You will need to straighten the choke wire to make it run smoothly, I love being entertained by looking at videos of old Briggs motors ,I like to see them rebuilt especially the real old ones,I'm from Geelong Victoria Australia which is down south on the eastern side of the country, you did a great job with it,see ya.
Excellent presentation! I am trying to get a Model 23 running again that powered a Buzz Saw. The saw rig and engine have not been run for 55 years. Your video was very helpful. Thank You!
Great video and much appreciated. I have an old Briggs 7HP I've started working on. Carb cleaning is next on my list and this video showed me what to expect.
Aswesome work ! Sounds great. I had one of those motors on a 1955 David Bradley (Sears) "5 HP Special" two wheel tractor. It was a great running motor, but the points always seemed to need cleaned after it sat for a period of time in order to get it running again.
Interesting. These were corroded, too. I wonder if their location (under that little shield on the outside of the engine) makes them more susceptible to corrosion?
I'm working on an old mixer as well.. Briggs 19DR6 Engine.. Hard to start, may swap out motor for an electric start engine, but I need to match up gear reduction to new engine. Is your engine a 19D?
Very nice Engine and a great Sound. I have a Model 200451 Briggs Engine with the the Look from your Engine. My Number is in the Aircooling House near the Carburator to find.
Hi Steve. Here's a link to one of my other videos ... th-cam.com/video/6RR080gfHJM/w-d-xo.html That tester is covered from about 2:30 to 5:20 in the video.
Check the points first - gap and cleanliness .Then, check the entire length of the coil wire. Make sure it isn’t grounding out somewhere. Then, check the air gap between the flywheel and the coil. Then, check and/or replace the coil. Good luck!
@@AntiqueCarsandStuff got it! I'm so pumped hahaha, points were still a little too dirty. Had to guess on the gap because I don't have a gauge lol. It ran for a good 20 seconds on gas in the cylinder and starting fluid. Now to put the gas tank back on and run some fuel line! I literally tore that whole thing down today but it was just the points 🤣

Thanks 👍

Thanks! I’ll try that.

Glad it helped! Good luck with yours.
Sounds beautiful. Love the old thumper engines

Thanks I have one in my 71 wheel horse 800 special. I am gonna attempt to start today.
Nice. Good luck!
I am currently working on an old gilson cement mixer that has this same engine that I fully rebuild. Will post the video later Beautiful engines
Cool. I’d like to see the video!

I have a motor like this that I'm trying to resurrect. Did you do anything with the ignition?
Nope. Just cleaned the points.
Sometimes the serial # is stamped into the fan shroud. Model , Type, serial #. It might be hiding behind the air filter assembly.
Nothing there but good idea.
I have two model 19’s that need this kind of love.
5/16 fuel line
Thank you
It is model 19????

Nice runner.
How about a video on that spark plug tester?

C.R.S. must be kickin in.
I saw that video and even commented on it.
What year was it made iam looking for some parts for mine
The year is unknown. It had no maker’s plate on it.
No smoke, runs great, what are you going to do with it? It would make a good engine for a portable pump.
I haven't decided yet. I wasn't sure it was even going to be savable.
good video
Thanks
Yes, it is missing that piece of tin
I have one of these engines. Which direction does the crank have to spin ? Clockwise?
Yep.......
I cant get good spark on mine, sometimes it's very weak then none at all. Any tips?

Clean the points with contact cleaner / drag a clean biz card through gap to remove dirt
There’s no off switch?
Wait! where she getting oil from?
I am fully restoring one of these for a copar panzer model A
Cool! Good luck with the project.
Put a chunk of heavy carpet upside down under the motor and it will sit there all day running.
Good idea.
Just got me a orange one same design off Facebook marketplace
Nice!
It’s 1950s to 1960s
Model 19??
Not sure, but it does look like a Model 19.
