Post sunken 20 GD LT
A buddy of mine sank his 20hp Go-devil longtail the day he was to leave for the big sandbox. the motor is a briggs, electric start.

I drained the oil a few times for him, filled it once all the water was out, and removed the plugs and dried the cylinders for him.

with that in mind, I am going to pick up all the necessary filters for him and attempt to get it running before he returns. what all should I get in addition to the filters to try to get it up and runing on my first trip to the parts store???

Yeah Roger. Don't add more than 'bout 8 oz. though. Mystery oil is thin don't want to thin the oil out too much. Run it all the time in mine and truck.

Get it running ASAP to prevent any rusting while it sits.
