PART 3: Junkyard Engine Restore REBUILD CARBURETOR 8 HP BRIGGS and STRATTON riding LAWNMOWER Engine 

Great video! You should use that 8 horse Briggs as a replacement engine on a push mower. It can be done

Thanks for posting this!

This is both timely and invaluable to me. I just brought one of these engines home today, mounted on a near-cherry JD R72 riding mower.

Wow that was a long haul, you are absolutely amazing. Three part vidio and well worth it.👍👍👍.

Jeff, you have some good patience, may God bless you through it. And thanks for the videos.

I have the horizontal shaft industrial commercial version off of Troy-Bilt tiller. Bought new in 83 ,still runs good!

Jeff. you do such a good job with your channel. i have learned a great deal by watching your videos. And i am entertained also - i especially like those beautiful chickens of yours.

Great job on this engine. Getting the carb on looked like a hard handful though but you got it done. The little engine sure sounds good. Thanks for the video.

nice!

Jeff, it should be a nice little engine for somebody! Sounds good and runs smoothly. 👏✌🇺🇸Roger

great video Jeff lots of valuable info. I have one that was vibrating like crazy its apart so figuring out what might be wrong.

Build an engine test stand . I cut the front section off a junk riding mower and made one.

Yeah the one I was talking about was smaller than that on the main jet. So I guess I seeing things

Did you forget the little Brass washer or am I not seeing something

Wonder how fast that would spin if you put it on a swivel!🤪 @24:25. GET THAT SCREWDRIVER AWAY FROM ME!!!

Doggie just had to get some camera time ha ha ! Old Briggs purrs man yeh yeh !😎

I have the same engine but with a different carburetor. I put in a new carb, it has gas, it has a spark but when I rev the car it doesn't start at all. When you look into the spark plug hole, do we have to see how the valve moves?

Hey Jeff I love the work you’re doing I know you’re not a information center. But I have 18 1/2 hp craftsman just getting weak fire could it be in the coil

I’m not sure if you put the brass wash it back in or not if you did I didn’t see it sorry

If you get that strap off your hoodie tie Caught In that screen guard. You’re going to be working on line wars with no head. Same way with that muffler burn burn burn

I was wondering when you would notice the main jet washer.

Do you have a part # for the head gasket. I can't find one, so I won't start tearing down the engine until I do.

There you go I hope you read my post so you know what you did wrong. We all do everything wrong all the time.

You should have asked Earnest to come over to hold the engine down... I'm sure he was willing to help.

Are all the eight horse craftsman motors out of style where you can’t get parts

If I want to use an old key switch to simply turn engine spark on and off would i simply run one wire from the coil to M side of s.witch?? Engine is pull start.

Wow

would you happen to know the oil capacity on this engine? I do not have the correct dipstick and I need to change the oil and don't want to over fill

I have a new spark plug also a new carburetor on my Honda 3000 psi and it still won't turn on

Wish you lived closer to me I’d be interested in that engine I need a replacement for my 1980s Murray I priced out the cost in parts and I found that it would cost more money in parts than it is worth to fix The opposed twin engine that it originally came with. Would love to replace it with a V twin but I think it would run just fine with an 8 hp Briggs even though it originally was 18 hp Briggs I don’t see why an 8 hp Briggs couldn’t power that
