So after several days of deliberation, I?m considering trying to clean up the Mikuni carb from the snowmobile and fitting it to the Briggs to try to save some time and maybe actually get to drive this monster around before the snow completely melts off.
I was able to finally find the engine sticker on the bottom of the engine cover when I pulled it off to troubleshoot the no spark issues the other day. It is in-fact a 16 horse Briggs and Stratton engine with a model number of 326431.
Well I finally had some success! I got the better of my two snowmobiles running! I had to clean the carb real good and then replace the drive belt. It still needs new skis and a few other things but I learned a lot. Maybe it?s enough yo get the other carb cleaned and put on the briggs engine?
I cleaned up the ?new? carburetor and it?s all ready for the install. I?m gonna have to build an intake adapter. I imagine that I?ll just use 1- 3/8? exhaust pipe and make a couple flanges out of some 1/8? plate. Then I?ll fit them, weld them all up and see if it was for all naught or not. I might end up having to buy a new throttle cable, not sure yet.
Earlier today, I fired it up and adjusted the carb so it?ll idle again. I had the idle set too lean. I should probably install the mikuni carb already. My procrastination has over taken me this spring?
