Custom Winterizing Shield

I've never had a problem with icing on the Briggs carbs till this winter. The negative 45 windchill must have been to much for the old B12. I don't have a OEM Winterizing Shield but nothing a grinder and sharpy cant fix ;)Here is the "EOM" one I started going off of:

From there I took a few measurements, grabbed a muffler off the shelf and started cutting/folding a flyer from Bigass Fans :P

Cut it out of a random sheet I had laying around:

Got it all mounted up. NOT only does it clamp around the muffler like the OEM but I added a folded flange and Hole to mount it tight to the bottom of the carb. Being a Design Engineer I'm always tweaking OEM things XX(

Keeps the Fuel shut-off and Filter tucked up and warm as well, but still easy to get to from the driver seat. Not to bad for a last minute chop shop eye-balling it duplication.

Someone posted this on here several years ago. It was copied from an original as well.

      Site programming updates were made 3/23/2024. As a result some things have changed including dues payment options. We will continue maintenance and work with technicians to regain credit card payment option and clear up minor challenges. On positive it appears attaching pictures is now easier. Good day. Gene
