What is behind a 6:1 reduction gear on a Briggs Intek 6.5?



Unless they changed they way they build them, a gear is machined right into
the end of the crankshaft. That is the way B&S did it for years. It is
possible that B&S is manufacturing them differently, but I doubt it.
The engine is no good for anything without the reduction!
