Yep!!!! Ol Skool! Nice Fellas!

well I am new to you guys ALpost channel so I wont comment. Like what your doing and wish I could do some of it myself. I would love to build a fast highly modified mini bike sleeper. Dan McKinney TX

Flip your coil around and put it on backwards for an easy timming change

i used to work at briggs an stratton in sherrill ny. and they set all of there motors to red line at 3,500 to 3,600rpm roughly. they make most of there mowers in NY and there generators in Wisconsin.. they also use honda motors on there mowers also

Love John's reaction to the governor. Back before Honda this is what we all ran. Run the engine and us a file for the crank instead of the grinder.

On all briggs motors the first two digits of the code number on the engine shroud is the year of manufacture

use Diesel oil

Crime doesn't pay!!! Cutting corners is just being lazy!! Do it right the first time, or don't bother. Good work ethics always prevails!! You guys already know this!! I know you had the coil on hand, and you figured why not. Thanks for sharing fellas!!

You guys were better before all the ads and fame and all that shit

Oasis was the word you were looking for (florist foam)

iuse to get my 5 horse briggs for my go karts and mini bikes i would get them off of old garden tillers most of time time they low time engine and with a little t l c they run just fine and i could get old tillers cheapand at this time lm putting 3 1\2 briggs engine on a three wheel bike and i got the engine off of an old edger that someone put in a dumpster the engine is a very low time engine it looks new i think they bot the edger used one year and when the gas whent dad over time winter and it didnt start next spring they put it in the dumpser when i got it all i had to do to it was clesn the carb put good gas in it and it ran perfect so now im going to end up with it on my three wheel bike i plane on using to save gas getting back and forth to town

I have that exact same generator. That coil hack is gonna help me out in the future I'm sure

15:35 *Satan approaches in the background*

thank you for doing the old briggs for me ty

"Cuhhz"

I love the old school mini bike frame for it, but I was hoping for another custom bike where you utilized the generator handle for the handlebars.

I have a few old 3.5hp b&s lawnmower engines lying around and I thought it would be cool to use to power a go kart I'm planning on. Is there any modification needed to use an upright shaft engine as a horizontal shaft engine other than the position of the carb. I'm thinking mainly about internal lubrication.

Looks great. Awesome work guys! You guys are the mini pro's though!

35% more fuel for an increase in power

Great Video

Grab a grinding belt. Start the engine and use the belt with your hands to turn down the crank. It's only .03 oversized.

Non detergent oil for engines with slingers and dippers. Detergent oil foams up. The way those engines are oiled is basically like an egg beater splashing oil all over the place.

"Abandoned"... sure Mr. Thief XD

Well bypassing the governor made that Willy stand up and started dancing I haven't seen this video when it was uploaded I started watching your videos when you only had like 20 or 30 videos I'm looking for the part 2 right now

Old school 👍👍

How does it get its timing point? Is there a sensor involved?

14:38 if you guys would have just cleaned and regapped the points to .020, you could have saved a bunch of heartache

Lol WHY did you clean out that gas tank INSIDE the shop 😂

Hell put a billet crank con rod cam some upgraded lifters springs valves and a billet flat head do a rat rod rustic paint job on it and slap it on the rat rod wagon

It’ll be fine😂

Just a question can you guys make a video to how to remove a 212 predator because I want to make my go kart faster and like you guys have more experience and thank you🙏🔥

Me being a huge Briggs fan and in my younger days never having enough cash for a newer engine I watched this episode having flashbacks of the good old days when the Briggs never let me down. Can’t beat the Honda clones though there’s just to much aftermarket support to squeeze every little hp you can out of them. Used to almost get a Briggs for free back then though

You gotta be kidding me with all those toys and power wheels. Big haul

This my second favorite channel now these two have fun just like nore and efn on drink champs

Don't feel bad guys, those filters are pretty much just junk imo...

props to the fixed-frame guys.. that's TOUGH them little doodle bugs sure can take a beating!

If the motor is running at fairly high rpms, wouldn't a little more advance be good? Like in a generator?

