You shouldn't have to replace the end of the ratchet for the pull start. if it starts to squeal and and seize onto the shaft, simply sand the end of the crank where it rides, run some steel wool inside the starter clutch, and lube with Automatic Transmission fluid. Great video man, just got done doing this myself. I got a Snowbird Snowblower from my grandpa and im cleaning everything up real nice.
nice video ..I was looking for your link on how to remove the flywheel …did you make one ..you cut that out on your video and was hoping to see that part especially …thanks mate ..
Ok I got a 8 hp briggs moter that is acting like it is trying to lock up n it is a pull start so I turn it backwards about 3 times n it will try to crank then stops like it gets oil on top how do u fix it
so I am wanting to revive a 5 horse horizontal with dual shaft (PTO) exactly like this one, but the cylinder wall is in bad shape. if I get another Briggs 5 horse, with a single shaft, should I be able to transfer the sump with the cam speed reducer onto the newer Briggs? any special tools needed? I wasn't able to find a video of that on the tube. might be an interesting project
Are you going to rebuild it or scrap it?
SELL IT
what a smashing teardown, ive never seen one of those but i have a good idea how to deal with one now, thanks 🙂
Yep EricTheCarGuy is a smashing man, like yourself, sharing your skill in simple vids 🙂
that engine looked cruddy but not un-repairable.
Fantastic camera work and the intro is top notch. Well done !!

thats fricken awesome!
I have a Briggs and Stratton model 6S 1.6 hp that was built in October 1950, still runs great.

What makes the points arm move? Is it there a lobe on the crank shaft like the cam shaft/valve lobes?
