Before ya put that on briggs caps if ya paid attention has a small hole in center of metal cap.take and put your mouth on it and blow and there ya go it runs.used to do it all the time on briggs flatheads for race karts
@@rcnelson they are NLA but here’s a link with various brands who made them maybe one is available on EBay smallengines.ca/ecom.asp?pg=products&specific=joppqnomk&gotogrp=&gotopgnum=63
They had something similar for the 5hp Briggs flathead on race karts running on methanol with no choke. Was easier to just blow in the cap to get them started cold.
The track we raced at allowed these as they kept the fuel from sloshing out of a full tank, and a few of the guys we raced ran them, and they really helped starting on methanol!!! They just couldn't run them at a sanctioned event, so they would use it to prime them, then take it off and start with one or two pulls!!
It is the exact same thing and kept fuels from slopping out on like tillers and stuff. later when I raced Karts as a kid we ran alcohol so that was necessary... I remember as far back as the 1970s the Agway where I grew up you could buy em for $1.25 they used to have em hanging right where ya walked in there were gas cans & stuff on the right rakes shovels on the left. Those things also hung at the cash register. They were a big seller around here for some reasons.
That's actually a slick little gadget. It's just a primer, but for someone who isn't mechanically inclined or you need a quick fix, sure. Come on, we've all been there. You can fix it right, but you need it going NOW.
I garbage picked a few mowers back in the 90s as a kid that had the push n start, i liked it it pumped the diaphragm and helped the get gas up in the reserve on the top of the tanks, its a great product
Hey Taryl!! These are my favorite videos! I absolutely love seeing the gadgets that people have invented to try to make a buck. I am from that generation of mowers and gadgets and enjoy seeing that stuff in action. Keep em coming Taryl!!
My Stihl weed cutter has a primer which I assume as you say, this thing does just that. My Stihl chainsaw doesn't and is a lot harder to start. I remember years ago the first time I'd use my lawnmower each year I'd usually have to pull the plug and pour a bit of gas in to get it to start. This would certainly be easier, and a lot safer than trying to use the starter fluid. Thankfully I haven't had to do that with my present mower that has a Honda engine. Only issue is that the linkages got caught in some brush and I ended up having to adjust the governor. (Thanks for the video showing me how.) Now it starts right up but the linkage seems to stick and at first the engine runs too fast until I jiggle the linkage, then everything is fine. (But heck, the mower is about 10 years old and I keep about an acre mowed so it is pretty used.)
Ha! As did mine. She used to yell at us kids after dinner to was our dupas. Man I miss the kapusta and shashiska ( Im sure I misspelled) she used to make. Amazing how Him using that one word brought back so many great memories from my childhood. Life was much simpler then.
Back on the farm in the '60's we had a tiller with that 3.5HP Briggs & Stratton. Huge garden and that thing did a ton of work every summer keeping the weeds down between the rows of potatoes. Dad was still using it decades later when he sold the farm and moved to town. Mom and Dad kept a smaller garden then. He has passed now. I think my brother still has it and no doubt it would still start even though he didn't use it. I remember that choke though, it became pretty well a ritual to pull the cleaner off, stick the threaded rod in to hold the choke open and fire it up. Never seen this oddity before though.
On old Caterpillar bulldozers, they came with two engines on one tractor: a small, 2-cylinder gas engine (aka: pony engine) that would start the larger, diesel engine. One day a fella couldn't get his pony engine to start so he did the "Push N Start" by sealing the gas tank spout with his mouth and blew. It worked. Thanks for video.
I operated a TD-18 cable dozer that started on gasoline and with a flip of a lever went from gasoline to diesel. We also had a D-2 and a D-4 with a pony motor like you are referring to.
@@akbychoice International right! As a kid, i can remember a crew building a road close to our farm with 2 dozers and 2 scrapers. They had one International dozer that started like that. It may have been a TD-24 though? There was a Cat too but i don't recall if that one was a pony start. D7 or D8 i think?
@@thomasglenn1454 What did you and the 3 Upvoters, so far, to your comment think it was doing?!!! Now i know why manufacturers had to come up with Automatic Chokes for the mechanically incompetent.
For years now, I just seal my face against the gas tank neck and give it a big breath of air. Just hold it a few seconds, you can feel the pressure build. Almost always works. Course the filler neck has to be somewhere that you can get at. Even works on engines with a fuel pump. Big old Wisconsins, Kohlers, tractors. Also, sometimes use a fuel primer bulb for outboard engines. Allow enough hose so the bulb can lay on the ground, pump it with your foot. Put the suction hose in a can of fresh gas. The bulb will get hard when the needle seats or gas will run out of the carb if it doesn't. A lot of older engines have a drain plug in the bottom of the fuel bowl. Flush the bowl and fuel lines. Worth a try, get fresh gas in there.
Yes I have one of those. In the mid 80s my father in law and I went to Louisville Kentucky for the hardware and equipment show. We picked up many gadgets this is one of them and it does work 👍
This is such a good idea. I can even see this possibly pushing loose crud out of the carb ports. A primer bulb is actually not a new thing so it surprises me this didn't happen sooner.
I have used compressed air in the gas tank of snowmobiles, chainsaws, riding lawn mowers, and push mowers when they won't start , it always works. Whether the hang up is in the fuel filter or the carburetor the compressed air pushes the gas through to make it function again
Had a push mower with a Push N Start on it and no matter how fast or far you pushed the mower, it just wouldn't start. Taryl must be using some Hollywood editing magic in this vid!

