[AT] new engine

[Cecil R Bearden]

I bought one Friday to replace a 3.5 gear reduction B&S that is on a 
sprayer that I have spent the last 3 weeks getting ready to work.  I 
should have bought a new one or bid higher at he auctions.  I got my 
sprayer running and started to check the calibration of the nozzles and 
the B&S engine Quit.  It would not run longer than 2 minutes without 
stopping.  Friday evening I wet to Harbor Frt and got one of those $99 
engines with a coupon I had.  Made another trip to TSC Sat morning for 
some pulleys and a belt.  Got the wrong engine pulley because the specs 
on the engine were wrong, I read the instructions instead of just 
getting it out of the box. Yesterday about noon I got everything mounted 
again and fired it up.  It started on the first pull.  It also only has 
to run 1/2 throttle to get the pressure I need.   I am going to get a 
few more of these to keep for other projects.
