Briggs & Stratton 5HP FULL RESTORATION! || Part 1: Teardown 

Please remember to subscribe to my channel so you don’t miss any of my restorations! 👊😉

It’s nice seeing the vintage small engines brought back to life instead of being replaced by a cheap harbor freight engine

Always nice watching a small engine resto, I like the amount of content you include

Good vid! I always wipe the oil off of the valve tappet, and mark an I on the intake tappet, and an E on the exhaust with a Sharpie marker, as they may not always be the exact same length. I also check the tappet clearance before fully assembling the engine, I have found tight clearances many a time. The valves wear lower, so the clearance reduces as the engine wears. Sometimes I have to file the side of the valve below the retainer so it will slide thru the guide, if you have to remove the valve, a normal flat bastard file will fit into the valve spring pocket.

This is great! Finally found something that will help me out! Thank you so much!

good work, no music, just the important i love it.

Nice video. Love the push mower with the aftermarket exhaust😂

I have this exact engine on a walk behind leaf blower (it's an MTD air sweeper and the engine was made in 1989 if you're wondering.) And it works but of course the roof sprung a leak and water got in the carb so I have to take the tank off because it's a weird type of carb like the one used in the engine shown in this video. I'll have to do it soon because fall is approaching and I kinda need it.

Well done 👍

nice restoration

Your video really helpt me!! big up !!

Thankyou for your youtube site. This is very informative. I have 2 x Norlett Beaver Powerspades in pieces with two 40 year old 2.5hp Briggs & Stratton engines. Both were dirty cruddy non runners. But today I finished my first, with your video help. Only thing is i would like to have one engine using electronic ignition coil. But cannot find anywhere.

very impressive, i have one i need to rebuild. it's beautiful.

These engines are really simple and take like 15-20 minutes to disassemble and about the same time to reassemble

The indestructible engine. These things live forever. Probably will be running for 40 more years

This man has a performance exhaust on his mower🤣 great video

Love :D

This is top 5 most reliable engines ever built.

Thanks, I got one of these from my grandma. It’s sat in the garage for a few years but I’ve just taken it down. Hopefully it’ll be fixed by tomorrow!

Told ya id watch it

4:19 story of my life right there

HAHAHAHAHAHAAA! Love the header on your mower! Can you tell me what the heighth is of a 5hp and a 3.5 hp?

It’s really surprising, I think you’re the youngest on RU-vid to do full B&S engine restorations. Well done to you and your videos! (PS: my English maybe imperfect because I am French. Greetings from France 👋)

Nice! I have never had one of these that doesn't have some scoring in the bore, IDK why. It's funny, I do the same thing with my old oil, I have an old 1 gal Arizona bottle lol. They're great for storage and you can make some nice oil catch pans with them. The back panels of these engines are always a pain! I usually loosen them with a screw driver and then use a 3 jaw puller to get them off. Can't wait to see part 2! What color are you going to do?

Awesome video man. I have a question about the valves. After removing the valve springs my exhaust valve only comes out half way and the intake is pretty much stuck completely it only moves about a millimeter or two? Thank you

Should be some proud parents!

i dont know if this is a dumb question but would the S&B 5hp have enough juice to do a burnout on a go kart with thin tires?

I'm doing 2 Briggs&Stratton 3hp at the moment. The points were messed up and I'm having hard time finding the electronic spark kit to do away with the points. Any help?

hey man great video but what is the ser. number for yours mine is all rusted up

Where can I find info on what oil to use? I have a 1977 7hp similar to yours.

Would you happen to know what size the bolts are that attaches the flywheel housing to the motor?

I have one but I don't no witch fuel cqn anyone tell me?

what are you doing in your dads garage!

Where do you get rebuild parts at?

Yo si no es de cilindro de hierro no lo toco ni con un palo Termine de tirar a la chatarra uno igual a ese con clindro de aluminio SE pego el piston NUEVO como 4 veces y en Frio Sucede que cuando se gasta la película de cromo del cilindro ya no tiene mas nada que hacer y se pega el pistón

I’m in the middle of rebuilding the same motor but when I toke the flywheel cover of I got swarmed with hornets

No hay chispa

This was the good old days for b&s back then they were bulletproof...too bad the q.c. Went to hell and everything today made in China is worthless.
