I finally got to open the motor. So the connecting rod is broken and the piece that is still attached to the piston is wedged against the camshaft. So now the hard decision is to buy a new motor or a new mower. Got pictures but still figuring out how to reduce the file size as it is too large.

i’m sorry for the delay, I promise to update soon as possible. Things are just not going in my favor. But it is also giving me more at home time so maybe in a week or two I can get back to it.

Ok Thanks for the info. I will have my blocks ready. Maybe my scooter repair blocks will work, it is a 7,9,11 block of wood that has a hallow center when set on 7 inch height. Thanks again and I'm off to my day job now.

Sorry for the delay everyone, life got in my way, and the weather too. Might be Saturday I can proceed with my taking off the pulleys from underneath. I think I can handle the 46° or wait for later in the day. I got the deck out already, as well as wires, fuel hose and throttle cable. Still...

I'm up now and heading out to the carport, got my coffee and my vest on, I'll have pictures by tonight the latest or maybe in a few hours depending on life. 5:22 am

Okay I am in Gainesville FL As for liking to take things apart, that is just what i'm going to do. It's 5:25 am now and i'm heading out to the carport and shed to set up lights and start taking things apart. I figured I need to take out the deck first or the belt that connects with the deck. I...

Ok I'm considering buying a new motor or a used motor. Any recommendations for a wholesaler and also a salvage yard?

My name is Alvin. 60yr old mechanic of all sorts currently working as a scooter technician. Sorry I did now say hello earlier as I was frantic to get answers to my problem. And that is my briggs powered Husqvarna mower. I've worked on Briggs before but that was the 16 hp single cylinder cast...

Okay moving on forward I'll stay on this thread and stop any replies on the other. Now I need some answers to questions and also some advice from the professionals/experienced people. The right cylinder piston does not move. I can rotate the crankshaft almost 360° During that rotation I cant see...

suggestion taken seriously, I really don't know why I did that. Is there a way to merge the two threads that I started about the same problem?

yes I will do that, Thank you
