Hello folks.
I was on another sight, (wont mention which one), and got some flack when I posted that I had an old Briggs with no recoil. It has a pulley to manually wrap the pull start rope. I know there are very knowledgeable folks on here and I am looking forward to your input to find out what this is. Also is it normal for the Briggs labels/decals to be upside down? 20190419_121246-1.jpg

You have that motor sitting on its side. That motor has a vertical drive not horizontal. And the pull start recoil is missing. That came off a lawn mower most likely.

It looks like a vertical lawn mower engine with electric start. Many of the mowers did not have a recoil start if it was equipped with a starter.

It is not going to work on a mini-bike.
