Who needs the Stupid Bowl when you can have Mike? 😉
The super bowl is on my tv but I’m watching mike lol
What Bowl?
Exactly!
So brave. #ihatesportsball
No pooper bowl for me. Haven't watched sports for years. Would rather watch videos like this.
So brave. #ihatesportsball
The same for me, I have not watched television for a year now, nothing else than commercials and corona on TV, but Mike's videos...Them I watch 👍👍👍
Was never into sports. Especially don't watch them. When everyone my age was throwing a ball around, I was out hill climbing with my dirt bike. And while they'd be watching it on TV, I'd be in the garage rebuilding a top end.
No Mustie1 today! I need my old junk fix fix!
Yeah, he needed a break. Vehicle issues.
I know, it´s strange not to have a mustie video on a sunday! However, Mike is doing a great job as well I think :)
He only had 20 ads,needs 30 to break Evan. Lol
@@v-g-z3689 which Mike?
@@dans_Learning_Curve The guy doing this video is called Mike.
Gladly watching this prime content over the Super Bowl! Great stuff man keep up the good work.
You're just as annoying as the people that do watch the superbowl. Couldn't just watch the video, just had to bring up how special you are that you didn't watch it. Like a vegan.
I apologize.. For corn sake
I sure am glad to see a mechanical person call an engine a engine and NOT A MOTOR!
Slang is used in every profession and hobby. Everyone knows what an engine is but sometimes motor flows better. Its not that big of a deal really.
So... I guess when your heat pump fan quits, your going to call and say " My fan engine in my heat pump guit"?
i was waiting for this to come out
This is way more interesting to watch instead of the Super Bowl and the stupid commercials that appear every 2 seconds. Much more enjoyable and educational. Thank you Mike for a Great show tonight!!
Really love your videos. Genuine, interesting, calming and fun to watch. I hope you continue to do them and I wish you and your family the very best.
Great Mike,,good to see the start to the almost the finish in one clip,, well done..regards Frank
So nice to hear, 7/16th bolt instead of 10mm bolt.
Beam type torque wrench - love it. Takes me back to the early 60s and my first torque wrench, Craftsman. I still have it.
Why is that nice. It's arguable worse in every way.
@@russellv6234 it’s just nice to hear a “flash from the past”. I have and use metric tools, but my favorites are my well worn imperial tools.
Still got mine! Really miss Saturday mornings in the Sears tool department.
I have my grandads 70’s craftsman, 1/2 drive, beam type torque wrench. I use it for everything
Best video I have seen in a long time, really cool you filmed it all, looking forward to seeing it run.
Well done and extremely thorough. Personally, I love the longer videos you make. Thank you for taking the time to do so.
Incredible! An instruction video in real/unedited time. This is a keeper when working on small engines as a visual guide/aid when working with a manual, thank you.
Loved it Great to see someone else doing all the work and i just sit back and watch Cheers.
Thanks, enjoyed that. Waiting for the next installment. I always enjoy your videos.
I love the long video makes a person feel like they're part of the project and Mike there's no such thing as perfection project go sideways sometimes . I wonder how much it's going to cost for a machine work and parts
Thanks for another great video! I always was amazed at how incredibly worn out out these old engines could be and still run. I wish things were still designed and built to last generations.
Woo hoo!
A movie length video from Mike. What better way to relax after a brain numbing day at a training course. Thanks again for all your time and effort mate.
THIS IS ONE Of THE BETTER ASPECTS Of U TUBE
get to watch a dedicated professional practice their art,
thanks Mike
I have learned so much about the mechanics of engines from you. I've even learned about generator operations which I never really, as an EE, ever thought about! Thank you for the knowledge! Love your channel.
Loved the video mate. All the way from Australia keep em coming
ALWAYS great to see the good and bad of a job! If we don't see what goes wrong, and how it is corrected, we don't learn much! Mike demonstrates this beautifully!
I enjoyed the long video! Thank you!
