Hello all,
I could really use some advice. I am working on a Briggs 18.5 ELS500 engine off of my daughters Husqvarna mower.
-Engine: 31Q777-0466-E1
-Motor RPM's raced suddenly and would not slow. I suspected a governor weight after eliminating all else external.
-Opened up engine and found broken compression relief off of camshaft, and a governor with what appears to be only ONE little plastic oil slinger ears broken off. That's it. It does not look as if governor has ANY other damage (but after getting a new one I will compare).
-QUESTIONS
-Will the engine race with what I have described, with only that ONE little part broke on governor?
-Will the broken compression release make it race?
-While cleaning crankcase and getting out metal fragments from compression release, I took out camshaft and I tipped up the motor and the valve tappets and push rods fell out. I was able to put all parts back in the correct intake and exhaust holes, but is there anything inside that I may have messed up when they fell out, or do they simply slide back in as it appears?
-I think the part number for the camshaft is 793880 , but I cannot find the part number for the new COMPLETE governor assembly. Any ideas on that part number?
-Lastly, has anyone had any luck with the aftermarket camshafts sold on Ebay? They are about 1/2 price, but are they unbranded junk?
(I plan on getting a whole new camshaft with compression release because it appears I cannot just repair the compression release, correct)?
I could really use some help with these questions!
Jeff
