    Scored a Tecumseh

    Well I'm pretty happy, yesterday at a car show I scored what looks like either a Tecumseh HS40 or HS50 snowblower engine for $20.

    Briggs Help ?

    Alright guys I'm in need of some advice. Just recently I bought an old Briggs 5hp engine, which won't run well. It will start, idle, and run for maybe 10 minutes, and then shuts off.

    Governer

    All right guys, I just picked up an old briggs 5hp flathead. I took off all the existing linkage on it, which looked like it was for a tilller. Right now I have my new linkage setup going directly to the butterfly on the carb. My question is, do I have to hook the governor up to my new linkage ?

    Was it Rupp?

    Here's a few pics of my bike I had a few years ago, it was fun when it was running, but that was a very rare occurrence. I still kick myself in the butt for selling it though.

    Is any one familiar with these
