Love it! Only one difference...
There's no way I would have gone through all that trouble without painting it.
I have A 1967 7HP and I didn’t even need to restore it because it had super low hours and all, and I mean ALL parts were original, and it had all the original gaskets and had never been taken apart. I am keeping to myself because it idles and revs like a 30s V8. I love restoring old Briggs, but sometimes it is good to just let the old paint, or rusty parts tell it’s story. I have never had it repainted, and it still looks great. Keep doing what you do!
Great series! I saved a 1971 130202 5hp from the junk yard pile the other day. Thing was sitting in a mud hole half submerged and it only took 5 mins of work to get it to crank over and run off carb cleaner. I'm currently searching for a new air filter housing and a connecting rod because they were both ruined. I love keeping these little engines running, they're so reliable.
I have a housing!
@jaybrown5906 so funny story, and I appreciate your reply. I kinda spiraled out of control with collecting engines over the past 1 1/2 years, got super into rebuilding and fixing them, I probably had around 200-300 engines and an entire 15×20 unit floor to ceiling of parts from buying out small shops and auctions, then lost interest a few months ago and I sold everything off except for a few particular parts I wanted. The 130202 in question I actually lost the block to somehow, so it never got finished
Sometimes its nice to mechanically restore engines but leave them in there "work clothes"... I also use that as an excuse to not buy paint lol. My engines are the only thing keeping me from going crazy since school (and pretty much anything fun) is closed till next year in NY. Keep up the good work Mini RoadKing! ;)
You can also set the piston back in place with 2 big zipties
Man nice videos! For the past few years I’ve been modding predator/Honda clones but I’ve recently got ahold of a older Briggs flathead from my dads place. He passed away a year ago and I found it at his house sitting outside in the elements for who knows how long. Brought it home and sanded the coil, sprayed it with starting fluid, and it popped right off. Now I want to restore (loosely) it and put it on a old minibike. Anyways your video helped me so much as I’ve never messed with a Briggs only clone type engines. Thanks for the help brother, new sub here
If you want more performance out of it, grind the intake valve lash to 20-25 thousandths or so which will bypass the cam’s compression release and it will make way more power lol
@@WildfoxFabrication appreciate that bro I’ll have to try that out
the video quality is great. you did a great job filming. Your no different from any other youtuber your like 805roadking.
bro your such have such a cool way of cleaning bolts it blew my mind
I just picked up a tiller for $25 with this same engine on it. Fresh oil and a carb cleaning/rebuild and she fired right up
That lapping tool is neat.
Awesome job man. Looks and sounds great. Ur very good at what u do. Thanks for helping me learn. I just got a gocart with a similar engine. It was seized up when I got it but have it freed now. Hoping I can do some simply cleaning and get it running. Piston and cyclinder wall look new. Intake valve was also stuck. I got it free but there is gunk down in where the valve is that I cant get to. I need to somehow get it cleaned out and tey to get it running. Thanks.
found an old 87 8hp briggs i was about to restore. thinking of filming it.
been running mine with Almost no oil, filled it up and it runs fine and still doesn’t burn any, wow the Briggs are tough
Where did you buy the gasket set? Link?
Nice job 👍
Thanks!
For all the small engines i've had apart, i've never done a 5hp briggs. I need to do new rings and clean up the valves/seats. This looks a lot easier than I expected.
Mine has the crappy carburetor with the plastic pull plug for the choke. Any suggestions for a good carb for a governed engine (wood splitter)? Any low-effort modifications that can give it a touch more chooch, like a different carb or different exhaust? I'm in the eastern US and some of my hardwoods are tenacious. I modify everything else for fun so why not 😁
Great info! Looks as though it had no points/condenser, hence electronic coil👍
the briggs engines post-1982 have the electronic ignition, those are the best
Would you the electronic coil part number for a B & S ‘73 5hp? Cheers 👍
@@stevefindlay7155 sorry, but I don't really know where to find it. I'm pretty sure a normal post-1982 coil for a 5hp would work on a '73 5hp
@@smallenginesgarage7168 hm, so if there is no electricity, I only need this part www.ebay.de/itm/133607845961
@@francimasaza8749 i think but im not completely sure, it should fit though
What did you set the coil gap to? Did you replace fuel pump diagram?
Great video!
Love it 💥 🛠
Gracias por compartir
6:50 gap ?
