  • At 3:54 , was that a 6.75 HP Quantum Briggs and Stratton? I just got one of them on a pressure washer, but the connecting rod is snapped, and the oil was way too low.

  • @ConkersBFDN64 it's an older 4hp quantum

  • very cool D: should I be able to spin the augers on a snow blower with it shut off. the spark plug wire is off of course. i tried to turn them and they wont move. do the wheels have to be off the ground or somethingj?

  • @ringbolt9 noo because the shear bolts are in place holding the augers to the shaft. the only way to spin them is by removing the shear bolts

  • can you put a throttle cable on an engine that wasnt desinged for it like one of the newer briggs classics

  • @Moparman58 u could but it would require the linkage to be fitted like on the older ones

  • The throttle cable on my snowblower broke just below the z-bend attached to the lever mechanism. Now, to open the throttle, I need to force the end of the (now shortened) wire completely into the sheath. I was just going to cut the sheath to provide enough wire to make a new z-bend and re-attach it to the lever mechanism, however the sheath appears to be attached to the lever mechanism. Is this normal? It looks like a small collar that the sheath is sitting in.

  • Thanks for the video so simpel and yet so easy and effective. Very clearley demostrated. Thank you very much. Steve

  • lmao he said "say your cable was really long" lmfao

  • Great vid, I use needle nose for my cable construction. Another challenge is bending the old metal fuel lines... Thanks

  • @donyboy73 ok thanks, i might try to do that. great videos

  • Thanks for the useful info I always wanted to know how to do that since I can not get

    the correct cable but can get a longer cable.
