Hi I have a question for you guys I have a Briggs and Stratton Intek 20hp cingal cylinder and it is locked up where I can't turn it over by hand or by the starter I was just wondering how much would it be to get a different Briggs and Stratton engine replaced at a small engine shop. Looking for either a cingal cylinder Intek 20hp or a v twin Briggs and Stratton 20hp if any of you guys can help me please respond back thanks.

Good morning Jordan!
For engine replacements we recommend visiting a Briggs & Stratton dealer. They are going to have the most complete information on pricing for you. You can use our Dealer Locator (Briggs & Stratton Dealers: US Dealer Locator | Small Engine Repair & Parts) to find the dealer closest to you. You can also check us out on our Facebook page to easily chat with us some more! https://www.facebook.com/BriggsandStratton Have a great day, and please let us know if you need anything else.
Or go to Tulsa Small Engine Warehouse and then do the switch yourself est. $500 - $600.

As a follow up, check that the starter gear isn't jammed in the flywheel ring gear also I would remove the flywheel to be sure a magnet hasn't come loose and jammed against the stater. Long shots but I have had both happen, do the cheap things first.
Well i just looked at the starter gear i could move the gear back and forth a little bit but the motor didnt turn over by hand it could be a magnet or something else could someone help me here thanks
Well I can send you a Service Manual for your engine IF you like, address below, put in proper format and remind me engine model number and what you want.
Pull off the flywheel and chack the magnets on the inside, they oft come loose and can lock up the engine quite solid.
When pulling the flywheel do not hammer on the outside of the fly wheel which is one reason why they fall off in the first place.
Remove the spark plug and try to turn th engine back & forth some times a silly thing like a screw can fall out of the carb and get stuck in the engine.
If you need to replace the engine there are a few places that specialise in remaindered engines quite cheap.
