Yep, no worries Jared.
The bloke who pulled it apart broke the cardinal rule! If it ain't broke, don't fix it!
Norm is right, it's a bit disconcerting when part of a restoration or rebuild is partly finished by persons unknown and that's why I was asking about the history. But it's what we have to work with and for a few dollars to sort out the missing bits it's well worth the effort to give this a shot. The only other option is to tear the bottom end down again! Not really an option.
You're right, this could be a bit of a long haul but I'm well up for it!
I think we take this in stages:
First let's get the pull start and cowl mounted and confirm it turns over freely and shows signs of compression. Also, we'll confirm it is giving spark. Then we move onto the carb and other stuff.
Wadda reckon
I'll post more before the weekend.
Cheers,
P.S. If AVB and other folks with good Briggs knowledge would like to help here, please do.
P.P.S Norm, the engine is already on the ship. That horse is gone!
