- This engine was given to me by my friend.
i think this is a lawn mower engine or something similar due to all the grass inside it
i did a full engine rebuild complete strip down and re build paint and clean up i sand blasted every nut and bolt it was a real pain in the back side there is allot of work i did off camera for this engine over haul and restoration i timed up this small engine i did the small engine points and ignition timing and coil
the points on a brigs and stratton engine arnt hard to do
it was a bit hard to start the engine after the re build but it ran perfectly - Фільми й анімація
I get a lot of hate on my videos id like to address.. when people ask me why I don't do things a certain way and buy new parts the reason is I don't have the spare money I'm just a normal working man with a family I'm not a rich UA-camr I don't have a good job anything like that I'm just a normal guy working 50 hrs a week like you.. I would have loved to buy a new air filter and gasket set for this engine but I've got 3 children to feed and I don't have the money to buy it my daily struggle is the same as yours believe me.... it cost me £50 to do this little project for primer paint oil silicone etc all paid from my day job and hard work ... I just make videos because I enjoy doing it in my spare time and for people to enjoy if they like it...... I don't claim to be good at this stuff I'm just learning as I go on.... just remember everything I use in the video I've paid for by working at my normal job no one gives me anything so a lot of effort goes in on top of the actual restoration to get the money to pay for things I use on the videos ... I do my best hope you understand a little bit now why I do it as I do hope one day I will be able to do it better but keep with me guess i carnt get any worse. Billy
I am like you. I am just an average guy who works hard, but doesn't have a lot of money.
I don't always fix things the way society thinks I should. But I take pride and do it the best I can.
For the critics, I say to hell with them. Most of them are the type of people who need detailed instructions on how to use a roll of toilet paper.
Billy Fix I feel ya man! Don’t worry brother, I loved this video and you did a kick ass rebuild refurbish. Keep em coming when you can👍💪💪
Billy just keep doing what you do. You got my subscription! The couch mechanics pay no attention to. Opinions are like assholes everyone has one
Ha ha. No criticism here. Just admiration.
Looks good to me keep up the good work
I am a mechanic , it’s my profession. I give you credit for trying your best with what resources you have. Keep posting videos over time you will get better. Stay busy 👍🏽
i dont care what others say. i think you did a great job with the resources available. Another Billy from Germany
Other then the RTV on every thing. And the painting inside the engine and sandblasting the valves . He did a nice job. But in the end the engine had a rod knock. You could even see the play in the rod when he put the rod cap back on. But in the end it did run. And looks nice. I give him credit for trying and he will get better over time
Great job Billy and Clemson Orange to boot. Brought back memories of my dad showing me how to work on B&S engines like this in the late 70's. His name was Billy also.. RIP dad.
I admire anyone who restores what we now a days consider "antique" machinery. Very informative and very entertaining as well! Wonderful job and thank you for sharing with us!
Oml that DIY piston ring compressor! That was such a good idea… How have I not thought about that already?! Genius! 🙌🏻
Man keep it up but I gotta say when you was removing the bolt , pounding the top of the cylinder assembly with a screw driver I was worried you would skin it up and the gasket wouldn’t seal. But it did! Good job!
Brilliant resto mate! I love the improvised piston ring compressor and the cloth filter.
In my opinion, it looked good and ran good. What else would a professional mechanic have hoped for? I think you did a great job. There's a lot to be said for getting the job with what you have as opposed to having everything you need. Keep it up!
Congratulations! You are a very skilled mechanic. Your home-made piston ring compressor is downright ingenious!!
Wonderful video. Brought back some great memories. I don’t think I saw you pull the valves but I might have missed it. The really high hour units I have rebuilt will get a lot of slop on the valve guides so that is something to check.
Awesome restoration, enjoyed watching. I have a B&S engine that I removed from our old lawnmower, that I intend to rebuild after this lockdown is over. Thanks for posting.
Thanks for posting this video.
I have two similar engines here (in Australia) unfortunately, one let the conrod escape!, but the other one which is attached to a pump, is complete, so you have motivated me to "see what it's made of!".
Top shelf video! No need minding the haters. Keep up the good work! Working hands get calloused, and so will you! Do this because it's fun for you! That's all that matters! Subject was good, engine was cool, length if video good and you probably motivated thousands to try something like this because it's not so daunting, and you did it with what you had! Enough of the pep talk! Chin up, forward you go! Thanks for posting
What a guy thank you 🙏
This guy is a good mechanic knowing his mowers he can teach you alot
Well done. For future reference (which you may not see as this is 3 years later) that cup inside the carb diaphragm cover goes OVER the spring in the well and serves to protect the diaphragm from puncture by the spring.
If I may say this video is simply fantastic! Very nice and clear to understand, well done!
Was good to see you used a liberal amount of lube on reassembly... that is key for extended engine life on start up. I have seen some vids a few years back where lube was either not used at all or was minimal. Nice little engine, looks good and sounded great and another one saved from the scrap heap. 🛠️👍
I think he did a good job well done wish i could do something like that you make it look easy.
