Weird Briggs Intek 190 6hp engine "ONLY FOR TESTING AND EVALUATION"

[LaPavoniMac]

You should get a piston, push rods, cam and rocker arms and make it a working model.

DISPLAY ENGINE

[billythemowerman]

This is interesting to see. I have just come across 3 of these engines myself, never been run. Also compression less. But in the engines i have come across they have all the working parts yet the is a might big whole drilled through the piston. Apparently they were sent over to the uk for engineers to learn how they work. But yours clearly must be some sort of demo/display.

[BMX01821]

I recently jus looked up the date on mine too and i have an engine with an fd too, mustbe the same tipe of diwsplay but mine runs. Same motor as this the intek 190 but i belive mine is 5.5 hosre power unless the air cleaner cover is wrong, but i was looking at this video before and thought how weird it was to have a display engine and then i have one my self, weird huh? haha

[rhebstriet]

I have never seen a engine like that before.that's nice I hope you get it going.

[TedFnBuckle]

ahah you got a motor that is designed for display on , fd for display/

[mememojo]

it uses green technology!

[dragata1]

hey u get free parts like the head is new muffler carb pull case free parts

[cjdoby01]

I work for SEARS HOLDINGS and they use engines similar to this when training or when a new engine style comes out. Some engines come complete and others are similar, But not always missing as much.

[MO3MINI]

i would buy a new rod, piston and push rods and get me a never been used engine

[chaddler1983]

I agree with biggent85 and the FD on the motor stands for factory demo. They were used to show investers the product they were investing in

[biggent85]

I am a certified Briggs & Stratton dealer. Yea the engine you have there is a display model only. B&S think its simpler to take a partial engine to use as a display since its hard to sale a working engine after its been on display. Another reason they do this is that when you use a working engine for a display alot of times you have kids and adults alike that tend to want to play with the engine and put things in places it dont belong. Anyway hope that helps and keep up the videos.

[LynolsOffice]

@biggent85 Ahhh, thank you!

[guitargod66]

@biggent85 But what was the point of putting the valves in, along with the keepers and springs? lol

[biggent85]

why dont you ask B&S that question for yourself?

[cubcadetpuller]

do you still have this unit complete? if you do i would like to buy it as an addition to my engine collection

[handclamp]

It is quite possible that someone striped parts from it . However in this case I don't think so. I must however share this with you. We just bought a new kitchen faucet. When we got it installed and hook up the water lines there was parts missing. When we returned to the store to complain the manger was more then willing to help us. He open a new box ( so we thought) there was a used sprayer in the box as well as other parts missing. Someone had broken the seal took what they wanted.

[LynolsOffice]

@handclamp That sucks. I know someone who bought a snowblower from Lowe's only to find someone had bought it, taken parts out of it, and returned it. They tried to return it to Lowes, but Lowes accused him of taking the parts from it, and wouldn't take it back.

[cobalt120]

At least you got a functional carb, new muffler, a couple valves, a recoil starter, air filter and fuel tank.

Still a good deal for 35$. The carb alone is worth more than that.

[LynolsOffice]

Yeah actually I was looking at prices for the parts it's missing, i think it will only cost me like $50 in parts to get this engine going. It's essentially a brand new engine.

[destruction12100]

@LynolsOffice noo it woould take about 200 to get that motor running

[cobalt120]

Strange for a display model.

The starter like motor is probably used as the usual "cut away" demo engine moving parts demo drive.

I believe that it's an incomplete demo model that they were going to make a cut away, then add the piston and other components later.

Which is what they normally do when making a cut away demo motor.

Enjoy.

[morgunt]

does it have a flot in the card lol

[Mrbriggsboy]

I've got same engine(kinda) intek 190

Mine's got the FD on it - runs

That's probably a prototype engine

[pivotboy63]

thats pretty cool it might be worth alot someday

[1978buickman]

briggs makes the first engine off the assembly line a measurement model,to make sure all of the engines measure the same

[Big159Mac]

this is a joke and funny : )

[johndeeretech09]

hey im a recent subscriber. these are some great vids you have. i work at a john deere dealership in nebraska. we are also a briggs dealer. all of our display engines are complete. i wonder if some one needed some parts out of it and too them. and i do have a junk briggs snow series engine. if the head or rocker arms would work for you let me know. keep up the good work! oh and if you have time check out my vids!

