Hi from the Uk to. Love the videos keep um coming👍 🇬🇧 Mark out.
Thank you for your channel. Watch how fix a Honda carb. You save me a lot of money and time.
Next thing is this old snowblower I was given.
100psi? You kidding. That thing will run like a champ!
Fingers crossed!
absolutely correct
Iv had them.run well below that
@@grandmasmalibu I had one run at 30 psi one time
was awesome having that virtual beer with you Steve!
Yes it was!
The respect you two show one another and knowledge combined, makes anything repairable and this stuff enjoyable and a joy to watch and do. You both do the best job out there on RUclips on small engine repair. Great job men!!!
@@brianb5779 Thanks Brian, Steve treats me good!
Came across the same problem with a Honda 160 engine the other day. Owner thought it was junk. Mower sat untouched for a few years. My guess is the cam sat with that intake valve open for that time span.
I think it’ll definitely run on 90 psi. Ideally it should be higher, but for its age, thats a respectable number.
Right on
90 psi, is more than enough compression for a Briggs to start.
They have a mild release so 90psi ample, they'll run at 60-70
I'm learning more watching you than the small engine class I took at the community College! I can't wait for the next video!
Great to hear!
Are you kidding me? A hell of a lot more times 10!
I can't tell you how many times I passed on older, neglected engines. I'm enjoying this series.
Thank You...
Steve, this series is great. I clicked on this faster then that compression gauge needle shot up.
Right on
Love it. It’s like being in the shop, having a beer with your pal and fiddling around with small engines. Great job Steve!🍻
Thanks 👍
I would think it's not until roughly 70 PSI that you'll have issues, 90 ish PSI, you are golden!
Right on
I agree! I'm also an old school Briggs fan that started working on small engines a lot as a teenager back in the 1970's. I even spent my grass cutting money on the Foley Belsaw small engine repair correspondence course that used to be advertised in all of the Popular Mechanics magazines back then. I still have the certificates/diplomas framed and hanging on my garage wall. I made more than enough money to recoup the cost of it. It helped me to become a good auto mechanic and race engine builder too because of learning all of the basic principles for engine performance. I also used to soup up the Briggs 5 HP racing go kart engines for a neighbor. His son won a lot of trophies with them! That stuff was fun!
Awesome series. Let's dive deep into that Briggs & Stratton.
thanks for teaching me another way to clean the valves seat so, I don't have to remove them, thanks again Master!
Love these multi part videos! Great content Steve-0!
More to come!
Stay tuned for the next episode of Steve makes it look easy!
@@Leonardokite Yes! He's done this a few thousand times!
Great series. Please wear eye protection when grinding Steve. I lost my vision in my left eye a few months back.....It is a real EYE OPENER.
Just started watching your videos. Have a Toro quarantined to start that hasn't ran in 5 years. Watched a couple of your videos and I got the darn thing running. Thank you
Glad to help
Great series, Steve. If you have the time, it would be interesting to see the change in compression after replacing the rings and lapping the valves.
Great suggestion!
@@StevesSmallEngineSaloon but first, a leak down test?
100 PSI is EXCELLENT! The cylinder walls look smooth as glass!
Right on
Yes! Not a scratch on it!
A “smooth as glass” jug isn’t all that desirable. I would hone that jug to get that “cross hatch pattern”, for better oil adhesion.
@@charleseck3941 the cross hatch is for breaking in the rings and helping them to take shape with the cylinder wall to seal. That motor is as broken in as it gets.
@@joefudd I disagree Joe. The cross hatch pattern allows for a very thin layer of oil to remain on the cylinder, for the next piston/ring pass. The micro grooves of the cross hatch hold oil in place, thereby allowing the oil to decrease friction, and therefore wear.
A “glassy” cylinder wears faster than a properly honed cylinder because of the retained oil in the hone grooves, as well as the decreased surface area of contact between the rings and the cylinder wall.
