Antique Briggs and Stratton Model WM Engine Running

I splurged today at the Brookville Indiana tractor show. I found this engine and bought it. It, as usual, had no compression or spark. After about an hour of work, this thing started right up. Runs great, no smoke, and sounds good too. Can't beat it.

I got my black wisconsin to run so slow that it had to engage the impulse coupling in the mag, but it was running on a gas mixture of like 20 needle turns out.

Looks and sounds good for a "Briggs". The modern ones are no contest.
