Need a little help from the pros. I came across a used Vanguard that I am thinking of picking up to repower my 682. I'm not sure this would be a good candidate or not. They already did the carb. No ideas on hours. Any opinions as what might need to be done to bring it to a workable state are welcome. This is how they described the engine:

Briggs and Stratton Vanguard horizontal shaft engine. Removed from mini skid steer. Will start and run but chokes down under power. New carb kit and fuel pump installed but did not fix the problem. Probably needs re-build. We believe it is a 20 hp.
