The valve stem/tappet interface was not measured for clearance. B&S recommends . 004" gap for the intake valve and .006" gap for the exhaust.

Great job. How convenient that it rotates itself for you while it runs. The white and silver is a great color choice.

Oh I see. It looks like an older 3 HP Briggs engine from possibly the 70s or 80s? I remember my dad worked on a few of those in the past. They were all white mostly. I think this is one of your best engine restorations to date. Almost comparable to Machinery Restorer. ADDED: I went back to one of your older videos you did in the past, and you restored a 3 HP Briggs engine in that same white color.

@AJRestoration

This one is a 1981 model. and yes I did a 3hp before but I could not get it running, so I kind of had to redeem myself. The previous attempt had a bad carburetor, and I could for the life of me not get it to run with that carb. I eventually sold it to a collector, and ever since then I had to try one again. I am pretty happy with the result.

Great job. Congratulations!

Good Job👍

Great work, love watching some quality restoration. I am very new into this and have got a old B&S 3.5hp working for an old mower. Looking to find another for an old Scott Bonnar 45 I want to restore. Any idea where I can find these great motors? I don’t mind getting my hands dirty to get it running. One day it may look as good as your work.

Good ii boss 👍👍😊😊😍😍

Not a torque wrench in sight! Not one bolt torqued to specification as far as I saw! The way it was shaking no doubt something will work loose. Not good for the longevity of this excellent little motor!! A nice paint job and is very clean though.

Do you sell the restored engines afterwards? If so, what would one like this cost after restoration? Looks amazing!

@AJRestoration

10 ай бұрын

I dont sell any of my restorations, I just hoard everything haha. Sometimes I give things away if someone likes it a lot. I have no idea what something would cost after a restoration. To me its priceless, but to someone else it might be worth less than what it was before the restoration since it removes the patina and what what.

Why didn't you have to gap the points or the coil ? Also why the color change from black to white 🤔 any special reason? I just want to know. You do good work.

@AJRestoration

2 жыл бұрын

In my experience I never had to gap them, I just keep the gap not too small, and not too big, just right. The same with the coil, I had them gapped correctly, and gapped it all the way the largest it could go, and it ran the same, no issues. Since then I never bothered with finnicky gapping specs, In my eyes its a waste of time, especially with small engines such as these.

Beautiful job. Will you continue to use this for your compressor?

I usually tighten it around 53 in-lb. Its not a critical point so I usually hand tighten and then a little more so it wont come loose with vibrations. The head bolts, conrod bolts and flywheel nut are the critical ones. Those have specific specifications.

I have this exact same engine on a wizard tiller that has been passed down from my great grandfather. It's in need of a restoration but I can't seem to find those replacement decals. Are you making them yourself or were you able to find them somewhere?
