Hope everyone is doing good today. I was hoping someone out there could help me identify an engine I picked up that I was hoping to restore. I’ve been doing some research but dang it gets confusing, I am confident it’s a Wisconsin Motor, AB model, so 3hp. AB 2-1/2 Bore X 2-3/4 Stroke 3.0HP @...

So I figured I would update everyone. Got the original carb working. No surging now. Ended up being the idle circuit. One of the small passages was blocked. Ended up having to remove one of the ball plugs to really clean it. The only thing I find tedious is setting the rpm. For the post part I...

Well forgive as this is the first time trying to posts photos. But I added Some pictures of what it looked like before, what the carb looks like now and the overall end result.

I did replace the fuel pump diaphragm, spring and cover that sits on top of the spring so it does puncture the diaphragm. I did order another diaphragm since I took everything back apart. If I can figure out how to post pictures I will upload what it looked like before hand and after.

New member here and I know this is an old thread. I acquired an old 92 Briggs and stratton 5 Hp Industrial / commercial 132232-4036-02 attached to a pressure washer. It was in extremely bad shape. Probably should have been thrown away, but I figured I would try and bring it back to life. Im...
