Briggs and Stratton Small Engine Tools - What are these?

[The Rusty Gear]

I had the opportunity to go to an estate sale over the weekend, and the guy used to own a renal business, and there was some really neat stuff there. One of the things I picked up was a metal box marked "B&S Engine Tools" I got it thrown in for free with the other stuff I bought, and there was a treasure trove in there! reamers, valve gringing stuff, spring compressor, ring compressor sets, but not being a small engine guy, there was some stuff I could not identify.

Can anyone tell me what some of this stuff is?

The thing which looks like a nutdriver at the top has a bunch of serrations inside the socket part (20 or so splines) My guess is this is for a carb adjusting screw?

The small plate with the bolts is a flywheel puller.

If the nutdriver has serrations like you say, then it is probably a Poulan/Weedeater emissions carb adjusting tool. The Sheet metal assembly is part of an Air vane governor on an old Horizontal shaft Briggs engine. The heavy metal piece with the bolts is a flywheel puller. I can't see the other one well enough to say.

The cone shaped item is a reaming guide tool, that it fits in the port,for reaming the valve guides.I have not used mine in maybe 20 years.

I don't think the second one from the top is a tool. I believe it is a governor (speed control). It gets mounted next to the flywheel and the movable piece moves based on wind speed created by the flywheel fins. Through the use of a spring in positions 1-5 linked back to the carburetor this controls the throttle speed.

He was using those tools to work on people's kidneys? Yikes!

Just kidding.

Never seen an adjustable governor like that.