Just acquired a National triplex mower fitted with a Briggs 8hp engine. I know nothing about these engines. Your website has been very helpful. Many thanks from England 🏴
Thanks Mate!
Steve love you I appreciate everything you do I learned so much watching all your videos keep it up I will be paying attention
I appreciate that
I've done sm engines for 40 years, B&S told me if it had enough compression to blow you thumb off the spark plug hole, it was enough--- never did care for that explanation-- gud job 😁👍🇺🇸
Thanks for sharing
Thanks Steve. Enjoying watching your progress on the roto-tiller.
More to come!
Besides shooting. Another hobby of mine is tinkering with small engines. With ammo gone and too expensive I am tinkering more. Glad I found this channel
Right on
Cannot beat the ATF and acetone mix...as always excellent series.
Thank you!
Those two main ingredients are the basis of a concoction commonly referred to as Ed's Red (red for obvious reasons), which is a homemade gun cleaner and bore solvent used by a great many people to clean rifles and pistols, especially if they are of the extremely dirty and greasy surplus type.
Appreciate your videos Steve. I'm going to be referring to your videos when I've got mine apart, but mine seems to be less neglected. I found it on the side of the road on trash day. People just don't want to fix anything today. It's older than I am, and it's always a fun moment when an engine comes to life again.
Thank You...
I like that Modelo also. In Cancun, the locals avoided Corona like the plague saying it was "panther piss" and got me started on Modelo Especial. That was 30 years ago and I still like it today once in a while
Right on
I don't have any small engines to fix but I'm really enjoying this!
Thank You...
I have never been so intrigued by a series, but find that I can’t wait for the next video. Steve this is just so cool!! Thank you for the entertainment AND the knowledge you are sharing!
Steve is like one of those cool guys that you know from the neighborhood that you'd always invite over to a cook out or garage band jam/beer party! And he'd do the same whenever he has them!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Steve you should be getting paid from every vocational high school in North America. You are an instructor. I can’t help but hang on every word. Thank you for what your videos.
Wow, thanks
@@StevesSmallEngineSaloon Chris is totally correct.
Love the content Steve. Looking forward to the next instalment .
More to come!
Top job Steve, we’re all learning great things from you, thanks so much 👌👍👏
Glad to hear it
I love your channel,your personality and the fact that you know exactly what you're doing. That thing will run after you get fuel and spark. I promise. Thanks Steve
I appreciate that!
Yes.... great idea to run it as a series...👍
Great series , lap the valves so people see how to do it and it would be interesting to see if it raised the compression by much after you have sorted the spark out.
yes that machine will kick, bump, thump, and till at 90 psi - Bravo! Encore!
great video series brother ... the bolt tightening pattern is interesting and great thanks
Glad you enjoyed it
Briggs & Stratton recommends turning the crankshaft backwards to arrive at the correct compression since the intake lobe has an extra duration of slight lift at the end of the intake event, beginning of the compression stroke. This bleeds off some compression to make it easier to crank at slow speeds. Cranking it backwards allows full compression to be accomplished.
Hey Steve, this is a very thoughtful way to do an educational video. It is fun and functional, good work.
Thanks so much!
Kinda funny you did this video so recently, I just found a stuck intake valve in my tiller yesterday! Thanks!
Glad I could help!
Steve, keep the series going. Thanks
You're Welcome...
Yeah Steve I think it'll run just fine especially that you're working on it great video looking forward to your next👍
Hope so!
Working on a Briggs tiller now. Thanks for the info!
Good luck!
Just started working on an old Sears shredder and bagger, fun stuff👍🏻you rock, keep up the great work!
Thanks! Will do!
he fixes engines with such ease. when Im working on a snowblower Briggs, im bent over, sweat dripping, im dropping stuff, losing bolts, breaking parts, cant find the right drill bit or tool size or socket. Im cursing up a storm cutting myself swearing. he's chilllllllll
can you do a video on how to test an ignition coil with a multi meter? and what the values should read? Also how to put back together a STIHL string trimmer 45. That damn throttle trigger and handle is killing me I cant get the palstic housing to click together. ANd I cant figure out how to get the trigger and lock set, together linked with springs??
