Thank you for watching. I actually just put the booster pack straight to the starter. I didn’t do any wiring on this one as far as key switch, starter solenoid, battery.
@@oldschoolmechanic7771 Thanks Brother! I have a 13.5 hp woodsplitter and when you pull the cord it sometimes snatches back - trying to break my wrist!!!! Needs a starter bad! 🤣
Sorry for not responding about pulling the rope out of your hand I’ve had a busy summer. You might check your fly wheel key to see if it’s sheer that could be causing the kickback. Another trick you can try is try not to start the motor in between the compression stroke pull on the rope until you feel the resistance and then pull through it If that makes sense
you just saved the day got a blown up electric start 500cc that i was going to tear apart found a new pull start 500cc for 100 dollars going to do what you just did
Problem would be if the snowblower has a ring gear on the flywheel. If it does then there would be a way to do it because then it had the option when it was new. If not then you could do some research to see if that model number of engine came out with a starter option then you would have to change the flywheel and find a starter just like the video. I hope you understand what I saying. If not you could call me during the daytime and I could explain it better. 316 312 8704
Quick question...I just wired up a RER snapper with a key start, replacing the recoil on an 11hp B&S. After running all wires, replacing flywheel, installing solenoid, starter & battery I realized the starter is turning the flywheel in the wrong direction. Is it possible to change the direction of the starter by switching the magnets inside or I read about changing my wiring. I hope you can give me some insight. Thanks
Modern Briggs engines run in a clockwise direction. I’m trying to remember if I ever recall of one turning in the opposite direction. I have seen starters turn backwards because of the posts on the battery being hooked up backwards. You can possibly turn the casing of the starter to point in the opposite direction where the gear would be on the opposite end. Hope that makes sense
The ring gear doesn’t have a part number. It comes with the flywheel but you can find a junked out Briggs and the flywheel ring will come off and will fit on what you have. A 12 hp or a 14.5 hp. I do believe even a vtwin ring gear will work too
I will do some checking. I can tell you that you can find a another used overhead flywheel from a 10 to a 14.5 hp Briggs and the ring gear can be removed and installed on that flywheel that you have as well
Sorry I probably could have started it. It’s pretty straightforward once you get it all together. It will act like a regular electric start engine minus the luxury of a key switch starting system
Yes they can tear things up. Check your valve settings. They could have to much clearance between the rocker arm and the top of the valve cap causing that kick back. Should be set at .005 on both valves.
@@oldschoolmechanic7771 It's too bad there wasn't provision in the design to be able to use shims for adjustment. Seems like it ought to have been a no brainer
is it just me, or does there appear to be a second audio issue going on here?
Don’t know I’ll have to listen again
Not your imagination - there’s some kind of audio playing in the background.
You're just going crazy it's the voices in your head😮
I definitely heard noise in the background as well
same here
This is a GREAT video!!! Wish I could have seen the wiring for the jump starter, but thanks for making this Brother! Awesome!!!!!

What and where can you find a flywheel for the motor that you want to change over to a electric start????
GREAT VIDEOS,I LOVE YOUR JOB DONE!
Thank you I appreciate it
so what about part number for starter? or can any starter be used?
you just saved the day got a blown up electric start 500cc that i was going to tear apart found a new pull start 500cc for 100 dollars going to do what you just did
Glad you found it to be beneficial. Thanks for the comment
After thought, what is the clap do you set it at??? when replacing the flywheel.
Use a typical business card, don't ya just love the YT clips that give you virtually NO or NOT enough info?
can this be done to any pull start snowblower...no matter the brand

The casings I've seen will only fit one way. There is a notch on the bottom where the brush plate wire terminal fits. 😮 😊
what's the part number for the ring gear flywheel?
The ring gear doesn’t have a part number. It comes with the flywheel but you can find a junked out Briggs and the flywheel ring will come off and will fit on what you have. A 12 hp or a 14.5 hp. I do believe even a vtwin ring gear will work too
Why didn't you show adjusting the coil gap? 😮
Well I didn’t have to because the flywheels were the same flywheel other than one having a ring gear. I try to cover all the points but I do miss some
Do you know what model number bridge and Stratton put this engine under I have exactly the same one I cannot find it
I will do some checking. I can tell you that you can find a another used overhead flywheel from a 10 to a 14.5 hp Briggs and the ring gear can be removed and installed on that flywheel that you have as well
Just the info I needed.... thank you sir. YEP, i'm about done with plastic pawls.... @@oldschoolmechanic7771
SO, you don't actually show it working???? : (

Nothing like those plastic gears that strip with compression kick back. Too much plastic either way.
Yes they can tear things up. Check your valve settings. They could have to much clearance between the rocker arm and the top of the valve cap causing that kick back. Should be set at .005 on both valves.
There is no adjustment possible to decrease the excess valve lash on the opposed twin flathead.
Ah thought you were working on an over head valve.
@@oldschoolmechanic7771 It's too bad there wasn't provision in the design to be able to use shims for adjustment. Seems like it ought to have been a no brainer
I agree. Only way to get closer clearances other than some in depth modifications is to get new valves
Good video thank you I will subscribe
Thank you. Sorry I don’t always see the messages. I hope I was able to help
