Briggs and Stratton rebuilt and running!

My first engine rebuild ever, and it was a great success! Thanks to everyone who helped me diagnose the problems, and a special thanks to V8Jagnut for the videos he made for me, which really helped.

Daniel can you please do Redmax vs Echo ?

I've got the video, I tried to upload it yesterday, but my dad unplugged the internet from the computer, and the upload was stopped. I'll try uploading it again today.

Great work! Many of those new briggs engines run like that, because their carbs are set to run lean, and most of them don't have adjustment screws. I think this might be the problem, but everything sounds real good, awesome job, keep up the good work!

[DanielJaegerFilms]

Thanks. Yes, that must be why it's running rough, and it doesn't even have carburetor adjustment screws.

Does the oil pump work?

[DanielJaegerFilms]

yep!

[jeffy0807]

you should never start a briggs engine without a base plate or pully's hooked up because the flywheel is aluminum so it will shear the flywheel key

now that's a good tuned briggs and stratton

[SpikeZeek]

no engine load, rich air\fuel results, spark knock. mowing grass it probably purrs

[Lunchbox21984]

Carb needs to be Adjusted,once you do that it shouldnt surge like that.

[Tunerboii2045]

did you replace the spark plug and check the magneto could be the rough running??

[TheEvanovitch]

im 14, i did my first b&g engine teardown and rebuilt when i was 12 ( ok ok, with a little help, but not much ) and it took me abouth 3 hours

[Nolimits80]

the only reason it runs rough is because briggs runs their newer motors real rich so they keep cool

[seriesioo374]

good job

[Joeyad4]

@Smallgasengine1 ok i will put it on within the next few days

[Smallgasengine1]
