Determine vintage BS model

[Boudreaux In Eunice La.]

You are right, but that carb and tank can be used on the 60000, 80000, and 90000 series engines. It was one way we used to increase hp on the 3.5 hp engines. That was before we would sand heads, punch jets, and restrict airhorns to increase power. Even built one of these. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=AMsXKkIuaPg

Yes you can increase the HP for a 60000 by putting the carb from a bigger engine that's how Briggs did a 2 hp to 2 1/2 HP actually...... The 60000 had a vacu jet carb and the bigger 8 and 9 series had a pulsa jet carb.........

I will check your video out also.......

It looks like a 3 hp model 80202.

Look at that 8 or 9 number closely on the shroud not the picture and let us know....

I do know that the year is 1978.......

If you can come up with any numbers, this might be helpful, or you can ( lonnnng process ) check through these parts manuals and try to match it up ..... folks out there don't realize why we ask for an engine's identification number's, there's so many models of the same basic engine and the difference's although sometimes subtle, means all the difference in supplying the correct info.
