Hello again, grumpy.

I would have responded earlier to your advices of May, but just lately has been a very busy time for my family.

Anyway, the new ELS engine seems to run well enough - although it is difficult to start without some choke, even when warm. This engine also idles at a higher RPM than its predecessor.

Attached are some photos of the installed engine and machine as requested, to round out and close the thread. B&S have reworked the air intake system and filtration arrangement - it seems better designed to resist bypass dust entry. They have also added an electric fuel pump. The exterior dimensions of this engine are greater than the one it replaced, requiring the dealer to rework the engine cover hinges to allow it to close.

Thank you for your past advices. (I look forward also to some further advices in another matter which will be the subject of a new thread - "Briggs carburettor setup problems"









All the best,

mustang
