9 years in business at Eliminator Performance and yes we have had valve issues but never this much wear on a lobe of the camshaft. Amazing it would wear that much. Thanks for this one Bob.

Wow. Like you the cam was the last thing I would have thought of. Blower looked like it was well cared for. Was expecting the plastic cam shaft and surprised it was metal. Maybe the lobe wasn’t hardened enough? Steel on steel you would think the cam would outlast the rest of the blower. Good video!

Very good diagnosis process Bob. New cam and you should be good to go. I think low zinc in these engine oils causes alot of these problems! 👍🎥🇺🇸

NIce video: I have several Briggs engines in my shop with bad cams this last year. Mostly, however, it has been the compression release failure that failed. Back ordered from Briggs for 6 months or so. I ordered aftermarket cams and fortunately have not had any issues knock on wood. Thanks for excellent video's.

@JShep-yu3ki Жыл бұрын

I've had 2 aftermarket cams fail on me in the last 8 months. They both failed within a half dozen starts. One had both cam lobes spin on the shaft and the second had the cam gear spin on the shaft. They're pressed on the shaft and it obviously didn't have enough interference fit to keep them in place. I guess you get what you pay for in the aftermarket.

@@JShep-yu3ki It makes me wonder, can you do some tack welds to keep the lobe secured to the cam ? Unless it's them $%&* "plastic" cams.

@JShep-yu3ki Жыл бұрын

@@rverro8478 it wasn't a plastic cam but once the cam gear spun, I would have been guessing where to put the timing mark with respect to the lobes so I got the timing right. I just threw it away and got my money back from the seller.

Good diagnosis. When I change me mower or snow blower oil every season I run it through a paint filter to look for any metallic particles. Been using full synthetic for about 30 years and have never seen a problem.

That was a crazy one for sure. With that much wear l am going to guess the other shop adjusted the valves when they had it in for the new carb? Very good catch sir had my mind working as you was going.

@berardia4 Жыл бұрын

Good video.. Before you tore the engine apart I was thinking check the pushrod. Possibly it was too short. But probably lack of oil or bad casting (but I question that if the other lobe is good.)

@elgkas9928 Жыл бұрын

Someone had to be in that head adjusting the rocker arm previously to take up the wear on the cam. If not, the excessive clearance between the tappet and the cam lobe would have caused a no start condition from the exhaust valve not opening.

Good work there bob , shame though the lobe wore down on that camshaft wonder if a lack of oil changes caused this since it had metal in there prob loss of viscosity.

I bought a used 1350 which I believe is about 9 hp as a repower. It starts fine with pull cord when cold but after running just a few minutes it will only start with electric starter. If it sits a bit it will again start with pull cord. It runs and blows fine. I tried carb and coil swaps. No change. Checked flywheel key. Adjusted valves. Did leakdown and compression. I also suspected too much compression release. I even put a degree wheel on it and compared results with an 850 model. IIRC I even checked lift with a dial gauge. I gave up , not wanting to open it up. Maybe it's the cam in an earlier stage of failure than the one in this video

Nikki carb, it more than likely was run with gas in the crankshaft in its past. probably why they changed the carb. very common with those carbs for the float to stick and fill the crank with gas. I always shut off the gas after using it solely because of these.
