Experience Born and raised in the midwest. Started tinkering with engines when I was about 14 on my Suzuki RM-80. I began lawn mower repair at a small hardware store. I knew absolutely nothing. I read lots of repair manuals and met an older fellow who taught me many lessons. I continued working on small engines through high school and paid my way through college working on mowers at the same hardware store. Decided to get away from the midwest and mower repair so I joined the Air Force. I repaired air traffic control electronic equipment and ended up in Hawaii where I got a part time job at Small Engine Clinic. I gained a lot of experience from the Small Engine Clinic and had a blast repairing small engines. I then took the Briggs and Stratton Master Service Technician test and earned my MST. I then traveled to Wisconsin where I attended the factory update training seminar and received formal training. I received a scholarship from the Air Force and am currently pursuing another degree.
Question I have just purchased a brand new Briggs & Stratton Vanguard 20 hp twin cylinder for use in my hovercraft project. The model number is 351777.
Can you help me with the wiring (key-start and with a solenoid)for ignition system and kill switch.
I also intend to install a tachometer in my hovercraft. Can I use a tachometer used in a 4-cylinder automobile?
Answer Are you planning on using a simple push button start or a key switch? If you are planning on using a key switch, do you have it? If so, what letters are on the back of the key switch?
