My Dad had a Hahn mower for many years-I hated cutting the grass, but what I would give to have one of those days with him back-I miss him so much-good job as always, buddy!
My dad had 2 Hahn Pow-R -Pro self-propelled mowers. The best I've ever seen.
This is gold. Bought my first house last august, getting the garden going, got one of these given to my by my uncle. Getting the sucker going today. Thank you for this video. Your a beauty
Chances are you won't see this message on such an old video but i wanted to say how much your videos have helped me with fixing and learning how to do things right. Watching about 5 videos a day and the way you describe and show how things work and how to fix them is really great. Today I had some new briggs plastic carbs to rebuild and after watching your video on it I did the job without any dramas and got two mowers working again. Watching this one is also showing me how to service the carb on my old 1970's briggs engine power classic mower I am going to be doing a restoration on soon. So many things I have fixed easy since I started watching your videos so Thanks a heap from down under.
I’ve rebuilt many of these in my day but was not aware of the Teflon/pin repair. What we used to do is to flat file the aluminum top of tank to even out the warpage. Worked every time.
I have Ad Block Plus, but I always disable it for watching Taryl's videos. I also watch whole min of commercial and won't skip. It's a small effort on my part to help these guys, considering the effort they put to make the videos. These guys are better than anything on TV.
Just shut up and those ad blockers are just another way of stealing your information and they never work and WTF cares anyway!?! They didn't stop me from whooping your ass now did they? Bahahahaha ! If it wasn't for them thar ads, My Cuz Taryl couldn't make money from his videos! THERE'S YOUR DINNER!!!!
Thanks, Daryl Tactyl

All I want is TH-cam to stop offering me trials for a paid service that I have no intention of paying for. It seems like every time I watch a video on TH-cam there is that ad for their paid service. Aside from using an ad blocker how can I turn that annoying thing off? It is annoying having to close it so I can see what I wanted to see.
I have a 1975 model Briggs 5 HP on an old 1958 Gilson front tine tiller and it's the best running piece of equipment in my stable. People have discounted Briggs & Stratton over the years but I still love them.
You can also put two diphrams in these carburetors to fix the internal leak. Cut a circular hole in the choke lever area, remove the choke link arm, and put the diphram with the hole cut out on top. I have a very rare 1968 Firestone 20 inch mower with this carburetor and this is the way I fixed it. Figured it out on my own and it runs great. I put new points back in mine. My mower also has the rare wind up starter! Nice tiller you worked on Teryl! Keep it up.😎👍
I like how Taryl sees a little roll pin and immediately his mind goes back some 30- 40 years and remembers the fix B&S made for the fuel leak issue, realizing someone installed the fix on this tiller!
That tiller look exactly like the first tiller my Dad bought way back in the 1970's. My Dad and I broke up the first garden we ever had at our home I was 11 or 12 years old at the time. That thing went through the bolts that kept the tines in place like they were nothing. lol ! Later on my Dad bought a 8 horse power rear tine tiller from our local Co Op it was a Turf Til and that machine was light years easier to till and operate than that old front tine tiller. Sure miss plowing our and my neighbors little garden she had every year. They are all gone now but my memories are still very much a part of me. Love all your TH-cam posting. Most entertaining ,informative and funny. Thank You All !
Thanks Taryl! Even though this vid is 5 years old, it is just in time for me as I bought one much like this one the other day. Mine has the tall block though..
Damn! 50 whole minutes.... wow this can’t get any better.
My dad had one when I was a small child. I tilled with it for years. Good machine. Ours was far older then 1970.
I can’t believe how much I’m learning from this channel. I know a lot, but this gives me a better insight. 👍
Bringing back a lot of memories for me from when I worked on mower engines back in the 80s.
We used to have a Hahn Eclipse dealer in our neighborhood back in the 60’s. I remember seeing this tiller new along with the awesome lineup of Hahn Eclipse mowers when I was a kid. They all had the handle grips curved back at an angle, were all yellow and white and the mowers had a picture of a giraffe on the grass bag. I guess a giraffe was their mascot or something. Great quality mowers, of course we never had anything but a cheap department store mower.
I enjoy watching your show. I do dabble in small and stuff too but I’ve learned so much from you. Thank you again.
I love seeing these old machines getting put back in service.
Greetings from the Napa Valley Calif. I love seeing someone with the know how and patience to bring to life these old machines. I have two older 8hp briggs I will be doing the same. These old briggs just keep running even after much neglect. our videos are real life and very detailed. Great for anyone who wants to benefit for experience. Thanks
Another good video. This tiller would have been a great complete restoration project , I wish ya'll would do more total restoration videos.
I sure get a lot of these old briggs engines. It's nice to see a video this informative. Thanks Taryl.
last Fall, I purchased a couple of those air gap spark plug testers.
after spending a LOT of time trying to use them, they made the trip to the 'round file'
I'm still looking for a good spark plug tester that (perhaps) uses a neon bulb rather than a air gap.
