Oh my gosh, it runs and runs well! I could never do that. Even though I do understand motors pretty well from an old lady standpoint, that was too intricate for me. Great job!

Yep been there,done that. I got involved with Briggs and Stratton engines and the Johnson Iron Horse engines back in the 70s. What you just did my friend, brought a whole lot of memories back. 👍

He's clearly knowledgeable and does an excellent job diagnosing and solving the problems. But in order to make his videos better.He really needs to clean the machine off so that you can see what He is doing and also he needs to show what is that instead of simply showing you the result. So he can go from producing an average video to an excellent video with just a few changes. Anyway thanks for the video and the explanations along with the excellent diagnosis.

should have shown how to adjust those valves, even though they may not have needed adjusting.

I've found those often get the decompression device on the camshaft, stuck in either position, usually from lack of oil changes, but it will cause the exhaust valve to not close completely. I always make sure I buy a Briggs and Stratton engine with the cast iron bore, "IC" has that, or you might as well throw them out as soon as the rings and cylinder are worn.

I noticed the air vane was looped inside of the auto choke thermostat. (triangle). The leading edge of the thermostat should touch the air vane on the outside. Thanks for the video.