[MrJohnjake]

it looks brand new

[XcarfreakX]

you could use the rocker arms off the old head and put it on the new one

[freakboy100101]

Hahaha that made my day a lttle better lol

[susanlarissa3228]

are you effing kidding me kid? get a life and meet a real woman like me

[markljesse]

i beleave its an engine that would have bin sent to componies to mock up things like moter mounts exause stuff like that to make snow blowers and pumps and what ever elce that engin was in

[jackarac]

You got to get that running

[ga1999]

This could have also been a sample sent to a school for teaching purposes. The very 1st auto shop class I took in HS we started out learning about 4 cycle engines.

[tractormandale]

I agree with you, In my class out teacher gets engines from the briggs and stratton company for free with the idea of using it to teach kids and not be used. Maybe they give engines with defects and/or wrong codes?

[LynolsOffice]

It could be for that. B&S donated a bunch of engine to my old HS back in the '60s. My guess is it was shipped complete and someone removed the parts for another engine.

[douro20]

Yep, the engine is an engineering sample. Intended to be used by equipment manufacturers for testing equipment designs.

[killswitchdeath]

LOL thats funny

[nubeponer117]

?????????????????

[yamaharules163]

looks so much like a "Jiandong" or however they are named lol

[kewlolicious]

my only ideas are a store display or maybe a full size model, for mock-ups during fabrication of something

[jvanderman]

thats wierd

[mbyr31]

I've never seen that before either... The date code is certainly never supposed to actually have the date on it in that manner, and the "fd" at the end of the other code there must represent "for display" or something to that effect. Anyways, kind of a cool find though!! Maybe that starter will work on another engine too!! Make sure everything is in that carb, maybe that'll work too!!!

[phill903]

I think it is a display engine.

[Motorfordtoyota]

I wonder if it was a concept design because I didn't think they had that style in 98 did they.?.?

[IHcubcadet]

That is soooo strange. I bet it it was a test engine that was once all together, but sum one used the parts.

[canadaeast]

$35 dollars of nothingness.

[Motorfordtoyota]

$35 of cast iron and plastic

[dangeroustoys56]

I bet its just a display model-

[MRF2FITTY]

what the fuck lol thats some funny shit

[BlakeMason2]

It's like a barbie car I found when I was a kid. It had a molded in area for 6 batteries, a place for an electrical switch, a cutout for a gear, etc., but there were no parts in it.

[carrabec99]

yeah thats a display unit i work for a large retailer and we started using these as displays instead of taking a loss of money due to it not looking new when newer models came out , surprised you got one we usually throw these non working models in our trash compactor but its cool none the less i bet it made a kid happy :)

[matts6887]

Its like u guys already eluded to; it seems to me too that this must be some sorta display or pre-production test model or something to that extent. I know Ive never seen anything like this myself before; so yea it does seem a little strange for it to have no rocker arms, etc. ur guess is as good as mine at this point lol.....

[carrabec99]

at first i thought it was a motor for the Fire Department due to the FD at the end of the part # but i guess it could have been someone with a blown motor bought this one new stole the parts off that they needed then returned it saying that it would not start ha ha crafty little bastards is what i think lol well not a total loss on your part, just swap your parts on to this motor and you could sell it for alot and no one would know better great vid :)

[pivotboy63]

ooooo that taking parts and returning it gave me an idea...

[cesar333]

Im guess it was intended for a display at a show or something.

[themaritimeman]

Wow, that is really funny! Electric start on a 6 horse is a bit over-the-top though, especially how large the starter is. lol!

[GEARHEADGUY92]

thats actually a normal small sized starter ive seen a ton of them on top end pushmowers before with like 5.5s to 6.5s hp engines-just go to home depot and you will see what im talking about

[themaritimeman]

Oh okay. It looked like an automotive starter to me. lol

Yeah, i've seen plenty of starters on small engines, but never on a smaller Briggs Intek.

[krankiev]

Yeah. i think it's pathetic that 5HP push mowers nowdays have E start... what level of laziness is this world coming to??

[killxx2]

Old people.

[krankiev]

well yes but it isn't only old people who buy them

[richthecardude94]

lol wtf thats a first lol

[krankiev]

damn.. that thing might be worth a good buck to some collector..

[RTdeluxe]

ya thats true, probably worth something to a collector.

[iamkaven]

what you should do is fix it up eh cause every thing on that "motor" is great

[bigmaaack]

that sucks yall got gyped!

[mikeycomputer]

I'd use the other Intek's parts to get this one running. Since it's so fresh, It would be a shame to just salvage it for new parts.

[LynolsOffice]

Yeah. The one I was going to use this ones head for is a rusty mess anyway. And it has a new rod and rings, so I'll just put them in this empty engine and have a brand new engine!

[mikeycomputer]

Post a vid when you do that. I wanna see how it turns out.

