What’s this vintage carb breather starter gen worth and fit?

Recommended Posts

Morning, 

First post as a supporter of the forum. Wondering how much this is realistically worth and would it fit my 856? Seller asking $25.00. What are the upside down U shape piece for? Mine doesn’t have that. Seller also has this starter generator for sale as well, worth picking that up? Seller asking $40.00. Thank you.

Awesome! 

 

 

Both items are worth the asking price. 

The carb & air filter should fit your 856. 

Judging by exterior looks alone it WOULD NEED to be properly cleaned and rebuilt before usage.

That's the original fuel line from fuel pump to carb. It's canted at an odd angle because there's no fuel pump attached.

Yup - OE fuel tube. That is the correct taller air cleaner assembly for an 8 HP engine.

Overall first impression - BOTH may need to be rebuilt.

The 8 HP starter / generator is longer than the earlier 7 HP versions - be sure it is the correct one....