Gotta be happy with that result 👌
IMO you're right up there with machinery restorer! keep it up!
You restored it and it runs, anybody that dislikes this never took the time to do it. I love to see an old engine running like new. Good job man
this entire comments section is everyone bashing and complaining. leave the Mann alone. does the motor run. yes. does it leak. no. if y'all want to see it doe your way the do it yourself and post it to you tube.
Most people in the comments think there know it all's and most likely never worked on a engine in there life I've noticed a lot of people that do videos like this are turning the comments off so they don't have to deal with the know it all's.
Retro86 yea I’ve noticed that. People thinking they know better, but not much you can do about it but let them do their thing.
Great job! I have an engine just like that one. I will hopefully be doing the rebuild and if it turns out nearly as good as yours, I will be delighted. Thanks.
Remember the Shop Prime Directive - "Don't bleed on the work". 🤣🤣
I have work doing gardening work since 1990 and i see to many gardeners buying Japanese engines but me always American Briggs and Stratton my favorite make easy-to-use , repair , and all ways parts available. Thanks for sharing this video
Japanese engines are good. Honda builds their small engine's in North Carolina, more than even Briggs does anymore. Briggs did make some Vanguards in Japan too.
Its not the Japanese ones you gotta worry about. Its the crappy chinese ones.
Great vid ,work with what you have like back in the day filling gokart tyres up with exspanda foam I remember that working pretty well 👍
I have the exact same motor, and I'm planning on restoring this motor also. Thanks for the video.
Nice repaint 👍🏻
Thanks for the paint can and hose clamp idea lol it's better than 5 screwdrivers and a band aid
You did an excellent job there mate! Keep the videos coming .
Great work man! I’m currently working on a 72 5hp B&S for a mini bike.
Very nice restoration !
Whilst I personally would have made gaskets rather than all that silicone. It's good job, looks nice. Well done.
Dude, that engine is gorgeous!....great video
I'll bet you learned a lot. Looks great!
Nice job!... especially with an old Briggs. It has been my experience that the only thing that wears out on a B&S engine is the pull rope and rope rewind spring. I was really expecting to watch you pull on the rope and adjust the carburetor to no avail before throwing the engine in the junk pile.
Great job mate! Do not let trolls get in your way just ignore all hate that comes along and keep do what you like to do
@TheJR1948 we are talking for 2 diferend things ...if he wishes to improve its up to him and how much he will read not only by comments in youtube channel.the ones that want to help him they will do so and he must be of that age i recon that he can handle all but the new way of beating call trolling it takes a wile to handle that and if you are soft it takes you to wrong places
Great video, beautiful little gem of an engine. Congrats.
I cried when he painted inside the crankcase.
The exhaust bolt lol. The orange and black go well together!
Beautiful job and she sounds as good as it looks. I have done a few and as to your methods...she will hold up ....NO problem...some GOOD ideas for not so rich folk like ME.
I like the ring compressor. Very cool!
Great video. Great job on the engine. That’s one to be proud of.
Wow! Love your work! Fantastic video 😀😀
Awesome rebuild brother
Had fun watching that. Thank you.
I like your videos! I think you do a good job.
Super Respekt guter Sachverstand in Ruhe gemacht tolle Leistung
Awesome restoration
Love the video.
But I'd have taken the time to shield the gasket surfaces and sump from the paint overspray.
Awesome! Thanks for sharing!
I was told when growing up if you can't say anything good, don't say anything at all!
Well said
Great Video, Loved it!!
I hope you didn't leave the over spray in the crank case. I put just a bit of light oil on the shaft before putting the bendix on and some in behind the spring for smoother pull. They were a good simple motor. Good video.
Very nice job. You are good at this.
ey man i got 2 wires comin outta the points n condenser what is the other on for?
Excellent job done, really enjoyable to watch. Can I ask the sticker for the motor looked upside down lol.
Looks pretty cool bro, them ole brigs are near little engines. What are you going to do with it?
Briggs made those little 3hp engines for years. I have a rotovator from the mid 80s that uses one.
Congratulations.
Loved it, I have one just like it I'm working on now. Where did you get the cool decals?
Great job loved watching. Definitely gonna do mine. Did you not bother with grinding and seating the valves? Replace the piston rings?
You Fixed it Billy :-)
Neat paint job
Well done lad
If you ever have a snapped bolt, there's a trick a man told me once. Take a nut and weld part of it on where it's snapped and put a pipe on the end of a socket wrench and pull it.
Que juego de herramientas tan excelente cuántas piezas tiene el juego cresent para conseguirlo aqui en Colombia,gracias😊🔧
i dont know what kils me more.the sound of the gritty sand against the lifters and bolts or the near metal on metal.oh and by the way briggs and scrap iron engines are boat anchors.
I'm getting ready to rebuild mine with my son, it was on my grandfathers garage floor since I was a kid, about 1970. Its a 1958 Clinton, 3.5 hp horizontal. Needs points fixed and check compression first. Not painting it, just patina.
I've seen a few of those. I know someone who has one if I wanted to buy it.
