 Hey guys Shaber 1000 here another flea market fine. I have here a vintage two horsepower Briggs and Stratton engine so Let's get it home and take a look at it. Stay tuned Okay, guys, we're back All right, what we have here We have a two horsepower Briggs and Stratton Whoops vintage it's a vintage Briggs and Stratton engine my go-pros land over there So I got here we've got a horizontal shaft at least sideways now What's now on these I can't zoom in real good with this camera guys, but I will zoom But right here There's one place you can put oil in and check it and the other one is over on the other side Now the reason why they did that was because when this was made it's only a two horsepower I mean you could use it for a go-kart engine, but It you know, there's just not much power here what they use these for was like maybe for a small tiller or You know one of them rotary Mowers Like a lawn mower that you push that had the rotary blades on it. So that way if you put it up against something you know and It was kind of in the way, of course, you can see what you know what I'm talking about. Let's say You know, it's up against something. It's kind of hard to get to you can use it this way Or if you spun it around the other way, of course, then you could get to it back here So I'm not sure what size shaft that is I'm thinking 5 8's maybe but Anyway spoiler alert guys here we go Let me show you this We got this and we have this Upcutting upcoming videos. Oh, this something super cool. I bought last week about this Did I uh, yeah zoomed in hang on there we go About this a stethoscope, but a special kind of stethoscope it has an End on it. So what this is for is if you are Let's say you're working on, you know an engine's kind of got some valve noise or something You're not sure where it is. You can take the point of this and stick it on each Cylinder and see where the noise is coming from and Once you put these on yes, you can hear it very well Haven't seen one of these in a long time and I just had to have it. I think it was like three bucks I was like here you go. Here's three bucks. Anyway, I set that out to show you that like this spoiler alert there Another spoiler alert here you guys know what this is. I know a lot of you do so whoops There you go. Anyway, that's upcoming videos So anyhow back to this I got this today At a flea market an indoor flea market, so It was pretty much the owners of the place, you know You rent spaces and they sell things for you on consignment, you know, they Just told you so much for selling your stuff for you. So We went there today on the way back from our little adventure from this weekend and That's I seen this they had a lot of stuff for being indoors It's kind of big and they had a lot of stuff and I seen this this little engine here So it brings strength engine you had 40 bucks on it. I didn't want to get 40 bucks on it But something I pulled the rope You know, it's not locked up, but it did feel like had good compression. It's clean I did take the cap off and look inside someone did train drain the fuel out of it That's good So if they took the time to do that, hopefully they started up and let it run the rustle way out What may be in the pickup tube and whatnot, but I don't think there'll be a problem. The gas tank is very clean There's no rust in it So I thought well, you know, I'll give a little pull and I gave it a pull and It kind of bit me so I knew it's got some kind of spark I don't know that's why we have my handy dandy spark tester To check for spark now this this by the way guys will not check your plug This is just telling me that the coil and the points are good To the plug now that doesn't mean, you know, well, I've got spark it says over here That doesn't mean the plug sparking. So we'll check that too, but I just want to see how good of a spark it is also guys This thing here Let me get you down here now this I Don't know what year it is. I can't See that this corporator I'm kind of trying to gauge the age of it so to speak I'm thinking Pre-80s or early 80s. I'm not sure and this this this air cleaner here I do not believe it to be original on this engine because I believe I Remember right these I believe the exhaust to be original But these had like a Closer and see what we're talking about here These had a an air cleaner that kind of you gear heads will know I'm talking about they kind of came around and went like this And then went over and then kind of Had a little jog out there for and then back over that way you could reach your your cap So I don't believe this to be original and also I think it was painted Because I don't know if you can see it on this camera or not, but there are runs in the paint It's kind of shitty to our rest of it's all really consistent now. Hang on Can you see this? Okay Someone's tape this up. Let's see what's on this air cleaner. Maybe we'll get a clue as to what the air cleaner came off of Okay Yeah, see painters tape So I don't know if they rebuilt that as far as other than this I do believe the engine to be correct I'm just not sure what era what period what time frame it's from My glasses are fogging up. It's very hot out here right now It's over a hundred heat index here in Florida But and I'm sure it's worse than that out west like Arizona you guys man. I love you guys Out there making videos in the desert for us appreciate it now just as engine maintenance and Air cleaner care it is a bricks and stratton. However, I Just don't think this is for what I've seen on them type of carburetors I don't think this is original To this engine because like I said it