Not only are you the best at this, you never hesitate to share knowledge. That is a sign of a confident, generous man. And it goes without saying that yours is, by FAR, the most entertaining of all the repair channels.👍👍👍
I'm still laughing at the mumbling an the burp...lol...
When I was 9-10 years old I came across an old Briggs engine nearly identical to this one. Grandpa said it hadn't ran since the 1950s when they got electricity on the farm, and I could just have it. I bolted it to a board just like you did, and after a month (in the summer of 1975) of dinking around with it, I got it to run. One day Grandpa and Grandma came to visit, and I showed Grandpa I got his old engine to run. He couldn't believe it!
Also mentioning old Kohlers, I have a K160 I have been messing with.
Thanks for the memories!
I have I k181s that my uncle gave me he told me that my dad had blew up so I get to rebuild it it is my first rebuild
Back in the day, we were taught how and where to run these washers. Same in the dry cleaning biz when petroleum was used as the cleaning fluid. Those that didn't pay attention weren't long for this world. Similar with fireworks. The shame in all of this is we no longer teach our kids much of anything. Guys driving around unable to change a tire.
..yeah..can't even drive..they can't shift gears or use a clutch, have to have an "AUGER-MAJIC", can't even do basic driving because they have been conditioned to depend on all the "Technology" to drive for them.... :(
...and they "passed" there driver's license on the "inner screen"!!😱🥴
I'm an old man and worked on small engines as a sideline when younger and still do some work on them now and then. I can relate to many of the older ones you work on and I especially liked this one. You have a definite talent and in my opinion after watching many of the channels on the subject, you are the best my friend. You have a great channel and deliver the best damn entertainment I've seen on here. Thanks for the hard work you put into your videos...it shows in your results. I'd like to know about where in northern Indiana you're located. I'm in the middle of the state about 5 miles from the Ohio line, 70 miles east of Indianapolis on U.S. 40.
Terry, I agree with you 100%. Well said! Best of wishes to you Sir. :)
After the first brapp with the air impact I'm screaming "nooooo stop, left hand threads!!" Whew that was close!
Love the old stuff. Every year at the fair (no fair this year😒) they have a bunch of hit-miss engines putting away. I would love to see Taryl get one of those.
You from MN?
@@bstevermer9293 from OH but live in NY.
I was gonna say the same thing. there's clubs that restore these pieces of history all over the nation. check it out. they would love to have you and your dinner.....d.e.
I used to set up every year I had Delco light plants and maytags and these and whatever I could buy
As you know these are the simplest carburetors ever they're called mixing valves same on the model y they don't even need a float pure Venturi suction from the tank.
Great video. I love it when you get the old stuff running again.
I agree! :)
Lol
Dont have to get old to not see. I been legally blind since birth. My good eye has 20/200 rating.
Dad ta8ght me when i was young about these engines. Love watching ur videos. Never knowv what ull work on next.
Keep up the great imformative videos.
Id love to see a kickstart model on a gokart or minibike.
It's amazing that the flywheel from a motor that is 50 years newer works. I hope that Briggs parts and support continue to be available through this BK. Love the sound of a cast iron B&S, and their low idle speed.
I had one on my lime green little Indian mini bike
Man, I had one of those! When the engine went out we'd push it up the hill and take turns riding it back down. I'd love to still have it and put a harbor freight motor on it.
I have a B&S snowblower engine made in 1967. I also have a 1987 snowblower engine. The starter from the 87 also fit and worked perfectly on the 67 engine.
In Boise Idaho back in the 50s when I was a kid, our next door neighbor washed her clothes in a gas washing machine out side and I used to watch her wash them with that old ringer washing machine with a Briggs motor she would start. I thought it was cool back then and always will remember small engines as I grew up which led us to larger engines in cars and motorcycles and lawn mowers etc. Those were the days. And yes I am old.
It will be interesting to see if the old parts will still be available when the new investor takes over at Briggs.
You can just about bet that they will remove everything useful from the internet, for no logical reason. Seen this a lot as electronics and computer companies were absorbed in the 80s and 90s.
@@tonyfremont They do not want the old stuff repaired they want it binned and new ones purchased.
NOS parts are a goldmine as long as collectors are willing to pay a premium price.
