Briggs and Stratton 5 hp Outboard Motor 4 stroke

[@KalbroneognobpOgnobp]

I admire briggs and Stratton,best quality engine...

[@Oxfire95965]

Trust me it's running good right now when you start to run a load on it and having the water you're going to burn it up leave the Rev eliminator on there; that's the way it was designed

[@RedneckDeluxe]

Beats rowing !

[@mattsboatyard6891]

You weren't kidding, can feel the vibrations thru the computer screen ha!Sounds like it's running well though anyway. Don't see those on the water often.

[@tylerott9269]

The lower unit seems like it barely has any gear reduction so it shifts really hard even when idled all the way down. The prop also looks like a portable fan.

[@frankmills5284]

I've seen people run a conduit pipe off engine so it exhausts underwater. It quiets them down alot.

What speeds did you get on my 1232 I get 8-10 but still working on motor

[@curtbennett8402]

I have a question for you. I have the same motor with only four hours on it I bought. But it tells me it’s only a freshwater engine, not a salt water I put on to the sinks, but do you think you’ll be an issue to go in salt water as I rinse off afterwards.

[@tylerott9269]

It is an air cooled engine so it shouldn’t need to get flushed after running. Just hose it off to clean of any salt residue

[@curtbennett8402]

@@tylerott9269 but do you think it’s safer for salt water? If I keep it clean after I use it

[@tylerott9269]

@@curtbennett8402 the only concern I have is that there is a lot of steel on the engine that will rust badly in a salty environment. There is no water circulating through the engine so you don’t have to flush it.

Need to add a sacrificial anode

[@justincase9173]

Can you replace it with a predator motor without modification?

[@lucky7thejeep695]

Did you ever get an answer for this

[@justincase9173]

​@@lucky7thejeep695No

[@rickland9838]

Mount pattern is different it's better than a predator engine anyway

[@bryanchadburn8029]

What oil does it take

[@tylerott9269]

I think it is 30 wt like most small engines

[@davidburchard3178]

I saw one for sale today brand new for $300 at garage sale. What are these things worth?

[@frankmills5284]

I paid $200 for mine. The ones I've seen on marketplace usually range from 200 to 400.

[@thomasirvin4159]

I put mine up for sale on fb for 400, sold in one day.

[@burtvhulberthyhbn7583]

Does it have B&G'$ infamous PLASTIC timing gears??? I've had to toss 2 perfectly good generators because of their stupid plastic timing gears.

[@Oxfire95965]

Do compression check she sounds tired

[@Oxfire95965]

She might be slow but she gets the job done but that Reverend eliminator is going to keep you from blowing that motor when you run a load on it in other words when it's in the water pushing all that weight that's a load I will keep that River eliminator on there

[@Petesworkshop2225]

Needs more rpms

[@jimmywarren6685]

It is like most Briggs stuff...junk!