We love the old stuff!
I never fixed an engine in my life but i really enjoy your videos.
I’ve worked on many of those same engines over the years and even converted a couple to the electronic ignition, (should have been a Magnetron sticker in that kit too) but it’s fun watching Taryl go through the whole process again. Can’t beat those early Briggs, they were well built.
Terrell is an awesome teacher
I've got the same exact engine on my 1972 Sears rototiller. I have put 3 gas tanks on it and rebuilt the carb 4 times. I finally got smart and soldered a petcock in the new tank so I can drain the gas. It's in my shed now. Have to bust it out for spring planting of my 10 x 20 garden.
Another good video! I love to keep these old antiques around, now maybe I can fix one.
Wish I had this back in the 60's when I was a kid! Had to now grass for money back then. And my dad was overseas with the Navy so I had to do all this stuff hit and miss!
Back in the 80's and 90's I stocked dozens of those 391681 diaphragms, roll pin kits, and points. Put so many of them in. Still have the special pliers to compress the condensor spring to install the wires, lots easier than the little plastic cap they include in the kit. I still stock a couple of these, but they have been on my parts shelf forever. Most I do with them now is dust them off every so often. Lol
dave1135 you are telling your age LOL
Why not hunt for old equipment and make it sing again? It would be an easy hobby for you. Someone gets a tiller, you get cash. ^_^
@@999thenewman are you writing to me I have done this kind of work over forty years
@@999thenewman I run a commercial shop like Terrell. Old mowers and tillers are a little hard to find, and while easy to fix, there's not much market for them besides niche collectors. The general public wants brand new shiny junk mowers. I used to pick up old mowers from recyclers and people's junk piles and repair them and sell them, but the last ten years or so, no one wants them..kinda sad, the older mowers are far better than today's plastic junk.
@@timfreeman476 yep, going to be 51 next month. Hell,I worked on the two stroke lawn boy mowers when they were still owned by international and we're white and yellow.
I soooo wish I could have seen this back in the 80's when I was just learning to do fix these engines. Taryl's experience is first rate, and so is his diagnostic ability. Well Done!!
Back into the 1980s or any era that was pre-information superhighway, you HAD to have sufficient education in engine science and that usually meant a lot of books and service manuals, and those were just in black and white text, with no anecdotal facts peppered in. Sad that here in 2023, most people use the internet to get dumber (Tik Tok, reddit), not smarter....😄
Wow. I love the long ones taryl. Honestly, who doesn't like a long one?
I've got one just like it was my Dad's. I got it running a few years ago. Run fine was using it the it started oil smoking a little when hot and losing power. Checked on parts like rings and piston. Couldn't find any so back it the garage and still there. Good video😃
My grandpa had the 5hp version. Ran it for many years. Was a decent "scratcher" for sure!
If the gas that was in it was 1978 or before, chances are good that it was "leaded" and certainly non ethanol. that carb would likely be good for many years if using non ethanol gas in it. Taryl, I think you're Great.......love your program!
That's a good tip with the Teflon washer inside the carby as I have a 4 HP Briggs & Stratton engine in pieces which has that part missing,it's a 1985 model.
I'm pretty sure that they fitted the spring on the tank side of the diaphragm instead of inside the carby.
Either way,the engine needs a rebuild including a new inlet valve, camshaft follower,camshaft & piston rings.
The case also needs some aluminium soldering repairs as well & I'm prepared to go that far with it.
found these videos only last week and find them entertaining.good way to learn about small engines with a bit of crack thrown in.keep up the good work,from Ireland
Love the 'tiller dance" !
tip of the week... put a magnet along your pressure tester - can place where you want it so it stays put!
This was a wonderful video. We had at least 4 mowers with that same engine, I wish I had this video then.
I love it when a customer says "money is no object." They never really mean it!
That's so easy to do now you all you had to do is replace the coil
One of mine brought me “his” cb750. A week later the carbs are rebuilt and it is all good to go. I call and he says you’ll have to call my sister, it’s hers. She of course said it was his so a year later (I still had it) put a mechanics lean on it. I still ride the bike every day almost 40 years later. Oh well, his loss.
binny dinney 40 years, that's one of the most badass things
I've read today. Kudos
@@binnydinney9739 Lien?
Great explanation about that carburetor and the little pipe and washer.
R.I.P. Alpha Lawn Mower Store/Service Dealer
I think they had another larger sponge air filter that fitted in place on mine that was made for a model 80206 or 80902?
Mine runs best and makes more power when I adjust the carburetor out a little so that it idles a little rough but I got tired of the choke flooding my motor on hot restarts so I bored some air holes in the choke plate using a hot nail.
