G'day again Bob,
I always wanted a Briggs 2 stroke and when I eventually got one, I could never get it running right, no matter what I did to the governor set up, wouldnt run right.
Anyway, got fed up and sold it.

I have done suzuki engines up and plan to get the techumseh off this one and mount up another Suzuki.

Even though it is a large engine and running well, it is a 4 stroke and wont suit the embankments we mow. (Everyone seems to rag Techumseh, I'm not sure why, everyone I have had started easily and ran well)

The way I mount the suzuki engine, well the hole in the big bob base is off centre, so you have to come up with a way of placing the suzuki's mounting plate so that the shaft will be dead centre in the base when fit the engine.
Then mark and drill your holes.

Yes, I use the original boss & blade plate fro mthe original engine. The engines I have taken off so far have been a Briggs 4 HP and a Techumseh 4.5.

I am about to do the same to the orange one shown, I will make it a project on this site and take shots as I go.
