Plastic Camshaft On My Briggs And Stratton 3.5 H.P

[SmallEngine H.P]

Well, awhile ago in December (before Christmas) i bought this 3.5 H.P engine from tractor supply, and when i went to open up the crankcase and WTF? a plastic camshaft? c'mon you gotta be joking right? like you can't modify it or anything like in ChargerMiles007's video [YOUTUBE][/YOUTUBE] YouTube - ‪Modified Camshafts for Briggs & Stratton experimental engines‬‏

They use plastic cams on a lot of stuff now. If you want to weld o one, just use an old cam in your new engine. Or if your going to leave it stock, it's better to use the plastic cam for less spinning weight.

I have a stock steel one if you want one..

You know, nothing makes me miss ''the good ol' days'' more than when I see stuff like this, whatever happened to building stuff to last and with quality, and craftsmanship?

thanks, but i have an old 1957 B&S 6B-S with a suction carb that i use for parts now, i have the cam from it, it's in great shape for being such an old engine. :smile:

Yeah, i know, BS about EPA ruining stuff, putting new regs. on small off-road engines... :censure:

I just watched that video as I am now on a good computer....
...Somehow I don't think his "engine made supercharger" is making any power, more like using power. I think someone already tried that back in the 20's.
