Hi, new here.
I picked up what I believe is a Bird in a local classified:
Part II.
It ran but would not rev to save itself. I played with the carb & got it running right, put a usable filter on it because the old one looked like MUD and just came apart in my fingers. Can you buy the foam that goes in these old ones? It's a 3HP briggs.
The fuel tank on the 3HP was leaking and the screw on cap seemed to have become one with the tank and just spun inside the tank, so I took the tank from a non-running 2HP powr kraft (a briggs) and the cap and put that on.
Wired it all up and spent literally 4 HOURS riding around my neighborhood!
Then I built the beginnings of a chain guard... more on that soon.
What fun.
Just thought I'd share
Thanks for looking.
