Tractor: Ingersoll YT112 Engine: Briggs & Stratton Model: 281707 Type: 0135-01 I was getting our riding lawnmower ready for the Summer, and found a crack in the carb - when running, gas leaked like mad. I purchased a new carb, was in the middle of replacing it - when the linkage that controls the choke came off! The tractor is controlled in two ways - via a throttle and choke setup (not too sure how this works, btw), and with a variable speed transmission (gearbox, etc...). I have no clue how the linkage was held in the remote choke (that is, a cable controls the throttle). I know how it connects to the carb. took some pictures of this setup: [URL=http://www.ururk.com/personal/images/Mower/DSCN2489_edited.jpg]Choke Linkage[/URL] [URL=http://www.ururk.com/personal/images/Mower/DSCN2500_edited.jpg]Mechanism - inside view[/URL] [URL=http://www.ururk.com/personal/images/Mower/DSCN2501_edited.jpg]Mechanism - side view 1[/URL] [URL=http://www.ururk.com/personal/images/Mower/DSCN2502_edited.jpg]Mechanism - side view 2[/URL] [URL=http://www.ururk.com/personal/images/Mower/DSCN2503_edited.jpg]Mechanism - inside view with linkage[/URL] [URL=http://www.ururk.com/personal/images/Mower/DSCN2505_edited.jpg]Mechanism - side view with linkage[/URL] Looking at these images, it looks like the choke linkage will be pushed by the rotating part, but this is not the case. I checked, and the new carb is identical to the old one. I can take additional pictures or clarify if anything is confusing. Thanks! John Pariseau

I have an old Snapper, early 80's I guess. Briggs engine. I feel sure the fly wheel cover has been changed. Are the codes stamped anywhere else on the 70's and 80's engines other than the flywheel cover? Also, will a 12 hp flywheel cover fit an 8 hp Briggs from the late 70's or early 80's. Or was the 12 a larger block than the 8's? Thanks in advance.