Briggs who???
I wonder what kinda crap engines they’ll start putting out next
I love watching Taryl, hes like the Briggs and Stratton surgeon. I rebuilt my 5 horsepower Briggs on my restored Robron go-kart after watching him 2 years ago. Great needed detail.
What a great job of thinking outside of the shop (box) . Thank you Taryl and crew. You are on my bucket list of people to visit and thank for all I have learned from your channel. Will visit you and your city soon, Thanks again!
I came up on an old Briggs engine in a lien sale, it was a ww2 military engine tagged as a replacement engine for something. It had never been installed but the coil had decomposed. I’d never seen anything like it, all the coatings on it had turned to dust. Anyways we had a local surplus store that sold a lot of old stock military parts and they had one but said it was for aesthetic purposes only because they wouldn’t warranty it working, but I started asking around on collectors forums and a guy pointed me to a site that sold new replacement coils, it was just the coil pack and you had to press it on the frame yourself but it worked great. I’d tell you the name of the site but I can’t remember to save my life but I can tell you it was dedicated to restoring those old engines
I just finished watching this video. Really enjoyed the character that was going to knock uncle Andy’s block off. He really makes me laugh.
I love the enthuziazims Taryl has for this work, I can say I have really learned things
about these engines and how to do a valve job or lapping. thumbs up Taryl
Another excellent how-to on older Briggs engine. Great to see so many characters in one vid. Thanks guys.
"You ripping me off" what does that even means lady?😂😂 You the best taryl
Taryl = Pure Genius, you my friend have a lot of years of knowledge, great video and a new subscriber.
Interesting interchanging those parts for electronic spark. Nice to see the old gal running sweet. Nice work. Great comedy too, thanks all👍
When I was a kid (14) we used a washer machine engine on a go cart. Not very fast but at 14 it was awesome fun
We had one of these engines back in the 1950s' It had been on my grandmother's washing machine. It has a long flexible metal hose that ran to the exhaust. This was used to take the exhaust outside. Wish I still had the engine. I am in my early 70s and it would have been fun to show it to my grandkids.
Thanks for the info and part numbers. I got the flywheel and the coil and the old WMB fired right up and ran like a champ. I would have never thought that they would be the same enough to work . Thanks Again.
Runs like a champ now. When I was a kid, I took apart a 3 horse cast iron briggs off of an old water pump my dad had from the 1950's. Well like lots of things we do as kids, it never got put back together again. I wish I had it today. I wanted to see some cement shoes and Podunk lake, lol.
Thank you. I used this trick on my Briggs and Stratton 5s to get it running again. I am now able to use my Excello reel mower again.
Awsome!!.. Taryl + Team are the best in their unique category!!..
😊🇺🇲💪🏆🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Taryl thanks for bringing these old engines back to life! Would be neat if you could find a vintage washing machine to attach to to!
I use to make a lot of spark plug or coil wires and I bought a roll of Packard 440 copper core wire made for that purpose from J. C. Whitney & Company.
Bought lot of stuff from them 40+ years ago. I miss their catalog ☹️. I lived way out in the hills of E. Tennessee & couldn't run to town every time I needed something, but the mailman ran by my farm 6 days a week.
This is great stuff always learning something without spending a ton of money to fix it Thank you Taryl !!!
I really enjoyed this one! I suppose I'm an "old soul" and love seeing old things run again. Please do a follow up video of you fixing the kick starter! :) Best of wishes to all.
Ditto from me too Taryl. Let us know when and how ya fixed that kick starter.
" THEY'RE PROBABLY DIRTY PEOPLE " LMFAO, HAD TO STOP VID. FOR A MIN. OR 2, DAMNED NEAR PISSED MYSELF.
That made me laff too
The price some people have to pay for clean laundry, to die for it.
Me too!🤣😅😆
I'm changing right now.....sh....t
Hello terry Stover, I got back into fixing generators last winter, sort of by accident, I have
2 generators I maintain and they are always ready, 'cept last year when I moved up to N.E.
apparently gas valve got moved to the ON pos. 1st time since 2014 I could not get'er
going when I needed to. I hadn't pulled a carb apart since the 70's! yet watching the flying
dinosaur which is what a TARylDactal is I had No problem at all and got her running again.
