not all you need is a filter on the sucking side and connect it to the air intake of the carb.

You dont NEED the busted blower, simply cutting a hole in your fan shroud on the engine and running that to a custom sealed air filter box will make a Briggs 3.5 gain 1.5hp after adjusting the carb.

Piece of T shirt duct taped on should work good.

I dunno about you but im not going to spin a plastic fan to 3600+ RPM. Mounting a plastic blower may also prove to be a challenge too.

What's the use of running this if you're not going to be going over 5,000 without throwing a dipper or a rod?
