My name is Bre. I took two years of small engine repair at the local college. When I left school, I fell into a wonderful job at a local small engine shop where I worked the counter for a couple years. In 2010 my husband and I opened up our own small engine shop in central Arkansas where I am able to work alongside my family and best friends. We see over 2,000 pieces of small engine equipment every year, and answer 1,000's of small engine questions. We specialize in brands such as Briggs and Stratton, Kohler, Echo and Shindaiwa, but work everyday on MANY other brands like Stihl, Husqvarna, Honda, Craftsman, Remington, Red Max, Troy Bilt, Scag, Bad Boy, Hustler, World Lawn, Poulan, Mantis, Etc.. Hopefully, my experience I share, will save you Time, Money and Frustration in the future!

I always look for free lawn mowers on Facebook or sometimes just when I'm driving I see one sitting on the side of the road with a signed that says "free take me" this past fall I picked up seven of them that way. Most of them just need carburetors rebuilt are in one case I picked up a 2017 that had a broken pull rope. I get them running, do a compression test, sharpen the blade,clean them up and sell them for $150 to $200 each I even write in free local delivery. I just got rid of the last one on Thursday my net profit was $1527.00 . Not bad for a retired guy trying to keep my mind occupied

I had a old mower that my aunt had in her shed and it must have been at least 40 years old since her husband mowed the yard and had been gone for years when she passed away. Took it home and put gas in it and it started right up. It was a mower sold by Montgomery Wards which has been out of business for decades. Old stuff is hard to kill :)

@@Chickanic ... You got that right! My predecessor to the self propelled unit is a Yard Man with a cast aluminum deck. We bought it used in the '70s. I've kept it going through judicious repairs. It's due for some more attention, such as the vertical pull starter and I think I'll get a new dipstick tube to return it to its original configuration. Right now, I pull the fill plug and make sure it has oil close to the threads' upper area. The throttle is held by a crooked piece of stiff wire. When I fix it up again I think it will outlive me and my son will run it another lifetime.

Working on my in-laws house. Due to health reasons, they haven't used their Briggs and Stratton powered lawn mower in years. We're in the process of setting up a lawn service but until then, I wanted to see if I could get the lawn mower running. The engine is identical to this one and this video was very helpful in getting up and running. I did have a problem with the throttle/governor being jammed wide open by a twig so the engine was over revving. I removed the shroud, cleaned the area around the governor and linkages and all was well...Fires up on the first try and was able to get the lawn mowed today!

That one got fixed with a little carefully applied duck tape.

After two 3.5hp lawnmowers and 5.0hp (vertical) rototiller, I should have pursued that more as a career choice, but chose military after school. The project this week, I’d go for near top $$$, minus warranty, unless you offer warranty repairs, then I’d charge top $$$!!! Looks fantastic. Helps with an additional coat of surface treatment. The shine is incredible! Well done Bree.

I bought a Murray lawnmower from a pawnshop for $25. It has the quantum Briggs &Stratton flathead engine in it. Someone put a new carburetor in it and new airfilter. It wouldn't start. Found out the last owner put diesel fuel in the gas tank. Had to drain the tank, clean the lines, put fresh gasoline in it. It smoked for the first 5 minutes after changing the fuel in it, but then it cleared up. Runs amazing. Also put fresh engine oil in it. Great bargain.

I have this engine since 2002 or 2003. It starts with one pull every year. Never in 22 years it gave me any trouble. I never had to clean the carburetor. I don’t even drain fuel and don’t use any stabilizers. It just works. I figured it must have been a good engine to perform like it did. The deck is all rusted though. I was patching it up for the past few years. I just bought an aluminum deck mower without engine for $25. I will attempt swapping this engine to the new mower. Hope it fits and keeps running another 20 years.

Reminds me of my early teens when I would trash pick old mowers and fix them up for sale. One time I sold one back to the guy I trash picked it from! 😂 Those were good engines, but not as bulletproof as the even older 92000 series. Those were practically indestructible even though they were only rated for 3 or 3.5 horsepower depending on which carburetor was on it, and those suction lift carburetors were even easier to work on. Personally, I would have gone ahead and added an inline fuel filter, and maybe even a shutoff while I was changing the fuel line (just my preference).

Gas, Spark, or Compression. I have a 31 year old flathead B&S that still runs like a top (with a little yearly maintenance!), aluminum deck Homelite mower. The spring time is usually a good time to find mowers sitting on the curb (people put them up for the winter with ethanol gas in them and they won’t start in the spring). They go buy a new one and toss the old one.

The long needle-nose pliers from Germany, angled at 45° (probably from Knipex, judging by the color), are called "angled long-nose pliers" with the nickname "cranked telephone pliers" because they used to be a standard tool for telephone technicians (when telephones were still analogue). . With side cutters, telephone pliers, combination pliers and 2-3 screwdrivers you can easily play Mac Gyver....

Popping out needle seats with compressed air.....man does that bring back memories,we used to shoot them at each other and they sting when they hit bare skin. Circa 1971 at the mower shop I worked at as a kid. Your shop looks magnificent,need a shot of the front customer counter. Now is about the time you wished ya woulda built it a wee bit larger...Great carb video.

I have a 2 stroke shop. In between customer repairs I build equipment also. I just finished a Husqvarna 359xp last night. Good money to be made for sure!

Nice job ! Not many women like to repair small engines or even have a shop, easy stuff . I do it for the community not for the money, keep up the good work.

Thank you for the video. I have the same model and did all the rebuild following your advice every step of the way. I also had to replace the starter assembly as I ripped the old cord. The only thing you didn't address is idle speed. Mine ran like 9,000 rpm until I figured out that I attached the governor spring in the wrong place. Slowly working my way up the tension ladder to get it right.

I have a 1991 Craftsman, rear drive, with a Briggs flat head that I still use today. Lots of little repairs, fuel tank, rear wheels, etc. Starts first or second pull everytime.

Thanks for another great video..Watch you all the time and have learned alot .It's hard for me to believe someone would just give this mower up..! I have the exact same mower but I think it's an 09. I have kept it running all these years just with preventive maintenance. I use it to get in the tight areas but do most of my yard , which is large ,.with my John Deere Rider .