Yeah Taryl is a well talented gent at what he does and the way he is kind to help us out
there to get/and or keep our engines running and giving some great entertainment.
You got that engine runnin so sweet, just open the lid of the washer and the laundry gets flung out onto the clothesline! I appreciate your workmanship Taryl, and all the work by the crew for these videos!
THANK TARYL FOR YOU TUTORIAL VIDEOS.....REALLY HELPFULL...
Great granny had a gas powered washing Machine, she put great value on that machine, she would not let anyone get close to it. It amazed me when she used it once a week and always had a big smile. She got an electric model at some point and the old gas job turned into a big flower pot, she loved flowers.
You the man Taryl. I use your Guru knowledge all the time when I fix anything. Thank you my brother. Oh oh what do you mean lol
Never ever seizes to amaze me. Thanks Taryl and Team!
Taryl is the Briggs & Scratten authority. Big Billy Briggs would be proud!
Taryl, your knowledge and ingenuity are truly amazing. Thank you for sharing them in these entertaining videos. This one prompted me to remember my dad (born 1922) telling about using an engine he took from his mother's old washing machine to power one of his go-karts. I don't know if that's when she "went electric" or just got a newer gasoline powered washer. Cheers.
Your the best, and you make your video's a lot of fun to watch! Thank you.
Nice to see Dr Taryl wrenching again!!! When will we see part two of slip dogs rebuild? Thanks for sharing doctor!!!
I love when you do antique moto rebuilds,, thumbs up he he he
Taryl loves fixing up these old glacier melting anachronisms. Somewhere out on one of the islands in the Pacific some poor schmuck woke up to a living room full seawater. "Wake up everybody and gather around," he says to his 15 tiny little children. "Taryl must have posted another video on youtube!!!"
Taryl never disappoints - a true master !!
Very fun to watch and creative fix
Well done taryl. You are the man when it comes to making Briggs and Scranton engines work. I like the cross referencing other parts that will work too. Keep up the great work and make sure you keep stranglers out of your shop too. Feed your dinosaur also.
I’m so old school that I actually like the smell of Indian Head gasket shellac.
Wayne Swicegood . And don’t forget the handy , no mess swab applicator. 😊
i think that was diluted down tar
dan o Great on hot biscuits in the morning.
Will Permatex consider changing the name of the shellac?
@@paultennis9414 Hah... Yeah - The Gasket Shellac Company - Now nobody's feelings are hurt...
Your cameraman does a great job!
I had one of those Briggs, complete with kick start. I put it on my minibike, a Hiawatha Doodlebug, when I was 10. It wasn't the fastest minibike in the neighborhood, but definitely one of the coolest.
I have an old Whirlpool; wringer washer in the barn that came with a WM engine. Mom and dad's house burned in 1938 so it was just after that when they got it. We got electricity out here in 1947 and dad put an electric motor on it. I still remember mom washing with it on the back porch of the old house in the early sixties and heating water in the wash pot. That was a good dinner by the way.
"The guy who doesn't have all those fancy tools . . ." BINGO -- THANK YOU !!!
Hi,
Really enjoyed the video. My Aunt who lived on their farm near Quarryville, Pa. had one of those old gas powered washing machines in her cellar. I never saw it run but it was sure nice to see you bring this one back to life.
John
I suggest putting that Briggs engine on Slipper's wheelchair so he can be first in line at the Old Country Buffet!
LOL Nice one!
I see Taryl has an epoch-appropriate desk phone with a corded handset! Very cool.
very nice, that was fun... Beautiful runner
awesome fix Taryl love your video's they have helped me many times -- BTW i love your calender girls on the back wall ---woooo woooo there's your DINNER!!!
That was absolutely brilliant Taryl
1936, 86 years ago cool. You put a lot a work in that. Good job.
I had one of those B&S valve tools decades ago .... center pin, then 1 on each side to spin the valve .... found it in my grandfathers tools .... nice job on the valve job
Just found this channel a few days ago. Awesome stuff . ✌
nice job sweet running b=s,cool coil swap thanks for info,
SInce Taryl knows the ins and outs along with having a commanding knowledge of the strengths & weaknesses of B&S engines for the past 60 years or so - they would be well served to have people like him hired on a consultant basis to improve the design of their modern engines...the QC function of those improvements would be left up to them. I own an American made 15 yr old B&S engine and it runs perfectly with simple maintenance. Never pulled the rope over 3 times ever to start and most of the time it fired off on the first pull.
