C-111 Is this Correct???

Recommended Posts

I've had this C-111 (B&S 11HP engine) for years. 

 

I just noticed this "Cut to Fit" notch for the air cleaner housing and then there's the chain gang exhaust.

 

Is this how they came from South Bend?

Your VIN plate is for a 1981 GT-2500 Anniversary Special with a build date of March 16, 1981.

The notch in the hood yes. It is even illustrated in the parts list.

The chain - no

Here is what we have on the model

It is a miracle that you kept a head gasket in with that mess.  :huh:

Funny you should say that as the last time this ran; it ran like crap.  I adjusted the valves and did a couple other things but all for not.