has been repainted But anyway Let's see what's happening. So what we're going to do at first now I Do not have a C clamp to hold this down. Okay on to my little workbench, which is a desk by the way, but I Think what we're going to do is we can go ahead and check for spark I know it bit me But I didn't really pull it hard. So I don't know how much it's got it could be a weak spark I don't know This will tell us If this lights up really really bright We've got a great spark if it's orange and consistent it will be enough to fire a plug You can do the same thing with a test light, but Right now, you know what? Let's let's go ahead and check and see what kind of spark we do have because we do know it does have spark move you over here and see if you guys can See what's happening here. Okay, so what you do is you pull your spark plug wire off You put this end on it right there That's a little loose and a little rusty, but then put Someone move it around here then put this end on to your spark plug Like I said, it's not checking your spark plug for spark, but it is checking your coil points Also for you do that on these some of these engines For a kill switch right here They would have a piece of metal a tab that would That would kind of come over this way and what you did to shut it off is you would push that tab over and Ground up spark plug in that would shut it off. It looks like the camera is fogging up, too I'm sorry guys so anyway and also down here this one does have a kill wire coming from the points or the coil I I'm not sure on this one. I can't remember to where if this is all the way back What it does is ground out here and it does the same thing as what you did up there only it does here and it grounds it out So what we're going to do it's got this Throttle cable Handle on here like this so see if I if I pull the throttle cable all the way up That takes away from there now if I go farther it pushes this rod which in turn Opens up your choke which is right here you pull it out and that blocks off air going into the intake Or into the top of the carburetor. This is actually intake over here. This is the carburetor. It's all in one Okay, so what we're going to do is I'm going to go ahead and push this back Okay, and I'm going to just pull it Right there for now That way because if it's clear up here, I don't know if it's shutting it off or not But this way I know it's not want to kill the spark. So let's see what happens there and We're going to go from there. So let's Too much stuff guys okay, so Let's get you up here to where you can see If we're getting spark or not. So it should be right there Let's give it a crank. You see it sparking It's that orange That means it does have a consistent spark every time So that means the coil and points are good, you know, maybe after it's running If it will run, I don't know it can you know, it may need to be adjusted the points clean Whatever now what we're going to do is we're going to pull a spark plug out, which is three-quarter socket I know it's not a plug socket, but I really don't care about this plug So it's a champion. I I don't care for him, but But anyway, what I'm going to use here my ratchet Happens to be a vintage 3-H drive ratchet with a swivel head. So that's pretty cool and Ratchet and driver. So let's go ahead and pull this plug out of here and we'll check first part on The plug Whatever this way it was well maintained. I mean you can see that Okay, the plug See us don't focus but Gap looks to be correct. It does look a little blackish Kind of carbon-y You know, it could need the It could need the Carburetor adjusted. It's not oil because it's not wet. So let's see if we see a blue spark on this And if we do we're good See that Perfect spark. So let's stick this back in here and I am going to go ahead and tighten it up Because if I want to prime this one I'm going to prime it over here at the carburetor not up here I hope it's not falling up too bad for you guys cause it's hot out here in this little garage Now what I'm going to do It's time to give it a whirl and see what happens now I have no gas in it whatsoever right now So what I'm going to do is I'm going to dribble a little bit in here and start here if it fires Then we're good to go. Then we'll put it on the ground. I'll back you guys up and we'll start it for the first time Now what it was like I said they tried to call the owner of the engine and Because I say, you know, they said well, what do you want to know? I said really all I need to know is if there's any wiggle room on the price I don't know if I told you or not but that 40 bucks on it They tried to call the owner. He wouldn't answer phone. She's well Sunday afternoon. He's probably having a couple beers I said, well, that's fine. You know what she said, but what we can do is we knock 10% off of that price They have 40 on it. So I got it for 30 36 bucks I don't want to be in it into it too much because I'm not buying this to keep I'm buying it to sell But I figure for 40 bucks. I can't really go wrong You know what I mean? So I Know the coil is good, you know, there's $20 right there the recoil the pull rope, you know that assembly I know, you know, there's another 20 years my money back the carburetor if it's any good, you know, there's another 20 So I'm making money on it either either way, you know The exhaust pipe the my flag probably get 10 bucks out of so so, you know, I'm already into it for Well, I'm into it for 36 bucks, but I'm already gonna make money on it. So Hang on one second. Let me get a little bit of gas here. I've got a little I don't want to to