Hi Zippo, I enjoy all your videos and appreciate your spot on tech data, I will be posting videos shortly, and wanted to pass along a tip to all that I found out. on letter series Briggs A,B,K,Y,Z,ZZ ,the older ones before 1942 were equipped with a 62235 oil retainer on the flywheel side ,not a true seal it would pass oil and eventually coat your points , making you lose spark or misfire, Briggs introduced oil seal # 290013 as the fix, and it fits pre 1942 as well as after 1942, a true seal.

@MrZorrack That's a fantastic tip to know for us old Briggs nuts!! Please submit a request to imbed your video to this one and I will get it approved. Thanks a bunch for taking the time to comment and for the great tip!!

Congrats on your discovery. The points on my 10hp have always been a glitch, even after I bypassed the mag and substituted a coil. I'll see how they work together, once the weather clears, and I can pull the head to check the valves and the piston/rings.

@GrincheyOne I had an old 9hp that was real picky that way too. Looking forward to seeing that old landlord back up and ready for snow duty!!

That's a sweet engine, love the old Husky sticker on the tank too!

[ZippoVarga]

@CSAKvids One side of the tank shows the Huski decal better than the other side, but there are still a few words I can't make out. It was made for Bolens though!! Fine print at the bottom of the tank told me that much. Cheers Charles!!

thats so cool that your daughter is getting into things like that, not many do, and great engine :-)

[tylerervin05]

just asking, but how old is your daughter?

[Hallaran]

Not too bad for being over 65 years old - thanks for the video!

Nice fine Zippo

Great video. I was anxiously waiting to hear what the problem was. I don't do very many old points style engines and even some of the ones I do, I change over to electronic.

@Ram2253spd Heya Ram!! Yep....she loves learning about these old engines and has a knack for troubleshooting like her old man.
