So far i have had no problems at all with this machine or its engine. Good solid cast aluminium deck too. Lawns tend to be like this in the spring also. Very hardy mowing conditions that will test any mower to its full ...

A recent ressurection of a very old and very rough briggs 3hp flathead. Year unknown. This engine was in horrible shape when i picked it up. Between corrosion, water in the sump, and general disrepair this thing shouldnt run at all. Merely a boredom project that worked out much better than i had hoped. Even got it to cut its first strip of grass in Lord knows how many years. Its mounted to a vi...

      Thats odd. These things are a bit easier to pull than the old flatheads i recon. This one is anyway, my mother can even start it. I think yours is either due a valve adjustment or maybe a decompression valve. Theyre a very strange engine. Also check your engine brake as ive come across some that delaminated the friction material and wedged it against the flywheel. Mine has had the full safety delete treatment

      @@ils360 rated for 5hp at 3600 rpm. 206cc like the horizontal shaft 5hp flatheads just leaned on its side. The old 3hp flatheads were 127cc. And the 3.5hp classics were 148. A sizeable enough engine and torquey too which is why they seem to lug down a lot better than the modern 4.5hp ohv engines. A lot of those are only 125cc. In applications like mowers, and being naturally aspirated with a carburettor, limited valve opening duration, lower compression ratios, set ignition timing, and just overall basicness, there really is no replacement for displacement

    I plan to buy the same one very cheaply in good condition but I think there are no more new spare parts in Husqvarna services.. For example, if i need ignition or carburetor for this saw i think that is no more in services

    • @alexhickey5633

      Ignition parts for these are not cheap or easy to come by, likewise with most parts on the L65. They are a showpiece nowadays. In terms of a carburettor, one from a homelite super xl will work. The adjustment screws are long however so youll need to cut them to length and slot the ends. Welcome to vintage chainsaw collecting!
