Yesterday I got the Briggs 8hp below minus the carb. A little starting fluid and she fired right up. I guess carbs cost more than a new engine.:laugh:


I'm not taking this one to scrap.............

Unfortunately those carbs are not cheap. Over $130 bucks last time I checked. The rebuild kit cost's more than a kit for the 4bbl Carter on my '66 Buick:doah:

Here's a little jewel a patient gave me today.



Haven't had a chance to see the number plate but, it's on it and it turns freely. The carb manifold is broke and he's going to bring the carb.
Any idea what year Bridger?
