Part-13: 3hp Briggs and Stratton engine overhaul

Trust me, this one is worth watching until the end.
This time I try to resolve the two problems from the last video, a leak in the inlet manifold and the carb flooding issue. Then we have another start attempt. Naturally I don't have the correct materials to make a new gasket so I used glue instead. It's not super strong stuff so hopefully I will be able to disassemble it again if needs it!

@oldtrucker63 Thanks! :)

[leasecleaning]

sounds great!!! Great job! next time clamp it to a base when starting so you can control it better.

[gpzDave]

@leasecleaning Thanks! And yes I should have bolted it to a bit of wood or something, to be honest I never thought it would bounce around so much! :)

Cheers, Dave.

Great job Dave :D Good to see you stuck with it and got it running! I'm betting you're already thinking of new projects you can start working on ;)

[gpzDave]

@EngineTalk Thank you Geir! Yes the next project is to finish the Honda GX140 Project I started last year... if I haven't lost all the bolts :S

And I look forward to your next video. :)

9 months! thats crazy, good persistance.

i bought a briggs 3hp today, not nearly as old as yours.

took me 9 minutes (not 9 months) to get running:

mount to blocks of wood

dissassemble, clean, and reassemble carb.

clean out gas tank.

add oil, add gas.

pull cord.

ill make a video some day

You've really been doing a good job on the engine and it's looking good, stay consistent on it you will have it running like a new. 

[mrawesome14b]

the flywheels fine its too rich or two lean dont beleive me look at my motorized bike vid runs fine on light flywheel that engine just needs some fine tuning

[TheAstro30]

flywheel's not heavy enough

[kdougall652]

wen are you makin a new briggs video ? ? ?

[blakegorman69]

yeah he's right. Either the float is sticking or the needle isnt seating properly in the seat. It would probbably help to install a new seat.
