I guess they didn't make this awesome engine for too long because I can't find any parts for it. I think 1969 thru 1973. 7hp B&S on a Huffy Sheraton riding mower. Its been the best engine I've ever had by far. I think number on the shroud is 170702 0645 02 6903271. 50yrs, abused and neglected by my father and then me most of its life and finally it quit this year. Coil is fried and carb leaks with a full stream of gas now. Over the last 15 yrs, It ran like crap, leaked gas and adjustments didn't really work anymore but it ran so I just kept using it. Muffler is so bad, it sounds like no muffler. It starts fine when cold but when it gets hot, it dies and will not start. It smokes when started but runs clean after about 20 seconds. Anyhow, anyone know where I can get new or quality rebuilt parts? If not, do you think I could use this carb pictured which is a little different?....or use the parts to put in the original one? Thanks for your help.
