If you are sending me an engine please keep your clutch, chain guard, motor mount, air filter, pipe and muffler.
I have air filters, pipes and mufflers here to use and it saves you on the size and weight of your shipping box.
However, if you want me to refresh the clutch you can send it along also. I just need to know what class you are racing.
I'd suggest that for your second (outside) box you find one
as small as possible to keep the weight and dimensions as small as possible.
For those in the mid-west states i'd suggest using
SPEE-DEE DELIVERY SERVICE since UPS is out of control. You should be able to keep the weight of your engine package below 50 pounds even if you double box it.
The weight of a new engine in the Briggs shipping container is 37#
Please note:
UPS -- Additional Handling
charges go up 4.3% (weight) and 5.3% (dimension) for
UPS in 2020. However, a significant change for 2020 comes for
Additional Handling (weight). This surcharge currently applies to
packages over 70
pounds. However, in 2020,
packages over 50 pounds (actual weight) will receive the
$24 charge. Nov 25, 2019
In fact if you live just outside the border of one of the
Spee-Dee states shown below it might be to your advantage to drive over the border to ship.
Please notice there is a small area around St Louis, Mo. that is included.