I have enjoyed this series! Super simple and common sense.
Great to hear!
I think once you run the machine after the heat and expansion on the rings, and the new oil temp is up, the compression will come be higher. Throughout the video, you gave us some clarity on different point of the information.
Right on Steve! Finding this really helpful!
Awesome, thank you!
Hi from the Uk 🇬🇧 love the videos keep um coming Mark out
Thanks! Will do!
Thanks For The Series ..Reminds Me When I Was 13 or 14 Learning On My Own...Fooling With These Engines...Thanks For The Momories Steve...Love Your Videos
Our pleasure!
I got one of those running with 35psi. she was smokey, but she ran all to happy.
Cool!
Good one Steve 👍
Thank You...
I just had a 5hp Tecumseh snowblower that would run but fail under load, anything more than an inch. Turned out that it only had 45 pounds of compression. Had a valve with no gap so i did a valve job and ground it down and lapped both of them. Got it back together and it made 95 pounds and it blows snow pretty good, it's just not a spring chicken anymore but like me it gets the job done.
Nice video, i like your content as always so keep em coming.
Thank You...
Fun to watch it all come together, excited to see the completion.
Thank You...
Man who Love Mower and Beer is Good Man!!
Right on
They don’t make motor or engines like that.Thank you Steve for sharing have a great weekend.
You too
loving the series, it'll be sweet to hear it running again
Right on
What a treasure! Thank you Steve
My pleasure!
i’d like to see more repairs and tuning on a honda gx style engine, but still good video i appreciate your videos i learn a bit more about small engines each video you upload.
Noted!
Another good one Steve I really like this series. 90psi, send it, let it rip.
Thank You...
Steve, love these videos, learned a lot so far!
Glad to hear it!
Enjoy your videos. Thanks!
Glad you like them!
Steve's small engine keep them coming m8 very helpful content
Thanks, will do!
@@StevesSmallEngineSaloon i love a long shot and nowt better when you hear that engine roar
Ok so the exhaust valve is always smaller ? I am learning every video Steve thanks ! Can't wait for the next one .
Oh yeah!! It's gonna run great 👍🏻
Thank You...
Great video, wery good explained tight ening sequence
Thank you!
Great video Steve, I think it'll run, can't wait for the next video!
Coming up in a few hours!
Steve that Modelo is the cat s meow like always great video thanks..
Thanks 👍
For someone who is Canadian...you sure love robbing the English language.
“How To Free-er A Stuck Exhaust Valve” 🙃
Love how you labeled the torque sequence! Very important and always overlooked! 🤙🏻🔧🇺🇸🦅
🤓
You definitely lucked out on that stuck valve! May be a little smoky but it'll run with that compression.
I hope so
I think your compression is ok and for spark one thing is to Emery the magnet on the flywheel to get the rust off of it. Looking forward to the next episode!👍
David Schlecht Magnetic forces don't work through a layer of iron oxide? That's news to me.
It's gonna run like a champ
Thank You...
Yet another amazing video Steve
Thank You...
You seriously are really fun to watch, you break everything down so everyone can understand
That is a nice tip and I have never had to adjust any valves, but will know how to do it thanks to your tip, Steve. I wish you a great weekend and a Blessed one.
My Dad turned me onto your videos. And im hooked lol good shit
Awesome!
It will run if everything else is ok.
Cheers Rory
Right on
Great series..lots of knowledge
Glad you think so!
It will definitely run with 90 psi. Nice clean job on the valve's 🔧👍
Thank you!
Great video as usual Steve, can't wait for the next one!!
Coming soon!
Great video series Steve! I think it will run.
Hope so!
