Love your work Steve. Looking forward to the clutch reconditioning video as my son had problems with his. 👍🇦🇺
I'm working on it
Thanks for this series!
My pleasure!
Very interesting. Good to watch. Thanks Steve.
You're Welcome...
Perfect timing. I just brought home an 8 hp I/C Powermate generator that was seized up from 1986. Got the starter and head off, and she spins freely. Cylinder looks great. Need to adjust valve lash and put it back together, then test for spark and fuel.
When you're ready to start it , I recommend getting the generator part nice and warm with a fan heater or similar , especially if you are in a damp area . If there's any moisture in there , it can wreck the generator or its black box controller very quickly . Dry is good :-)
Wow, that spark plug is a keeper! It looks salvageable Steve, we have faith in you. This will be fun to watch.
Right on Tony! Thank You...
Yes let’s see this rebuilt. I have a very similar carb and I only get it running with Choke on. Waiting anxiously
Stay tuned....
Yu'll get it running! If you can't, no one else can! -- Luv the Penetrating Concoction. Made a batch myself and it really does work great!
Thank You...
Look forward to the series. I’ll likely learn something to apply to my 11HP B&S in my tractor. Yes, Stella is a good choice.
Thank You...
Looking forward to seeing this 52-part series!
Great video Steve, looking forward to the series on this old tiller! She'll run, those old Briggs engines will run forever!
Thanks 👍
love the series
Thank You...
I’m looking forward to this project Steve. Can’t wait for the next video.
You and me both!
never a doubt. I await the next installment with great anticipation
Right on Buddy!
That is some "project". Looks like fun. Looking forward to the future videos. Amazing that there is a replacement carb for a machine as old as me. Awesome
Thank you!
Absolutely!
You're the man! I know you can fix it for sure! I know where a previous red model is at. Have fun with it!
Thank You...
Love this content. Please keep it up!
I don’t mind long videos...1 video on the entire project would be nice as well!
Thanks!
Noted!
Thank you for the video
You're welcome
Nice old machine.Thank you for sharing
Thanks for watching
Thank you!!!
Welcome!
Really enjoy your videos Steve.
Thanks 👍
This is absolutely awesome!! Would love to see a one component at a time series of videos around this old B&S
Coming soon!
Thanks. I like the series idea.
More to come!
Steve: A series of videos on getting this old machine up and running sounds like a great idea to me, looking forward to the next one already.
Coming soon!
Nice going Steve. A man gave me an old Montgomery Ward tiller for scrap, The carb was a night mare. But love a challenge. took my brother and me about a week , but have used it for two garden season's now. You're good Steve, Enjoy watching your Videos. Old Hill Billy from N.C.
Nice work!
Great video!!
Thanks!
I think it will run. Looking forward to the next video. I love old Briggs and Stratton motors.
Thank You...
love your channel. And yes, you will get it to run. After being a subscriber to mustie1 and watching what he brings back to life, im sure you're going to get this up and running in no time
Awesome! Thank you!
I like this project going forward Steve.
Thank You...
have the same one with the same problems, will be following this
Right on
Morning Steve,
Surprised you didn't get to the saloon till the end of segment.
Very patient, didn't dig into engine immediately, great self control.👍
I really wanna see thos machine back in life...thx for the videos :)
You and me both!
I'd tackle the stuck exhaust valve before worrying about spark or the starter clutch, but I know you will get it all sorted out, Steve! Cheers!
Fingers crossed!
I look forward to more videos on this unit!
Coming soon!
great video looking forward to the next
Thanks 👍
Those old brigs engines are great
Agreed!
These rebuilds are the best viewing...
Right on buddy! Thank You...
Super easy to get it to run. I picked up a generator that had a frozen piston do to a ton of water in the gas tank. Pulled out the spark plug sprayed some wd-40 in and slowly got it moving. A ton of water and rust came out. Flushed out the tank and carb and runs like a champ. Changed the oil and it is good to go.
Right on
Restoring old garbage find motors like this would be an awesome mini series videos..
That's the plan!
