So... Tell us what you want to know! I see two engines, and some assorted parts. What sort off comments/suggestions do you expect to see?

You have some nice engines there if they work well. I am not too sure what the shaft size is on the 10HP, but if it is 1", then your clutch is going to be expensive

The carb is from a 150cc scooter. The shaft of the 10hp is 1'' yes it is expensive. Ive taken the 10hp to the machine shop & they ported the engine also they opened up the lube hole a little to improve lubrication, honed it & cut the head oh & changed the cam. I just wanted some advice on improving hp & performance, i would like to know what sprocket you guys recomend. I was told i can improve alot the 6.5 engine. I have tested personally both engines & the run & work great. But im sure wondering if a torque belt system would help out. Thanks for all your comments & keep the coming.

that new briggs is junk i have one its no good they run like crap if they run at all

That's a rather broad statement, isn't it? You have a particular engine which has possibly been mistreated, and/or ill-maintained, and/or just plain tired, and this makes ALL these engines garbage?

I don't think so.

To the OP- Depends on what you want to do. Personally, I'd use the flatty. Even though drive components are pricier in 1", it's much cooler- and more powerful, too! And to be fair, that 6.5 does look abused.

Well- sorry 'bout your luck, I guess. All I can say is that Briggs hasn't been in business for over 100 years by selling garbage. Personally, I've never met a bad Briggs. Some of higher quality and better componentry, sure- but garbage? No.

AND- Who changes oil every 2 weeks? If you actually do, I would suggest you're 1 in about 7 billion.

I installed one of these engines (new) on a buddy's snowblower about 5 years ago (which is how I inherited my H60!) I have had absolutely no reports of issues with it. It always starts in the dead of a cold, Canadian winter, and performs like a champ. 2 Pulls at most, even in 10-20* Fahrenheit. Maintenance on this engine consists of an annual oil change, and a plug cleaning and re-gap at the same time. On my advice, he always runs the carb dry. That engine will run through armageddon.

I am glad you got some sort of thought out of that run on sentence toy story. I would call bs on the 2 week oil changes too. I have lots of lawn equipment that I change the oil on once a YEAR and only change the plug if it starts running poorly.
I too have had many many Briggs powered toys/equipment and I am more pleased with that engine than any other.
In fact, the only non Briggs engine I have ever owned is currently the Honda clone I have on my kart now, and if it ever acts up, it is getting a Briggs twin cylinder to replace it.
To each their own I guess, but a blanket statement like that needs proof to back it up, or I chalk it up to lack of actual maintenance or lack of small engine knowledge.

Take it how you will, but I would rather have a Briggs and Stratton powering my stuff than a tecumseh any day.

Actually (he says, blushing slightly), the absolute top of my favourite industrial engine list is the Honda GX series. That said, I stand by my comments.
