- Found this engine discarded on the side of the road. Thought I would bring it home and fix it.
I use Harbor Freight Super Heavy Duty Degreaser in my ultrasonic cleaner www.harborfreight.com/1-gallo...

Hyrdraulic pump on the back makes me think it was powering a splitter. That looks like a very well engineered engine. Controls in the right place, seems fairly easy to work on, compact form.
In my whole entire life.... and I've lived rural, in the Rocky Mountains to the plains and in suburbs, I have never been "Out and About" and found or seen a "Lawn Mower" engine lying in the tall grass pitched sideways..... I think James has a destiny in life..... some folks rescue puppies and cats... On the bright side, it really looks like this engine wasn't in the location where James found it for very long.... it wasn't mud crusted, weathered or beaten and of course the engine shows life on first pull. I loved watching the video.... thanks James for the reasonable, deductible and sensitive nature of your troubleshooting. I tend to be a little less patient than you are....
Thanks.
My back hurts watching you work in the garage floor😖...lol
I really enjoy the time lapse for the carb in the ultrasonic. Nifty bit of videography.
Meanwhile,
The farmer went home on his tractor to get a new rubber damper for the coupling as the old one was whipped out.
He hid the engine in high grass, pretty sure he would be able to remember where he hid it.
Next day he comes back, ..... wth did I put it ?
The farmer had a bad day. Poor sod.
Cheers, and well done James. Young James will be a mechanic, just like his father.
🤝👍🇳🇱
Nice job! I kept getting distracted by the bugs running around on the floor. Lol!
Bad news there are no bugs😳
Dale olson @
Nah good news,he is hallucinating....
’no point mentioning those bats, the poor btard will see them soon enough!’
Somebody just got thrown out of his home
james you have the gift of sensitivity, you are an engine whisperer thanks again for your patience and investigative/ diagnostic skill. Thank you sir
You are very welcome
james can you pls tell what solution and ratio your using on ultrasonic cleaner, how long do you usually clean it and what temperature? thank you
Depends on how bad the carb looks. I do not measure it, just pour until I get the right color. I put hot water in from the sink and turn the heater on, but I do not wait normally for the max temp. Probably around 150F. The hotter the better.
Loved the Serengeti moment when the engine first started - critters fled the loud predator. Including a very confused centipede (ouch!) and a VW bug spider.
Great job and great video! It's cool to see the next generation in helping and getting involved. 👍
You are right to give a higher idle speed. Most don't understand, the manurfacturer wants usually 1200-1400roms, so the flywheel fan promotes good cooling through the cylinder head fins.....As always Jim, good job...
Hmmmm. Now this is making me want to make sure the valve clearance is good on the mower and tiller. They run ok but have a little miss throughout the rpm range. Dont think they have a fuel issue because I use fresh 93 octane. Both are Briggs &Stratton engines. Thank you for sharing this. Maybe I will regain some lost power.
thank you for the "Put it through the cleaner" bit...
I can believe someone would throw away an engine that worked, I went to a junkyard one time and found a chainsaw, I pulled the cord to check compression, and it fired right up with the weakest pull, and another time I found a Honda eu1000i, all it needed was the water out of the carburetor and it ran like new.
The dirt in the cup looks fresh as well.
Congrats on 2k subs!
Thanks!
Unusual engine, but it runs like a good ol’ Briggs!
My name is Dirk , i am from germany and my english is bad..
i like your videos. please go on.
Danke
Well, all I can say is English is a Germanic language so there are similarities. Also, one part of England probably sounds like an entirely different language (dialects) to another part.
I just bought an 18-year-old used generator with this engine but mine’s 10 hp.. It is a good, smooth, quiet, engine, considering that it’s running between 3730 - 3750 on idle. It’s quieter than one of the Chinese Clone “PowerHouse” that I had by Northern Tool at one time. Despite this being an 18-year-old Generac with the same 10 hp engine, I don’t think it’s been used much generator head works phenomenal and the brushes aren’t hardly worn at all.