I picked up a ancient SEARS tiller from the 60s few years back! Had to replace the points with a Briggs & Stratton electronic ignition kit, cleaned out the carb, and she started right up.
Sears stuff will run forever
@@harpoon_bakery162 Sears never made a thing. What Sears sold was outsourced to a manufacturer that put the "Sears Roebuck and Co." or "Craftsman" label on it for a fee.
@@Hjerte_Verke Rephrased, "Things that say 'Sears' on it will run forever"
Very nice work and you have helped me out. Thanks
Another gem! Thanks!
Bless you for sharing your wisdom with us!!!
Great Job Taryl , glad you don't mind getting some oil and dirt on your hands . I know most mechanics wear gloves now but I never did nor could I work with them.
Those Briggs & Stratton engines and the carburetors I personally think they're one of the best engines out there for small engines. They last forever was hardly any issues.😮😮
Need to make a video of how to check oil? I did my neighbors mower and the oil was past the full or below the mark. Love the videos learn a lot of new stuff that I didn't learn in school
Thanks Taryl, have a great day!
A cable from Rotary, and New points from Free Masons :-)
Fifty minutes of Taryl , great video
Taryl 's videos are a hoot - keep up the funny informative videos Taryl .
Taryl with all respect AND the learning/ enjoyment I get from your videos. I think you have dinosaur juice all over you 😆 on the topic of the pulsa-jet carb. just for clarification, the long tube draws up the fuel using the fuel pump and deposits it into the chamber until it fills enough, the small tube ( acting like a vacu-jet carb ) draws the fuel up from the chamber into the needle jet. thats why if the mower has sat for awhile and the chamber is empty and the tank is half full it takes several pulls to pump fuel to fill the chamber enough to start the engine. If you notice the cut outs at the top of the chamber , if you fill the tank all the way up fuel will flow in through those cut out and it will fill the chamber for easy starting. I always thought that the tanks on those carbs warped which is bad because as you know the tank is the bottom of the carb. In the owners manual it says to let the mower cool off before refilling. which for a long time I thought was for safety. i later started to think it is because refilling a hot tank will cool gas causes the tank to warp. look how thick the gas tank carb area is on the mylon ( plastic carb) carbs. I still have my mower my parents bought for me in '65. has a different deck...the tin worms attacked the original deck. It's retired now. i use one of the 12 or is it 13ci mowers B&S makes...it was a curb find..it was full of dinosaur syrup. great videos , thanks for making them
The operation of the Pulsa-Jet carb is complicated and Taryl probably knows all the ins and outs, however I think he glosses over it for the sake of brevity....and some viewers just won't it anyway because carburetion is quite complex.
I just got me a 3 horse from 74. Thing are water from the past 20 years. All it took was cleaning and resetting the points and it runs like a dream. Now I’m rebuilding it.
48 ys old and still worth fixing
compression was still good too. a new tiller would cost an arm and a leg. this was only 300 fix job. bravo small engine maestro, bravo!
how u know me ?
Nice job thanks
I'm sure you know, but the teflon washers have a secondary application on the older Briggs Flo-Jet carburetors that are notorious for leaking at the mating point of the emulsion tube and carb body. Especially on older neglected carburetors where porosity has caused pitting in the carb body. Just passing along little known information. Zip~
Never thought about sharpening my tiller tines on my cement floor ! LOL
Taryl i love watching your videos. iam learning something new every time tks alot
I forgot a great deal when I watched this. I grew up through the latter part of the 70’s and 80’s back then where I grew up people didn’t like paying for the land fill, and the scrap pile was free, you could dump whole mowers and things in it back then but lots of people threw their trash away in the woods. There were always engines and mowers, tillers etc. just thrown away off the side of the rod in turn offs and in the woods I scavenged all I could because I had no money for nothing and the old man said go earn it, and he didn’t give me anything. I built my first lawn mower it had parts from a Snapper, Toro, and Montgomery wards. What a Frankenstein but I learned a lot about engines loved working on these things as a kid my dad however did teach me about carbs and such but the rest I learned as I went. I suppose that’s why I enjoy watching this dam channel...
another thing among the many things i like about this channel is you have music in back ground very low ! thank you for that ! nobody does better than you TARYL !!!
Finish it please. Loved this video. Got my L/S momma didn't raise no punk shirt in today, love it, fit perfect.
Would be interested in your thoughts on the Craftsman, Toro and MTD " 4 way chute control" for snow blowers. I happen to think they suck... Maybe ya got some tips for the numerous problems with them?
Scruffy is so typical of customers......GREAT JOB again Taryl!!!!
Awesome job Taryl, you the man!
YUP I was fixing these in the 70's had a big E style coil type mag since then got the nickname
of magz or Maggy as I was listenin to Dylans "I aint gonna work on Maggy's farm no more.
