Will It Run? $5 antique Briggs engine.part 2

in part one we got spark and compression back. in part 2 we dig into the carb and gas tank, then see if we can get it to run.

I have been inspired by your videos and recently posted a call out for nonworking mowers, scooters, trimmers, etc. on our neighborhood website in hopes that I would get a few I could repair and them donate to Veterans of America. I got a huge response and people were glad to donate their mostly working (believe it or not) mowers and small engine equipment. So many in fact that I had to rent a storage unit to keep them all until I'm able to work through them. I plan on getting my kids involved, showing them that things can be repaired and not simply thrown away. I just wanted to say thank you for the great videos and giving me the confidence to take on all these repairs; its a bit overwhelming. It's all for a great cause, and who knows maybe I can keep it going and help out those in need. Again, many thanks. Brian-Colorado

just remember if it's broke , you can't break it , and if you can't fix it , it's for sure nobody will be able to after your done trying LOL I absolutely small engine carburetors , every year I wind up taking one apart , and more often than not you wind up doing as Mustie did , and take it back apart , they are pure engineered evil ... keep up you're supporting of the Veterans , the younger generation sure won't as most of them have no respect for the sacrifices they have and will make , and the issues that will haunt them until the day they die , they just don't care , it's sad , really sad what this world has became isn't it ... you really want to make a veterans day , specifically a vietnam veteran , be half their age , walk up to them and thank them for serving and shake their hand , they had it horrible when they came home after , it's sad , just sad ...

I was an auto car painter and loved it but my body finally had had Enough. After years of pain 4 surgeries and no relief I finally found something they helps tremendously....... Two words ... SPINAL STIMULATOR. It's changed my out look on life. I'm just starting to get out and do things because I haven't been able to to work for over 5 years, it's going to take time but I'm getting some of my life back. Your videos are an inspiration to me and as is another you tuber Johnathan W , i love his videos too, I think you know of him he recommended your channel on one of his videos. I love fixing things, making things and making things happen. I WANT TO DO SOME WORK. Anyway look into the Spinal Stimulator if not for yourself but for friends and loved ones.

Excellent job Mustie!!!!.....................Always a joy watching you bring life back to those old machines!!!

[@dave1135]

I really love those old flo-jet carbs, rarely need parts, and if it does, it's usually because a homeowner has cranked the adjustment needles as tight as they can and put a ledge in the needle. Unlike today's carbs, especially the Nikki carbs Briggs uses on its 14-18 hp ohv engines, I stock a selection of walbro replacement carbs for when I get one in. I've spent too much time and money trying to get the Nikki's to work, only to replace it anyway. And with the price of the plastic parts and rubber molded orings, the walbro is about the same or less in price. Running a shop, I can't waste my time and my customers chasing a bad designed part.if it has a running problem that's fuel related, I'll pull it off, inspect, and clean. If no joy on reinstall, it gets a new one. Flooding carbs I will try a needle ($14, Briggs list) if still floods, the metering plate (large plastic body the float attached to) is warpped, so new carb. Anyone who has a Briggs with a Nikki carb, look on Amazon or eBay, usually can get a aftermarket for next to nothing.

[@CubCadetMan71]

Yeah the nikkis are pretty bad. Ive had my fair share of annoyances with them on briggs motors

Those carbs are known for warpage of the top. I started doubling up on the gasket to get them to stop leaking. People get moody when you say things like needs a new carborator. Especially on grandpas old snow blower or roto tiller.

That was in 1963 I taught HS ag shop for 31 years and always had a small engine repair unit. One comment on this video. There should be a filter screen in the sediment bowl it probably got dirty and plugged so someone took it out to let any gas through.

Back in the 60’s, our Explorer Scout troop had to come up with something for the Scout jamboree. We decided on small engines as a subject. We took a Briggs and Stratton apart, cleaned it, and mounted it on a sheet of plywood painted white with a label for each part. We made diagrams for the two and four stroke cycles, and put our Cushman, Dynacycle and Harley Hummers’ on display. We were surprised at the interest in our display, with people making comments like “I had no idea my lawnmower had all those parts in it”. That was a lot of fun. Thanks Mustie1!

