    rip 1974 briggs

    So I had a bad coil and put a predator coil on and got her running again. Idled about 5 minutes and then came to a solid seize. Took the head off and carnage. Opened it up and appears it was run without oil previously. scored crank and other damage. Either way it appears the middle ring...

    new engine for a new build.

    I have used cleaner and an ultrasonic cleaning. It doesn't work. This is a simple carb like I had maybe 25 years ago. I want a vintage look somewhat. I am tempted to throw a late 80s carb on and have some fun.

    pretty sure only an idle circuit. When I take the screw all the way in no change and completely out no difference.

    Hmm I need to open this one up and count the bearings. I have read one and I have read dual bearing. Supposedly mines a nice one since it came with a low oil shutoff. Yeah not wanting a mikuni on it now. Wanting an old look flathead, pulled off a tiller or in mycase pressure washer look...

    I went ahead and wrote off that pump and tossed it. after running it the small amount I did the oil was pushing out and cloudy through the sight glass. The pump was trash.

    LED lights series or paralel

    this is true. however since a majority of led either will or will not work only if correct voltage is used being an led they will still drive. but like you said they will each be powered lower until you reach the point where it just physically won't turn on.

    I have come to my wits end with this carb. I cleaned it again, it runs great wide open. Still at idle it is surging constantly. What would be a good carb to throw on it?

    I cleaned again. horrible surging. needle in no change needle out and sitting in my hand nothing changes. Boiled in lemon juice and dawn then ultrasonic cleaned. Gonna have to get a new one. Wish I knew which passages went where. I have a feeling it's the smaller one in the bottom where...

    new engine for a new build.

    3/4 shaft on this particular one from 1995. pump is working. Almost tempted to use the pressure washer. maybe a new predator and this pump then flip it. Don't need 2 pressure washers. But 20 bucks couldn't pass it up. Now have 3 flatheads. probably going to sell the 1974 one. Flathead...