Nice video 😄
i did 0.006" intake and 0.008" exhaust
Nice build but man what you do about the snapped off bolt ? Why not paint that joker while you had it down? I got one like that I’m gonna do soon but when I take it down it’s going to get painted and all
I would've replaced the piston rings or at least measured the ring gaps because it made a world of difference to my Supa Swift push mower which is powered by a 3 horsepower Briggs and Stratton engine,it cuts grass much better,it doesn't burn oil the spark plug runs grey on the electrodes instead of oily & Sooty like it used to,here it is :-

Great job, and thanks for sharing. Could I ask why you didn’t lap the valves in earlier, when everything was apart? Wouldn’t you have had to pull piston, cam, crank etc all back apart again to clean up the valve grinding paste? Or am I totally missing something?
No, it’s just the next step before i put the valve springs in and close up the head. i did it in the order you see in the video. put the crank, tappets, cam, and piston assembly in, and then closed it up. then you grind the valves before setting the valve clearance, then you put the springs in and can bolt on the head.
Could you show me how the speed control levers should be connected to the carburetor? I mean the place under the fuel tank where there is also a spring and two wires that go to the carburetor. I don't have a spring and I don't know how it should be assembled correctly. Regards, Kriss
He didn't clean the surface of the cylinder lung off very well before he put the head gasket on.
Nice work
Thank you! Cheers!
Why would you go to all the trouble and expense to rebuild while keeping the old piston rings, not painting the housings, etc?
Cuz the alternative was doing nothing but watch tv for a whole weekend and that sounded lame
Really enjoyed this! Was it tough finding a service manual for this engine?
Not at all I just googled it and a briggs and stratton archive pdf came up
Hello, currently restoring the same engine for a rear tine tiller. Tiller is a coast to coast brand I would say 70s model. I cannot find the parts# for the engine and wanted to see how you and where you ordered the gasket set from? Also looking to replace the carb. I can’t compliment enough on how awesome these videos are. Good stuff
The model number of the engine is stamped on the left side of the pull start shroud and I just searched the model number and “gasket set” on Amazon and there were a ton of them
@@WildfoxFabrication just found it! Nice! Ok I will start there. Thank you sir
hahaha I know the carb it hard to mount with those scres and you have to get at it from the side
Where do you get the gaskets and parts to do these rebuilds I want to rebuild my 7hp briggs
I’m trying to get a 5hp Briggs I just got and I was wondering where you connect the positive and negative terminals for the coil. Sorry I’m a little new to this stuff, thanks!
there should be one long wire which runs down beneath the flywheel and connects to the condenser. the other wire should be short and with a loop at the end and you put that on the bolt that secures the coil as you bolt it on, to ground the coil.
Does it matter which model numbers it is on the gasket pack. Just as long as it is a 5hp briggs and stratton. Great videos by the way.
its better to be safe than sorry so id always double check its made for your specific engine model. thanks for watching!
What are the torque settings on the engine head bolts please?
Nice! My grandpa had the same compressor for like 40 years! Don't even ask me how many antique cars he painted with it! It unfortunately started to rod knock real bad last year and the parts are just to expensive. The pulley from the compressor is now the flywheel on my Hit Miss Briggs! Just keep enough oil in it and make sure you drain out all the water and it will serve you well! Just curious, why do you reassemble everything and then paint it? I thought u usually paint everything when it's all apart, and if you just paint it when it's together, what the point of pulling the whole thing completely apart? Also please tell me you bent the little tabs over that lock the connecting rod bolts in place? They are very important! I don't want to see this thing blow up on you for a silly little mistake like that! Dude, you need to get yourself a nice wire wheel! Even if it's just an attachment for a drill! They're so useful and save a ton of time with stuff like the bolts! Seems like it runs very nicely! Can't wait to see how this one comes out! This is kinda making me want to restore my early 60's 5 HP!
There is a lot of little things i did that i didn’t include in the final edit of the video because they took up a lot of time and were pretty boring, so yes i bent their rod bolt tabs over.
I don’t paint it when it’s ALL taken apart, i just take off some of the main big parts and then paint it, not a big deal, and i wanted to get three videos out of this.
Yes, i should get a wire wheel for my drill, but i haven’t yet and now that this whole thing is happening it’s even harder and i can make do with what i have.
what did you do with the motor of the compressor? they’re nice big 230v induction motors not worth throwing away at all.
@@WildfoxFabrication Ohh ok good! I figured that was the case, but just wanted to check! Interesting, I take the RoadKing approach to my restorations. I don't think I would have been able to do my NPR6 resto without a wire wheel! Then again, I strip all the paint off before repainting... Don't worry, I saved the motor! I have quite a few large motors like that kicking around, you never know when they will come in handy! I actually use the belt from time to time , and the small pulley that went on the motor side is going to get used in an engine project soon too! Maybe with this new big compressor, you could get a paint sprayer for all your restorations! :)
Love the video but to honor my shop teacher i need to tell you to get proper torque out of a torque wreanch you need to be holding the handle.
Well for one he didn't lock the rod bolt locks!