Must be nice finding free stuff
Free is the best. I passed a chipper in a trash pile today and was ready to keep going. My son made me turn around and pick it up. It is rough, but will run again.
That state highway worker was coming back for that after work..
lol
James if you could solve the carb problems you could make a fortion. Most of all the problems come from the catb problems ! Solve the carb issue and you are on your way to most of the problems being solved of engine being tossed in the garbage most of the times !no more break downs !
I have 5 of these Briggs 9.00. Looks like it came off a Pest Spray Rig. They are really tough engines but can get testy with the carb and valve clearance. Great video.
I saw a few spiders make their escape! 😂
The jet on the bottom. I always clean that it smooths it out!
Very nice motor.
A love-joy coupling to a hydraulic pump or PTO unit
This is very similar to the engine on my Ariens snowblower. Gastank, covers and throttle assembly is the same.
Looks like it may have powered a log splitter.
GREAT diagnosis and fix.
If the float is not a solid piece, I like to shake it and see if there is any fuel in it.
I think it did. Thanks!
lubes part, "looks like someone might have over lubed"
He meant the grease and the comment was made after over lube was found
Fuel mixture adjust n good to go .
Where did all the bugs come from 😃. Nice find and good fix.
I know right. They went running once then engine started.
With the title "Engine Breaking Up" if I was going to see pieces on the inside abruptly escaping to the outside? ;-)
Thart starter type relyes on the screw providing enough downwards pressure on the friction washer that is supposed to be there holds the plastic dog guide in place thus kicking the dogs, Adding lube makes it worse. Well in this instance lube was worse...
Have never seen a vlv tappet lock down like that
I discovered today that the briggs 5 hp new style pull start internals will interchange with a techumseh power sport type pull start. They are both the type with the dogs on them that is.
Hey man, that’s my motor. I didn’t dump it. It fell off my truck. You see the shaft coupler to my machine was still on it . Yeah, cause I was gonna fix it. Bring it back, I don’t have no $99 dollars, plus I need the coupler. Wow dude, are you for real.
What town and state?
Just having fun. Enjoy the videos. Thanks.
haha nice con job try,smart play James xD
Give aerosol silicone a try. Dries clean, and not detrimental to plastics.....
Haha, look at all the bugs that evacuated the scene when it started.
Jim you can buy new rubber for the coupling cheap and maybe have yourself a hydraulic pump...
Sir I generally put a 5/10 valve doing shim because b/s and others have weak springs
I use a spring tester from when I was in business
Now I add 5 thousand to every engine rebuild
Fantastic informative , can you tell me where to get that rpm gauge and how you connect it to check the rpm ? thanks
They're called inductive tachometers. You can buy them from eBay or any place that sells small engine parts. They're connected to the engine by wrapping the tach's wire around the ignition lead to the spark plug.
You can tell the truth and rich from all the foot on the exhaust you don't even have to pull the plug out of it
no gasket/o-ring change???
Providing homes for abandoned machines, engines everywhere approve.
I like to clean those carb passages with small wire AND blow carb clean through them.
what are u cleaning your carburetors with, the liquid cleaner. thanks again

Little man working like a mad squirrel trying to roll the engine over. Ya know you really could use a couple of work benches so you can get up off the floor to work .
prolly was off a tiller,water pressure cleaner,by the looks of it!
Great find,just needs more fine tuning for idle,not speed, be the mixture ratio 👍
Would be easy to fix that if it had an adjustable carb.
James Condon,Could be hidden,underneath a cover or plug,see if you have any luck looking that carb model up for info,👍
did you happen to check the compression after the valve lash adjustment?
Has compression release. Need to do leakdown test.
I'm surprised that it even ran with 30psi of compression
That oily wet air filter was the cause of your running to rich , not enough air means it will suck more gas. I've had them come in the shop and you could take off the air filter , start it up , put the filter back on and kill it ! A lot of the one's that did that were because someone tried washing them out with gasoline , a big no no !! :-) good find , good video ! :-)
Thanks!
Chain is too tight on top of dull but other than that good job
hi james what will you do will it ,looks to good for spares,well great job mate
I just posted it far sale as a good engine. It has a standard shaft that can be used on a lot of different things.
