First run. 18 hp Briggs opposed twin " FRANKENBRIGGS "

[@dogsandwich77]

The horizontal opposed twin. Nice!! And that jacket you're wearing, all functional! I heard you flexed your arm and that sleeve just exploded 💪💪💪 That's what id tell people anyway!

[@lawrencecarroll2031]

Those flat head twins are BEASTS!! I got a vertical, that sat for over 20 years. I squirted a little oil into each cylinder, let it set overnight and it fired right up the next day!! It came off of an old Montgomery Ward lawn tractor that fell apart, but, I kept the engine cause it was good. I finally, after I retired, got around to messing with it! Good video!!

[@davessmallenginerevival2847]

Thanks Lawrence. Yes they are great engines. Hopefully soon I can get it in the tractor and sell it

Hi Joe. OMG you live in New York? Jeez stay safe my brother. We are in lockdown here in Minnesota to but I'm considered essential for some reason so I still have to work. The run on TP confuses me , we have non here either. I can still get some from some sources. I had to bring my friends some today because there is non to be had in the city's. Take care

[@ramonapool619]

Got one like this. Dropped a rod. Hope to get it going again. Don't know it's a 16 or 18 HP. Can't find a model or serial number on it. Came off a old Snapper garden tractor.

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

How's she goin'? Nice creation!!! I think the smoke was some assembly like you say. It sure sounds like it's running pretty good. It was a long journey but now you got it running. Now you need to use it somewhere!!! Take care and stay safe!!!

[@davessmallenginerevival2847]

Thanks Mike. It will go back in the machine it came in and then hopefully someone will buy it

[@clauslundberg9224]

I bought a 16hp off a guy.had been rebuilt 20 over but valve guides are worn. The way I understand it there not replaceable so guess I got burnt. It's a shame I really like the engine.

Hello John and thank you. Hope you are well also.

[@johnstuder847]

What happened to the FrankenBriggs? What tractor does it go in? Could you show the machine and transmission setup? What is the PTO pulley used for? I picked up one of these engines, and not sure what it came out of.

[@davessmallenginerevival2847]

It came out of a 80s craftsman garden tractor. The pulley ran a belt for the drive. These engines were in a lot of different machines

[@paullampley6295]

How does that carb work and don't leak with fuel pump off?

[@davessmallenginerevival2847]

Some came this way from the factory believe it or not. It takes a remote fuel pump and the fuel inlet is in a different spot. The casting is still in the front of the carb but the passages were never drilled. Good question👍

[@BrucesShop]

I am jealous. A foot of snow on the ground here. Is there a new work coat in your future? Although the one you have is great. I had the best coat in the world. My manager questioned the condition of it and i said "In baseball A first base ball player doesn't change his ball glove half way through the game". That was a fun video. Are you going to convert to the original fuel pump (carb)

[@davessmallenginerevival2847]

Hi Bruce. Yes it's going to be a little cold the next couple days but then 50s and 60s next week. My wife absolutely hates when I wear this coat. I don't know why I can't get rid of it. I always say this is the last time I'm wearing it but then that turns out to be a lie. Actually some of these carbs like this one are made to have a remote fuel pump. The passages are blocked. I could put a regular style carb on but I'll probably stick with this one , it seems to work good enough. To bad you still have all that snow , that's how last year was for us. We had snow clear into may. Stay healthy and safe my brother

I got the same engine only mine is having trouble cranking over one everything is new on dash to starter. Still won't start.

Check the starter itself if it still does not spin over. If it's not firing then it's something else

Told me no address found. But if you get this I can't get solenoid wired up right

[@davessmallenginerevival2847]

@@jamestrott1183 ok. Got this one. So not sure what you're working on but make sure you have the engage wire connected, it should be white or yellow. Connected to the small post on the solenoid and if their is another small post that needs to be grounded. If you don't have a test light get one , it helps to see if things are getting power. If it's hooked up right and their is power but it still doesn't work you need a new solenoid. Plus make sure the clutch/ brake pedal is pushed down. Good luck
