wfopete 34 #1 Posted 8 hours ago (edited) 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? Edited 8 hours ago by wfopete 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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.
