Small Engine Reassembly 3.5 HP Briggs and Stratton

[@philliphall5198]

I remember teaching classes at college back in the mid 70s It was fun and good side money 😊

[@eostrike]

That was a pretty awesome video. Thanks for taking time to create this.

[@carlosdanger1843]

Thank you very much! I’m so grateful that all this info is provided - invaluable, sir!

[@wayneschenk5512]

It’s a 1000 hour engine ready for another.

[@temptail]

Aawsome instructional! Thanks for taking the time Shawn!

[@ericwhitfield8475]

Great video. I think I need to watch this video a few times to understand everything in it. Thank you and best wishes.

[@rsz90182]

No need to watch several times. I did this when I was 12 in 1979 all by myself without the Internet. I had the engine running 💨!

[@meTimetraveler]

Nice Video although the ring end gaps should be 120° apart not 30°. on my motor i bough at a yard sale i had to hone the cylinder for a 1 hundredth over Piston. I also replaced the crankshaft seals and the seals on the PTO. you did not use a locking mechanism for the connecting rod cap bolt nuts like the OEM bolt nut lock tabs or at least loctite blue

[@aarongomez5812]

You are the man!! Thus video is a life saver thanks!! 🙌

[@alexanderloborz7014]

Excelente muy bien me gusto y es así como se debe trabajar con mucho orden y limpieza de las partes para mayor seguridad solo un detalle de mi parte para los que nos gusta para aprender la cámara muy largo hay detalles importantes que no se ven muy bien. Un saludo desde Costa Rica Cental America.

When adding oil to a gasket you are essentially starting a leak

[@anthonycrossley2426]

...and this risk will be increased with the use of an Engine Flush

[@frankmonte437]

thank you very much for this in depth visual and informative video, very helpful and greatly appreciated !!!!!

[@HuongThu-ns4to]

so touching for an excellent video

[@pajarocampana7980]

I have this exact engine on my lawn edger, and I've been looking for a replacement gas tank. Do you know the part number? Any help would be appreciated. I have enjoyed this video a lot.

Wow, that was really cool! 👍

Would you happen to know if a 5hp horizontal shaft Briggs and Stratton crankshaft will work in a 3.5hp horizontal shaft Briggs and Stratton engine?

Don't the piston rings get spaced 120° apart?

[@MrBianconeri90]

should be

[@bruceakers7003]

You mistakenly mentioned the ring positions as 30 degrees offset; while they are set at 1/3 of the circle apart, correctly they are 120 degrees from each opening. A complete circle is 360 degrees, but most realize what you meant.

[@carlodonnell146]

how does the kill switch stop the spark; does it ground it or unground it, I once thought that when the handle is pulled for starting that it grounded the coil for starting, but that doesn't seem to be the case after all. I don't understand how it works to start and stop the engine except for the brake that stops the spinning.

[@edwardmacdonald5453]

A brilliant video . I would love to see close ups and slower presentation. Cheers Ed.

[@kevinisbell1867]

Turn it down to half speed.

[@yamahar1811]

What about valve stem seals what happened to that part

[@manuelche2674]

Hi, to replace the piston ring I have to do all this process?

[@miguelangelvalderrama1808]

Wooow i need that beautiful engine to make a go kart 😍.

[@nos9341]

You can buy a much better Chinese engine at harbour freight or princess auto with a cast iron bore and ball bearings. In 1960 this was a great engine but it stood still while time marched on

[@roofdriller1537]

great video but do all these engines have the marks to time them? that is the only thing i don't know how to do

What are the torque specs on the head bolts?

[@seanmilhuisen8174]

Hey mate would you have a link for that fly wheel holder.

Gran! aporte. muchas gracias! pura vida! una consulta, cuanto es el torque del brazo biela?

Great video !

[@realestateinfonet9041]

Great video! Thanks!

[@charger440]

Most of the mechanics in other videos I have watched, where kind enough to mention the torque specs!

[@rickdiculous23]

They’re different for each model. Yours probably isn’t the same as his which is why he said to reference the manual. You can look yours up online by looking at your model numbers specs

[@charger440]

@@rickdiculous23 Mine is exactly like is, 3.5 hp, that’s why I watched his video, hoping to get the right info, I don’t like to put more torque than the one recommended by the manufacturer.

[@rpavlik1]

@@charger440 for all Briggs L head under 13cu in (about 5hp) head bolts 140 inch lbs, Conn rod 100 inch lbs, and flywheel nut is between 55 and 65 ft lbs, increasing with size generally. Crankcase cover is 85 inch lbs except for some weird 10 cu inch models that like more. Source: just reading it right off the Briggs service manual.

@@rpavlik1 Do you know if the manuals are available online? I only managed to find the operating manual which I already have.

[@visumexcipio]

Awesome!!!

[@daryllect6659]

No valve adjustment? Why?

[@louieuribe3343]

Doing the same for my 3.5 horizontal shaft engine. What determined which case gasket to use? Since there are 3 in the gasket set, did you measure the thickness of the original gasket or did you use a dial indicator to determine the end play? What are the end play specs for this particular engine? Thanks... Louie

[@shawndavis4222]

Sorry, I've been bad about replying to comments... I have the part number back at the school so I will look and get back to you.

[@louieuribe3343]

Thanks!

[@joeadams6333]

I like that

I have the exact same engine and would like to know the torque specs for the head bolts.

How thick is the feeler gauge supposed to be on this motor?

Good job👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@bartgoins1782]

No assembly lube on the cam lobes? No reason to put oil on those gaskets.

[@Davejust451]

5:55 min, I don't like the idea of plastic cams, it should be metal. In my opinion.

Where do you get the flywheel tool from

How about the engine governor Bro?

[@gulfstream7235]

Exactly what I was looking for. Seems nearly all youtubers stay well clear of this while my engine revs its nuts off...

The governor on this engine attaches to the magneto and uses linkages to connect to the carb.

Hello, can you tell me what socket size is required to remove or install the flywheel?

[@connorssmallengines6663]

View from the road he said in the disassembly video

[@viewfromtheroad2656]

@@connorssmallengines6663 No, he does not mention the size of the nut or the socket to remove/install the flywheel, nor any other nut/socket size.

[@shawndavis4222]

That is a great question... Sorry, you're right, I did not mention any socket sizes. I like to have my students find what size they need either through trial and error or by looking in the manual. With that said, unfortunately I do not remember the size I used for the flywheel. I will try to remember to check when I get back to school and post a reply. Thanks for watching!

Hola pero no entiendo nada, 🤔 soy español, disculpas.

[@MBihon2000]

What a shame, why use plastics gear against metal gear, so maybe when they break you have to buy a new one again? What is the logic of using weak parts inside the engine? No one will try to fix it for nothing, when you can buy a new one with 0 interest for 12 months to pay at Home Depot!

[@nos9341]

Cheap and good enough. Not many companies could build as inexpensive and engine that was still good enough for most home owners. Honda Stayed clear of this market because they could not compete. Even some Chinese clone Honda and kohler engines today use plastic cams. Good enough and long lasting enough. The plastic cam was an inovation Also quiet.... No one will fix it because its so cheap to manufacture a new one.
