Please include the list on any replies. I have a 1994 Sears
chipper-shredder with a 5hp B&S industrial plus engine from a yard sale
that was left with old gas for a long time. I replaced the fuel lines
and rebuilt the carb, including replacing the inlet valve/seat and now
it idles, but does not run well without the choke. I have brand new
fuel I'm going to try this weekend as a final option, since I'm using
California gas and the existing gas is about 6 months old.
I'm interested in the same option. I'm trying to save the B&S as it has
parts available, but if I have to do much more to the engine, it might
be worth switching to the HF Predator for $100 and getting a little
extra horsepower. As near as I can tell, my chipper has the same bits
other than the engine as an 8hp model, so I'm not too concerned about
anything being overloaded.
One thing I noticed about the Predator I looked at in the store was that
it didn't have a fuel disconnect.
Brian with lots of trimming to do
