Nice work, my engine looks like it's better condition than this is and turned over just fine with an oil change, took the carb apart and cleaned it but I just need to rebuild the distributor or install a new one as I'm getting no spark despite a new coil with the proper voltage readings.
Well it was definitely going to start. These little beasts will run forever with good maintenance. Though I noticed some hilarious words on the aerosol can for spraying the parts. Am I not the only one that saw Start ya b*****d.
Also did you tap threads into the hole in the 5/8" crank for the centrifugal clutch? I would prefer that over relying on a set screw, Im lazy I don't want to figure out the proper tap, I'd rather sit here smoking and read what everyone else did 😂
Typically I just drill and tap them, takes me all of about 10 minutes. Best one was when I didn’t do up my set screws on my Lil Indian minibike, and as I stopped, the clutch departed and spun off down the street on its own. If you do up the set screws nice, and even drill a small countersunk hole for them to sit into, you shouldn’t have any issues :)
*Where did you order your decals at? And how was the quality? I have a Fox Doodlebug mini bike that needed an original 3hp B&S and I scored a young 3hp B&S, BOTH for free! I really want to run a straight pipe but i have to stay quiet in the neighborhood for police officers 👮
do you have a reference for the air filter used in this mini single carb. i have a 1960 morris mini and cant seem to find the air filter for me. thanks
Hi... I also want to start a 4 cylinder Euro 3 engine which has been sitting idle for last 8 yrs....can you help me with the points that needs to be checked before starting it. And also what extra things are required for cleaning the Pistons
You should try a staged pipe. I fabed one up out of a three stage kart pipe. Had to cut off the flags and thread a 3/4 plummer pipe to it would thread into the exhaust port. Cool thing is you can experiment with different length plum pipe to get exactly what you need. What have you done as far as cams? I have just been hunting through junk yards and stuff for 3 hp engines and profiling every cam I can find. Neve=seen two cams alike so far.
To all the dissers, it looked like it was just a bit of fun. NO ONE is NOT going to take the unit out for a full strip and resto after standing for 30 odd years and expect it to run for long on the road
To all people being sarcastic internet mechanics, chill out its a old a series engine there not exactly the rarest exotic thing in the world its a old piece of British machinery designed in the 1950s its not like in its whole life its never been revved abit from cold
@@ashleyking1688 British crap that sold like hotcakes around the world, and still has people who like them enough to fully restore them. Not bad for a piece of British crap.
I have a 3.5hp briggs flathead from 2000, it has a 3/4 crank, already threaded. i use it for my badger 100 minibike. Just took it off and stuck it on the bike. The block bolts are threaded to the block, makes it easy. Can i use a 5 hp head and where can i find a billet connecting rod, flywheel, all that.
Got a brand new engine out of the car that I can’t get going. Getting fuel air and spark perfect but won’t go. Any tips for getting it going at first? Spray petrol down the manifold?
Try cleaning the fuel lines, or increasing the amount of fuel entering the engine through the carburetor. Once the engine has been ran in it might start a little easier because all of the engines components would of worn into place and function more efficiently.
I take it u got it going now ahaha, was it compression or something silly but easy to do like having the hot leads on the wrong cylinders ahah… don’t ask me how I know that 😂
