if im honest i hate those briggs 3Hp i have one and i class it as a waste of space, it is so temperamental and wont relay keep running unless its flat out. i cant get the carb set up right so thats my take on it.

@mrstuart143 That's interesting to hear because I'm still trying to get it to idle properly and it doesn't want to run smoothly. I know that the carb is giving me problems, one day I'll take it apart and see what the issue is.

Where did you get that carb

[gpzDave]

@bluntblueb3ast Hi I got it off eBay, it was from a seller somewhere in England. :)

Nine months later?.....Dave you got every engine running but this one, the suspence is killing me, you sure do make great vids..........

[gpzDave]

@toddkam Hey thanks man! I'm doing all I can to get it to run but I think it will next time! :)

[mrstuart143]

@gpzDave well my one has alot of corrosion but my engine runs smother than yrs. if you want i would give you my engine for spares for yrs.

@rambomathews This engine hasn't ran at all for over 10 years. It sat at the bottom of someone's garden covered in weeds and moss before I got it, you can see that in 'Part 1' ;)

@picapop12345 Hey man, it might seem like that with the drill turning it over but trust me, it has loads of compression. See how much the drill shakes when it turns it over. I did have it running for about 8 seconds in an earlier part when I poured some petrol down the carb. Still, MO3MINI has given me a tip on the fuel mix, so I'll hopefully have it running in the next part! :D

it haz no compression
