just got a free briggs

[solomon]

First off that carb would be much cheaper to replace than repair lol
Second, u will most likely strip those allens unless u freeze or heat them. u can get a can of this **** called like freeze off at the hardware store it works hella good it frees up bolts ns ****.
And IDK why none of you guys realize this but it sounds like he has a scored crank, "hard to turn over and screetches." That motor might be junk

ya it might be junk but i got it for free so if it doesnt run oh well. anywas i got those 4 bolts off no problem just had to use an allen socket. heres a pic with everything off the crank. one question will oil leak out of there? the peice that came off had an o ring and the 4 allens had o rings too but im kinda thinking that was for the oil in the pressure washer pump??

I think all you need is a new gasket for the pto.

 

[anderkart]

Are we looking at the ball bearing around the shaft there or is it some type of seal?
What happens when you tip the engine, does oil run out?

 

[solomon]

looks like he needs an oil seal not a pto gasket, anyway pull that side cover off (undo the bolts 6 of them and tap the corners with a hammer) and check out the internals take pics.

 

[EagleTalons]

I meant oil seal. The side cover should be able to be pulled off by hand on inteks. Mine wasn't like my 5hp where extensive force was needed.

I agree with the pictures. Remember that you will need a new side cover gasket. The old one will probably stick to the side of the cover and will be unusable.

 

[88d50]

whats pto? so you just take off that side cover and install a seal there? then put the cover back on? where do i get the seal from?

 

[EagleTalons]

You just push the seal through the back of the plate and put the sidecover back on with a new sidecover gasket. You can buy these parts from Napa or a lawnmower shop.

 

[anderkart]

So does your old side cover extention have a seal built into it? If so I was wondering if it seems like you could just cut out an opening for the chain and then bolt the cover back on. It should make a pretty beefy chain guard...

 

[88d50]

the old side cover had an o ring but the hole in it was bigger then the bearing so maybe the oil could go from the motor to the pressure pump? but if i left that cover on and cut it for a chain guard i would still need the seal. im gona take the whole engine to the mower shop tomorow to see if they got everything i need.

sounds good, make sure your crank isnt scored it really sounds like it.
