This vintage Briggs small engine was on an edger. I have no idea when it last ran, but when I got it, the engine was seized, there was no oil, and the block was full of water. I fully disassemble the engine, clean everything up, hone the cylinder, replace the parts that cannot be salvaged (notably the piston and rings), and reassembly everything. Watch a full Briggs L Head tear down and rebuild in under 30 minutes. 60100 series.
Wow, that was awesome! I love how you just did the basics and left it in its original state. I never thought that thing would run again after having all that water contamination inside, just goes to show you how durable and great those old flat-heads were. Things don’t need to be right on spec, as long as they’re close it’ll run just fine. We used to rebuild these in power mechanics class back in high school, now they don’t offer shop classes anymore. A lot of mechanically clueless people out there anymore!
Thank You for this no nonse approach to a complete rebuild and repair of this little workhorse.
I enjoyed seeing a no-frills rebuild, using the tools, methods, and materials at hand. Nice job.
Extremely helpful . Great editing . Straight and to the point. Only wish the job could actually be done in under 30 minutes. Thanks for sharing
Fantastic video !!!
I love seeing these flathead engines getting heavily modified
Your Mom had to love you washing parts in her sink... I really like your dish washing gloves... Cool old engine..
Video was so good ive watched it 3 times . Good job ! Thank you . Maybe because I have the same engine made in 1987 .
I rebuilt a Tecumseh 3HP horizonal shaft engine that pretty much looked like that B&S 2HP. Nice to hear them fire up after you take the time to fix whatever was wrong with them. Thumbs Up!
I love to restore old engines !
Thank you for posting this! I’m rebuilding a ‘67 right now and didn’t know how to get the valve springs back in without buying the $35 tool. Great trick with the wrench!
That little hole in the top of the starter clutch is an oil hole. It should have a little piece of felt in it to soak up oil. You should oil it there.
Thanks. I needed that. I'm almost done with the removal. Need to order parts, and rebuild.
I thoroughly enjoyed this video. However, there's no way I would have gone through all that trouble without painting it.
Love it man!! Good stuff!!
You are a magician. Awesome work on that restoration. God{Bible] Bless.
Great video, thanks for sharing!
That’s a great video. I’m about to start rebuilding one myself
Good content. Thanks
