INCREDIBLE 1936 Briggs & Stratton Electronic Ignition Upgrade & Valve Job

In "Uncle Andy Sells A Generator", Taryl goes over what it takes to do a valve job and also upgrade the electronic ignition coil on an old 1936 Briggs & Stratton WM (Washing Machine) engine. Prior to and after the fix, Taryl leaves Uncle Andy to watch the shop for a minute while he runs an errand. He returns to an angry customer that finds out Andy had sold his generator on accident. See how it all plays out here! And as always, There's Your Dinner!!

    Years ago a mouse damaged the windings on my old GE traditional style washer and my wife rejoiced (I'm not convinced she didn't vuck it up) because she had to have a new p.o.s digital front load disaster that never works , I put that old washer and the dryer out in a shed out from the barn and rigged a little Brigs engine to it with a pipe going out the wall of the shed for the exhaust and welded a old tensioner pully from my truck to a tire iron to engage it...guess what the damn thing still works and she has to use it from time to time when her new fancy turd won't work, I use it often to wash my shop and farm clothes, I have about 60' of copper line coiled in a plexiglass box on the roof of the barn that heats the water from the sun ifill it with a water hose the throw then on the clothes line when I'm done and hang them back in my closet in the barn😉

    When I was 9-10 years old I came across an old Briggs engine nearly identical to this one. Grandpa said it hadn't ran since the 1950s when they got electricity on the farm, and I could just have it. I bolted it to a board just like you did, and after a month (in the summer of 1975) of dinking around with it, I got it to run. One day Grandpa and Grandma came to visit, and I showed Grandpa I got his old engine to run. He couldn't believe it! Also mentioning old Kohlers, I have a K160 I have been messing with. Thanks for the memories!

    I came up on an old Briggs engine in a lien sale, it was a ww2 military engine tagged as a replacement engine for something. It had never been installed but the coil had decomposed. I’d never seen anything like it, all the coatings on it had turned to dust. Anyways we had a local surplus store that sold a lot of old stock military parts and they had one but said it was for aesthetic purposes only because they wouldn’t warranty it working, but I started asking around on collectors forums and a guy pointed me to a site that sold new replacement coils, it was just the coil pack and you had to press it on the frame yourself but it worked great. I’d tell you the name of the site but I can’t remember to save my life but I can tell you it was dedicated to restoring those old engines

I own an American made 15 yr old B&S engine and it runs perfectly with simple maintenance. Never pulled the rope over 3 times ever to start and most of the time it fired off on the first pull.

    My 3 horsepower Briggs and Stratton powered lawnmower (92500 engine) started running like crap at higher RPMs & adjusting the carburetor didn't make a difference. The ignition coil eventually blew on it so I used one off a 4 horsepower Briggs and Stratton lawnmower engine that I'm yet to rebuild,the 3 horsepower engine revved out a lot cleaner at higher RPMs then. I have since fitted a brand new ignition coil & it runs great. Regarding that joiner piece that you put in for the spark plug lead,you can insulate it with glue lined heatshrink tubing (Raychem) to insulate it,it will make it a neat job as well !

    I wondered how Briggs & Stratton engines existed before small engines where light (aluminum), affordable and powerful enough so they could be used for residential rotary lawnmowers. I think the miracle of the USA easy to mow residential grass lawn happened after WWII due to availability of practical affordable light weight and powerful enough small engines they could be used for push rotary lawnmowers. I had heard before this B&S engines were used for gasoline powered clothes washing machines back in the 1930s. I wondered why because it seemed vastly more complicated, expensive and noisy than using an electric motor. Then I heard it was common out on homestead farms that might not have a ready connection to electric power. You can just bring the gasoline engined washing machine home and connected it to a water source. You might not have hot water. The expense and ingenuity nature they required made their market with the well equipped USA plain states farmers. I think my grandmother in Lincoln Nebraska said she had a gasoline powered washing machine in her house basement for a while in the 1930s. They also had a coal house furnace at that time as well in the basement so the basement wasn't used as living space. The exhaust was piped to the outside I think similar to how we duct a clothes drier exhaust. That got rid of a lot of the noise. I think my grandmother said they got an electric clothes washer in a few years. She had an admiration for the gasoline powered clothes washing machine, but it was much more maintenance prone, noisy and a bit of dangerous concern with gasoline and the possibility carbon monoxide escape then the electric washing machine. Out on the farm, with gasoline washing machine out in the barn with water supply from a well, these washing machines could really fit. In that situation typically the husband was available and able to attend to the engines maintenance and you could place the machine anywhere you could supply it with water which could be as simple as a metal drum moved in with the tractor. I think my grandmother said people used those gasoline powered washing machines out in farming communities till the late 1950s because you could put them anywhere.

