rolla16v, there is no difficulty having a shallow tank with a Pulsa-Jet, though there may not be much point in it. All of the vertical crankshaft engines, AFAIK, had shallow tanks (there wasn't room for a deep tank, with the engine laying on its side), and most of the ones we see in Australia have Pulsa-Jets.

This has now become highly confusing. A 1968 61202 seems to mean that Briggs continued to make the 60202 simultaneously with the 61202, rather than one replacing the other. Also, if SB made mowers with shallow tanks and Pulsa-Jet carburetors, why did they make any with Vacu-Jet carburetors? Did they ever commit the sin of selling deep tanks with Vacu-Jet carburetors? (Briggs made engines of that configuration - they just say in the workshop manual that you have to tune them with the tank at least half full.)