run too long guys because for the simple fact that Shoot, I think I took my bottle outside Because I have no way to hold it down right now outside. I don't care if it walks around So I'm gonna set you off just for a second and I'll be right back with you hang on guys Okay, guys What I've done here is barely put just a tiny bit of fuel in here and I put a hole in The cap just enough to dribble a little bit in the carburetor Because I don't want it to run too long and let's see if this thing's gonna run Ah Put a little more in there hit the carburetor shabby. All right, so Let's see if it'll fire force Okay, you guys ready? Let's do this Second crank Briggs and Stratton number one, baby. I love Briggs and strands. I love them awesome, so We have a runner so guess what now what we're gonna do so we really didn't I really don't get to work on it But I can make money on this and it didn't even smoke Sometimes it takes a minute for him to start smoking But what we're gonna do is we're gonna fill this tank up and we're gonna take it outside Maybe I'll put a couple blocks around it so it can kind of sit still and let's start it up See how it runs see if it needs any kind of adjustments and Let it run for a little bit let it warm up make sure it's not smoking or knocking or anything like that But when we was looking at well, okay what we did when we first looked at it I don't know I've told you we left and we went to another antique store, which I bought a pretty cool lighter That's gonna be another Spoiler or another video about a little a little lighter Cigarette lighter. Well, it's actually a pipe and cigar lighter, but any anyway, it's another video So and then we went over across street have something to eat on the Gulf Coast again in Anyway we went to a place called crackers and Like a seafood place and stuff, but it's really nice. It was right on the water so Crystal River But it's only like a mile or two off. So it's kind of like the mouth of A you know of the Gulf Coast so we was pretty close there, but it's only like 20 minutes from where we live so But anyway, we went over and got something to eat sat there had a couple drinks Well, she drank water I had a pitcher of beer and I kept talking about it She said honey if you want that engine go get it I said, all right, we will so I went over and got it brought home and here we are and it runs So if that's not worth a hundred bucks, I'll let it rot in the ground, you know But because it is vintage is I don't think it's antique But it is vintage because the carburetor I haven't seen carburetor like it's in that a long time I know the 80s they started coming out with the primer bulbs and no choke This actually had a choke on it. So it's hard to gauge it But I can find out later on I doubt if I do a video on it what I can do is I can pull the the recoil cover off assembly off and Check the fly will I may have to pull the fly will off, but there some of these did some of them I know the ones in the 50s, which I can tell you this is not from the 50s far cry from it But the ones in the 50s some of them did have the year printed on the fly will Hopefully this one does if not, I'll see if I can find some other numbers and we'll go from there So give me a minute to set this up and outside here and We'll start it up and let it run a little bit see what happens. All right, so hang in there guys Okay guys, we're back Now I did fill it up about three-fourths full Now I am going to go ahead and prime it again because we ran that out and let's start it up Let's see how it runs Okay, let me get a screwdriver and the shut off works cool the kill switch See if we'll start back up. There you go guys. I Think that's a win. Let's shut it off. I need to shouldn't be idling that fast But anyway guys, we have a runner so Anyhoo, whoops I'm gonna see my fat beard. So There's another one for you. Not really how to so I'll just chalk this up as a another flea market fine and We're good to go. I think all it might need the Another little bit of adjustment I may take that throttle cable off It's not the right one for it, but it does work, but I'm To take it off and see you know where I can get it to to be adjusted where it's not Coming off onto the kill switch to where it will idle when I was holding the throttle back other than that I Think it's going on the auction block unless I find something to put it on so that being said I'm gonna thank you guys for watching and Remember catch our video out Yeah, catch it catch our video check our video catch our video of we went to the butterfly exhibit yesterday So we're gonna do that like said gave you a couple spoiler alerts Some items as seen on TV items that I'm going to review. So I'm gonna start doing some more of them things Maybe once twice a month depends Yeah, there you go guys, so that's a runner like I said I'll do some research and when I find out about Proximately what year it is. I will let you know. I know some guys I can get a hold of That I can probably send a picture to and they'll give me within five years or what that engine is That's all I need. I just want something that way if I find something next weekend at a flea market or something That this is kind of you know that era. I can put on there maybe make a little more money, but Like I said for me, it's not a big enough engine for a good court But we'll figure something out with it. If not, we'll just sell it and take that money and buy something else to do Another video. So again, thanks for watching guys. Remember she bear the myth the man legend. I'm gone Thanks for watching guys. Have a great week. Bye. Bye now
