Hello! I understand that many of my viewers find this "sped-up" video format unappealing. It was a failed experiment. Please consider watching the full length video here... ruclips.net/video/BV8-emyzpUk/видео.html Thank you very much for supporting the my channel, I appreciate all of the positive feedback!
Thank goodness for that. It's speeded up too much and the sound track should have been dumped for the high speed parts, it's just annoying when it's left.
I am a lot older than you Mike. I do not mind you talking about your considerations while taking an engine apart in regular speed. I realize why you had to destructively remove the shive. Probably the least destructive method and I am pretty sure you can get a pretty exact reproduction if needed. The inside of this motor could have been much worse and while the crank rod bearing may look a bit rough I think if you emery paper both it will run enough for shows just not grinding corn all day.
Love the videos, please reconsider the fast forwarding all the time. I would much rather run the video at higher speed when I choose and hear your musings as you are working. Appreciate your efforts
I don't really care for all the fast forwarding. You have a lot of knowledge and I enjoy hearing the details. If you are going to fast forward sections, maybe do it without sound. Really enjoy your channel. Just a bit of feedback. Thank you.
That's the same year as our Greyhound bus. It's amazing how robust the old stuff was made. Modern manufacturers would go broke trying to duplicate it. Thanks!
Finally living up to your name. I appreciate the genuine joy of finding the gas tank that clean. Probably worth the effort to release the 2 hour long director's cut of this one though.
Great job. I had a A model years ago. Along with a y model. Great motors. I still have a couple vintage Briggs motors to teach my boys how to get them going
Briggs Model A. One of my favorite Briggs engines. When running, they run well! With the heavy flywheel and everything being cast iron, they run very smoothly. :)
I just started to video and personal I would take it apart and bring it back to it’s glory. It’s been sitting for years. I’m glad you are doing a tear down..
I used to have one of these. Mine was made in 1935 and it was crank start engine with an aluminium head and Tillotson updraft carburetor. I personally like the way the ones with the updraft carburetor run, as they engine will take off for a bit after startup until the governor kicks in and brings the engine speed back down.
By the look of all that fine dust built up on the engine and that belt pulley I'd guess that this unit was probably running a grain transfer auger on the farm. Very dusty job, always outside, and low hp demand which would explain the carbon buildup on the head as well. Great videos. Keep it up.
Really love your videos, Mike. Thanks for producing and publishing them. I notice this time you’re experimenting with more high speed time lapse, which is a good way to zip through obvious or tedious work. However, your usual excellent narration is lost. You should try voicing over these sections, briefly describing what is going on, while the video speeds along. Could be even more effective at explaining your efforts and also achieving the time compression you want.
I don't know. I have a 1975 Tonka air cooled out board sat in the shed from 1980 until 2016 carb and fuel tank were clean they have never seen ethanol fuel. Cleaned the points engine cranked and runs great. I only run True fuel premix 40 to 1 I think it originally was a 16 to 1 mix. You always have great videos. I can always learn from watching the different ways people do thing. I have worked as a small engine mechanic starting in 1969 the foreman told me "it is a small engine if you can get it in the shop with out taking the exhaust off."
Thanks to all for the replies on fuel. The suggested alternates cost from $13 to $90 per gallon and/or are not available from retailers in my area. I can drive one mile out of town and buy avgas from the pump at the airport for about $4 per gallon. In the absence of a specific reason not to use avgas in small engines, seems like the thing to do.
To be fair, my GX in my mini-bike is over 10 years old. The real question is how much of it is original? I can tell you is roughly 50%. But you are correct on those old B&S units. They'll last for the ages.
Those meters look like they came from the deathhouse at singing and a lamp bank up on shelf. . . I have the model 23 BFA an painted it purple and black cast iron engines, they are GREAT.
a friend of mine had these old engines, hookt up to a car generator, not alternator but a generator, was great for charging truck batteries. usually an engine is rated 500 watts electric power to each hp of mechanical hp.
Little tip when your loosening the nut on the starter cup on those old Briggs if you look on the front of the blower housing there is a hole there, that is to put a punch or screwdriver in to hold the fins on the flywheel from spinning, makes it a Little easier for removing the starter cup, great video ! I have several old letter series Briggs on locke reel mowers that I enjoy working on ever work on any f series briggs?
Except for the flywheel, it came apart pretty easy. Lots of parts on ePay most of the time. I have two Briggs model A's at the moment. Both mine have Flo-Jet carbs. with 6 digit serial numbers. I have not done anything with them yet. I have a model B also with a 800 watt Kohler generator bolted to it. It was made late in 1945. My favorites are the later big thumpers like the model 9 up to the 32xxxx series. Looking forward to the next learning video.
This all looks formilure from when I was a kid. I'm 58 now so I do have some memories of them. I'm thinking they run it out of oil at one time and tore up the crank. They just put a rod in it and run it. Polish the crank up then remove a little material on the rod cap to select fit the clearance
