I think I'll look for a stock exhaust manifold, especially used for well under $100.....compared to $300 for a header

I need to get the engine installed first, before I decide on an exhaust manifold.

The 691501 and 805609 appear to be same, other than the 805609 having an expanded ended (likely for muffler fitment?)

The 692061 has a significant drop down pipe after the cylinders

CVtech 06 clutch ordered.

Ouch that's almost more than I have invested in the Briggs 18hp engine

Decided to change the starter mounting bolts, after reading and watching videos how difficult it is to remove the starter with the stock hex bolts

The Allen head allows for a much easier installation and removal

Also, there are differences in the two air filter base support brackets

4 post starter solenoid was also installed on the starter using a metal band clamp

I also decided to remove the spring hose clamps and install worm gear clamps for all the fuel lines

New Briggs air filter will be installed but I don't see a need for the foam pre filter

You don't use worm gear clamps/ jubilee clips on small
low pressure fuel hose. You use spring hose clips or screw hose clips. Worm gear clamps will distort the hose, possibly creating leaks, and will make the hose almost impossible to remove in the future. I run 2 litre and 3 litre diesel engines at much higher pressures and use only proper spring or screw hose clips. Also the washable foam pre filter is designed to prevent the element filter from getting prematurely dirty and needing early costly replacement. Use it! Wash it occasionally and you will thank me later.

Yes I think pinch spring clamps are also better for small applications

I installed a spring clamp and had a leak at the carb connection

The pinch clamps are color coded to sizes red = 1/4", yellow =5/16", green =3/8"

I need to double check that I am using the red version

Picked up green and red spring clamps

Maybe the ones I used before were junk

These are USA made

I think I might add an engine mounted oil pressure gauge

This port is 3/8"

I changed the oil and filter today also

It also appears the governor bracket is deleted?

Should I reinstall the governor or?
