I would absolutely listen to Star tech the only thing I could add to this is 15 years ago I got a free lt2000 from someone who went by some specification and from his perspective he destroyed the engine but I was able to revive it and it still runs today.

You know the other thing is you can't really weld that piece because then you have to I tap the threads are right there it broke right where two bolts go but in the case of the Husqvarna muffler is there at least 40 bucks I am expecting to get more than 3 years out of the part but I didn't so...

Excellent idea thank you I was not even thinking about that but that's something someone could do and you know it would be pretty simple for them but not for me thanks again. Jim

Since I only have one of these machines and I found one is sufficient I just wonder how many folks that actually have businesses that repair parts like this and how common is it to split this I don't know what it's called maybe an idler pulley plate so how common is it to do just snap luckily I...

So I wasn't intending to put it in the middle of the text but that is a very cool feature so I'll keep that in mind in the future how this interface works for especially a smartphone.

So I just wanted to give an update and this would mostly be for someone that wants to repair a Husqvarna muffler that is installed I guess from the factory for a Craftsman lt2000 so this machine is maybe from 2008 I don't know exactly but the history of this muffler exhaust system rather is I...

Startech , I mean thanks for that conversion chart I think I got the 3/8 in for that rocker stud from a YouTube video so then I go over to the machine is 10 mm so you know at this point everything's back together and I didn't even need to know that because I bought a brand new cylinder head +...

Okay the valve guide is the cylinder I'm trying to figure out something else it has to do with the hex nut it's either 10 mm or 3/8

Okay thanks for your answer everything is actually put back together and the engine's running fine but I was trying to account for what was going on inside the engine well according to a few other folks they were telling me to look at the valve guide and then the valve guide actually just fell...

Okay this is actually the question does Briggs& Stratton mix and match SAE and Metric when designing an engine for lawn equipment or anything really? I was under the impression they use SAE throughout everything but that's just a guess and I was hoping someone knew the answer maybe even an...

Thanks so much for the answer if it wasn't indicated here maybe in the previous post would that be the specification directly from Briggs& Stratton. As opposed to 3/8 in which does not work. And thanks in advance for your answer. Jim

One week old valve cap has a dent in it + brand new push rods one of them weighs 20 g that's the intake push rod and then the other one weighs 40 g that would be the exhaust push rod however I have what's called the original exhaust push rod and is 50 g the interesting thing with the package of...

Auto Doc I had to go back and take a look at what you wrote right here but I knew you wrote it this is excellent I'm at that stage right now where I'm putting the cylinder head back on the machine and I'm going very slowly especially with the numbers you have mentioned thanks again this is very...

Okay so I've only seen three-cylinder heads in the last 20 years and I never saw one up close like that so when that piece fell out I wasn't sure if it was even a valve guide that's what happened I thought they could only somehow get raised that's why I sent the message in the first place I had...

Thank you, I was not aware that they could just fall right out.

So is that cylinder looking thing maybe it's an inch long is that the valve guide yes or no? I asked the question because I turned the cylinder head upside down and that thing falls out I'm under the impression it raises up a bit if that's the right thing it can't possibly just fall out so I'm...

Just to make sure buying a replacement cylinder head is the correct thing to do does this picture confirm that this thing is completely broken. That valve guide fell right out of the sleeve or whatever it's supposed to hold it but that's not supposed to happen or is this piece is it supposed to...

Thank you Auto doc for replying I was also talking to someone regarding how this engine just shut down and they were saying unless you hit something where you forced the blade to stop all of a sudden in their opinion the keyway is okay since I didn't hit anything. However inspecting the...

So the first thing you do is you get the magnetic zone on the flywheel to be perfectly centered with respect to the ignition coil and then you notice the Piston is not at top that center so you rotate it clockwise and not very much, and then the piston is at top dead center. You then notice...

This is what it looks like from what I read this implies the keyway is perfect. Or you're just really unlucky you got a broken keyway but it looks perfect.

StarTech I can only say in a time where you replied I went outside + what happened was and I did not remove that nut and washer because that means I got to put it back on and then I got to get a pipe wrench and all that stuff but anyways what I did was I got the Piston to top dead center and in...

But let me ask you a question regarding what I read is the test that I'm performing to see if the keyway is fine the way I described it is that exactly what you do? I mean I never did that before in the past I just took off the bolt for the flywheel but this seems like one step above brute...

I can't possibly be jinxing you too, I have no time for that only myself. But for 20 yrs and 3 different riding the mowers the only thing that did not break is the ignition coil and this is all home use equipment. The current mower where the cylinder head is being replaced today, it has a...