Pretty surprised how clean the tank is. Can’t wait to see the newest member of the generator family up and running and, who the hell thumbs down intelligent videos
I'd have heated evaporust spraying on it a couple of days. All the rust would be gone and no cutting needed. Would need to keep redirecting the spray nozzle if a spray box isn't used.
Where do you recommend getting parts for old Briggs and Stratton engines? I got a 1959 with electric start, supposedly come off a rototiller. Model 81353
Would be interesting to see what power it will make if you raise the compression and give it a little more timing! It should be safe since it was build for the gas the old timers had!
@Edgar Miller The high quality gas cans built by fairbanks Morse were marked lead lined.. I have a couple very old morse safety that are still clean as a pin inside.. But I agree a lot of old feul cans and lanterns were turn plate.
I understand others comments on the sped up segments. If you use it only to reduce time for those segments that tend to get boring -and- if you mute the audio and then do a voiceover explaining what's happening or discuss some other aspect of the project that might work better. I have no problem with accelerating portions of a video where appropriate but muting the audio is almost a must when you do.
Also I'll put my 2 pennies worth...and I'll say it again... Mike, please do not fast forword. We want to see what you're doing and hear you because we enjoy your vids.
1-1¾hp for an engine that size? Mike, I must ask what makes an older engine so weak when compared to a modern of the same size? They both still use carburetors valves and pistons with rings. What advancements would a new Briggs compared to that old unit when they both look to be the same size?
Very nice find Mike! I recently got my hands on a model B that I have been tinkering with for the last month or so. (There's a video on my channel about it if you are interested by the way) Very well built engines. Man if you thought that flywheel was stuck you should have seen mine lol! It took me 2 or 3 weeks to get it off! Looking forward to seeing this one run and those experiments too! : )
Thank you for another interesting video I’m not that keen on fast forwarding and feel cheated about missing out on your commentary which is a main part of the reason I watch your videos I would rather you did a part 1.2.3.4 but left in the full commentary but this is just a bit of feed back please keep putting out your great videos thanks.
Do you notice that the steel is really not that rusty. Compared to today, the engine would of been rusted to swiss cheese. Nicely done Mike. Peace too.
Fuel question for the small engine mechanics on the channel. The only ethanol-free fuel available in my area is avgas, listed as "100LL" (100 octane low lead) on the pump at the airport. Is there a downside to using this in small engines that are stored for long terms?
I use Aspen alkylate for all small engines, it stores for many years without problems and does not damage carburetors. In USA you have a similar product Stihl Motomix and Moto4Plus.
Try TruFuel. Probably cheaper and a lot easier to obtain. Run the engine dry, then put some of this in and run it dry again. Because you never really run it completely dry and this will store much longer. There's 2 and 4 stroke available.
the mod." A " engine became the mod. "9" engine in 1949( CAST IRON) with the magna-matic ignition system. the bore and stroke was the same. both engines are excellent in construction durability, and longevity. they were designed to be rebuilt, not thrown away!!!!. also 1948 was the year that steve briggs left the briggs & stratton corporation. and started up the "outboard marine corporation"
Probably was used to power a feed grinder or possibly an elevator . lots and lots of fine particles flying around and getting sucked up in the cooling fan. Lot of youngsters say why does that big engine only put out one and a 1/2 horsepower. I always say that's old time horsepower it puts out that horsepower for ever! compared to modern throwaway engines that run fast and burn away.
Hey 6 digit a one I must get in my collection I have a5 digit has oil pump and crank start different carb I’m a collector heavily I have rare ones a model R2. RC and two model WA units a ZH with the Kingston carb to name a few Lauson I have and Wisconsin’s but I’m now in collecting diesels those are scarce as people didn’t know that they existed and the prices made these engines very rare in the us here and to get a brand like Lombardi Who’s now owned by Khorramshahr now and farymahnn are very expensive your looking at a grand and a half for a 5 to 8 hp engine crazy isn’t it but we are in the us these are imports so it don’t help also emissions is now preventing them from being sold here I love the hobby of small engines it’s a great feeling to get a engine that’s old and then to show it off running is a killer
Love the channel but why fast forward so much really like seeing what you do and hearing why you are doing please stop using fast forward so much I would sit and watch an hour long show
Nice old . motor I would love to see the whole thing restored with new parts and the engine needs to be bored, honed, new piston rings go through a HOT ALKALINE BATH totally clean all grime and good out.
My dad had an older engine like that with a pristine gas metal tank. After each use, he topped off the tank so it was always full of fuel and he also drained and cleaned it at least once per year. Edit: I didn't make it to the end. The fast forwarding got to be too much.
I wonder if that engine never had any gas with ethanol in it you know how straight gas won’t mix with water but water can mix in ethanol or alcohol and the cap seal worked might be why the tank looks so awesome just my thoughts heck I could be wrong I’ll be the first to say it’s possible

