jacks mower repair concord nc ,, i'm rebuilding a 17 hp intek now ... i like your attitude ,, no vulgar language

[@Lanninglongarmmowing]

Thank you for taking the time to make the video. This is very helpful! Thanks for mentioning me too!

[@colinjones5209]

Great video, good info thanks. Well thought out and professional presentation. Anyone releasing pressure on big end Conrod bolts, crack them slightly and move across to other bolt and do same, and go back and forth till loose. Saves extreme strain at opposite side, on mating surfaces and the casting shell and bolt. Thanks for helping others with this video.

[@tonyb2337]

I noticed a lot of used but good parts on ebay. It makes more sense now.

[@Lanninglongarmmowing]

Welcome. Those parts for that engine are worth way more part per part than the whole itself. Wow.

[@doublewide6]

Just happy you are staying tuned. Thanks.

[@rodneybrand8521]

doublewide6 Repairs LLC. Looks it was ran low on oil.. I use mobil 1 seems to make it last longer..

[@blockheadfxstc0428]

I only use Mobile, Valvoline or NAPA store brand oil, the store brand is basically Valvoline with another additive (because it cannot be chemically identical to Trademarked Valvoline brand oil), Depends on the $ scene at the time of service NAPA brand carries the same engine guarantee as Valvoline. Yes you are Absolutely correct about the increase in longevity of the engine, I've always ran those oils in everything, and service at the regular intervals, and everything I own still runs perfectly.

[@williamwhitehead8362]

The issue is the owners don't change the oil in them and then they blow them up because they're using dirty oil and they don't change the oil filters either

[@bowmanw1839]

hell, I just brought a new camshaft on ebay for 61 bucks. you're crazy dude

[@goldfinger1003]

Fast forward 8 years......it sucks to be a seller on eBay......especially if your not from China. Anyway enjoyed your video.

[@patricksnyder8798]

the little electronic box is the voltage regulator

[@scottc0789]

Are there any videos on how to remove the center crankshaft on that briggs and stratton 17.5hp intek engine?

[@Sumdumbdad]

Have u found 1

[@bnhamilton]

I was able to get the connecting rod bolts with a T-40 torx screw driver. It was a little loose, but it worked. My set is missing the next size up, which may have been the right one??? Another question. I have been stripping the electrical, carburetor, controls, shields, covers, flywheel, and fan off the engine and selling the short block. Would you say that it is more profitable to strip the short block down and sell the parts separately?

[@barry5643]

Thanks much for the video. I may need to tackle a similar engine & now I have a much better idea of what I'd be going into.

[@geofghia67]

I noticed in your video that you have a Sonya Cruzan hook bracelet. I am a Cruzan myself. I live on st. Croix. I am also a mechanic. Good to see good people doing good things....keep it up. What are listed as on EBay? is it double wide also?

[@bnhamilton]

Awesome video! The one thing I was hoping to find out was what kind and size of head the connecting rod bolts have. I see you keep the intake manifolds attached to the carburetor and sell them as a unit. I never thought of that. I think I'll do a listing with variations. One variation will the the entire assembly (carburetor and manifolds), and the other variations will be the individual parts. If the entire assembly sells first I will be done with it. If one of the parts sells first I will dissamble the unit and try to sell the parts individually.

[@danacardi6122]

Why do you always sound not interested, passive, like, " the world ends today, oh well on to other things" haha haha.

[@bnhamilton]

That's the mark of a man who is just presenting the facts, not trying to impress anyone, not trying to sell you a line of BS or anything else, not trying to blow any smoke up your smokestack.

[@jophillips2868]

You still selling parts on eBay?

[@nftshiller8485]

hi i have a question i just took my 17.5 briggs apart because of bad crank and i do not know how to put the counter balance connecting rods on I know the concave side goes inwards towards the connecting rod but the aluminum balance rods look different one has an oval area? or did i mix them up from the used crank i bought but i had a broken one

[@paulelenbaum569]

I have a XRD 17.5 Briggs Intec engine that is full of gas. Do you know what the failure is that’s allowing fuel to get into the block?

