Here so far none of the engines I get out the Briggs warehouse have oil in them other a small amount of assembly oil. It is intentional as the EPA regs require these to shipped without oil in case of an accident during shipping. It is the dealer or end purchaser duty to ensure the engine is properly filled with oil.
As it should be. Just make the labels bold enough!
NormK, good job. Last one I "won" on gamblebay I paid $13.00 because I wanted the thumblatch high arch base, even though there was no catcher. Thank goodness it fired right up -without even needing another needle! I had to travel an awful long way to get it but the trip was scenic at least (South coast jus outside Sydney).