I'm sorry, but I want to hear every last juicy secret you know about these classics👍🏼

I think the governor on the parts engine that runs off the air from the flywheel is actually a choke. Correct me if I’m wrong.

Omg I go to ocracoke every year and my family owns the slushy stand

This is awesome to see ,we build and race mini bikes in Cali every weekend 😎

Dr Issac is scary! Every day is like Christmas with packages from Go Power Sports.

It should be called Old Glory.... Old-school American.

I don't care what it takes, I have to have a special episode of Ike sitting in a rocking chair w/ glasses and a pipe and a long beard reading his Briggs memoirs..... All narrated by John who would be the 4th all between us and Ike. 😂🤣 Edit: 26:16 - I swear Ike runs on gas and that's why he uses Gatorade bottles.... Just so he can sneak some and nobody questions if he knows which is which. He knows, he's just refueling... Don't ask about the oil. 🙄

Nice job getting that old girl started again.

I knew you were about to say ‘florist foam’

What clutch did you use?

Just fixed up one of these engines a few months ago. Besides that the pull start randomly squeaks like hell I like it alot.

How long did it take to put together?

Gen tech here. We have maintenance agreements with customers if they choose where we come out and maintain services on generators annually and semi annual inspections if they choose. But yes a lot get neglected

Bully clutch

when you shift you go down then up

I know they make adaptors for tapered shafts but I've never used one.

so what is the price for all that stuff

I used one of the "it'll be fine stickers in the bumper if my custom Coleman. Tilted_jelli on IG

Damn I NEED one of them hats

A few things 1. That's a Grand Prix mini bike. Taiwanese made and sold under a lot of different names, including Deltek 2. The engine size is stamped on the side of the tins above the gas tank. The first two digits should tell you the displacement. You can look that up to determine the power rating. 3. Awesome video. Keep 'em coming!

you will be happy at the rpms they will turn and the power they make

Just convince that exhaust with a hammer!

you need a supply of those diaphram gaskets they dont last long when they go bad hard to start

take the head off and on a flat surface sand the head to increase compression the flywheel I was talking about on a 3 hp was aluminum

and change carb feed tube to weedeater filter and tube

Dude I love my Ducati 900 sport ie dry clutch and all. 🥰

these are some mods i use to do to briggs 5 hp when I raced them: exhaust springs on both valves, set timing with advance key or measure 125 thousand down in hole and line up coil with leading edge of flywheel magnet we just would use locktight on crank worked fine, set valves on 004 open feed hole in stock carb with drill increaase jet size with , run methanol fuel use 3 hp briggs flywheel

What I heard John say to Isaac was "You sure have a pretty mouth"

Don't use a grinder. Go with a flat file.

keep it ole school brother...

Can you replace a water pump engine and make it mini bike engine??

Hey guys I would love some advice on this. I own a 82 250r looking to beef up the disc brakes. I am looking on go power sports but don’t know what I need.

I turned down a tapered shaft to 3/4 keyed with a grinder and dremel

Ike your brother looks and sounds so eerily similar to you

Generators have an easier life than a go kart engine? 😂😂😂 Generator engines usually never get serviced and you only see them in for repair when they are fucked and the oil is the thickness of treacle. But sometimes you can get a good generator engine depends on owner.

It even came with factory handlebars.

Hey fellas, Hope you are both fine! Hey do you have any idea what is going on at Go Powersports? Been trying to order parts for last 3 mos. kept getting delayed! Now my credit card for all my orders was refunded and no one is answering the phone! And.. getting the “mailbox is full” error when trying to leave voice mails! Any clue!

You should do a briggs and Stratton old school mods build.

Great build. I think the only thing it would need is a little wider wheels and tires.

you just have to get that stupid Flat can muffler off there and put on a Hot-Dog muffler - thats what all old mini bikes ran......

Damn! That looks familiar. Takes me back to teen years and the tiller we used to have. It had front tines and that was the drive. We'd start it up and let the tines pull it from the garage out to the garden. Might've been the same engine model too.

You can slot the coil and adjust the timing there.

That "Briggs Mod by Ike" sounds pretty good. I'd like my son and grandson to watch and learn a few tricks. We have all kinds of small engines here and come across plenty others.
