Been like this for a long time.

You may be fine where you are.

Here's the B&S Service Bulletin from the 1950s. [COLOR=black]
Not sure if this is an apples to apples comparison that will work for something like the Model A engine, but what a book!
Thanks for sharing that with us.
When asked I have always told folks the engine is like an old Briggs and Stratton, but I was just trying to give them a sense of how different the modern engine is compared to the one in my Model A.

I liked these engines but had no idea how well you could rebuild them.