Totally agree!!! I don't like fast forward at all...
I agree as well... I feel like you’re explaining something about the process that we’ll never hear... Still love your videos!
James Baker and Mitch M both state a very common wish I believe. Imparting your knowledge would be much better than fast forwarding.
I don't really care for all the fast forwarding. You have a lot of knowledge and I enjoy hearing the details. If you are going to fast forward sections, maybe do it without sound. Really enjoy your channel. Just a bit of feedback. Thank you.
Exactly what I was thinking.
I'm with Mitch on that one.
I agree.
The vid be to long 20mins for algorithm
slow down your self if want watch everything
@@FOOKRUclipsNUMBERS I don't care about algorithms.
That's the same year as our Greyhound bus. It's amazing how robust the old stuff was made. Modern manufacturers would go broke trying to duplicate it. Thanks!
I really enjoy how you disassemble the entire unit, clean
it properly, Hard parts don't die- just refurbish it.
Beautifully.
Finally living up to your name. I appreciate the genuine joy of finding the gas tank that clean. Probably worth the effort to release the 2 hour long director's cut of this one though.
Great job. I had a A model years ago. Along with a y model. Great motors. I still have a couple vintage Briggs motors to teach my boys how to get them going
I’d like to see a shop tour and a tour of your fixed and junk stuff
Man that is an old engine. Enjoyed the take down. More stuff there than I would have known how to remove. Great job. Thanks for the video's
Briggs Model A. One of my favorite Briggs engines. When running, they run well! With the heavy flywheel and everything being cast iron, they run very smoothly. :)
I just started to video and personal I would take it apart and bring it back to it’s glory. It’s been sitting for years. I’m glad you are doing a tear down..
Those old Briggs engines sure do put out quite a bit of torque! I have one on a cement mixer and it still runs perfect with usual maintenance.
Wow, that tank is almost perfect, what an impressive build that little engine is, looking forward to this series very much
Your buddy RoadKing is looking for that breather cap! LoL
I'm pretty surprised to see that the tank was so clean, at least it doesn't need to be replaced. Nice work, I cant wait to see part 2.
no oxygen in the tank (ony gasoline vapors) so oxidation/rust can take place ;)
I used to have one of these. Mine was made in 1935 and it was crank start engine with an aluminium head and Tillotson updraft carburetor. I personally like the way the ones with the updraft carburetor run, as they engine will take off for a bit after startup until the governor kicks in and brings the engine speed back down.

