pmackellow 2,738 #1 Posted February 23, 2014 Went to an autojumble at Ardingly Showground today Its mainly car stuff but occasionally something of interest pops up, last Novembers jumble yielded a Greensleeeves lawn edger for a fiver, the same amount was paid today to my mate Tony the Land Rover man for this 2hp Briggs and Stratton engine OK the exhaust is knackered but its worth a fiver for bits alone,,, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pmackellow 2,738 #6 Posted February 24, 2014 Oh right, cheers Gareth I was not aware of that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paul 64 #7 Posted February 24, 2014 I have two of those engines, one gold as the picture and one silver which is a later dated model. You are right Paul as mine are on my 14" & 18" Webb cylinder mowers, haven't had any problems with them they start very easily even when sat all winter Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
S1g 579 #8 Posted February 24, 2014 Oh right, cheers Gareth I was not aware of that. I believe it was also the same with the 4and 5hp Briggs, the 4hp was a slowed down 5hp. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hangman 25 #9 Posted February 24, 2014 hi s1g when you say slowed down do you mean restricted or more heavily governed ?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lauber1 51 #10 Posted February 25, 2014 yes im curious as to what you mean?? Briggs engines sold over there are based on the bore and stoke to make the hp. There might have been a time back in the 30's where the rpm's was increase to get more power, but not in anything im aware of since then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
S1g 579 #11 Posted February 25, 2014 As far as I'm aware the rpm is cut back, pop the heads off and you'll see what I mean. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
