Picked up a pair of Briggs 6S's today

Picked up these 2 Briggs 6S's today at an antique outboard motor swap meet. The nice original one I have determined to be a 1950 by the S/N and the one painted gray has no ID plate so I have no clue what year it is. Didn't take much work to fire up the first one, just needed a carb pickup tube and jet cleaning to run, and I guess the gray one needs the same as the fuel tank smells like rotten gas, but it has decent compression and nice hot fire. Thanks to Ken B.'s brother Dave for the gray 6S!

and the 1950 purring away (still need to find an air cleaner for it and make a new valve spring chamber cover gasket)

That old Briggs went back and forth between me and Dave a few times. Hopefully she has finally found her final resting place.