Those classic Briggs engines like that could get very frustrating to start if not maintained well; I remember seeing those caps at my local farm store back in the 1990s😊
If the choke butterfly sticks open in them either the choke butterfly shaft is sticking or the bimetal spring is broken in it. When my 3 horsepower Briggs and Stratton powered lawnmowers choke stuck shut after letting the mower sit for 10 minutes after using it ,it was because the engine had lost compression & I had already replaced the choke diaphragm at the base of the carburettor. The fix was to replace the piston rings so that the engine has enough vacuum to operate the choke diaphragm to open the choke butterfly valve !
Great ideal as long as it holds up, but with those accordion style plastic things never seem to hold up to the weather without cracking at the seams. Maybe if you take it off and store it inside every time you use it. Now if they could make a metal one like the ones used in those old Coleman white fuel lanterns I see this being a good product.

Where did he get the squeeze section; were they custom made or a regular item he found in a hardware store, maybe a kids toy?
he was my father
I hope they still make em!
A whole new meaning to LMAO... Lawnmower mysteries and oddities. ❤
First time I have seen a gas cap like that, great 👍 video
Good one😂😂😂😂😂😂
Push and start was the inspiration for the primers on small engines.
Always look forward to this man and how he repairs and fixes up machinery. The cat knows his stuff!
Have never heard or seen these gadgets before. But it works, and could be a nice frustration saver. Ingenious

I wish I had push and start when I was younger pulling the heck out of those old 3.5s lol
The kick start on the push lawn mower seems like a good idea.

Just a tip, you can rock the pushmower back and forth to prime the fuel bowl😉

It helps a lot when the diaphragm is getting -
Hard as a carp!!!
That little push n start is pretty cool
push n start must of been invented when they made the sit n spin hats off to you Taryl !!
Minor pull starter regurtation....takes me back😂

Your Mysteries and Oddities videos are always intriguing , but what's more intriguing is how do they put Dinosaur farts in a can ?
That’s why they call it Mysteries and Oddities! No one really knows for sure…
This guy is so great….thanks Mr. Taryl!
That’s a pretty neat idea on those old mowers
For an old mower that tank was spotless!
I think that’s something they could bring back ! I’d use it for sure !
Got that Dupa reference!!😅😅
Me too, I’m Polish.
Sick burn on the reverse mortgage, I love Taryl.
This would be great for diagnostic purposes, too.
Good point😊
That’s a neat thing, never heard of it before
Ì have to admit that is a really cool item. Back in the day common sense and ingenuity was everywhere. The push and fart is a great idea really
The sound of those old Briggs is sweet- quality at its best! 🫶
I LIKE THE FOOT STARTER COOL IDEA!
Taryl Dactyl for President! Maybe he can fix America...
This is such a good idea. I can even see this possibly pushing loose crud out of the carb ports. A primer bulb is actually not a new thing so it surprises me this didn't happen sooner.
An add-on primer bulb in the easiest to install location was a brilliant idea.
That push and start is a pretty cool tool to have on a lawn mower.👍
My first car was like that. My buddies would push it so I could get it started.
Neat to see differant old items And it worked
Good idea especially on the older units!
Electric mowers you won't need gas
I'll tell you what I think - It looks like a goofy Halloween eyeball!
I guess this is where the idea for purge bulbs/primer bulbs came from.
Wow that's amazing i'm gonna have to look for that one
That's fkn nuts. I'd never buy a thing like that.
That was fun to see Taryl. Thanks!
Thank you for sharing.👍
LOL. Love the reverse mortgage shot
Smart gadget and keeps also those good old Birggs engines going,
I like it!👍
Sounds like Push N Start was ahead of its time.
The Push and start seems like a good idea.
great idea as often it is the primer that causes the motor to be difficult to start

The bowl built into the gastank has a overflow hole back to tank. If you tip the front of the mower up, it will help fill the bowl.

Yeah but it would cost more than what you could buy a new mower for.
@@wmnoelmadding587 or just put a air line from a compressor through a rubber cork stopper, give it a quick blow and put the cap back on, $3 quick fix.

That's awesome!!!
