Well, Matt has done it again… Bought something he didn’t need. This time it’s a barn find lawn tractor in unknown condition. The only reason this caught his eye was the 2 cylinder Briggs and Stratton 18hp opposed twin powerplant sitting in the old beast. After hauling it out of storage, he got to work attempting to get it running. It won’t start, obviously, until some basic repairs are performed. First the Briggs starter was fixed, because it was seized solid. Next, the carb was rebuilt and some weird finding were made regarding the original B&S fuel pump as well as a second Mikuni that was installed for an unknown reason. After some adjustments, the 18 hp engine came to life after many years of being abandoned.
If you enjoy DIY repair videos of old, antique and vintage equipment, you have come to the right place.
