Trash Find of the Month: Briggs & Stratton Pressure Washer Engine
And so I begin my Trash Find of the Month video series! This one was found in the dumpster of a recently-closed Sunoco gas station near my house. The engine was upside-down when I found it. When I first came upon it, I decided to test it right there. It started on the first pull. =D The only thing I noticed is that the engine was running wide open, much too fast. So I got it home and removed the top shroud to discover that the governor flap was stuck open because part of the shroud was bent and pressing on the governor. Bending the metal back solved the problem. It now runs perfect. This was a pressure washer at one time, but when I found it the whole lower half of the water pump assembly was missing. I’d love to find that part, and a hose and gun, to use with the engine.