[@williamthurber6683]

Easiest fix is to put a inline fuel shut off line....your carb is overflowing into the engine oil line located on the bottom of carb...will cause all your gas to leak into engine....you can also disconnect that vacuum line on bottom of carb to prevent it from entering engine oil....gas in oil will cause engine failure .

[@carriersignal]

The governor drive gear / oil slinger, does this give much trouble, being made of plastic?? If it was to fail, would you have any warning before the engine seized up?

[@timbaker8770]

Can u send me a picture of just the inside of the block???? Close to the cylinder wall

[@timbaker8770]

I'm rebuilding the same motor but I don't think my block is any good

[@mitchellransom7418]

I'm looking for a sump with a oil pump for a 17.5 intek ohv engine. Thanks

[@Lovinflyindrones2022]

How can we see the engine components that you have to sell from time to time?? Do you sell on eBay only??

[@flavio-mtb]

Me sirvió de mucho tu video!! Muchas gracias.

[@JayJohnson1066]

What's makes a 17.5 Briggs have to much compression and want let the starter turn it over with the sparkplug in it?

[@conner5611]

It ether needs the valves adjusted "easy" or a bad decompression on the cam which means you need tear the engine apart

[@raszamataz46]

Need crankcase if have one rod busted through mine

[@shankarjadoo]

please let me know my briggs&stratton engine 310707 17.5 hp smoking and consuming lot of oil. I replace head gasket but still it is smoking. your help will be very much appreciated. thank you.

[@joshclark6101]

How do those balancers work that are on each side of crankshaft

[@dejionmustard1746]

Do you know if anybody makes any after market cams pistons and crank and stuff for the 17.5 briggs and Stratton motor ?

[@markholder6851]

Why does it have a oil slinger if it has a oil pump?

[@mrnuthatch7004]

What size bolt are the connecting rod bolts? Also, does the rod have a separate rod bearing?

[@philliphall5198]

5/16

[@charliewilderness907]

Very informative . thank you

[@mrgeorgebarton]

How do I remove bad counter weight links

[@robeftyearian8760]

I would had fixed it but your making out ok just on parts

[@Lovinflyindrones2022]

Do you get all he ?'s or comments that someone post ?

[@philliphall5198]

There about half that now if you want to sale them fast To many junk engines now on eBay

[@robeftyearian8760]

I've been wanting to get into selling on eBay double wide just haven't looked in the shipping prices yet any advise let me know

[@andybub45]

These 17.5 hp briggs engines are notoriously unreliable. I had one come in today, revving sky high. The linkages are working correctly, so it seems that the internal governor is broken.

[@fendermann1825]

Thanks for video

[@philliphall5198]

The price has really dropped now

[@larryharrelson2540]

I was given a mower with this engine and apparently the connecting rod gave up and ruined the block. so im looking for one that i can rebuild. ive been unable to locate one on ebay, so if anyone out there has one,please reachn out to me. I know this video is 9 yeaes old , But poor folks got poor ways

[@joshclark6101]

What is the spring loaded part on camdhaft

[@blockheadfxstc0428]

I think it's a variable timing weight.

[@jimwilcox741]

Dano Fermoyle no, it’s a slow rpm compression release to aid starting.

[@Lovinflyindrones2022]

Do you have an Email ? I would love to start a small engine repair shop here where I live in North Carolina 20 miles above statesville NC home town of former nascar driver Harry Gant. Would you or anyone on here have any advice,comments on starting and running a small engine repair shop. How much would it cost to start the business ,tools,overhead. E t c Thanks for any info???!!!

[@kiairahhammond5543]

[@philliphall5198]

I see this broken piston all the time, seems it caused by carbon or sorry made bs piston

[@Drock8003]

What could cause oil to spray out of the intake side valve on one of these motors ? Thanks any info will be appreciated.

[@blockheadfxstc0428]

Does it spray on the outside of the engine? If so it's just a seal
