    Free BRIGGS 3.5HP Engine

    So I started to remove the coil to see the model number and it looks as though the stripped wire wasn’t attached to anything. The plug was attached to the coil but I removed it for the photo. Also, the wires on the coil seem fine or are they busted. Where should the stripped wire go. And there...

    Well I watched the video and from what I've read around, won't the pressure the second wrench is applying on the flywheel eventually damage the flywheel. I'm just asking cause I don't want a blown up flywheel

    I removed the flywheel by loosening the nut with a wrench and hammer. How would I re torque the flywheel cause it’s not a nut

    GX160 Won't Start

    Yeah, the last time my engine didn’t start my dad told me to clean out the carb. This time it was the gasket that broke and the fact that the seal was non existent

    GX160 Won't Start

    So I did as mckutzy recommended with the cereal box and printed out a template and cut it out. I made sure to have the little hole in there and used a drill to make sure it’d be there. Installed it and it started second pull. Thanks. Also, what does that little hole do out of curiousity.

    GX160 Won't Start

    Well the entire assembly was bent on the studs. The stock airbox was also damaged so I bought a performance one to replace it. The stock insulator plate was cracked and I didn't really check how it should be assembled I didn't know it even existed after I removed the broken insulator plate. So...

    So if I didn’t order the gasket for the spacer, can I buy rtv or is the gasket necessary

    GX160 Won't Start

    I’m sorry I wasn’t able to get photos since I had disassembled the entire intake side but it looked like the gasket wasn’t making contact and the mounting bolts were bent. I got new mounting bolts and a new gasket and well turns out there’s supposed to be this spacer that goes in between it...

    Predator 420 + comet 40 + 18 in tire?

    I’m pretty sure you’ll be able to get 50 easily. I have a gx160 with a 12:56 on 15 inch tires and that gets me 40 easily. You’re gonna have bigger tires and a much more powerful motor. The issue however is that if you crash you’re gonna be happy you’re alive. I’ve never driven a quad but from...

    I think I’ll try buying a new spark plug since magnetrons are quite expensive and for me, it’s not worth spending money on an engine that doesn’t make that much power.

    It has a magnetron. And I would also trade for an 8hp because more power, but I am not located in your state.

    yeah. sorry for the title, should've put something better. But to answer Hellion's question, I did use the recoil starter to try and check for spark. If there is a way to change the title, I can do it but I don't know how

    Free BRIGGS 3.5HP Engine

    Well my neighbor was getting rid of some stuff and I got a free lawnmower. It has a briggs 3.5hp engine on it and it’s a horizontal shaft engine. I tried it out and it won’t run. The engine won’t spark since that’s the first thing I checked after looking at some stuff online. Anyways, here are...

    GX160 Won't Start

    I think I figured it out, it seems as though the bolts that hold the carburetor have bent which removed the seal from the carb to the actual intake inside the head. How would I fix this

    GX160 Won't Start

    So I took the plug out and it sparks and there wasn’t any oil in the cylinder. The engine still won’t start. I’ve removed the low oil sensor so it’s not that.

    GX160 Won't Start

    So about a month ago I flipped over in my go kart and the plate on the engine which has the throttle lever got bent. When I flipped over the engine also started smoking and then shut off. Now when I recently tried to start the engine it wouldn't start. So is there oil in the combustion chamber...

    Flywheel

    I want to later get a billet flywheel and I know they should be torqued to spec. I don't have a torque wrench. What I want to know is if its okay to just use an impact driver because I have seen RedBeardsGarage install a flywheel without a torque wrench. So is it necessary or can I get away with it?

    Thanks, but what should I search if I'm going to look for hubs. Also, will they be durable in general?

    Wheel Hubs

    So recently I purchased a set of used tires and they came with 3 hole tubeless rims. I have 4 hole rims (currently) and want to know what size hub I would need. Reason I am asking is the ones online are all 2-1/2 inch bolt circles but when I did the math (hole to hole is 3 inches) I figured I...
