Worn Out Briggs Model 9 Made Into Hit Miss Engine!

[@bbishoppcm]

With the right amount of neglect, and maybe a few vacuum leaks, ANY engine can be converted into a hit-miss engine!

[@colin_5839]

HAHA! Very true lol! Thanks for Watching!

[@RonaldDaub-v9y]

That runs pretty good that flywheel helps Don't worry about the conditioner or the compression or it wouldn't be doing that

[@colin_5839]

Compression's pretty low because of how worn it is but it's got enough to run

[@fordmuscleluis9710]

I can't wait to see more videos of this Briggs model 9 engine soon good video Colin I enjoyed It

[@colin_5839]

I'm sure you will see in future show footage and spring startup videos! Thanks for Watching!

[@tophercragg4812]

Great video as always Colin! That's quite the ingenious idea that you had for making it into a "hit and miss" engine lol. I kinda wondered how you did it and I guess now I know😁. Can't wait to see what you get up to next!

[@colin_5839]

Thanks Topher! Yup! It usually has the engine guys at the shows scratching their heads lol! It's a hell of a lot more simple than most people realize! Ohh don't worry, there will be plenty of cool projects in the pipeline! :) Thanks for Watching!

Sweet engine! I had a Simplicity model VA with the same engine on it! Sold it last year.

Thanks Eric! Those are cool machines! Too bad you sold it lol. Thanks for Watching!

I notice Briggs hit & miss and subscribed immediately !

Thanks for the sub! Appreciate it!

[@dirtfootracing8788]

Cool build...keep them spinning

[@colin_5839]

Thanks! I plan on it! :)

[@RonaldDaub-v9y]

You have to have a governor that will kill the spark but you need heavier flywheels. I don't understand why you would want to do that but go for it

[@colin_5839]

It was a simpler way to make it into a hit and miss engine that didn't require extensive machining and modification. Makes for quite a show piece too! People can never figure out how I did it LOL!

[@jayarmitage9609]

Cool video. Do more!

[@colin_5839]

Thanks! I plan on it! Thanks for Watching!

[@RonaldDaub-v9y]

It doesn't matter as long as it isn't knocking As long as it starts and runs good it's okay fix one thing at a time

[@colin_5839]

Well with my engines I always completely tear them down and completely rebuild them before running them. Oftentimes there are plenty that people had been running and the crank pins are worn way undersize and the rods are worn way oversize, the bores are tapered and out of round, and the rings have massive gaps. Sure they might run ok but I just like to go through them and make them right. That's where the fun in it is for me and also I don't want to worry about having them be difficult to start or beating themselves to death internally when running. This engine is really the only one I have that I know is super worn out and run anyways because I made it into a hit and miss engine and run it as a display piece.

[@WillSmithHitandMiss]

Great job!

[@colin_5839]

Thanks Will!

[@timeflysintheshop]

Interesting concept. I suspect it only works as well as it does because the compression is so bad. 👍👍👍

[@colin_5839]

I think so! :) I think it's a combination of low compression and a nice heavy flywheel! Thanks for Watching!

[@RonaldDaub-v9y]

The valves are fine or it wouldn't be running like that😮

[@colin_5839]

No they are in fact extremely worn out. The guides are incredibly worn so there's lots of lateral play meaning they don't seat the way they should and the valve seats and surfaces are also pretty worn based on how the valves seat. If it were any other engine in my collection all that stuff would get fixed but again this one is purely a neat display piece because of the conversion I did to it

[@nayiberrestrepo9402]

how many horsepower does it have?

[@colin_5839]

Brand new this thing made a peak HP of 3.35 at 3600 RPM, what it has now, I don't know. Thanks for Watching!

David Bradley

[@colin_5839]

Not it was actually from a Waterbury walk behind tractor, not a David Bradley. As far as I know DB only used the larger number series engines like the 14 and 19 on their tractors. Thanks for Watching!

[@RonaldDaub-v9y]

Keep oil in it and it will run forever

[@colin_5839]

That's the goal!

[@shannonking3201]

Thats not a hit and miss engine

[@colin_5839]

If you actually watched the video you would know that I made it into a hit and miss engine, I'm aware it wasn't one from the factory....