Whats the first two digits on the code of the model tag? Thats the year. Oh, tag was missing wasn't it. From the looks of it, early 70's. The one in the photo was 60's.
Briliant video i was going to say there was no footage of setting the timing but think it sats in you did if camera would have been useful did you use a dual gauge where do you get your information for torque settings and fluids front?
Nice job
i absolutely love your camera angles. The only thing I would say that could make your videos any better would be if you narrated
Sweet!👏
Billy, I think you did a great job on the restoration. As a retired Soldier and father, I fully understand the cost of living and the need for budgets....I just finished doing the interior and engine on a 1973 VW Super Beetle, and it took me a bit over two years, due to my budget. I have a question, out of curiosity, why the decision to omit the muffler's star nut?
Not to degrade ur service, but give it a break, u get ur discounts, don't go around announcing your past service constantly is all I was saying, I am an abrasive asshole and it is what it is, don't take it personally
@@Mike-co2si "Not to degrade your service, but I'm going to anyway"....I get my discounts? Pray tell, self-proclaimed asshole. Guys like you crack me up.
What use do you currently use?
You sandblast it a lot of stuff and painted over mating surfaces both you have to watch out for when you're doing that stuff
And all one cover head and CARB were plain not painted
I noticed you didn't remove the valves. Alit if people forget about them because you need a special tool to put them back in. A thi g I did when starting out was put small zip ties compressing the spring then cut them out when i'm done. Then just but valve compound and suction, about 15 dollars total
Great video I subbed 👍
Very good
BillyFix... what is the model, type and code numbers off of the shroud? T-Wrecks.
Model tags missing. It was a square aluminum plate, before they were stamping them, so theirs no way to know its ecact numbers. The flat square spot on the back at the very beginning is exactly where it would have been.
Hey man I can tell you're a beginner but you did a good job. I know you're getting a lot of backlash in the comment section but a lot of them have a valid point. Best thing I can tell you is listen to your comment section and I bet your next video is a million times better. Regardless of how inexperienced you are it takes guts to put videos that on the internet and you got another subscriber from me. Doing that kind of work is just like life you've got to learn from your mistakes. KEEP IT UP!!! I can't wait to see what you put out next. And if you need any pointers message me I'll do what I can to help you.
very good sir..
where did you buy all your parts?
I use my fingers on the piston rings and goes right in!
Good video showing the methodology 👍🏻 I'm doing a Villiers Mk10/12.... Where did you get the decals? 🛠️👍🏻
i make the decals my self i have a printer
@@billyfix1129 Thanks, B. That's interesting..... Can you do full colour graphics, as in for vintage lawnmowers?
I have the same engine built in 73 need to change the points week spark how did you know witch one to get I've tried to look up the armiture help please
Great for trying man 👍
Can anyone tell me anything about the engine in the picture?
It's a different model then the one getting rebuilt in the video, but i have the exact same engine and have been trying to figure out more about it.
Give us the numbers off the model tag.
It's a little 3hp Briggs and Stratton. They were designed for home equipment and I've seen them mounted on more or less anything you can think of.
You need to have a sump gasket for end play points gap 020
How fuel get into carburetor? Fuel tank below than carb.
The points set @ .20 thousandths that engin looks to me mid to late 60s?.. those carb tubes not used in 70s (I think)?.
packingten yeah the wrong carb tubes for the 70s or it’s not original
Why no gaskets?? Why paint the crankshaft seal housing?? Otherwise nice job
Hello everybody from Germany 🇩🇪
Get an easy-out kit for snapped bolts! Please LoL
silicone is the worst thing you can use for a carb flange, the fuel will eat it, always use a gasket also the muffler is going to back out of the head with out the locking nut on there, the heat is going to melt that locktite you used
I luv the cloth air cleaner. Why not buy the foam replacement. And put put air cleaner on the carb on the right way. Otherwise Ok.
great job but it appears you left the lock not off muffler
0:57 usually every 3.5 hp classic briggs engine will have their serial number either on the shroud or somewhere facing the head part of the engine. the third code's first two numbers will give the month then the next number or numbers will give the date and the last pair will give the year e.g. [ 2. 20. 77 ] the rest of the numbers i think are the factory catalog code just in case the batch of engines were to be recalled this is a technical view point i think . i know one of the other sets will give you bore stroke CC capacity torque output and soforth. im not saying im a know it all im just going by what i do in fact know and what i think is right. also with the carburetor type this one tells me your code should be on the shroud and the carburetor type also tells me your engine could be from the range of 1962 or later all the way up to 1976 or later.
Thats a 3 and it was before they stamped it. It had an aluminum model tag screwed on which was missing. 1965 and up started the code 64 and back was serial and DOM was not in those. You have to either contact briggs and give them the serial and if they cant you go to the antique briggs website and they can using the records. 1982-83 started magnetron so you'll always know if you have one before or after that year.
Also the code is year, month and day. So code 940211 for example is 1994, April 11ty, you had it backwards.
The model number gives the cubic inch of the engine. First two digits, so if it starts of 09 its a 9 cubic inch.
