Yea so I just realized the recall that was issued in may for the briggs motors........I knew I should have gone with tecumseh oh well. Anyway, what do they cover in this recall, is it simply a carbeurator modification or is it a full engine replacement, and would it be worthwhile you think if I simply just asked the dealer to put on a tecumseh engine instead? Wouldnt mind the cost if it fixed the issue forever

Excuse my ignorance but I'm having trouble understanding what you've said. Would you please clarify the the following:

Spark arrestor installed to carb - What does that mean?

Heater box internal baffle is trimmed for clearance for the spark arrestor - Where's the heater box? Are you referring to the plastic cowling around the carb?

When they did the recall on my B & S engine, they said they just replaced the primer components.

The rework kit involves adding a spark arrestor to the carb. There's not enough room in there for the spark arrestor they've used so there is some trimming of an internal baffle in the heater box.

Yeah, a heater box is the plastic (metal on Tecumseh) shroud around the intake.

If they just replaced the primer components then they are negligent and you may still have a hazardous unit. You should call and clarify what they did or pop open the heater box to look for the spark arrestor screen.

I have had it apart and there is a circular screen over the carburetor intake. Is that what you're talking about?

Thanks for the help by the way.