First; first time being first to post. Thanks for posting your video's, I always find your videos very interesting.
@Scott Page USMC First to like YOUR comment Marine 👏
Really enjoy viewing your videos, thks for sharing with everyone!

Sweet find!
Would be interesting to see what power it will make if you raise the compression and give it a little more timing! It should be safe since it was build for the gas the old timers had!
Hopefully it will run in today's gas glad you got it and are working on it a piece of america
Some of those old gas tanks were actually lead lined and were very anti corrosive.

I have a couple very old morse safety that are still clean as a pin inside..
But I agree a lot of old feul cans and lanterns were turn plate.
Hey, SmallEngineMechanic working on a small engine! I watch most everything you do, but came for the small engines. :-)
Steve1989 when he sees the condition of inside the tank, “Nice..”
I think roadking wants the cap to that crankcase breather. Looks like a similar one to the one he has

I recall when our mower motor had to be replaced. I think it was a 2 hp Briggs and cost $29 installed.
1-1¾hp for an engine that size? Mike, I must ask what makes an older engine so weak when compared to a modern of the same size? They both still use carburetors valves and pistons with rings. What advancements would a new Briggs compared to that old unit when they both look to be the same size?
Keep an eye on 805ROADKING so he doesn't sneak off with the cap off the crankcase vent cup for his Briggs Y project.
I need next part right now! :)
I thought briggs always had oil slingers exclussivly but you mentioned something about those early ones having oil pumps?
Very nice find Mike! I recently got my hands on a model B that I have been tinkering with for the last month or so.

Fuel question for the small engine mechanics on the channel. The only ethanol-free fuel available in my area is avgas, listed as "100LL" (100 octane low lead) on the pump at the airport. Is there a downside to using this in small engines that are stored for long terms?
It'll still go bad. Just not as quickly. Just drain the tank and run it dry before storage.
I use Aspen alkylate for all small engines, it stores for many years without problems and does not damage carburetors. In USA you have a similar product Stihl Motomix and Moto4Plus.
Try TruFuel. Probably cheaper and a lot easier to obtain. Run the engine dry, then put some of this in and run it dry again. Because you never really run it completely dry and this will store much longer. There's 2 and 4 stroke available.
Most marine fuel depots have non-ethanol gas for outboards and marine engines. Only works if you live near the water.
@@WTFIsThisGuyDoing233 I'm a big fan of fuel shutoffs--add them to all my systems and run the carbs dry. My big concern is the ethanol.
In the unlikely event that you can't get this running, I know someone who needs a crankcase breather cap. 😂
Hey! Roadking is looking for that cap that goes on the breather for his current Model Y rebuild project
FYI that particular impact gun has no regulation in reverse.
Nice engine road king would be all over this engine if he knew you had it
cast iron engine blocks and cast iron skillets, can't go wrong either way.
14:10 Would it be safe to say this little guy was in operation during the Dust Bowl era?
Dust bowl era 1930 to 1936.
And I thought the 10hp 1964 Briggs that’s in my Allis Chalmers was old!
the mod." A " engine became the mod. "9" engine in 1949( CAST IRON) with the magna-matic ignition system. the bore and stroke was the same. both engines are excellent in construction durability, and longevity. they were designed to be rebuilt, not thrown away!!!!. also 1948 was the year that steve briggs left the briggs & stratton corporation. and started up the "outboard marine corporation"
I wanna go to Vintage Pulley World!!!
Probably was used to power a feed grinder or possibly an elevator . lots and lots of fine particles flying around and getting sucked up in the cooling fan.
Lot of youngsters say why does that big engine only put out one and a 1/2 horsepower. I always say that's old time horsepower it puts out that horsepower for ever!
compared to modern throwaway engines that run fast and burn away.
Wonder if 1.5 HP had much more momentum? The RI motors in those days did.
Super charge one of them briggs motors!! That'd be rad!!

Did you fall asleep on the fast forward button of the remote control? 😋
Love the channel but why fast forward so much really like seeing what you do and hearing why you are doing please stop using fast forward so much I would sit and watch an hour long show
I really expected you to say that the throttle cable was cast iron too.
The fast forward with audio is tough to get through.
"Don't see any obvious rust." I wonder if there is something on my screen then.
I think he meant enough rust to compromise the structural integrity
Who do you think you are, Roadking? 😁
Nice old . motor I would love to see the whole thing restored with new parts and the engine needs to be bored, honed, new piston rings go through a HOT ALKALINE BATH totally clean all grime and good out.
Like #82
Thanks for the video!
I think the original owner must have bypassed the fuel tank and run the engine of wood gas (or something) injected into the carburator.
My dad had an older engine like that with a pristine gas metal tank. After each use, he topped off the tank so it was always full of fuel and he also drained and cleaned it at least once per year.
Edit: I didn't make it to the end. The fast forwarding got to be too much.
I wonder if that engine never had any gas with ethanol in it you know how straight gas won’t mix with water but water can mix in ethanol or alcohol and the cap seal worked might be why the tank looks so awesome just my thoughts heck I could be wrong I’ll be the first to say it’s possible
