Racing Mower Builds / Re: My C/P Build for '08
« on: November 10, 2007, 01:56:50 am »Look at his signature......... It explains everything
Thats a quote from "monstermurray"
His name is not Justin...its John. I'm sure we can all remember him.
See link....

Briggs Flathead / Re: Weak Spark

If you have rusted magnets, and it makes that gap less than .010 its NOT going to have spark, or the amount thats needed.

Briggs Flathead / Re: Weak Spark
« on: September 14, 2007, 10:12:23 am »Your not arguing with me anymore, you challenging research and testing conducted the leading small engine producer in the world. So, an entire companys research that has been around longer than you and your dad combined, your challenging with 3 years experience, fixing a few lawnmowers and maintaining your own? Your telling
them that their reserach is mistaken and that indeed, you have the right
answers?
To do the same research, you'd have to be a mechanical engineer that has been working for Briggs for years like the guys doing the tests are, along with using alot of special equipment. AND have a deep understanding of how things work, far beyong just basic electricity and magnets....
-Casey
Research and testing? lets see that research and testing. If you can't post something by Briggs and Stratton on an Official site, you don't have prof. That and I don't think B&S have so much time on there hands to be siting around and letting there magnets rust. See if rusted flywheel magnets worked so good, they'd come rusted from the factory.
I've also got a electric engineer for a brother hes a lot older and smarter then you, even he knows from working on these engines that rusted flywheel magnets will cause weak spark, if any at all.
I know you said that you have more experience than BriggsandStratton1218, but I'd like to be enlightened on how you have come to be so experienced.
It doesn't take your facts, just some brans and basic knowledge of science.

Briggs Flathead / Re: Weak Spark
« on: September 14, 2007, 04:38:27 am »Well if you have test data and results i would be happy to see it!
And sorry, but unless you own your own small engine repair business and it is very large, I have much more experience than you do. Yes I have worked on points.
I have worked on some of the very first Briggs and Stratton engines, that had the entire ignition systems contained inside the flywheels (no points plunger) that were chain driven kick start, as well as everything in between up to brand new Briggs & Strattons. Heck, I've worked on engines that didnt even have electrical ignition.
First thing, is that with points, electricity actually passes through the points and the condenser. Electicity does not travel between flywheel and armature. Therefore, the given illustration is void. The typical amounts of rust between the flywheel and armature would not change the voltage produced. End of story.
Another thing is you say "bright blue spark" The color of the spark has nothing to do with the strength, voltage, or duration of the spark. This is another FACT strait from Briggs & Stratton research (as well as anyplace else that researched sparks) . The color is affected by many things such as the gap, the type of metal it is jumping between, and what is in the air the spark is traveling through to get to the other electrode.
Sorry about this to all you folks who arent in this.
But, it just really bugs me when somebody ensists something is true, but has nothing to back it up with.
Happy building and racing!!
-Casey
Sanding the flywheel magnets when they are rusty will make better spark strength. It happens a lot when engines sit a long time out side, the magnets get rusty thus causing weak spark. Thats why when that happens you have to clean them.

Well I'm glad your ok, thats very important 
I guess now you know its not very safe to ride Goliath in the water, remember here at mowbetter where all about safety. Also your mower being that high don't you think its not safe to ride with out a helmet? back to safety again.

Chassis / Re: can you lower a mower without a welder?
« on: April 17, 2007, 03:16:46 pm »at mowbetter i thought we were about speed. i type fast, and i dont wory as long as you can tell what the words mean. the steering and all that are the bars the wheels are attached to.
we already established that i can be retaerded.
Yet again he has established that he is retarded.

NO THIS IS NOT A CHAT ROOM!!!!!.... This stuff will be on hear a very long time, so use the spell check and punctuation.
(Think of mowbetter as a big book that every one can write in, a book that lots of people read and your writing reflects if your smart or a retarded Public School statistic)