Keep up the good work taryl
Love this channel!! Taryl, I have two Korean War Era generators. They have been sitting many years but ran when I put them away. They are 12v generators that were used for communication equipment that could be transferred to a vehicle. I was 18th Airborne commo so I've acquired a few things here and there. I'd love to see you make them run. You're welcome to both. They should not be junked. It's military history. For their age they are in good shape. I can deliver them to your shop if you are interested.
Love the retro rebuilds
M.J Q
Great Video, and repair on the WM👍
My 3 horsepower Briggs and Stratton powered lawnmower (92500 engine) started running like crap at higher RPMs & adjusting the carburetor didn't make a difference.
The ignition coil eventually blew on it so I used one off a 4 horsepower Briggs and Stratton lawnmower engine that I'm yet to rebuild,the 3 horsepower engine revved out a lot cleaner at higher RPMs then.
I have since fitted a brand new ignition coil & it runs great.
Regarding that joiner piece that you put in for the spark plug lead,you can insulate it with glue lined heatshrink tubing (Raychem) to insulate it,it will make it a neat job as well !
Ya,the Ole Basin Banger definitely sounds alot Stronger now! Good Job! 👌 B Ssfe!
Taryl, you are exactly right. I remember seeing a valve grinding tool that that had a crank on it and it had two pins that engaged in the top of the valve. When cranked , the valve would oscillate back and forth.
very neat
Love the sound effects...
Great video taryl! Cool engine. Didnt know they used them on washers!
Awesome Video. Thankyou Taryl :-)
Poor Andy just wants to help a fella out he didn’t k ow any better you gotta love Andy
Taryl you are the master!
Gr8 job Taryl!
A lot of these old Briggs share parts in my experience. I’ve had so many of them. There a great running engine. Not much power but definitely a classic
Thanks taryl and co
That looks like the really old scrap briggs we put on our push cart in 1957. My cousin and I were 6 years old and build the cart, but my father put the his Briggs on the back. My father got the engine running by belt drive starting from the table saw motor.
I loved this video!
My oldest Briggs&Stratton ''CRAFTSMAN'' engine is a 1982 5hp. I hope this baby will take place in a mini bike sometime.
Great video Taryl - as always.. :)
Loved it .
I think the valve lapping tool could have been a small nail you would put in one of the holes on top of the valve and spin the valve like a crank. In modern day you could use a small “L” shaped Allen wrench. My father used a mail in a small piece of wood.
Great video. The Briggs WM sounded like motors i was used to in the good old days.
we used a couple of these old brigs with the small low fuel tank/carb sucks the fuel up from it. to pump water on the farm. we would measure how much fuel we put in the tank for the amount of water pumped. start up and let it go till it would stop by itself when the fuel ran out. put an old wash tub over it to keep the weather out.
Steve from Annapolis keep up the good work with the oldies but goodies they're the best they always will be they run forever when they run got my vote this video is a year-old wow I didn't know that
Great video
2 hundy... 2 hundy.... ... .. . SNAP .... what a happy sound !!
Great video taryl
57:05 They had those 12 or 15 foot flexible exhaust pipes that they could run out the door, many years ago we had a couple of those pipes but they have long since went to the wayside.
Super awesome video as usual! I’m new to the channel, so I’m binge watching the entire series: love it.
-I wonder if the low usage of this particular engine is a result of the era?
Electric washing machines became more popular in the 40’s. Guess it’s possible they got it, then transitioned to electric shortly thereafter.
-As a teenager, my dad took one of these and mounted it to a bicycle and made it into a motorbike.
Thanks for an awesome video.
Man that intro was good🤣🤣👍
That was awesome 👏, now try and find the washer end of the deal and put it to good use
I’d thought about using one of these engines on a saw bench setup in the garden for sawing up firewood, really useful in a remote spot where there is no electricity
Thank you
your videos are awsome
You are the man. I got a WI. I love it
Thank you!!!
You are the best that I know
