Yesterday it was 70F and this morning is a damp 35F. Might get to 50 with cold rain.

Yes the Spring in my area is nutsy too. Right now we in what I call yo-yo weather. One it might in the 60-70F and the next down 20-30F very hard to get used to. And later in March-May it is stormy with tornadoes at anytime during the storms. This weather pattern is getting worse every year too.

As engines it sure would help with even Briggs if the replacement matches the one it replaces. Especially those recoils position since they want to weld them in place. I did a log splitter back in the Fall that had to rotate the engine 90 degree CW so the operator would not be busting his hands on the splitter. It required drilling new mounting holes and now he will need to buy a oil extractor or bring the unit in for me to do it as there is no way to get to the engine's drain plug. This was the only option we had on a 20 yrs old unit. Yet another one I had to shorten the crankshaft to mount the hydraulic pump. Then there is times when the crankshaft is too short then the only is to buy a new machine.

Oh the joys of re-powering equipment.