Great video Steve 👍
Thanks 👍
It will run marvelous , along with good spark and a good carb and fresh oil and gas you will be tilling in no time .
Hope so!
Good stuff mate, can’t wait for the next one Steve, cheers from Australia 🇦🇺
Thanks 👍
Steve, I love your videos. I find them really helpful for my piddling around with lawn mowers and generators. Keep the videos coming and thanks for all the expertise and detail you are sharing.
I did however cringe a little when I saw you using the wire wheels with no eye protection. That may have been something I would have done as a younger man but now a days I am a lot more cautious and concerned about my safety. Take care
Actually he is pretty safe in this particular instance since he is using a very very low RPM drill in lieu of a high speed air or electric die grinder or angle grinder which can (and does) launch individual wire strands into low earth orbits or if you're unlucky, it will launch them with enough force to penetrate clothing and the first layer of the epidermis. The angle of the wheel is also something to be noted, since the danger area is where your sensitive body parts are in-line with the whirring end of the wire brush. Don't gaze into that abyss unless you are wearing eyepro. 😵
I had the same thing happening with a tecumseh last month. It was under the deck unused for 10 years and I wanted to repurpose it for a 12v generator. Pulled the head sprayed with PBB and knocked the valve down with a mallet, repeated for three days until it was free. New carb, head gasket and changed the oil. Now it runs like a Hot Damn!
My wife and kids shake their heads when I wear your Tee Shirt, but they just don't know. Thanks for the video!
Right on buddy! You're Welcome...
Hi Steve, concerning the measured compression, I think it is enough for start and run, but not enough for sufficient power. Greetings from Czech rep. small engine repair!
Thanks for the info!
Steve : I sold this exactl triller last year for $125.00 but it had been shop keep all its life and it ran great when I sold it . There bulletproof old Briggs engines . No more hours than they get used , it looked old but it got a good home to go too .
Right on
Oh yeah, it'll run!
Had a Snapper tiller with same motor, 3 year old could start it!
Oh wow!
I like the series Steve. Thanks
You're Welcome...
Another great video from the master
I appreciate that
Great videos! Keep them coming, 90 psi will fire. GITER DONE!👍👍👍
Thanks! Will do!
@@StevesSmallEngineSaloon I used to love working in Port Alberni on the W. Side of the Island for Tommy Hertel, what a great dude! He has a pork processing plant and he actually built the fountain in the town square!👍👍
Love to see a valve lapping demo please.
ill second that. did it in high school but that was 20yrs ago and now i can barely remember the process.
Thanks Steve the videos are a great help, I'm rebuilding a old brigg and stratton 2.5hp and need all the help I can get, that electronic ignition is the way to go. I'm finding it hard to get parts. Regards Terry from Australia 🇦🇺
Great job Steve.
Thank You...
Can you show us the inner workings of the valve assembly, I have never seen inside one of those small engines, just big stuff like Chevy V8s , I want to learn. Thank you 😊
Personally I would replace the rings and lap the valves, also checking the stems for wear and warp. Take care and stay safe, Mike
Right on
Simply amazing and well done!
Thank You...
No worries Steve, you almost always get the thumbs up.
Hey, have you ever tried Goose Island IPA? Never heard of it till this weekend, and it's different, very refreshing. Has strong notes of grapefruit.
Nice video steve👍you never disappoint!
Thanks 👍
I've got an edger with a 2hp Briggs and exhaust valve is sticking. So I mixed up some acetone and ATF and got to work and the valve already starting to move a lot better. It was only 40 psi compression and now up to 75. I'm waiting on a few parts so gonna keep at it for a couple more days and hopefully for the first time in over 5 years, I'll get her running!
Good luck!
@@StevesSmallEngineSaloon It runs!! Yeah it runs like it's brand new again!! Thanks for your video!
This video series is very nice I like it steve
Thank You...
Go forward Steve great videos so far
Thanks 👍
Now that was a interesting video and I think most definitely that motor will start.
Thank You...
