/ @ajrestoration Welcome back, Ladies and Gentlemen!
This is the full version of the 3hp Dirty 3hp Briggs & Stratton engine for those who have not seen it yet.
I used this small engine to test the small compressor in my previous restoration. I had a choice between this one and the Honda motor. This had to be split into two parts due to the length of the video and I am also waiting for parts to arrive (the carburetor diaphragm) In the meantime please enjoy part one of the project.
I hope you enjoy the video.
If you have any suggestions for improvement, or compliments share them below!
Please leave a like if you did like the video, please subscribe and feel free to comment your thoughts and as always thank you for watching.
My other channel for fun.

Thanks so much for the great video. I just picked up a 1979 B&S 3hp engine. Looking forward to tinkering with it.
Real man of genius!!
A beautiful resto what a pretty little engine that is now, well done great job
Nice, I like the little rotation it did on its own while it was running lol
YES! It was almost as if the engine decided to take a bow.
Awesome, always love when there is a new long video on a Saturday afternoon :)
Glad you like them!
Fantastic job. I like the white paint job.
Thank you so much!
Right....the paint scheme is great!
The time and dedicationIt must have taken to film this! Thanks!!!
Hello AJ beautiful restoration good job well done mister
Beautiful motor, would be proud to have it on anything I own.
Really great work.
Very nice refurb job!
Very good job from France
good job, Tks for your sharing,I looking fwd next,
Beautiful job 👏
Thank you! 😊
You did not eyeball the point gap. You used your 'calibrated' eye to set the gap! 😁
Exactly! haha
Like taryl says, it's not the space shuttle.
@@RockymountainRobert true, but he'll still properly ajust the valves and points gaps.
Very good restoration 👍👍👍Thank you for sharing. Be safe🇨🇦
great resto bud
Good video,nice little R&R on the Briggs and Stratton motor,keep doing what your doing and carry on.😎😎😎👍👍👍
Simply outstanding work! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you very much!
Excellent restoration
As long as the engine is running you don't need the little turntable.
Another excellent restoration. Thank you for sharing !
Super travail très clean bravo,Comme l’atelier lui aussi très clean 👍 ose plus utiliser
Excellent work.
Excellent work fella’! Love your channel!👍👍👍
Such an amazing job as always!
A wow beautiful awesome job
I think you used the eagle eye to set the points gap, very nicely done mate.
Nice job 👍
Nice job. Runs well.
Bom trabalho, bela execução 👏👏👏 a de ser respeitado, PARABÉNS, 👍👏👍👏👏👏
Very nicely done 👍
très très belle restauration ,j'ai exactement le même moteur monté sur un motoculteur et j'apprecie le travail d'orfevre que vous avez realisé
Love these!!!!
Parts for the other coming in soon??
I bought a second-hand Briggs and Stratton rototiller/cultivator back in the '90s, every end of the season I would run the carb dry and store the machine in a small shed on the allotment covered with an old carpet,25 years later I sold it to a young chap because my back is just not up to planting potatoes anymore ..NOT once in over 25 years did that little machine not start after the second or third pull, there was one year were I had broken my leg and it had sat in the shed for 12 months, new petrol, oil check .... first go, brrr....... second brrr.... number three BROOOOOMMM,these motors just keep going and going,I made sure the young chap knows the laws about keeping a carb clean and I hope he has many a good harvest
Nice comment derek. I've never had a B&S engine let me down. But Tecumseh and Honda have both broken down on me.
Nice job.
Bravo! amazing!
Great restoration as usual what do you do with all these little engines once you've done with them?
Great well gedaan 👌
Klink goed🤠
Excelente 👏👏👏
le cout de cette restauration S.V.P.
I remember my old go-kart being powered by one of these suckers. over 20 years of use and that engine never died. it was a wonderful restoration, although I would have chosen the original black color.
20 years you say? that is a good time!
@@AJRestoration According to legend, the Briggs and Stratton engine was designed so perfectly, it cannot be destroyed. My engine in particular, against all logic or reason, ran without motor oil... And it still held it's power!
@@LordQuintix My riding mower has a 11 hp Briggs and Stratton engine from an 80s Snapper rear engine, and it slowly leaks fuel and oil, but it won't stop running. I also have a 80s Homelite tiller with a 3 hp Briggs and it runs on starting fluid, but once I rebuild the carburetor, it should run like new!
You should really follow the Briggs manual for reassembly, for the torque sequences on the side cover and cylinder head (you typically criss cross the bolts to tighten) and use a torque wrench
Anytime I polish or clean the metal I finish with clear coat to prevent new oxidation.
Nice
Beautiful craftsmanship. I would use a molybdenum (Moly) based engine assembly lubrication to protect the labor you invested.
Not needed if you fire it up right away.
Wow 💥 I'm doing one identical' to yours right now in my garage .... Mine hasnt got that cool little muffler tho' just a piece of 3/4 pipe. Where did you get those vintage' looking lables?
Thank you buddy, those mufflers can probably be bought from eBay. I had to make my own labels since most eBay sellers do not ship to my country.
Fantastic video! I recently reworked the vertical drive version of this exact same engine, but my results were nowhere near as beautiful as yours. I need to convince my wife that I need a powder coat setup lol. I was wondering if you could tell me where you got the replacement stickers, as I have had no luck finding them.
Should have fixed the dent on the blower cover! You can tap it out with a round ended punch or use Bondo or even JB Weld.
Did measure the air gap with page of paper, the flywheel should in first then the magneto.
No, as long as the flywheel does not hit the coil you are good to go. I have a 5hp briggs that has a air gap as big as it can be and its been running like that for 3 years and no issues.
... молодец парень!-, отличная получилась реставрация, выглядит как будто новый!-, только я такого двигателя ещё не видел -, какая-то странная конструкция, да и карбюратор то-же не знакомый, для чего этот двигатель нужен, где он работал?-, здоровья тебе и удачи во всём, новых творческих успехов и хорошего настроения 👍👍👍🤓🛠️🔩⚙️🔗🦾👌🆗🇷🇺👈🤝💥🔥!!!
Do you have a manual you followed? I’m going to do my first restore on this same engine. I could follow you step by step but I think I’d learn more with a manual.
I have an old Briggs & Stratton engine to be restored. It is attached to an old tiller which also needs to be restored. It worked great for decades before its age caught up with it.
Do it bro! Garden tillers usually have very low hours on them and they probably just need a little bit of attention and a carb kit is always a good idea because stale fuel always mucks things up.
Just curious...Did you check the valve lash and points gap when you assembled this engine? Thanks.
Great work dear, but why you not dent the cover,,, the one corner is dent. Overall great work. Keep it up
Other than being a little dirty, was there anything wrong with this engine initially?
On mine, one cam follower is slightly longer than the other. Are they always like that or are they selectively fitted to get the right valve clearance?
How much oil does it take? I have one for my leaf blower and I'm trying to change the oil, can't find any info on it. Thanks!
drain all the old oil, and then fill up until it's almost pouring out of the fill tube. That is the correct level.
What kind of oil did you use?
HI, good job... i have a one question, were are you take spare parts for the engine, and the ignition coil?
we are from Ukraine
eBay has a lot of spares.
Now find a project to use it on👍😎
do you have a part number for the air filter for this briggs?
Where do you get your replacement parts from? Especially the stickers?
I have personal contacts close to me that regullarly sell parts and I get the stickers printed profesionally!
У меня точно такой! Как он называется,модель,сколько сил,где запчасти брать ,карбюратор где взять,ремкомплект?
Where were you able to purchase the decals?
seems to be having trouble operating the drill.
❤
where do you get the decal from. looking for some to replace on my 2hp
I redesigned them myself and then had them printed by a local company.
Did you take a break on the Old Suffolk?
Still waiting for parts to arrive unfortunately. ETA for parts is Monday.
Do you know the engine head torque settings please?
i can hear your bridhing 🥰
Why mess with Points? Eeesh. Where's the valve clearances? Did you refinish cylinder wall?
Yes...but, it's a matter of personal preference. But I would have converted to electronic myself.
i would never use impact tools on that stuff.. just saying 😜
hi there where can i find those original briggs stickers please ? thank you
New style.

