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
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.

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.)
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.
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!
Any parts for a 70E johnyseed ? This old girl, (maybe will call her , joaneyseed) is still running and a cutting! well mantained , gets vp oil mix and a sharp chain before every job. At 65 Im still older than it( believe its 1975 or maybe through 78) Always learning about small engines, AND YOU HAVE HELPED GREATLY! Looking foward to a visit to your shop someday, after i load up my has beens and no wants and find a place for them far from the nutmeg state.haha! You take care and keep up the great work with your sons.. Oh semper fi! ( both sons in USMC ) they love ya!
How is the tank vented, when you have a sealing pressurizer cap on the tank? Or do you basically just seal it off with your finger when you push the cap, but it can vent normally when you remove the finger?
Cool idea. I have concerns with it. But before that I assume you know on the B and S engines that choke is controlled by a diaphragm, that is also the seal between the gas tank and the carburetor and often it get a crack in it and then the choke will not work right. Just replace that and your starting problems are better or over. Now back to my concern: most regular gas caps are made to stop gas from getting out but also vented enough to let air in, so this device, is it vented????? Other wise after you use it to start the engine you should remove it and put the regular cap back on, or else in a few minutes to maybe 15 minutes the engine stop and will not start till you press more air into it again.
I still prefer those old Briggs better than the mowers they sell today..For those old Briggs I like the idea of the "Push and Start" 👍.. I will never forget what my small engine teacher told me back in the 70's. He said "Hell, You can put these Briggs and Stratton engines together with bailing wire snd they will still run 😂.
As Ken P. Said, you could blow into the tank of a racing kart running metanol on a cool day, and "Fire it up!!". It filled the secondary fuel bowl, and wet the diaphragm. .
That mower is older than me... If it was just sitting for years there is NO way "push and start" would get it going. Oil already dropped from piston rings down into the crankcase leaving the engine without compression. No compression = no start. One trick I use is to put a bit of oil into the cylinder via the spark plug hole, and pull the start cord to re-oil the piston and the cylinder...getting compression back.
if i run my toro timemaster out of fuel , it can be hard to restart, i make a ring out of my fingers around the fuel cap threads and give it a good huff and puff, works everytime, same principle i suppose
Put your hand over the Carb to create, Suction. Do the same with a I/O Marine engine, or any other engine that you can spray down the throat of the Carb and Wham 3 seconds of hope. Fuel Can Not sit idle for long periods of time!! Drain it, Run the carb dry, or Just let It sit for the next season and wonder why it won't start!!! Carb cleaner is a tremendous help for this AMONG other items In both the small and Large engine repair!
The crew on Facebook had a meltdown when I asked if you worked on snowmobiles in the winter Not going back to people with no manners or acceptance of others
With That type of diaphram pump carburetor , pressurizing the fuel tank is probbly enough pressure to blow out some of gunk in fuel system (as well as expell all the air from the diapharm fuel pump ) and allow it to run again. as said will deliver a shot of fuel that would enrich the mixture enougth to get it to start if the choke is not working as it should ,, clever idea , But I have never seen one before .
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.
I’m a cheapskate. To save money I just rather put my mouth over the gas tank spout and blow while my brother pull starts the mower. Engine starts every time !
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!!
Hi Taryl I am a Big Fan of your Channel i watch you every week i have asked you several times what is going on with that 318 John Deere ? I have one also it looks like it might be a permanent Fixture in your shop it has me Worried
I had one of those at one time, pretty neat idea, but over time if it sits outside the SUN WILL DRY ROT THAT PLASTIC.... THAT'S THE PRECURSOR TO THE "PRIMING BULB" WHEN IT STAYED FLEXIBLE IT WORKED GREAT.. WHEN IT GOT STIFF AND CRACKED IT GOT THROWN IN THE GARBAGE CAN😂😢😂😂😂😮😮😂😅😅
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.
Those old L-heads will run forever. The only thing you really have to make them run forever is to keep them full of oil. Dirty oil, thin oil, old oil-whatever. If you actualy changed the oil once a season, they would literally last you your entire life.
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.

Pretty neat for sure.
It appears to pressurize the gas tank. I didn't have one, I just tilted the mower so the gas would go towards the carb. It would start on first pull.
That’s pretty neat.

Hello could you please post a link to push n start, Thanks in advance. I checked your website. I searched and cannot find it .Thanks in advance.
I wish I had one of those in 1978!
I love those old mowers. Back when mowers were mowers and you could cut 6" grass without it choking out. How much you want for it? Give you $20
Briggs started to put a tank pressuriser on later models and you had to give it 3 presses before starting.
Seems like I remember having a lawnmoiwers and chainsaws that had a primer bulbs as factory built - and they acted like a PUSH-N-START :-0)

Dayumnnnnnn thats crazy-wow
Cool as hell
Does anyone know where they sell these and they are in stock? Only place i found is in Australia and their website is a nightmare
Impressive
8f you domt keep pressirizing tank does it create a neg pressure preventing fuel from gping to engine?
Got any push n starts on your website?
Thanks. Im going to get one. Thats your dinner.

Enjoy seeing these old solutions to problems of the times. Very interesting. Your videos are great
Just a tip, you can rock the pushmower back and forth to prime the fuel bowl😉
I think the new lawn mowers have something similar, but the call it a primer. Old technology is still around but in different form or name.
I had a push and start on my car, I would push and then then the guy in the car would pop the clutch and it would start.
