Will It Run? | Free Vintage 5hp Briggs & Stratton Small Generator | Facebook Marketplace Find

Today we take a look at a free vintage 5hp Briggs & Stratton generator off of Facebook Marketplace. The previous owner mentioned that it hasn't been used in over 10 years and that the make/model/specs were unknown.

Based off of the engine code, I was able to determine that the engine was manufactured in 1978. Likewise, a 5hp engine paired to a powerhead of this size should be rated somewhere in the 2kW range for maximum output.

Let's take a look at a what 10 years of storage can do to an engine, unless it was stored properly. Will it fire up? Will we make any electrical power?

If all goes well, we will have a nice little generator for very little investment. If not, at least we will be able to spend some time learning about the PulsaJet carburetor used on these vintage motors and how all of the components interact.
