Covers look great, Eric. Need to watch this engine build closely as I have the same engine sitting and waiting (though I switched to a bearing crank/side cover). How are you addressing the recoil? Disassemble, powder and reassemble?
Hey Pete , here's the pull rope assembly for the engine I have . I had another blower housing left off of another engine....so that's the one that I powder coated , I myself like the old style covers and pull rope housings. Maybe we can figure out how to put the newer style pull starter in to a old model housing . Any thoughts ?

I think the spool assembly is riveted together. If you can measure the depth of the recoil spool/spring, and if it'll fit into the old style "case," that's part one. Should be able to fold the tabs back down. To replace the center rivet, a two piece furniture screw should do the trick. Then it's a matter of making sure the cup clears the spool inside the "old case." Make sense???
In the alternative, maybe a Tecumseh recoil and a cup will work just as well (and way less work!).

Looking good and your progress was much better than mine...The pucks, btw, are going to need to be cut down to fit. I used a hacksaw on mine last year--you can almost get two sets from one, but only almost.:laugh:

Very nice Eric. I do believe I have that exact Briggs engine, same muffler and all. lol The engine was on something I bought.:thumbsup: The shop oven is great.:laugh:
Thanks Guys ! First set back happened today.. when I got the frame back from the PC guy. It looks ok I guess but doesn't have the high gloss shine I thought it should have. I'm going with it because I don't have a big enough oven to do it myself and really would hate to have to take the time to strip the frame back down anyway.
I won't be posting any pics of the frame !
On a good note the powder for the engine will be here tomorrow and I can get my mind off this frame .
