The 4th little brigg's is ALIVE

It did not take long to put the carb, muffler, and shroud back on. That bottom bolt on the carb is sure a pain.  I pulled the shroud back off to convince the recoil rewind to work better.  It did not take too long to get it started.  The on/off switch does not turn the engine off.  The high speed jet needs adjusting and the linkages some fiddling.

I made a video but all you can hear is the metal base on the motor banging against the metal stand it is sitting on.

I am not sure if this engine was junked because of the repaired pump or because it was backfiring like it did for me prior to lapping the flywheel.

The rotary on/off switch is working.  The switch wire needed to be connected to a lug behind the coil.  All the tin is back on.

For now this is last we will see of the 4th little briggs.
