Briggs and Stratton Blue Wazoom

I think that was 13 HP drinking gas.
I can't answer about the timing. I would check it before starting it. No sense detonating all over that piston.

Unfortunately the timing would be in the flywheel not the key, plus I'm not entirely sure how to tell how far it is advanced if it is. I'm just going off of what a few people said

Timing light and a degree wheel mounted on the flywheel nut will tell you when it sparks without ever starting it. Spin it with the plug removed.
If you remove the shroud, you might find some marks on the flywheel. It was a racer, after all...

I believe you're right now that I did a search some say 12.5-13hp my mistake for the 16hp

Hahaha i thought you were saying 5hp? Prob my mistake
Also ARC makes adjustable flywheel for Briggs, maybe it fits?

Maybe contact uncle franks? They literally have a rebuild service listed for them still

That I have done for some of the basic information, as far as converting it to gas they weren't sure on.

That's an idea! I know a lot of the arc flywheels are advanced to 32 degrees already I've built quite a few predators and other clones

Franks Wazoom used a 3hp flywheel and they also had a Zama gasoline carb that was a smaller carb but looked pretty close to the Alcohol carb 12.5hp 7200Rpm sealed block

Yes i have two. But the carbs are very hard to find !! The gas Zama carb i did not know they even exited untill one came with the one Wazoom with a Alcohol carb also

You might have enough room if you use a Champion short spark plug

I might just have to find a tilitson gas carburetor or a slide carb to make things simple. I've decided it's not worth it to me to run methanol for a few passes down a dirt or grass track, then to clean it all out before I start the rest of the night
