    Predator coil on Briggs?

    Someone on another forum tried it and said it works. Might entail a timing wheel, time will tell.

    Carb for a 5hp Briggs?

    What is the difference between the various diaphragm type, horizontal flat head carbs for the different numbered engines? I see different air cleaner mounting, and different choke systems. Is that all? Also, why do the slide choke carbs cost double the money, and will a 1 quart tank work if needed?

    How about the plastic tanks and carbs on Amazon?

    Carb for a 5hp Briggs?

    I have a few 5hp, horizontal Briggs engines. They are aluminum with the tank mounted carbs and mounting bolts at about the 10 and 4 clock positions. One has a slide type, pull choke. The others don't. They are all due for replacement. Is there a "better" carb to look for? They are just old...

    I don't have much money, and the predator coil is cheaper to buy.

    Predator coil on Briggs?

    I'll check my block, thank you. I think it's alumumnumanum. Predator coil is 1/3 the price, so just hoping.

    Predator coil on Briggs?

    I read, on another site, that a predator ignition coil will fit an older Briggs engine. Both being 5hp horizontal engines. Anyone know if this is true? It would eliminate points and is a lot cheaper than the Briggs type coil. Sincerely, Nessmuck.