Hey Mike that was very interesting I thought for sure that it was going to run can't wait for the next video great stuff thanks
Love the long video, thank you so much
I thoroughly enjoyed this, look forward to the carb bits arriving👍😁
YES! I've been waiting for this baby!
Nice video. I like the long format, start to finish. 👍
Mike, As always a really good video. I find I really enjoy watching whatever you choose to work on. Keep up the good work - and onward to running that '46 (?). Strange to think - that was the same year I was born in Norristown. - Joe -
Brilliant, enjoyed every minute
Thanks for the entertaining and relaxing hanging out in your shop!
:-D
I now this was a long video, BUT well worth the time to gain knowledge, Thanks soo much!
Great video, worth every minute.
Great video and the length was fine, made the process realistic!👍👍
Can't wait for the finale - great series Mike
Nice work Sir! Thank You
Jim
mike, i'm waiting breathlessly. i wish i was 50 years younger so i could learn from you. thanks for your videos.
You are a great mechanic! 👍
Excellent work sir. I watched the full thing from start to finish and enjoyed every minute. It's a pity that carb is in such rough shape, but at least the rebuild kit will fix it.
Great job, it’ll run! I have faith in you!
I enjoyed this video very much, when you think about it, once it had a good spark plug it started and ran even with a bad carburator, imagine when it was new or even a few hundred hours run time on it this was a very reliable engine, personally I think it's worth saving, thanks for taking the time to show us
Enjoyed the video. Catch you on the next one.
Great videos, been watching since RoadKing.
Nice work!!! Poor old Briggs is alive!!!!!!!! Thanks!
Great video Mike. When I had my 1943 P.E. 75 apart, I didn't want to have any blow by problems with the valve seats so I went ahead and ground them and the valves. They are just a 45 degree grind. I also found the correct spark plug for the engine and that worked wonders for cold start ups.
My generator can sit for months at a time and fire up with just two pulls of the rip-chord. It is shown running in several videos that I made on my channel. Keep up the good work, gonna keep following this build.
Nice work!
With how bad that sucker was leaking, I woulda bet that float was sunk 🤣 nice work Mike 👍
👍 Enjoyed the Full Length Video. Still better entertainment than what’s on 🇺🇸 TV these days...
Looking forward to the sequel “Let’s Hope She Runs Now”
Nothing wrong with long videos is what makes it long is interesting (which it was).
As usual nice one Mike! Don't forget to bend over the tabs on the big end bolts!
it runs Mike , Great job ! I bet with a carb rebuild and some tinkering it will come to life pretty good .. ENJOYED
Good show Bud! Hopefully you'll have that rebuild kit ready for another video next weekend.
It's relaxing to watch these videos I don't know why..
Great video. A blocked bowl vent will cause flooding like that. The fuel will be forced through the emulation tube instead of filling the bowl. The float will never float. If vented, it will seat (may still leak a little until you rebuild). Just had the same issue. Was flooding like crazy. Needle, seat and float all tested well. Cleared the vent and all was good.
It was a good try. I look forward to seeing the next installment. I like the long videos.
Very good vid, more like this.
We need to go on some of your service calls, too. My 2 cents. Great video.
Very enjoyable.
I traded a windshield out of a 3rd gen Camaro for a Briggs model A. Added it to the collection but never have gotten it running. Your videos are great man, and the stuff you're wrenching on is beyond cool. Wish I knew half as much about generators.. I've diagnosed and repaired a fair amount of them but I swear it's all been luck. I always had technical support from the mfg too (used to do warranty repairs for a place)
Very good Mike.....
I enjoy these kind of longer format videos...nice to just relax at night and have in the background. Not full of clickbait, bad humor and politics.
I've been balancing my bank statement, there's something soothing about hearing you pull that old girl over and over. Reminds me of my young days being with my dad, when he was trying to start the Clinton engine on the Snappin Turtle mower.
👍 Danke fürs Hochladen!
👍 Thanks for uploading!
