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.
Well it's hard to give you an honest opinion, you don't know the hours, HP or the true condition.