I did
What are the torque spec for all the bolts?
ile oleju wchodzi do silnika? 0,6 litra?
im curious im trying to do the same thing what tools are using like oils and stuff you need to put the engine back together and take it apart
just a standard ratchet and socket set and some 30 weight oil
How much is the valve gap in mm? And in wich Position stand the piston?
How much oil does it take I have one and wanna change oil, but don’t know how much to put in it or what type
10w-30 for normal temperature operation, and you just fill it up to the top of the filler opening on the side, not exactly sure how much but its not a huge amount
@@WildfoxFabrication ok thanks
It's 6dl oil for empty tank ;) Just refilled one generator that had the original measuring stick.
Brather, can I ask for the link to buy the part kit, I want to restore it but in my country there is no part kit, such as seals and others
If you have access to Amazon that is where I found mine
It's weird the older Briggs don't have crank bearings. Literally just a hole in the case 😂
Bearings, bushings, whatever works eh 😂
@@WildfoxFabrication Well some of the older Briggs had Ball Bearings, I depends on what they were used for... (My Briggs powered water pump from the 50's has ball bearings, and I am sure there are older ones that have em too!)
@@colin_5839 yes, my model 23 is a 23fb which means it has flange mount holes on the pto side and it has ball bearing shaft mounts
@@WildfoxFabrication Yup! My Pump engine is a Model 6FB! What did your 23 come off of? Do you know?
I don't, im assuming it was on a yard tractor at first, hence the flange mount.
Wish you had showed connecting the linkages
oh, sorry! i’ll make sure to include that in part 3!
Thank you
Where did you get your gasket set?
Amazon.com just like all things 😉
I know it's not Amazon but it should be the full set
Does anyone know the ring gap for this exact engine?
Hey man i cant find those gaskets anywhere. Where did u order them from?
Also what lubricant or oil stuff did u use for the reasembly i have a motor just like that and im thinking of doing the same thing
Gasket set was just purchased on Amazon by searching the model number of the engine and i just used normal 10w-30 oil
And Possibly all the stuff i will need
What's the recommended oil amount for these?
not sure what the measurement is but the correct way is to fill it until right before it starts spilling out of the fill port
It's 6dl oil for empty tank.
Soaking the bolts in vinegar is NOT a good idea as it WILL cause hydrogen embrittlement, reducing the strength of the head bolts and rod bolts. If you MUST use an acid to clean up the parts bake them in the oven at 350 to 400F for 8-24 hours within 2 hours of acid contact. I once soakes a bycycle chain in vinegar to remoce rust and when I installed it it snapped like glass the first time I stood on the pedal - - -
Mate is this really true? Have never heard this mentioned, and I must have watched thousands of hours of men in sheds cleaning metal with vinegar or phosphoric acid.
I just use degreaser and evaporust but would be good to know if acid cleaning is harmful. Baking in an oven sounds tedious also tbh
Were can I find the sticker kit that you used
the gasket kit?
@@WildfoxFabrication didn't you put new stickers on it?
Where do you get torques and gap specs?
its easily available on google. look up your model of engine and then the torque spec you're looking for. for example: "briggs 130202 rod torque spec"
you can also email briggs support directly and ask for torque specs for your model
that too! 😂
Taking an engine apart, doing a half assed job of cleaning the parts, then putting new gaskets is not a "Full Restoration" of that engine.
there’s a lot that I dont include in the videos because its boring or not entertaining, or I just didnt film it
@@WildfoxFabrication Ignore the trolls man. They ain't worth it.
@@mattfleming86 He didn't even clean off the old gasket residue on the crankcase or cylinder head. Didn't clean or check clearance on piston rings or hone cylinder. Didn't clean the rusty off the magnet or coil pickup. Didn't clean the external OR internals on the carburetor. Wouldn't even BEGIN to call this an "OVERHAUL". Most likely classify this as "Throw away money".
Craigslist rebuild 😅
Moi
Jee :D
my rebuilds are better than this!
@Owen Anonymous HAHAHAHA!!!!!!!
LOL I like how people use the term “ Restoration “ when they reuse 99% of the old parts and the ones they do replace it’s cheap-o amazon China aftermarket parts, no cylinder honing probably reused the piston rings lmao 😂
@@mgoody8782 well if he just replaced everything there wouldnt be much that was being restored. Also not everybody gots tons of money to dump into new pistons and genuine name brand carburetors. Looking at this from the perspective of a "How To" video id say its pretty good because it says how the average Joe can take an old rusty engine and make it into a beautiful show peice or a nice engine for a vintage minibike build
ah yes I am Joe now
you have a strange definition of the word "restoration"
How to get the bearing gear back on when it won't go back on easy like it came off ? Can you help with a suggestion please
What bearing gear?
