This was pleasing to watch. I especially like the pairing with the reciprocating pump. It was an excellent demonstration choice. Thank you for sharing this project.
My son and I truly enjoy watching your repair and restoration videos. We find them very informative and relaxing. Thank you for your excellent channel!
thats a beautiful engine, bullet proof design and very reliable, I noticed the care with which he dismantled the engine, cleaned it and assembled it all together. Kept that patina and did not clean the engine on the outside
Excellent videos, you could do with a piston ring compression tool though, makes it easier to install the piston's, I used to struggle getting the piston's back in but that tool is great, keep up the great work of restoring these great old engines you do an excellent job every time
Wow, good and amazing work. I would never learn that stuff to repair these motors / machines. Your films are pretty nice to watch and to learn, of course. cheerio Toni
Very nice, I like the sympathetic restoration, something that seems to be dying out these day. Ive just finished a Maytag twin, in the same style as yours, part way through a Maytag single, that is a new paint job, and early in the new year I will be doing a sympathetic re-build on 1928 Version of your Briggs FH
This transcends race, colour, religion, language, politics just about everything except the pleasure we all get from seeing something neglected brought back to life. Osoreirimasu
Yes, very pleasant to watch. It seemed that you improved the design of the cooling system very much. The original design had large fins on the cylinder, and very little on the cylinder head. The exhaust valve needs much more cooling air than the rest of the engine. Is this modification commonly done, or is it your knowledge?
Really nice! I am amazed how well your stick welds are! Are you using an inverter? Oh and I came across a nice tip lately, for old rusty or casted parts with rough surfaces, you can use a "stove blacking paste". It looks really great, it protects the patina and blackens the surface. Its also called "stove polish" sometimes. You should really give it a try if you can find it in Japan.
Did you make the cart that it sits on? That's such a nice display piece, you've done a great job! This engine was likely made around 1930, plus or minus a few years.
The valve system on this engine is strange, the intake valve has no method of actuation. It took me awhile of staring at the engine until I think I figured out how it works. The engine uses crank case pressure to force the valve open with fuel from what looks like a primitive fuel injector/carburetor. I've seen other engines with this setup on this channel, but none were clear enough on how the intake valve worked.
The intake valve is opened by the negative pressure of the cylinder. Since the intake valve spring is designed to be soft, high speed rotation is not good :)
I think I know why you extended the front air deflected to cover the head. Probably because it was getting to hot witch caused the rings to get stuck. I would also assume that’s why it was put up. Just a guess but another great job.
Buen tabajo para que función, pero ya que lo desarmo todo una restauración a fondo y esa maquinita daría pena usarla., que lástima. Así y todo está bueno hacer funcionar una maquinita antigua 👌
Thank you! Although this engine is FH type, the housing was a different L1 type. I was welded because the length was insufficient. 16:25 is a picture of before and after ;)