[@grassman1502]

Standard preset / initial set for most of the early small engines Carburetors is 2 1/2 turns out on the MAIN JET , and 1 1/2 turns out on the idle jet . Most old tractors are the same way . Most likely cause of the flooding is it has the wrong needle on the float. You said the float needle fit very loose . All of that oil on top of the piston was probably the remnants of the Marvel Oil that you had dumped in the cylinder earlier on .

Man does that take me back! Must have been 1964, my neighbor gave me an old home built bicycle frame that had a motor mount, and no peddles , a pulley where they should be and such. He said he never did get a motor mounted but grew up and bought his first motorcycle, an old Harley. So there I sat, with this frame, and my 1 dollar week allowance didn't get me much as far as parts, so I scrounged around the garage and found a Maytag washing machine gas engine. I played with her and got her running, mounted it, but I didn't have a belt but I found one at the dump ground, it was very elastic, so I built an idler arm sort of device for a clutch and got it all together. That old Maytag didn't have a lot of power but it was enough to give me the thrill of my first motor powered bike! I went on to own lots of motorcycles but had to give it up after becoming disabled, GOD how I miss motorcycles, hell I miss life as I used to know it, but it all comes with age, and videos like this give me a bit of that same feelings, so thanks much for making an old man young again, at least for forty minutes or so!

So, why don't you replace the rings, get it running really sweet, then get it all shined up, cleaned and polish the unpainted surfaces, and repaint the ones that are? Aren't there collectors of such things that would pay good money for a restored vintage piece? When I was a kid, we'd take motors such as this one, without the gear reduction and mount them on homemade go karts. we used to play with the pipes too, adding this and that to see what we could make the sound do. We had lots of plumbing parts laying around, so we'd configure them in dozens of ways just to see what it would do. We accidentally got one to run so quiet you couldn't tell it was running if you weren't looking at it, but the 20 feet or so of pipe and bends and what not that took was a bit impractical. Only worked with the clothes line to hold up the end of it. Seems to me you're getting them running is ony half the job.. they should look like they used to look too, before time took it's toll.

it had no control on the high side and only the idle did so when in rome well you know, or else thats how l would set it up,

Top man! 🇬🇧

[@richardwelcher4836]

I just loved to see you bring back old engines. Good stuff!

[@tolbaszy8067]

Why aren't there any cats in these videos? Thanks for the otter footage! They are as good as cats, maybe a little better!

[@OldF1000]

The mice put a contract out on them. Never mess with the mouse mob ; )

[@RANDALLOLOGY]

FYI Musty is a dog lover. A big kitty getting in the middle of his work would be funny tho.

[@ebutuoyebutouy]

Also don't understand. So much rodent damage. Downside is there would not be any nesting owls in Mustie's storage tent. Cats rule. Lol

[@kd5byb]

@@OldF1000 Mouse mob = hahahahahahahaha awesome!

[@feel7251]

cats are oxygen thieves who wants to work in a rarefied Atmosphere LOL

[@quadfunpi]

I love hearing that sound of the old engines putting.

[@jackmarlon3183]

That isn't a 5s but it is a nr6 Briggs a nr6 is a 5s with a 6 to 1 hear reduction

[@aleblanc3547]

It's a great video like all of your other ones, Mustie, but that "coming up" bit at the end was killer. Thanks, Man. I can't wait the see the rest of this one.

[@brianeaton3734]

Can’t call it wrenchin’ if you don’t bust a knuckle every now and then.....

[@MrLangDog]

Love the glass sediment view bowl and even the aux tank!!

[@charlesmoore3321]

[@ZippoVarga]

Not a 5 or 6S. More like a model 8 Darin. Zip~

[@MicheIIePucca]

Loved watchin' you work your way through the "steps" of resurrection.. thank you!

[@dnomyarnostaw]

Oh the memories. 1952 BSA Single and 1938 Harley Davidson rebuilds. It all comes rushing back.

[@davidk6271]

Always love to see these old engines come back to life. Thanks for sharing
