1969 Briggs and Stratton 2.5 HP

Warming it up to change the oil. Original rings. Points NEVER adjusted. Original belt. Only things replaced were oil, air filter, and spark plug. Ran with no air filter for a long time until I discovered it was gone. But the cylinder walls are perfect and it has compression. This proves Briggs reliability. They don't build them like they used to.

i have thie exact same engine but a 1968 year mounted on a toro tiller. it sat outside for 10+years, started in 3pulls with new gas. points didnt need to be cleaned or even the diaphram in the carb changed. that shows quality of the older engines

They don't make them like they used to. That's for sure.

ive got two even older. a 1935 briggs model A and a 1951 briggs model WMB. the WMB is in the condition where i think it could be a new old stock engine because the paint isnt even burned off the head, and the model A has the highest compression ive seen out of an engine. it feels like it could be higher than even a new engine. i love those old cast iron block engines because they never wear out, but they are just too heavy for any practical use

I know that 69 in the code refers to the year. I didn't know that the manufacture date was in the code too.
