[SEL] Briggs Valves

[jlb94 at juno.com]

Hi Bill,
There doesn't seem to be any difference in the flywheel holes - but the
keepers for the springs on the kick start housing are different.  Maybe
that's what you're thinking of.

I have tried turning the flywheel 180º and found no difference.

Joe "Pip" Betz said that.
