Ok so I’ve been watching you guys build these motors...so I thought I’d try one myself...be kind first time....I purchased all the known parts...arc rod Briggs retainers and keepers and the 18# springs etc....had to hand file the lower retainer cup to fit,as you all know, cut out the ports...had to figure out how to make a manifold for a mikuni style carb....torque tube...and here we go...
First off the piston was put in by guy I bought engine from and he apparently went by the numbers on the shroud and it was wrong...I went by the bore size bought correct piston and .010 over rings....bought a 400 grit flex hone and started....everything went together pretty good those retainer clips are a pistol....so now that it’s all together I’m procrastinating the start....I’ll keep you updated....