👍 Very good and beautiful, thank you!
👍 Sehr gut und schön, danke!
Mike, you’ve got the patience of Job with the no start issue!
The patience of Job very nice reference!
Great video! Reassembly always has it’s little issues that need an extra touch. There is nothing today that comes close to classic cast iron for smooth operation!
Bowl vent blocked will cause fuel to run out because the only vent is thru the fuel passage
After watching quite a few Shopdog Sam vids of the older stationary engines, the Briggs is really impressive with its castings, fit and finish, and its technology. The horsepower that they would achieve with one fifth the size. Groundbreaking stuff.
Well it ran for a few seconds.
But it was quite educational watching you build it up from a pile of bits on the bench. Thanks
You can only do so much with what you have. Blow testing the float valve before installing the carb can save lots of time.
Good video. To fix the problem of an over torqued, or rusted, needle, you could chuck the damaged needle in a drill or lathe, by inserting them into a snug piece of neoprene tube (to protect the threads), and then spin the needle on a fine file, or fine crocus cloth glued to a flat surface. It works like magic, and saves having to ginf needles to fit oddball carbs. I have a small lathe I use, but just clamping an ordinary drill to the workbench would work judy as well. I have also done that in an emergency.
NO Smok!!That old girl sounds and looks good to me I love old iron great video thanks.
Been using an ultrasonic cleaner for over 15 years now, and I've come up with 2 things, a mix I sware by, and from small engine saloon, using a plastic mayo big mouth jar, ok my mix is 50% simple green PURPLE, has to be purple, 25% white distilled vinegar, and 25%baby water IE distilled water, heat up the mixture first to 50c, then turn off the heat, put the carb in the heated mixture, and that carb comes out completely clean and new looking polished even, just fill the ultrasonic cleaner with regular tap water, place the mayo wide mouth jar with the liquid mix in it and the carb parts into the water, heat it all up, then turn the heat off, so the ultrasonic part has full power, and you will love the results..... Great video BTW.
The float on my '65 had sprung a leak and become a 'sunk'. One thing I discovered is that if you have an ultrasonic cleaner? They are a great method of destroying an old brass float! :O
DrFiero , More likely not. Musti1 uses his on almost all the carbs he rebuilds, I'd prefer the word "test."
@@BruceNitroxpro - well, we all have different old parts, and different cleaners. All I know is mine went in slightly fubbared, and came out swiss cheese.
@@DrFiero , LOL Swiss cheese ain't good, no way, no how! ROFL
What cleaner did you have? A lot of the “safe” chemicals like Simple Green aren’t flammable but do eat some metals. For that reason I prefer carb cleaner even though is it a little more dangerous.
cool job
nice job and damned if it didn't want to run. The most finicky part ( the carb) was the issue you probably saw that one coming :) Keep on keeping on!
a nice way to while away a few hours as i work, with the video on in the background
When I was a boy, I had a lot of experience with an old Clinton twin cam. I still have it.
Very nice video, showing the whole reassembly process in real time.
One thing: I didn't notice you bending the tabs on the locking plate for the connecting rod journal screws after torquing them (and before putting on the engine base), or did I miss something?
Like the finger style ring compressor
These old Briggs motors are among the greatest classic antiques.Had a BR6 from a husky hi boy cultivator,and an AP..They seem to have the same problem with weak,or no spark. It would be great to make electronic ignition for those old motors to make them a one pull start.
And what about those compression:release valves?are they needed?I worked hard to get the BR6 running, It might have fired 10 revolutions,and wore out my shoulder with the pull rope.
you know, That would have started on the first pull for RoadKing. Haha, just teasing...
Perhaps the tab on the float needs to be bent slightly to push the inlet needle further into the seat? Or maybe the gasket near the bowl vent needs to be removed to allow the float to raise just a little further? If the there is a slight 'bubble' in the gasket it may prevent full travel of the float? Just a couple ideas to check out...
