my buddy has bout 25 hit an miss engines in his garuge. his biggest one has a 475lb flywheel. its deadly as hell to start. lol 1 wrong slip an both ur arms r gettin ripped off
briggs engines have to be the best ever built. our 20 or so year old lawnmower runs like a champ and we neglect the sh*t out of it. We didnt change the oil for like 2 seasons then it was really low and my dad was cuttin the grass and went up the hill in the back and im sitting in my room and all i hear is CLUNK SCREEEEEEEEEEEEECH for a good 10 seconds. didnt let go of the stop right away because we tie it lol. anyway, we were like oh sh*t its done, new lawnmower. before i changed the oil, i pulled it and it started first try lol. it lost oil in one part of it(thinkin cylinder lol) because it was so low so i put some new oil in and shes been perfect.
sucks back the gas but who cares lol.

we have 3 old briggs flatheads two are on our karts and one we are building the things cost like 200 for a kart and then another 200 to build them for racing they are getting harder to find
I have a really old 5hp briggs side shaft in my shed. The pull starter needs put back on and the carb needs rebuilt but it has good compression. It may be the flat head your talking about I'll try to get a pic tomorrow.
the reason i ask is i have 2 really old ones like a 1930 and 1948 and im looking for more info on them so i can get rid of them.
