head gasket arrived warpped purchased at amazon for $10.

head gasket arrived warped head gasket missing a layer of material will return an reorder.an request better packaging this thing was only packaged in top an bottom layer of cardboard.

This is definity a carb. Related problem which I believe lead to the blown head gasket. I just found out how the needle/seat and sticking float can produce fuel flooding cylinder an get into crankcase. I will remove carb. Bowl an inspect float for holes if float is full of fuel it won’t float...

yeah thats what I came up w/ from parts tree. could a faulty carburater flooding the cylinder create to big of an explosion which ruined the head gasket? BTW I have a spare carb from orginal engine.but am uncomfortable dissassembleing a carb. I'd rather swap in a replacement but then I'll have...

Here’s the cylinder head after blown head gasket. not seeing metal damage image I had to use the parts engine head from orginal head. Replacement engines head damaged under rocker arm mount. I assume it’s trashed image Aditionaly I do smell a bit of fuel in the oil. Thanks for advising...

I'll take a good image of head. it felt smooth around the carbon stain. I don't have a tempered glass table. I do have a piece of plexie glass about 1/8" thick x 2'. what do you think about the amazon gasket?

not sure about the fuel pump, don't even know where it's located. when I turned the ign. key the fuel shoot up over ten feet.then when dissassembling the head seamed like the whole cylinder was filled w/ fuel.

Update:I turned the key switch to ignition an observed fuel shooting straight up.this fuel appeared to be coming out the cylinder head but I didn’t see any cracks. I removed the cylinder head and found a damaged or blown head gasket it doesn’t appear to be blown all the way though just a bit of...

I can remove an replace the carb. I’d probably mess up trying to rebuild a carb. All I see that’s available is a carb replacement from ebay. a carb part# would be a big help. 219907-0131-B1 - Briggs & Stratton Vertical Engine carburetor parts NA image top of carburater image linkage...

you know I hate to think about it but I was having a no spark issue an couldn't find the spark tester so I removed the spark plug an placed the spark plug near the cylinder head cranked her over to see if I had spark. what I had was a huge fireball from all the fuel shooting out the spark plug...

I attemptrd the start up over 24 hours ago so I assume the gasoline on the plug has evaporated? the fuel on the spark plug wire dryed yesterday. strange the cylinder cooling fins are filled w/ gasoline.can I remove the plug now for these images you request? the previous fuel leaking problem was...

I neglected to mention when I turned her over to start battery was at 12.05VDC barely turned her over but I did hear leaking compression. I will clean. when you say shop air into the spark plug hole how much PSI an am I sparying w/ soapy water like a innertube repair? w/ this much fuel all over...

I attempted to mow the leaves today. same old stuff fuel is leaking out it's soaked the spark plug wire, an made a puddle on the cylinder head. now I'm concerned w/ an explosion. please advise and thanks

so the slime is in fact run flat? I was actuelly thinking of solids on the front that bert mentioned however I'll most likely find a parts mower for the fronts wheel & tire. I get my vessels fabbing aluminum at the scrape yard, there's usally always a mower there. how much better will she take...

I found out why the tire was so heavy inside tire was another tire inside that was filled w/ a solid gell. man said it was a run flat type tire. what the heck is going on here. dam I could've continued to use this tire dam. the guy beat on the rim dinged it up I asked if he could beat it back...

I'll have to check into the solid tires thanks for tip I removed rear wheel the wheel & tire seamed extremely heavey for a little tire about 35LBs it didn't feel like it was full of fuild or anything inside tire really weird seams like it should weight less than 10LBs for both.

ten " or smaller think I'll buy the wheel and tire which reminds me one of my front is kojected wierd how one is kojected other still has thread (remember I purchased at e-auction so I have no history of my snapper). confused why you would add a tube to a tubeless tire exspecialy w/ low PSI...

the orginal engines bottom end is fine. can I replace the compression cam & cylinder head w/ improved valve train and keep as a spare engine. replacment engine is strong second mow in week or less. then I'll know if I have a decent engine. I'm thinking of using amsoil 30weight oil. what do you...

My fuel tank expanded now it’s loose inside it’s holder. I accidently left the snapper in direct sunlight for a few days . The vent was closed because she was upright remember I recently swapped engines. The tank expanded like a ballon I’ve done this w/ my 6gallon boat reserve tank and it...

hello SM did you ever figure out when my new used engine was manufactored?

I purchased the replacement tire 8 years ago (along w/ new belt/trans disc/blade/air filter/spark plug ect.) it's still in the closet.I thought I could use my motorcycle tire irons to much work holding down the wheel I'll have to bolt the wheel to something (I have beaten a 13" trailer tire on...

The Spark plug seamed to gas foul, this can’t be possible while the engine is running is it? Seams like w/ engine warm the gas would just burn. Anyway the new engine had a none briggs spark plug, oddely enough it was putting out a little spark not sure how stronge it was. Swapped in old...

well I did observe cuttings shooting out the side but it did appear only a small % was being shot out. didn't think a clogged deck could prevent ignition, can understand a clogged deck effecting the blade turning. additionally when removeing blade belt under the plastic cover was a bunch of...

the new snapper rer looks very nice on the net.thought it was discontinued as op is. a 15.5hp on a rer thats some serious power. I don't see the cup holder. wonder if there's a option for a bagger shoot. where I could reuse my old bagger stuff. I actuelly looked breifly at a toro at home depot...

yes slomo I believe the engine is the same.sure it's a gamble but the top of engine looks very clean. was planning to reuse the crank pulley and it's keyway. at exact same distance inbetween disc.and bottom of engine case.haven't looked closely yet, not sure how the static drive disc. attaches...

here's a close up.

I'll start w/ soaking the pulley under engine w/ liquide wrenh then watch a few videos on how to.swap engines. what I have read it could be diffiacult reailgn the static drive sys. doesn't the crank pulley sit one position woops I think there is a slite adjustment in height and this is where...

excellent which is newer? haven't gotten posetion arrarning shipping myself or I mite pick up myself. what do you like of the set screw on either engine. I'd think an allen locker makes the adjustment easier than holding it together w/ my hand while tightening sounds rather caveman primative...

thanks for advice forgot to reply . I ended up replaceing the square switch Plus creative wiring to bypass the seat safety switch so I have ignition. now I'm preparing for a cam swap. thanks again TB

I was messing I'll do it right w/ OEM will document the whole swap. to bad the compression can't be lowed enought w/ like a thicker head gasket. to bad there's a weak starter wouldn't a stronger starter and minus the cam attachment.TB

I have a 12.5 intex no oil filter. engine 2009 snapper 12.5hp intex .344cc 219907 0131BL 0864307A I didn't know it was possiable to not have a oil pump. if this is true no oil pump will ease my planned cam swap. I'm thinking the govorer acts as a pump?TB
