Yes sir your suspicions are correct that motor came off a Coleman 4000 Watt generator. Hence the green paint😂. I have the same motor mine's in 1978 it used to be my grandfather's generator and I just got it running again! That's always a joy !
Thanks. I have a vintage Easy Vac leaf vacuum, prototype Troy Built rear tined tiller and early hydrostatic Wheel Horse lawn tractor with this engine. I’d like to make all three run and power the machines like new. Your video gives me courage to restore them. Much obliged.
thx for the insights. I have the same motor--(even the same throttle and possibly the same shaft, )--on a "Little Wonder" leaf blower. its a very heavy 'billy goat' style leaf blower on 3 wheels with a handlebar like a push mower, that you walk behind or drag across the yard to blow gale force wind at your leaves. but I can't get it to run smoothly or at full power. im suspecting low fuel flow, from a clog or bad filter, since the plug indicates its running lean, and it only stays running if the choke is mostly on.
I'd of pulled the valves, cleaned them up, and re-lapped them in. Many of the Briggs flatheads I work on have valves that have worn down into the seat, and need a bit ground off the stem to get the lash back in spec (in .005-.007, ex .009-.011). I'm surprised you didn't break the emulsion tube pulling that carb apart! Good job getting it running. If you find your log splitter, make sure the old engine doesn't have a gear reduction motor as many of them do.
Love watching old B&S engines come back to life! Thanks for sharing with this and you've got a great sense of humor in your commentary.
Thank you for your kind words. Thanks for watching.
Great to see you enjoying and learning about the emulsion tube updraft carb. Mine is a 1981 8hp and after TLC it runs great.
Thank you for watching.

I do enjoy bringing things like this back to life. Thank you for watching.
Enjoyed the video, little engine is happier than it looks!
Thank you for watching.

Yep, Sounds lean to me. Thank you for watching.
I have a 276cc 7hp Briggs I can’t find info on it anywhere. It looks similar and I had it all rebuilt and that thing runs mint first pull it fires

Thanks for watching and the advice.
You got lucky separating the carb halves without first removing that emulsion tube; surprised it did not bend or break.
Yes, you are right, A lesson learned.
That looks like a up draft style carburetor on this classic Briggs and Stratton engine probably has points and condenser ignition system
I should think it does have points and condenser. I was surprised when it had spark. Thank you for watching.
@@RaymoreRepair you are welcome young man 👍😎
You are a character!
Thank you for watching.
I have the same engine on my wood chipper. It also doesn't have a throttle.
Thank you for watching.

Thank you for watching.
i dont think he put any oil in it.
It had oil in it, not all makes on to video. Thank you for watching.
Why bother making these videos when you are unwilling to tell people torques and sequence.
I'll try and do better in the future. Thank you for watching.
It's all in the Briggs repair manual. Their like $10 on E-Bay.
Bro how about giving constructive criticism an not being a negative head 😅
