b&s

Some missing springs and linkage are preventing me from hooking up a throttle cable and maybe part of the dreaded no-start problem as well. (Good spark, fresh gas, good compression) Any idea where I may be able to get needed parts? It's a 1958!

What oil weight should I use? I'd like to run synthetic as well.

Is it possible to get a color of a 50's vintage? If not can you suggest something close? Thanks

What hp? What year is it? Is the pto side cover interchangable? i wish to shorten the cam and get a side cover with the 4 bolt hole pattern for mounting a torque converter. Thanks!

Got the engine from the scrap yard with a busted rod, apparently no damage to the block other than the topside oil filler/dip stick boss. It came with a splined short crank shaft attached to a gear reducer of sorts that was trashed in the inside. I am looking at replacing the crank with a...

What's the average Rpm Range on stock World formula?

I have a B&S I/C that came with a Dune Cat I am restoring. I need some help identifying the model number so I can get gaskets and other parts. The model number that was stamped on starter shroud is illegible. I have already removed the carb, muffler and gas tank. IF those items are needed to...

Looking for a 5HP Briggs&Stratton front mount gas tank. Clean inside and cap.:thumbsup:

Hi there. I was at the dump last summer and found myself a 70's Gilson front tine tiller. This thing is pretty beat up but it had a nice solid what appears to be a mid to late 70's 5hp Briggs Flatty. Picket it up for $18 in scrap weight. The engine block and tank have that light blue metalic...

Would there be any performance gain by installing 1.3 rockers and proper springs in an otherwise stock animal? Thanks

I have a 5hp briggs that was sold and labeled by Montgomery Wards, Long shot I know but does anybody know of any repop stickers for it? The warnings and info stuff are easy as they are the normal briggs but dad wants to paint it back pretty and sit it on the shelf if I decide not to use it...

I just came across a new source for B&S parts. I was looking for a 495606 carb overhaul kit and they had it in stock and it delivered in two days. Not bad. https://www.outdoorpowerdirect.com/

I got the motor all cleaned up repainted, removed carbon build, grinded out a key way for the clutch, threaded the shaft to drop in a bolt but now I'm a bit stuck. I have no clue how to properly set the throttle or if I need all the linages and spring that are on there already any help would...

Hello, I'm new to the forum. I have a Craftsman weed cutter with a 6hp B&S Quantum engine. It was in storage for a long while. Before trying to restart it I drained the old fuel, removed and dismantled the carburetor, cleaned it and replaced some gaskets. Also replaced the throttle spring and...

Hey Y'all... I was out riding our little Alsport Mts-30 trike yesterday evening and had been riding probably 15 minutes on the road....not going very fast...and not really putting a strain on the engine....so I'm going down a small incline, and the trike starts coasting at a speed faster than...

Hi Guys , I have a Vintage B&S 3 hp model 80202 with two oil caps and two drain screws. My first question is i only put oil in one side , and fill it until i saw a little oil coming up before it reached the treads of the oil cap was that correct . My second question is a after running it for...

Greetings! I believe that I have a Tote Gote 600. My grandpa bought it in Utah in the late 60's (?). It looks like it has been repainted and I can't find any serial number or model number on the frame. I'm trying to identify the motor. I had it running last year but the recoil mechanism broke...