    The holes in the valves were as you assumed to be used with a tool which was very much like a hand cranked egg beater. Rather than going round and round, the tool oscilated back and forth like the way which you used the suction cup grinder,

    Remember that tool. Would oscillate back and forth maybe 45 degrees or so, and had a little flat adapter with two fingers that fit the valve holes. Likely were more with the tool when new, Not sure if that was a BS tool or not? I have a WI that served my motor bike for a couple years around 1955 or so LOL. Still have it and runs.

    Super awesome video as usual! I’m new to the channel, so I’m binge watching the entire series: love it. -I wonder if the low usage of this particular engine is a result of the era? Electric washing machines became more popular in the 40’s. Guess it’s possible they got it, then transitioned to electric shortly thereafter. -As a teenager, my dad took one of these and mounted it to a bicycle and made it into a motorbike. Thanks for an awesome video.

    You can still find them and their head looks a bit like a Dzus fastener "snoopy" tool but part of the point for those slots (common to many old engines) was that you could also use a screwdriver bit in a bit brace or whatever works to lap the valves. Some tools looked like a hand drill and there was quite a variety.

    That reminds me of an engine we had in my basement when I was a kid in the late 50s and 60s with the same kick starter. My dad had a gear type water pump hooked up to it to pump out the basement when it flooded and yes the muffler had a long flexable metal pipe goin outside the house. The gas tank was thick with black gue which I know now was varnish. It never ran but, to see yours run was pretty cool. When you were talking about the valve clips I was thinking pins which you found. It even had the same carborator. Thanks for the memories.Thats a keeper!

    I have a Lincwelder with a twin onan engine. it was left out in the weather. and had no spark. I baked the coil and recoated it on the outside with non vinegar silicon to keep the water resistance. because the baking left cracks in the covering. it runs perfect.

    Some of the exposed wound coils could be baked at low temps to dry out...then dipped in a electric motor varnish and baked at a low temp. There is an air dry coil varnish that can be applied to a open face coil, but you need to have the moisture driven from the coil if possible. Might extend the life of an old coil if the turns are not shorted internally in the winding.

    @@NebukedNezzer Good info. A slow bake over several hours is usually what we did. Then checked with megger. With larger coil/windings, can take a while to cook out moisture. Small coils like this would likely bake out fine. Exposed windings or coils would usually be sprayed after a varnish and bake with Glyptal red insulating paint. Sounds like you had good luck with your repairs. Good deal and a part salvaged. Cool.

    LEFT Handed Threads vs RIGHT Handed Threads ... A Quick and easy way I was taught to distinguish quickly between the two is this: As you are looking at the threads, if the pitch grooves on the right side are further in than the left side it is a RIGHT Handed Thread and you remember it as if you use your RIGHT hand to "punch" the thread in. Likewise, if the thread pitch grooves are further in on the LEFT side it is a LEFT Handed Thread as though you used your LEFT hand to "punch" the threads in. Often time you will have at least a couple of threads exposed beyond the nut to see the angle of the thread pitch grooves.

    the DR trimmer mower because it takes alot of momentum and drives a belt to turn the trimmer head is the only vertical shaft engine that small that i know of that still has the iron flywheel that briggs made for the newer stuff ;;;; those engines were put on trimmer mowers and pressure washers ;; i feel your pain taryl as i rebuilt a 1941 garden aid sickle bar mower ;; it was a 2 wheel tractor with 1 forward speed no reverse with a sickle bar that folded up ; the guy that used it walked along the highway cutting the brush for 20 cents an hour back in the 40s ;;; but if you want to give that motor more power use a flywheel and a coil off of a briggs engine that was on a trimmer mower as briggs still has parts for them ;; as for the flywheel disaster i have broke the end of the crank off like you said and i drilled and tapped the end of the crank and put a grade 8 bolt and steel washer
