This little rope-start 2hp has been smokin since I got it, and not in a good way. Add to that the threaded iron exhaust was too long and has now stripped out the block's exhaust port.
So for good, bad or otherwise, this family favorite is really down for the count.
Since I've opened it up to assess the damages, I thought I'd post some pictures of the state of affairs inside this old 6B-S...
My ultimate goal is not only to resurrect the lil' guy, but to see if I can bring out a noticable performance improvement with the usual porting, valve job, and in this case - attempted rebore. I've done a couple of these small briggs' so far, but this could be the first one I've known pre- and post-rebuild.
The little wobbly bonanza frame this engine has been mounted to was getting up around 20-25mph. So there's that benchmark at least.
We'll see how far I get on this project...
