5 briggs in two days

[Budget GoKart]

First off whats the most engines you guys have bought in one day i got four today
So i first traded a tao tao 125 for a riced out go kart it was ugly but it has a 5hp briggs so im happy
Then today i traded a 50cc moped with no title for THREE vert shaft briggs two 1 cyl and a twin. im putting the twin on my riding mower to make it a rat mower.
And i just got done buying a 3hp with a belt clutch thingy from a tiller

That twin can be converted to horizontal shaft with relative ease, and OEM parts from Jack's Small Engines.

Just FYI.

Oil dippers - Briggs and Stratton # 691733
Horizontal shaft oil sump - Briggs and Stratton # 393559

The oil sump bolts on in place of the blank side cover, which will be the new bottom.

Should work on all 16 and 18hp models, possibly others. The oil sump might take some digging to find one. I doubt if Jack's has them now that I think about it. Quite outdated.

You can hunt down a horizontal shaft crankcase cover (previously the bottom, now the side) to replace the one with the mounting flange, but it's not necessary.

There's a thread around here somewhere on it... I think Karl did the write-up.

Jeepers, that neon green flathead is really somethin'!
It's ironic, since you've often said how it's been hard for you to find a Briggs!

Oh trust me they are! It really took some diggin to find them it was a period of a week to find the 5hp and about an hour for the 3hp

I bought 3 one day. They’re not exactly rare but they like to hide.

I think Indiana is a black hole in terms of finding decent stuff.

I'd move.
