Hi, just a general enquiry at this point.
Up until now I have kept myself tied to the Victa 2-stroke engine, however I am starting to take interest in expanding my hobby, I will soon be taking delivery of two (at least) mowers with Briggs 4-strokes, as a general guide (I will be able to be more specific once I have the engine numbers handy) what are relatively common things to consider when choosing a viable project with these engines, and what might be some common faults.
At this point I know; mower one has a white brigs engine, with the old 'Straight up' pull starter, and the spinning metal vent on top, it is on a brown Jupiter Jester base. Mower 2 has a red brigs engine of the same description I believe, but I have not had as good a look at this one.
Again, once I have them I will be able to be more specific, at this point I am just wondering what I may be up for with these two (freebies) and what might be good things to know when choosing them, before I spend any money on a brigs that is not worth the trouble.