Well, you persevered, so we persevered! Stopped off once for coffee about half way, but we put it in 'Park' until we were ready to set off again, and saw it through to the end - Long videos are fine by us!
I certainly applaud you tenacity at the end. I could think of plenty of folk who would resort using a drill to start that engine, which is fine, but it can have consequences that are not desirable.
Let's see what happens in the next instalment, no doubt the carb rebuild will skew the test results a bit, but if it won't start as is, then there's nothing get any horsepower figures from in the first place. Did you test the compression pressure before the attempted start? Just a thought, but it would be interesting to see if pressure changed after a run.
Dang ! It was fun though !
Good old Briggs and Stratton!!
This brings back memories! My uncles built a go-kart with an old briggs cement mixer motor (similar to this one, with the rope pull and round tank). Look forward to the carb rebuild and a smooth runner. Question: do you use a fuel with lead-sub? Those valves must be hardened... just curious.
Nice!! Fun... :-) Well at least it ran a bit....:-)
What do you see as the difference or benefit/non-benefit of assembly oil compared to regular motor oil? Excellent video. I am sure its frustrating to have a delay. Do you find that the jet seats get damaged when the needle is tightened too much? Thanks
A couple old tricks I've been taught if you can't find new needle and seat sometimes you can tap on the needle into the seat establish a new sealing surface or use some metal Polish or jeweler's rouge and spin the needle into the seat to try the stablish a lapped seal.
Might also work in trying to take the steps out of over tightened high speed and low speed needles.
When it comes to spark i use a adjustable spark checker. I never trust spark plugs even new and sometimes.
Lisle makes several versions.
so far so good...
Great job! Can I ask where you find your carburetor kits? I have an antique generator with and old cast iron Briggs that I still use from time to time, it could really use a carburetor rebuild. My local small engine shops tell me nothing is made anymore.
I am old enough to have worked on splash oiler engines and I always ran them on non-detergent oil. I recently had a Yazoo big wheel mower with an engine of that design. I am sure it was a much newer engine, but it had that carburetor.
They used this same carb for many, many years. They ran well and were easy to tune. Long live the Briggs flathead
The timing is adjustable on any points ignition engine; just adjust the points gap! I know that it affects the dwell and the spark voltage but it does primarily change the timing.
Nice!
Myself enjoyed this video, I have many Briggs Engines on Generator & Pumps. Just rebuild carb on my 16 HP gen set. Ran gen for 14 days straight, non stop after Hurricane Sandy. Nothing beats a Briggs.
If not a Briggs it would have to be a Honda.
@@frankdodson3534
No Honda engines for me.

Honda, LoL. Here is a Little Engine I worked on, that fits on top of a average work bench.

@@BaFunGool ha ha would like to see your work bench?
@@frankdodson3534
That Cummins Generator for a Mega Store 'Refrigeration Plant', in similar to a BJ's, Costco etc. That 1.6M has plenty of power, it screams wanting more load.
Myself involved with interesting stuff, whereas I take a Briggs over a Honda any day of the week.
Don't tinker in home workshop much. Will keep my 'little work' bench for Grandkids.
Sadly many schools did away with shop classes, it's important to give kid's a taste of a workshop. It's sad the amount of kids that cannot change a tube on their bicycle, neither raise handle-bar nor seat.
Many kids [adolescents] not interested in workshop fundamentals, they find it unbecoming, though they're a few that bite, whereas I will fuel their enthusiasm, in giving back.
Persistence pays! Now you you know it does run, and you know why i was hard to start as well as why it quit. Time well spent; just need some new parts.
You're getting more comfortable in front of the camera!
Briggs reassembly THE MOVIE!!
I think you have found a motor that’s not willing to work with you. But with your persistence, you shall prevail! It was a long one.
a lot of ppl don't botha w 1 and 2 hp engines but they are great, I belt'em to a car generator, NOT an alternator and with a voltage regulator and battery u have a pretty good set up for charging batteries
or for ham radio set-ups.
Your good 👍👍
