I always thought the '57 shroud was used '59-'60, but here it is on a '57 engine! you have a really unusual anomaly there, it seems. Nice find!! There were some early 6b/8b that had a RED rubber pull start handle, and a cam that looks very much like the cast-iron model 8 cam. I have an early cam, but no longer have the red pull handle. I wonder if the '57 still has the small intake valve? I thought that changed to the big valve in '59. Nice sound quality in your video.
Lovely engines, and you have them running great! Did you restore the 6bs yourself? I'm hoping to pick up a 60102 myself soon as a restoration project and I'm not sure yet if I should leave its aged look and just do a mechanical restoration or if I should paint it too.
I have a Briggs 2 hp engine identical to the one on the right and it's a 1977. There was no change whatsoever in this 11 year time span? Either way, mine also runs very good. Best carb they ever made.
Absolutely love these little engines cheers

The 1957 has a much nicer, mellower sound. That longer stroke makes a big difference.

What are they worth are they for sale
I have a 1955 6BS. I'm wondering if the shroud was just changed to add the recoil. Mine has a rope start and electric.
