Scratch,
That looks like fun. I must say there is nothing like sliding sideways through a mud pit and hallin butt through the snow in 4x4. My Toyota just about goes anywhere. I do wish I hadn't sold my '85 Dodge 4x4 1 ton crew cab though, no electronics to fool with but that was before I got into this HHO stuff.

HAHAHA that looks like loads of fun !
I used to go with my Kid and neighbor's Kid and go Dirt bike rideing in Fernley nevada
I got my Kid a KDX125cc the Neighbor Kid had a YZ125 and I had a TT500 yamaha...
Let me tell you it was rough keeping up with those Kids ! ..I finally got a KX200 Kawasaki
which made it easier and less tireing than the big 500cc but it was still a challenge to pass those Kids !..
brings back fond memories of good times !
....I just gott'a get me another dirt bike ! HAHAHAHHA

Bob,
Have you seen that scambusters video of the little engine running on 100% hydroxy ?
Also the hho explosion clip ?
both interesting.

Nope dial up takes forever to watch videos Manta.... so I don't bother
I did see where they said they had a video of a engine running on 100% hydroxy gas though
that was good to see !

Hay Manta ! sense you watched the video, did you notice if they cut off ALL the air going to the engine or a portion of it or what? that seams to be the only real question about running a briggs on HHO....
the last pic I saw of one running on 100% the carberator throat was sealed off with a piece of duct tape ! HAHAHAHAH

Yes,
looked like a piece of tape over the carb inlet. Also they didn't try to run above a tick-over. But it did show that the engine would run. But we already knew that.

BOB... Will a b&s engine run backwards? reason i ask is that since We want the spark to fire as late as possable turn the rotation the other way and you have it! (I think...) But that's the reason for posting,, learn what you didn't know for sure before  . I have a 3.5 hp and a 8 hp Both of them with the doohickey that fires the sparkplug, with that stationary. thanks, Steve |

Steve:
No they are 4 cycle engines not 2 cycle and will not run backwards... not without major changes, anyway!
... I don't THINK you could swap exhost and carberator goodies and turn the engine backwards or not as the cam lobes would not be opening the valves at the right time... worst yet would be that the left handed threds holding the flywheel nut on would no doubt loosen and alow the flywheel to come loose and sheer the keyway.... you'ed never keep it tight !
....
yes the ignition being FIXED in place is a major draw back on those engines, the only way I could see of changeing it was to make a plate and mount the ignition coil/pickup on the plate and then mount the plate where the coil normially mounts... in effect off setting the coil to change the timeing.

Figured it wouldn't work cause You didn't do it! but Worth a try!
Ok so have you figured out a good way to make a plate so that you can slide the magnito left and right (what way should it go???). LOL once i learn it I seldom forget and it doesn't hurt to learn!!!
I was thinking something like measuring all the way around the deal with the magnit then measuring the distance from the magnit up to the screw holes taking off 1/32 of an inch (or less). then getting a disk to go around and cutting a curving line hole 2 or 3 inches in either derection so i can tighten the magnito to the left or right while having the metal secured at the right distance already.
well I'll give it a go when I get a good piece of scrap metal

Which way should it go ? well the B&S I have the crank shaft turns clockwize and sense it is fireing too soon to run on Hydroxy gas you need to move the pickup to the right along the Magnet's arc about 1/2" or so is all you need....
when in doubt put a straw in the spark plug hole and touch the top of the piston when it stops rising is when the spark should fire. or top dead center (TDC)
as much as 2 to 4degrees AFTER TDC should work as well... infact some guys with older trucks say they had to retard the spark that much ....FWIW.
...
it depends on the size of the flywheel and its radious as to how far you should move it....
As you say an adjustable plate is the best way to go , that way you can fine tune it for best results!
...
good luck and keep us informed on your progress please !
