I’ve been looking at the engine and I can’t see a way to mount a cvt. No mounting holes. Forgive me, it’s my first Briggs
While I got you here, how do I make a more practical kill switch than just shorting out the spark plug
So I’m thinking of using this engine in a cushman style build. The plans are floating around on the internet from old Popular Mechanics articles. I’ve got plenty of scrap angle iron for the takin at work so I’ll only have to buy a few odds and ends.

I do need to figure out the air filter position because right now The location prevents me...