Out of curiosity now that the video is several years old, what did the engine end up getting installed on?
Some people have all the luck.. finding free stuff that works... Just like mustie 1
If the stuff worked there'd be no videos. Check your local small engine shop as the one I go to throws away easily fixed equipment.
Hope the exhaust valve isn't burnt.
I take it that this engine does not have a tapered shaft. No good for a single shaft generator then. You could mount a pulley with a belt on it drive a separate generator.
looks like log spliter engine with the pump on it..about 16-20 ton most likely
Wish that was attached to the engine. Could use one of those.
Always set both sides at 4000 myself and forget that 6000 because they're gonna be loser than what the they show up anyway when you run it after you adjust it you're gonna settle in
that would go perfictily in a go kart or mini bike
Hi. What kind of solution do you use in the parts cleaner
Harbor Freight super heavy duty degreaser.
when u have it on low throttle sounds like the generator in “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre”
what liquid do you use in the ultrasonic cleaner??
Harbor Freight Super Heavy Duty Degreaser.
I don't think she's potty trained. She made a mess on the carpet.
Guessing farmer replaced motor on seed tender and forgot about the engine.
I have seen a lot of valve issues causing bent pushrods in the briggs engines. I won't ever own another briggs. Harbor freight makes a better quality motor. I'd still take it if I found one like you. LOL
without goin thru all the videos.. what tach do you use? thanks.
amzn.to/3weVHHC and amzn.to/3Mf2hTS
Do you still have this engine?
maybe compress air spray it before tearing it apart???? looking at all that fod coming of that beast....
See, I’m not the only one that thinks you should start working on a bench
Log splitter engine?
Yes
I'm curious if you got the valves out and laping the one valve why would not lap the other while you are right there ?
Your doing a fine job young Man
I should have lapped both.
@James Condon, @21:29, that 'vent' is there to prevent vapour lock, i'd say :)
Hope that answers that for you, because you sounded unsure about it.
Thanks. Am dealing with a generator now that is suffering from vapor lock. Was convinced the vent was blocked, but that was not the case :(
John here have that motor. Cost is 635.00 motor 9 hp mine on leaf vacuum.
Whot was worked with this engine some kind of hydraulic pomp???
i have one on my power washer an my one troybilt tiller ,,never had a problem with them but bad gas
Free always trumps $99
Jim, Rance here...at 16:55 when you were hooking up the wires to the brushes, you said red wire goes on top and the other on bottom but it doesn't make any difference because it's a "c" going engine....this is where I lost you. Could you help me understand what I'm missing ? Thanks@
Are you talking about a Briggs set of brushes with the bridge rectifier? If so, then it should not matter how they are connected. Just need to make sure the positive brush with the tab goes in.
@@jcondon1 comment was for "Will it make power again....Blown engine" this was posted 3days ago. Jim I'm sorry please excuse me ! Just getting old and not very good at operating these electronic gadgets.
It might have been on a log splitter...
Yea: it's time to change the business name to "Lazarus Machine's" or "Machine Resurrection, LLC" .... Erik
Dude, pay attention here. THAT is a splash lubed engine. Idling down is NOT recommended. Run at full 3600rpm for max engine longevity per Briggs and Stratton. Also the engine COOLING suffers tremendously when you do this. These are air cooled engines that need full revs for max air flow. Set the engine at 3600rpm and leave it alone.
You got a quit working on the floor
lap the valves , put berryman;''s in the tank, spit on it ad start it.!!!!!!!!!
I am more disgusted that someone just threw it away not giving a shit about anything
looks to me it is a hydraulic pump
Why fuss with it, all of it
Ya should try working on a table, will save your back
Yes. I have a nice workbench. Was just full of other projects at the time.
I enjoy watching your videos but working on the floor is going to really hurt you later on
Hopefully I get a lift before that happens.
Please get a lift table my knees are hurting just watching.lol..not funny
Fail
Good to see you use child labour. They'd just be out running the streets in gangs otherwise...🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍
