How do you change the oil in a Briggs and stratton classic 3.5 hp engine?

Remove oil fill plug raise motor carefully and remove plug in bottom of motor where blade is and let the oil let the oil drain out into a pail. Put plug back in bottom after oil is drained out. Refill from the top. If you have a dip stick fill to full mark. If it is the old style fill to to the bottom of the fill hole.

How do Small engines work?

they work using the four stroke system

the first stroke is the induction as the induction valve is open and the exhaust is closed the descending piston draws the air/fuel mixture in to the cylinder bore.

step two compression

both valves are closed as the piston travels up the air fuel mixture is compressed at tdc the spark occurs and ignites the fuel

step three exhaust

the exhaust vale opens and as atmospheric pressure rises with the rising piston the exhaust gasses are forced out through the exhaust valve

step four is the repat of step one

Can you drive any kind of scooter in Illinois on the streets without a drivers license?

No. All scooter or moped operators must have a valid driver's license; for a car if 49cc or less, for a small motorcycle if 50cc to 150cc, and for a large motorcycle if larger than 150cc. All mopeds/scooters must be registered with the state, you must have plates, and you must have insurance.

What is the difference between two and four stroke engines?

In a 4-stroke engine, the steps (strokes) are:

  1. Intake stroke: During the intake stroke, the piston goes down from the top of the cylinder to the bottom, reducing the pressure inside the cylinder. It then draws a mixture of fuel and air into the cylinder through the intake port, ready for the compression stroke.
  2. Compression stroke: With both intake and exhaust valves closed, the piston goes back up to the top of the cylinder compressing the fuel-air mixture. This is what happens during the compression stroke.
  3. Power stroke: The compressed air-fuel mixture is then ignited by a spark. The pressure from the fuel-air mixture combustion drives the piston back down with humongous force, keeping the crankshaft turning. This is the power stroke phase, which is the main source of the engine's torque and power.
  4. Exhaust stroke: Finally, during the exhaust stroke, the piston again goes up and pushes the burned gas from the cylinder out the exhaust valve.
Something worth mentioning is that the spark plug only fires once every two revolutions in a 4-stroke engine.

Unlike the four stroke one, a two stroke engine has three strokes combined into one action, meaning the intake and exhaust are both integrated into the compression movement of the piston, therefore eliminating the need for valves. This is thanks to an inlet and exhaust port integrated into the wall of the combustion chamber.

As the piston goes down from combustion, spent gasses are allowed to exit the chamber through the exhaust port. The air-fuel mixture is drawn through an inlet located lower in the chamber. As the piston rises again, it blocks off the inlet and exhaust ports, compressing the gasses at the top of the chamber. The spark plug fires and the process starts over.

The spark plug fires on every revolution.

=====

A two stroke engine can produce twice the amount of power (and makes twice as much noise) than a four stroke engine of the same size. This is because it fires once every revolution, giving it twice the power of a four stroke, which only fires once every other revolution. Significantly, it also has a higher weight-to-power ratio because it is much lighter.

Two stroke engines are simpler and cheaper to manufacture compared to four stroke engines because of their simpler design. Four stroke engines are longer lasting than two stroke engines that don't have a dedicated lubricating system. However, the spark plugs in a two stroke engine last longer than those in a four stroke engine.

Four stroke engines are more fuel efficient and environmentally friendly when compared to two stroke engines that also create an unpleasant smell. Two stroke engines are responsible for much more pollution due to the combustion of the oil that has to be added to the fuel to lubricate the piston.

What is the best Arctic Cat Snowmobile?

How do you remove the governor on a motorized go-cart?

if its a 2-stroke the governer is a little black block that keeps the throttle from opening.so watch the throttle on the carb as you slowly open it.just remove about half of it though or else the throttle will start to close again

How do you time the rotary valve on a1985 ski doo?

This needs a few tools to do correctly, a dial indicator and a degree wheel. The process is some what easy with the right tools. If you want to go on with this job let me know I can e-mail you scans from the repair manual on the subject. The manual is for later models, but the rotary valve times the same on all of their engines. I have had Ski Doo for many years, have done a lot of work with the engines.

On gasoline boats the blower should be operated after refueling for how long before starting the engine?

The manual on my 18' Larson says 5 minutes, but I never run it that long. If you smell gas it's better to be safe than sorry!

What is the compression for a Yamaha warrior 350?

The book says Standard: 121 psi (850 kPa) Minimum: 114 psi (800 kPa) Maximum: 128 psi (900 kPa) but this is for at sea level, not sure what it is supposed to be at any where else such as at 5000 feet which is what I am trying to figure out.