I learned how to wind the springs for the recoils. Got back to wrkg on engine fall of 2019 to
get my powerhorse gen going. somehow gas got turned on during a big move and gummed
up the carbitr8r.
Just awesome video! Thanks guys!!!
Part # for a solid state coil/ignition for my B&S 1972 3.5 hp vertical???. It’s on a coast to coast tiller my buddy found in a dumpster. I’ve used it for 19 years & going thru it to keep it running for another 19.
Love the videos!!!!!!
🤣🤣🤣 literally nailed it on customers. “ take your time but I need it ASAP money is no object but keep it under so many dollars.”
I had a Hahn snow thrower, I called it a Hahn death machine. The controls were like a motorcycle as you pull on a grip lever to stop it's movement if you let go of machine it just kept moving.
True story, some 25+ years ago a guy in our town had a rear tine rototiller that he was using ,somehow the thing pinned him against the garden fence and chewed on his one leg until a neighbor heard the screams and got it off him. Don't know the make or model or specifics anymore but usually there is a good reason for guards and safety shut offs on equipment , don't disable them. The guy survived but has a prosthetic leg from the knee down. Still chills me just thinking about it.
Most of those tillers from years ago had a heavy gearbox/transmission and they required power forward and reverse because of all that weight. I don't think they had a "deadman" switch though, just manual controls. Suffice to say you have to know exactly how to operate it as like any machine, it can injure, maim and kill.
Another great episode, great job Taryl!
Nice day, you have one o those.... Cracked me up that did. Great video /fix. The old tiller lives again! Thanks boys.
Thank you!!
Excellent video. I need to get me some of that wire and a Z tool
Ideally, before putting the ignition coil back on, the area under it and around the cylinder should have been cleaned thoroughly. Those cooling fins were nearly completely filled in with dirt. Clean those out thoroughly to ensure efficient cooling so you don't have to do it again after 50 hours of usage. Or find out the hard way when the engine overheats.
Hello Taryl, just wanted to say, I started a small business, gas engine generators, I know how
they work, both the brushes/brushless, will do log splitters pressure washers should I come
across them. If I can save a Customer 40$ by cleaning out his carb, that is good for the
customer. If you want to have good customers, You have to be good to the customers.
Got it running. Where can I get a replacement belt small enough? Nothing on the innerscreen or any parts stores near me
Gotta love that classic old yeller color circa 1970's....of course it's gonna run...Taryl fixes all
Thanks for another videoTaryl,you are a wealth of information.
Another excellent video thanks taryl
Need that starter clutch tool thing and also a torque wrench or if you don't get it tight enough the flywheel will walk and break the key and go out of time.
Sure that there isn't oil coming out near the points?
Special heavy flywheel? Could you still get another one if you wanted it?
I have a 1963 Hahn Eclipse mower with the original B&S engine that I still use to mow my lawn.😂😂😂
I like those old Briggs machines. I've got two of them, -69 Briggs 3hp with manual choke carb. and -73 Briggs 3.5hp with auto choke carb. Both of them lawn mowers
I bought one of those z benders works great
What do you use in your parts washer for solvent. Now days they all take water based solvent
I have a 1968 homko tiller that took some work to get going but still gets going.
I had a 1974 version of that 3.5 hp engine on a lawn mower. I had it 24 years until the deck rotted out.
A couple of sets of points, and spark plugs and fresh oil every year and it still ran like a charm. The carburetor had never been touched. And then B+S started building junk. Really too bad. The next one was hard to start and gutless and lasted 3 years until the rod went through the block with no warning whatsoever. I gave up on B+S. I have a Honda now that's a real Swiss Watch so far.
Your sound effects guy is a genius.
You do amazing work!
You are so good man and I have learned a lot from you
unbelievable i watched the whole thing.
I've learned a lot from you man. Thanks for the great how to videos!
Love the vids Taryl, funny and informational!
Great job Mr. Taryl !
Taryl I did your success yell the other day when I fixed my pressure washer yheeeeeeeey woooh, woooooho and thought of you Thanks
Will the block from a newer motor fit on one of these older motors? I have a tiller with this motor but I broke the block when I tried removing it to get to the belt
Should be under warranty!
I wish I had thought of that! Funny!!!!
omg
I’m in tears. This is so funny
HAHAHA!!.Great video Tayrl,that's the son of the BIG 8HP.Sears"KILLER-TILLER"from your other video.
That little tiller will last forever,as long as the owner changes the 🛢 oil in it every year and change the gear box oil every so often.
I have a little"killer-tiller"like that one,it was built in the late 50's or early 1960's,it's a 3.5hp.David-Bradley and it STILL WORKS!!.
I'm sorry,but the new stuff is pure garbage compared to these"antiques"Taryl,they are easier to maintain and service,but most of all these older machines are built like little tanks.GOOD STUFF!!.
