Gettin' this engine Sun, only know it is hand/crank  start, looks like B&S Oil Bath and newer type old B&S intake plumbing, but shroud/cooling and tank  look like similar to Clinton. The pipe cap on tank is just to keep falling stuff out. Owner found no markings or ID plates.

Briggs for sure I think a W series I don`t think the carb is right for this engine,but not sure I think the brass tag would have been on the shroud behind the carburetor. Ask the experts at Harry`s Smokestak site under small engine someone there will know for sure

I did peruse the vintage engine sites and now am leaning toward B&S and as russtiron said carb appears wrong, hopefully can shed more when actually get it 360 viewed also. The nearest example had a sediment bowl beside carb. 

Thanks guys for your input

 That is a Briggs Model I,  2in. bore. 1.5in. stroke. That is the wrong carb, and intake. I have this exact same engine. Here are a few pics, and a video. Any questions you have, just ask. :thumbs:

 The problem your having with the start lever not disengaging is a simple fix. Its just the aluminum engage clutch there on the front of the engine. Remove the allen head set screw, and pull the clutch off. On the back of the clutch is an internal snap ring, remove it and clean the the inside of the clutch. There are 4 5/16 steel balls in it, that have just gotten dirty over the years. Clean it up, and make sure to assemble it dry, no lubrication, as it would lead to them getting gumed up again. Most the time this is all thats ever wrong with these old Briggs start clutches. Once in awhile, I run into one where the balls are excessively worn or rusty, in which case I just pick up some new 5/16 steel balls, and it as good as new. :thumbs:  The carb, and intake you need were also used on the Briggs model N, and they come up on ebay very frequentley.  The carb part no. is #99876

Matt, it may be I should leave it to abler hands. the handle spring is there and broken, I figd it must go against spring tension but couldn't get it to work. You make the start look so easy in video. Hope you can get this one goin. Felt in bore and feels smooth, but something made a crack sound full rotation, feared ring cracked (reason removed head /check cylinder). Really do appreciate the info and help.
