The brackets felt plastic, But i didnt pay them all that much attention, I will see if i can work that out tonight.
Whatever they were made to do, they are not doing it now, plus they are broken in plces, so i will remove them, and try to find a way to make the holes less noticeable.
I Will check the ignition on it, I supoect it may be mechanical, as from what i have noticed, Briggs advertised the early electronic ignitions on the centre of the spin-frid, while this one has the ols Easy Spin sticker.
