Cheers K-B.
Sorry but your suggestion of buying a new engine is a silly as Briggs decision not to sell a $2 seat. Seems like a bit of a stitch-up, these engines are well known for popping the valve seat yet Briggs wont sell you a $2 seat, insisting that you need to buy a new head for $300. They will however sell you seats for different engines... just not this one.
Does anyone know if any other inlet-seats will fit this head, cant imagine that Briggs would use this cast for only one engine
