Dan, not really sure what they were originally used for. But I do have one. I was going to fix it up, (its been ...dormant... for quite a few years) but if you want it I could give you a deal on it. The following Items I have, but are pretty much useless. Tank (rusted to hell and back) Muffler, similar condition ( you can get a screw in one from lowes for cheap). I'll throw a new gasket on the crankcase and start assembling it when I can. I can get an original tank on there, or I could get my machine shop to make an adapter to run a solid honda carb I have. I will say I cleaned the block and it turned out looking nice, the Valves and all are still in place. Its a clean, single bearing block in good condition. Let me know if your interested. (now that you know its life history) 8]

Over here in the states they were used for powering most any type of equipment you can imagine. This thread has a pretty good list of equipment they might of been used on: http://www.diygokarts.com/vb/showthread.php?t=5598&highlight=horizontal+engines

nar its all good man ill just have to keep an eye out over here.
can someone please tell me what power this engine makes and is it worth using. i think from wat i can gather its a briggs engine. model 12w802. its on a yard-man push mower with model number 679c. i thought it would be a little hp engine but i just read that its a 6hp is this correct.
Thanks,Dan
