this thing to just about too much work to get running. however now it starts easily, runs great and moves a serious amount of leaves.
note the throttle issue is because of the high inertia of the blower flywheel. you cant instantly throttle up because it will allow too much gas into the cylinder before it can burn it, flooding the engine. this is why i spool it up slowly in stages in the video. with the flywheel disconnected, the 5hp briggs flathead will spool up as any 5hp briggs flathead.
Briggs are great, arent they?
