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

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.

Thanks for posting this!

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

nice!

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

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

Wow

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

1.0 litre (1.06qt) of SAE 30 for that 8HP. I have the same engine and just did an oil change. That amount took it up to the full mark.

Nice quiet muffler, Part #.??? The B/S muffler is not as quiet.

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
