    Is this a vintage 60's Briggs?

    Other than the Yam seat this old bike looks to be an original B&S from back in the day, I have an opportunity to pick this up on the cheap. Does this look to be original? apparently it runs and drives pretty good as well. The smoke in the background is from a goped. Thoughts?

    What size air filter bolt is used on older 2hp Briggs?

    Just bought a replacement air Cleaner with filter but I'm missing the bolt that screws into the carb. This is an older Briggs 2hp engine. It has the straight carb with tank attached. What size bolt is used to hold down air cleaner housing?

    aftermarket parts for old Briggs?

    I just got back from my local Briggs parts supplier. Im suffering from sticker shock. While I was happy to actually find a knowledgeable parts man, he wasn't able to help much. He told me that briggs n stratton was trying to phase out the old flat heads, discontinuing many parts and over pricing...

    Torque requirements for stock Briggs?

    Does anyone have a list of torque requirements for stock Briggs rod cap, side cover, head and other various parts? I believe the 3HP is 110 inch pounds for the rod cap and side cover and 165 inch pounds for the head but what about the 5HP and the 8HP?

    2 Cycling a 4 cycle Briggs?

    Has anyone ever attempted to turn a 4 cycle Briggs into a 2 cycle? I am curious as to what would happen if one were to attempt to add two more lobes on the camshaft. (Directly opposite of the existing ones) I wonder what such a contraption would sound like.

    6.5hp Clone or GX200 carb on a Briggs?

    Has anybody ever used a 6.5hp clone or GX200 carb on a 5hp Briggs? :shrug: My buddy and I were hanging out in the shop talking the other night and he asked me because he was thinking about trying it. :thumbsup:

    Theory of 2 Tillys on 1 5hp briggs?

    Lets say i have the means and desire to craft an intake for 2 tillys, what tillys would you use and could they be mounted in any rotation(ie. upside down) i would think this would work best with 2 gas tillys running alcohol not saying this would work any better than 1 good tilly.

    3.5hp = 5 hp Briggs?

    Hey whats the deal my briggs 3.5 hp briggs motor and my 5 hp briggs take alot of the same parts. Even my 5hp piston slides into the 3.5 head with no issues. Is it the head and the length of the piston stroke that makes the difference? Longer Rod ? Crank ?

    crank for 4 hp briggs?

    been talking about supercharging a flathead Briggs. The only one I have in the barn is a 4 horse with a 6:1 gear reduction box on it. Where can I get a crank with 3/4 inch shaft for this project?

    old head on newer 3.5 Briggs?

    So I'm working on the motor for Tetanus Shot. It's a newer 3.5 Briggs with a bearing crank. This style seems to have an open chamber style head?? Has anyone tried to use an earlier head? Maybe they are the same and it's an optical illusion? I guess pics would help but I do no have an early head...

    External differences between 4 and 5 horse briggs?

    I know there's a similar thread about 4hp vs 5hp motors, but I have a different question and didn't want to hijack his. I'm restoring a bike that originally came with a 4 horse, and I have a good running 5 horse sitting in the garage. How do these motors differ in appearance? Anything really...

    Whattya'll think of this little Briggs?

    3.5hp Briggs-Stratton Engine Industrial Plus 93432-0192 | eBay Seems well priced and has the right shaft. Take that silly gas tank and all that other crunk plastic and I think it would look good with an external tank set up?? Any experience/thoughts on this engine?

    Home made kick start for a 3hp Briggs?

    Does anybody have any pictures or even a how-to on how I could make a homemade kick start that would work on a 3hp Briggs & Stratton? :shrug: I would prefer if this kick start still used the original shroud. :smile:
