1960's briggs and stratton 3.5 h.p gas engine | eBay


something is not right with that engine well besides to insane price
if it's new then why does it have a lawn mower recoil on it ??look at the pull start, when did you ever see a horizontal engine pull start from the bottom ?

I don't think they came new with that plumbing elbow in the exhaust either.

 

[mmisterbungl]

email him and ask him how he expects someone to pull start that thing? put the bike up on a 6 foot table first??

The bad thing is someone will most likely think its an original, and not see it until its theres ....:doah:

Put a loop in the end of the rope, then put your toes in the loop and call it a poor mans kick start!

Actually..alot of Briggs motors for mini bike applications during the 60's did come with the pipe elbow from the factory. Check old Rupp Continentals and LiL Indians for reference to name a couple.

If I am deciphering the model number right it is a horizontal shaft engine.

 

[oldfatguy]

Maybe that pull start was a factory mistake and that's why the thing was never used.

Thats what I think. or his numbers are wrong. thats a vertical cover or styled like one. or a mistake. or?

 

[derekbmn]

Looks legit to me...:shrug:

It may have been for a vent fan or real mower or something where it will sit higher up?? It's not a minibike motor, so who knows what it was actually designed to on.. :shrug:

 

[george3]

fixed throttle type It belongs on some kind of a machine that sits up real high like a vertical compressor.
