Hy Bruce, it’s Maik from Germany again here, watching your amazing videos. The last months were crazy and I am happy that you’re fine. I am still very interesting in those little machines but I have to admit that I am not the born mechanic 😂 My tries to repair the two mowers were not very successful, ended up in a call to the repair service. But I learned a lot and I’m still interested in these little tricky engines. Take care, keep on going and stay healthy 👍😘🐝☀️🇩🇪

Great job Bruce.... As always, I've put a new ready start system on an old briggs, the only thing that's a challenge is the small spring for the ready choke placement, if the engine doesn't have the bottom air shroud, if it has one then you can drill a small hole for the other end of the spring, but if it doesn't have one you can drill a small hole in the aluminum cooling fin for spring placement, I've also changed that type of engine to a pulsa prime, the only thing you need to do that is a longer inlet tube for the carb...and a straight pvc aluminum tube instead of the bent one..or turn it 360° so the tube faces upwards instead of downwards... . . And another top of the engine shroud, I did it on an older 83 snapper with the big surround gas tank, took that completely off and just used a top from a pulsa prime type engine.

Bruce, with a mower like that, if it is in good shape and nice, I would polish it up nice and clean to look shinny, then sell it for $100.00 bucks down here. If they don't want to pay that, you let them bring you down a few dollars, but you still make something on it. I did it at a flea market, I cleaned it with some polish and the guy thought it was like a new mower. Sold it for $ 100.00 dollars.

Bruce; I have a question for you. Do you use fogging oil/spray in your small engines when you put them away for the season? The reason I ask is because I have taken to doing that annually and everything starts right up when I am ready to use it again. The cylinders stay nice and lubed that way. It seems to be a good practice as far as I can tell.

Now just so you know, the plastic tops on those cables, sometimes they unscrew, grab the cable gently with a pair of pliers, and the plastic part should unscrew from the cable, and it screws right back on, but while you have it unscrewed use one of these, Mustie1 turned me on to it, and it works with 90% of frozen cables, not all but I have good success with most, but here is a link www.ebay.com/itm/123163334847

But you have to unscrew the the plastic tip off the cable so the lubricator will clamp on too the cable. If you use the lubricator correctly it will force the lube down the inside of the cable.
