I have a 35 mudbuddy and I am looking to give it some more power. What is the best upgrade to do first? heads or carb? I know briggs has some issues with their valves not seating properly from the factory so Im kinda leaning toward the heads and do a few minor things to the stock carb. Maybe putting a new cam in. Anyway what would yall do first? I am mainly concerned with load carrying and reliability rather than speed. |

Do heads and exhaust first and see if that gets you what you need. |

Given the variability in the stock Briggs heads and valve seat, do the IM heads first. Yes they are decked and have oversized one-piece stainless valves. See where you are (as Owen stated) and see if you need to do more. The heads are the best power bang for the $$ |

heads for sure... I just had my stock heads and valves lapped and with the evt exhaust it made a big difference! |

I think im going to end up doing heads and cam and do some minor mods to my stock carb.. I think this will get me where I want to be power wise. |
