1975 Briggs and Stratton. pulled from a scrap pile. will it run???

I was recently given a bunch of vintage mowers for free. This one was in about the worst shape out of all of them. I literally pulled it from a scrap pile along withh several others. Thanks for following along as I try and get this old mower to come back to life after sitting for Who knows how long. Please check out my other videos and subscribe to my channel if you enjoyed the content. Jesus saves. God bless.

When running these engines with the air cleaner removed, reinstall the air cleaner stud because the engine will run rich without it. The engine sounds pretty good Greg!

[@gregsmowersandmore5878]

It's not a bad running engine for where it came from. I'm planning on doing a part two on it to see about getting it running alittle.bit better. I've tried the air cleaner screw on other engines and it really never seems to make a nickels worth of difference for me. Hopefully once it has anew muffler and the carb gone through it'll run like a new one again. Time will tell. Thank you for watching. God bless

Greg, it’s really cool that you are getting these old mowers running. Pretty neat seeing all the brands that are not in production anymore too.

[@gregsmowersandmore5878]

So glad your enjoying them. There is much more to come and soon. God bless

That mower you're fixing up is a Wheeler Gran Prix they no longer make anymore. My grandmother use to have a red one that has a 5 hp Briggs and Stratton Quantum 35 along time ago.

It's alive Greg and sounds promising too.. Maybe a carb refresh and a fresh plug will make it run even better.. I've just spent many hours rebuilding a Husqvarna K77O concrete saw for a local tradesman.. Main bearings & top end too, filthy things to work on..

[@gregsmowersandmore5878]

@user-cz9hh6nm9b it doesnt sound too bad. I started working on a part two on it this morning. We will see how it runs after some more work. Sounds like a awesome job on that old saw. Thank you for watching God bless

That’s a good idea Greg putting a shipping container on there. You won’t have to worry about it leaking then have a good day and God bless you too.

What you have to do, is to put the screw in to the carb, when trying to run it. You have a nice size hole which can affect the running of the engine.