[8tyman8]

i think it was stolen

[revitup1965]

Nothing unusual or rare here. This is just a test engine. It is slapped together for fitting and testing of parts. The head already had vavles installed when decided to be pulled from assembly line to use in this engine. The rocker arms obviously not. They wouldn't want rocker arms knocing/slapping around anyways with no pushrods to hold them from making any noise.

[Arturaz1]

sweet, it got electric start and pull start that would be such an amazing dune buggy engine

[1944johndeerel]

i think that is a very rare find right there! i think it was briggs expirimental version of the engines to come after 2000. because i have a 1998 briggs and it more closely resembles the older briggs flatheads. from the 80s. i think someone stripped all the good parts out of it. hell put a good rod, piston cam, pushrods and lifters in it and you'd have a practically brand new engine for 1/8th the cost new!

[slowride55]

Lolololololololol that's really weird maybe a Briggs dealer thought it was a real engine and accidentaly sold it

[82agwayldt11]

I agree with wesellyoutractors, i dont remember the Intek coming out until like 2000 or 2001. If that date "code" says 98 and theres so much shit missing off it, it's probly an evaluation model and/or first attempt at that style engine. It makes sense too because they obviously wouldnt need internal parts to see how the design of it would work or look. Pretty cool and rare if you ask me. I'd fix it

[geoff390]

Next you'll find that theres no float or needle in the carby and that the muffler is just a big can!

[Chevypickups1993]

i would just buy everything it needs and you can probably have a brand new engine at 1/2 the price to replace the one that has the bad head.

[05clenharth]

there a good engine

[ils360]

that is rilly werd

[FordBroncoMower]

where is this swap meet? New Milford, CT?

[Roushfan5]

When I took a small engines shop class this summer (I showed the teacher one of your videos, he seemed somewhat impressed) Briggs, Honda, and a few other manufactures donate a lot of engines to the class. Most of them never even turn over. They are turned in the cutaways or we tear them up and down again like to simulate a rebuild.

[weirdstuffanimation6]

since its brandnew you could try putting the missing parts in and see what happens

[weirdstuffanimation6]

hmm mabey you will have to open it up and see whats going on

[WeSellYouTractors]

What I think you have is an engineering evaluation model, perhaps from a project that never came to production. This looks like a prototype to the intek design a few years before it came out. The date code says 1998, but if I recall right those intek's didn't come out until the early 2000's

Mike

[Mississippi1313]

you guys should put some parts in it,and get it running.

[zerofactor17]

yes your right fd means for display i have two of the same kind of engines like that and one of mine was stolen and vandalized so i was in bad shape lol so yours could have been a display or used for parts or stolen

[WillieWonka928D]

Probably a display or even something for a small engines class at a school and they took parts from it.

Who knows.

[mechanicojoe]

what it looks like to me is false advertisment, they may of got it from an engine shop as you say it was for display so it never ran it was just there for show, then someone buys it, takes out all the parts they want, seal it up with a new gasket and say it just dosent have any compression just to get rid of it.

[LynolsOffice]

I knew it had to compression when I bought it, but I just figured it had a thrown rod. I'm actually happier it's missing parts than a thrown rod, cause that usually damages the crankshaft journal.

[mechanicojoe]

yeah but still, thats pretty cool man!

[DannysCam]

i love mystery!! magical you got to the bottom of it!!

[justin3zelda]

Everything should be manufactured to specs, so you could put a cam, connecting rod, piston, rocker arms and push rods then have it run.

[justin3zelda]

What you have there is a test fit engine for companies to design there equiptment around, it was probably used for sears or another company. Hopefully the carburator has a float in it lmao.

[ForgetfulCollector]

I reckon the "FD" stands for "For Demonstration" and it would have been a prototype or something like that, one that was to model the outside appearance and not be properly functional.

[swabbster3]

wieard, part it out

[30GB]

wow might have been one of the first made it might worth alot

[stevensj13]

I assume it is near impossible for anyone at all to recieve on of these in any way lol

YOU ARE LUCKY!

[david94poop]

i got a new snow blower from lowes like that a week a go so i brought it back and they said i stole parts from it and now i have a 2 thousand dollar snow blower with hand warmers siting around

[LynolsOffice]

Wow, that SUCKS!

[1972FordF150]

Well I can tell you what it is. A Briggs with most the damn parts missing. But HEY it's a short block lol !!!!!!!

[pivotboy63]

i would sue them

[tjones2269]

strange

[jet62095]

Bring it back to briggs and stratton, or call them and say you've recieved one of these. They may give you a reward!
