Re: Briggs & Stratton 5 HP OB Questions/Etc..

Well after over 100 reviews no one answered any of my questions…so..do it yourself I guess. Followed two important (to me threads) 1)The motor and 2)the Briggs connection to OMC.
1) Went to youtube and found several B&S outboard listings.
a. Jeff’s Little Engine Repair (Canada) called the motor a piece of fecal matter. . He discovered the problem was not the engine but it needs to have absolute air tight fuel connections on BOTH ends to the engine fuel pump/carb. Ran like a champ but he did not like outboards and still thought it was"fecal. " 2016
B. Another one called cruizin with a camo covered engine pushing a jon boat based on the movement was decent to my eyes.
C. Third one was a southern boy who thought it was underpowered and was going to dump it.2015.
Based on the running video if you want decent transportation not planning/speed..why not? Cheap.

#2 Briggs will put on Dock Chat.
