flat head briggs

Dan, the first two numbers in the Model of a briggs engine is the displacement in inches. That only applies to the newer (post 80s i believe)engines. So if that engine isnt too old it should be a 12ci or 196cc, so that could be 5 or 6hp for sure.

oh thanks heaps it about an 01-02 engine so its pritty new so its 196cc engine. thank you very much

so how do i go about changing the engine from a vert crank to a horazonitel crank, do they have an oil pick up in them that i can just change to pick up the oil from the bottom of the sump or what.

Thanks, Dan

Ok remount the carb so the bowl faces down then make a mount for the engine. Now there are three different ways to go about lubrication first is make an oil dipper for the engine 1/4 steel should, make some kind of a pressure lub system, or just add some extra oil.

extra oil sounds the easyest but would there be a down side to this i cant think of one

 

[Rotore]

Not really might burn oil every once in a while but thats really it

 

[dan]

yer ok i just had a look and i have to change the oil inlet to wear you put the oil in but thats no biggie. just hope i can have the engine now lol

 

[dan]

hey ive got my self a briggs flatty. its pritty mean i just stared it up and it trys to tare my arm of while im holding it here are some pics of it.

 

[Rotore]

Lol u already remounted the carb lol that was some quick work but you said it has exxesive vabration make sure the crank isn't bent

Simply adding extra oil is BAD, then the crank will churn the oil, and make it all foamy, which will take away lubrication from the engine and could cause the engine to seize.

Excessive vibration is likely because it has a light flywheel, so idle will most likely be a lot more jumpy, but the light flywheel will also help it wind out faster and such.

Not enough oil to let the crank churn it just enough so the rod cap makes a splash.

Good luck getting that level just right. easier to just make a small oil dipper out of some thin metal (much thinner than 1/4", more like 1/16").

so whats that in MM lol

 

[Rotore]

I tried 1/16 it ended up churning it into a lil crumpled up piece of metal try 1/8.

 

[dan]

so whats that like 3mm and how do i make this dipper like what it look like

Look at figure 29

 

[dan]

[Rotore]

About an 1" maybe 1.5"

 

[dan]

thanks, Dan