Old style.

I had to remake my own since where I live none of these ebay sellers ship to.
@@AJRestoration oh great, thank you for the informations
Do you have a use for it yet?
Where did u buy the bolts from
Its the original bolts that I cleaned up and electroplated to give them the factory finish.
@AJRestoration is electro plating hard can this ve done at home
@@AJRestoration And...a damn fine job you did too!
Where on earth did you find an engine with so few running hours? The only wear was to the paint job! The insides of the engine was still brand new!
I know, this engine is still in almost perfect condition inside. I still start it up every now and then. Starts up first pull every time.
A lot of them are like that! Keep looking, the best low hours engine would be a garden tiller engine. Only used once a season for an hour(?) and sometimes not even that. Lots of smaller front tine tillers use 3HP
Have I missed something? What happened to that other mower?
Still waiting for parts to arrive unfortunately. ETA for parts is Monday.
@@AJRestoration thanks, thought there was a glitch in the matrix. I even looked at you page to see if I missed it.
No haha I just ordered the parts and it takes longer than expected to arrive.
NAAND AJ. ek kan maar net sê pragtige werk
Baie baie dankie Tom!
👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️😎😎😎
Does your wife know your using her oven?
You can’t enamel the engine it self.
You can enamel the engine exterior with special engine enamel paint.
Do you even own an impact
I have a spanner and a hammer. Its called the spammer. same thing as a impact it just uses elbow grease and rarely breaks. ;-)
not sure why you rebuilt it,,, did not look very worn, just a bit old and the paint was chipped.
Its fun.
@@AJRestoration understand, used to rebuild some myself.
@@AJRestoration Of Course! and why do you need a reason anyway?!?!
Science content......anyone know why the engine is rotating doing it's dance clockwise on the table
Probably something to do with the rotation of the flywheel and the vibrations.
@@AJRestoration
I think you're right 👍🏿
Máy này là máy cũ được mông lại cũng như mới
Get an ultrasonic cleaner bro. Makes no sense going low tech when cleaning the bolts at 19:20, esp after going high tech with the sandblasting and parts washer. 🤔
