Thank you for your channel. Watch how fix a Honda carb. You save me a lot of money and time. Next thing is this old snowblower I was given.

thanks for teaching me another way to clean the valves seat so, I don't have to remove them, thanks again Master!

I think it’ll definitely run on 90 psi. Ideally it should be higher, but for its age, thats a respectable number.

Came across the same problem with a Honda 160 engine the other day. Owner thought it was junk. Mower sat untouched for a few years. My guess is the cam sat with that intake valve open for that time span.

I would think it's not until roughly 70 PSI that you'll have issues, 90 ish PSI, you are golden!

I agree! I'm also an old school Briggs fan that started working on small engines a lot as a teenager back in the 1970's. I even spent my grass cutting money on the Foley Belsaw small engine repair correspondence course that used to be advertised in all of the Popular Mechanics magazines back then. I still have the certificates/diplomas framed and hanging on my garage wall. I made more than enough money to recoup the cost of it. It helped me to become a good auto mechanic and race engine builder too because of learning all of the basic principles for engine performance. I also used to soup up the Briggs 5 HP racing go kart engines for a neighbor. His son won a lot of trophies with them! That stuff was fun!

Briggs & Stratton recommends turning the crankshaft backwards to arrive at the correct compression since the intake lobe has an extra duration of slight lift at the end of the intake event, beginning of the compression stroke. This bleeds off some compression to make it easier to crank at slow speeds. Cranking it backwards allows full compression to be accomplished.

I love your channel,your personality and the fact that you know exactly what you're doing. That thing will run after you get fuel and spark. I promise. Thanks Steve

I think once you run the machine after the heat and expansion on the rings, and the new oil temp is up, the compression will come be higher. Throughout the video, you gave us some clarity on different point of the information.

@charleseck3941

3 жыл бұрын

@@joefudd I disagree Joe. The cross hatch pattern allows for a very thin layer of oil to remain on the cylinder, for the next piston/ring pass. The micro grooves of the cross hatch hold oil in place, thereby allowing the oil to decrease friction, and therefore wear. A “glassy” cylinder wears faster than a properly honed cylinder because of the retained oil in the hone grooves, as well as the decreased surface area of contact between the rings and the cylinder wall.

Steve, I love your videos. I find them really helpful for my piddling around with lawn mowers and generators. Keep the videos coming and thanks for all the expertise and detail you are sharing. I did however cringe a little when I saw you using the wire wheels with no eye protection. That may have been something I would have done as a younger man but now a days I am a lot more cautious and concerned about my safety. Take care

Actually he is pretty safe in this particular instance since he is using a very very low RPM drill in lieu of a high speed air or electric die grinder or angle grinder which can (and does) launch individual wire strands into low earth orbits or if you're unlucky, it will launch them with enough force to penetrate clothing and the first layer of the epidermis. The angle of the wheel is also something to be noted, since the danger area is where your sensitive body parts are in-line with the whirring end of the wire brush. Don't gaze into that abyss unless you are wearing eyepro. 😵

I just had a 5hp Tecumseh snowblower that would run but fail under load, anything more than an inch. Turned out that it only had 45 pounds of compression. Had a valve with no gap so i did a valve job and ground it down and lapped both of them. Got it back together and it made 95 pounds and it blows snow pretty good, it's just not a spring chicken anymore but like me it gets the job done.