So for $118 to my door I think this is reasonable more than reasonable. 2-Day delivery.

I believe you I'm only trying to fix this for myself but one constant has been that ignition coil.

One thing I wanted to mention and it might be Taryll did this but someone welded the valve guide instead of using the torx screw method and I was thinking if you add flux "inside" of things it would not run correctly. I am getting a new cylinder head soon from Walmart, but I would think flux...

StarTech wow very cool thanks!!!!! On my phone now for easy reference! Jim

Okay thank you auto Doc. And I have a brand new head gasket set But one thing I can say after troubleshooting quite often seemingly every summer there was always a question about does this ignition coil work you know and the troubleshooting steps and the one thing that Briggs& Stratton really...

So I just removed the head gasket + despite the valve guide traveling towards the valve cover abnormally I just removed the head gasket + it looked really good it looks almost brand new I don't see where anything is ruined on it but the specification changed I remember that for the cylinder head...

So the cylinder head it was stuck a little bit but with a little tap came off perfectly so I spun the flywheel and the piston seems perfect so based on what I believe to be true I ordered it from Walmart $118 Total. 84011649

Also I don't think I'm telling you anything you don't know but I never knew you could even do something like this so this is great to learn about but a brand new cylinder head is the way for me to go.

Okay thanks to both Doc and StarTech. This video link I sent is where where this fellow is fixing it. And now it makes sense when someone said he's pressing back the valve guide that raised up, and returning it to the way it normally looks, now I get it . So he's drilling through aluminum and...

84011649 HEAD CYLINDER Briggs and Stratton Genuine OEM Part - SUPERSEDED FROM 796026 This is the part I found at the Briggs& Stratton website so this is like $100 which isn't bad I just want to make sure if anyone sees this us they're in agreement with what I found for a part number above and...

Auto Doc thank you very much so like like I think you're suggesting get another cylinder head and I appreciate fact you could actually see what looks right and what doesn't you know I have no clue that's why I send the photograph but I'll get in front of a PC and look at all the information that...

This is my machine it looks like those sleeves on my machine are somehow different but based on this photograph can you tell if the cylinder had for my machine which is the photograph I think above this text needs to be replaced This is a photograph below from July 20th at 10:02 a.m. This is a...

This is my machine it looks like those sleeves on my machine are somehow different but based on this photograph can you tell if the cylinder head for my machine which is the photograph I think above this text needs to be replaced? And just to reduce confusion the photograph for my cylinder head...

Okay thanks for the reply StarTech that very first post I thought I struck gold because I actually found exactly what could be the problem that you folks are describing but that's someone else's photograph it's clearly labeled and I think my cylinder head it's okay but I'm going to make damn...

StarTech thank you so much for this response I will read the entire entirely when I get in front of my PC it's just a lot easier but one thing that I'm not sure about are you saying the photograph I actually took of the cylinder head for my machine is broken or are you saying the photograph that...

I think I now know what this means and I will check it out!!!

AutoDoc I think I get it now what you mean by this, I would never think this is possible but I have seen photos of what you are saying!!!!

"pushed valve guide" <--- thanks for this I get it IF the image I found on the web depicts that!

Also for the photo I posted maybe I need to spin the flywheel a few times to see how those sleeves change? I assume those sleeves should never change because they are in a fixed postion in theory?

I have watched videos where say 6 yrs ago the person kept saying the lower valve is the exhaust value and what happens next folks like me would then use the STEEL pushrod for the intake valve. The point is anytime I see something that might be wrong in labeling I point it out for the next person.

Tiger I fully am aware of this and I should have never said what I said in the meantime I'm trying to upload what my setup looks like just took a photograph

Also where he says "exhaust valve" I think thats the intake valve, not that it matters but I have found alot of folks confused by this.

I found this photo and it had labels already. So where this image has, "Sleeve that prevents valve from depressing" is this what I am looking for? I can post a picture of what my engine looks like. But I think you mean using this photo this guy is saying "sleeve" and I do see how this sleeve is...

I think you said in an earlier post take a look at the video from pterodactyl, if I spelled it wrong I know exactly who you mean. Thanks, Jim

Okay thanks for this explanation I'm reading it + you know for me since I'm not a mechanic I call them hockey pucks for little tiny hockey pucks I think that's what you're talking about and they're metal and I just bought two of them a couple weeks ago. I can only tell you when I took the valve...

Okay the valve guides are the rectangular pieces of plastic I'm definitely going to replace those because it comes with a new guide plate I think it's called but it's a metal plate and then it comes with those plastic inserts I'm very familiar with those things I just never saw them broken but...
