riber3 4 #1 Posted October 18, 2023 Hello everyone, The Briggs & Stratton 3.5hp engine on my old hayter is now sadly on its way out.It uses a fair bit of oil and its now starting to rattle at the bottom end if used for too long. The carb could probably do with replacing too. I don't if its worth stripping down and rebuilding the engine with new parts or getting a direct replacement? I would welcome any thoughts on which would be the best solution. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nigel 1,876 #2 Posted October 20, 2023 I would try and find a good replacement I think it would work out a lot cheaper 1 riber3 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
