How did the fuel get to the carb?... I thought the carb was gravity fed.

[antiquengine]

suction from the carb, there is also check valve in the tank to prevent the gas from running back into the tank.

my briggs wm needs a new crank and coil then she should run agian. whats the thing on the other side of the engine it has something to do with oil? mine dont got one

[antiquengine]

The small canister is the crankcase breather. If the boss on your engine is solid it breathed through the valve chamber.
