Hi - I have just joined the forum, so thank you in advance.
I have acquired a very old rotavator with a Briggs engine - the serial number is no longer legible but from various sources it is likely to be late 70s/early 80s.
Everything seems to work mechanically, and it has a spark. But the carb (I think it is a choke a matic) had some very odd connections, and the layout is not the same as any in the B&S workshop manual, especially the distance of the governor lever (A) on the attached.
If there are any wise folk out there that can either tell me which spring/connecting wire goes from/to points ABCDE, or could refer me to a picture, I would be most grateful and another old B&S engine will live again (and my plot will be dug!)
Many thanks
Jonathan Davies
