got a simplicity m-1 on craigslist for the cost of picking it up
engine is a briggs model 9
B&S has spark, was able to get running easily by squirting gas in where the carb was
carb was with it, in pieces(and appears complete), in a disintegrated cardboard box with a bunch of squirrel refuse. ordered carb rebuild kit
was told the oil bath filter should be replaced with something better, suggestions?

where do I find/fabricate things not in the carb kit, the air filter gasket was in pieces, appears to be just cork, cut another from random cork or???

Generic dirt bike air filters for motorcycle racing might be an answer. They are cheap and typically fit many carb sizes. They come with a radiator band clamp that can tighten down on most any size carb.
