6 months on my new motor and its broken!

[txzrider]

fyi I have struck out completely on removing the pto... I think I am going to have to make some sort of puller to get it off. Very annoyed!

Whoo hoo, success! Got the pully off... Bad news it still shakes...

 

[txzrider2]

I had to get a little creative... (hope this works to post a pic)

I agree with Engine man........... Take everything off of the shaft of the engine and start it up... See if you have a vibration......

Then turn your shaft by hand and check to see if it's not bent....... All you might need is a sump cover..... Easy to change.....

I can look the part up for you if all is fine with the engine.........

Let us know Mon Ami ~!~!

So is the sump cover the same on all the 20hp briggs ohv?

 

[Boudreaux In Eunice La.]

Did you get down to the bare naked shaft ????? Yes the 20 hp sumps are all the same, except for the ones with a filter

Oil that is Black Gold, Texas Tea........ LOL..........

 

[txzrider2]

so both my 20's have a filter... I will try and dissemble the older one ... will the bottom piece just come off?

 

[Boudreaux In Eunice La.]

What bottom piece ?? The shaft has to be naked and free of rust before you can get the sump cover off.........

If you have a piece of the clutch on the shaft then that needs to come off....... Then see if it vibrates........

Let us know Mon Ami ~!~!

Did that, fired it back up w/o the pullys and pto... still vibrated. If I pull the sump cover off, will I be able to see the counter balance assy?

 

[Boudreaux In Eunice La.]

Yes you will...... You will see everything.......

 

[txzrider2]

Yes you will...... You will see everything.......

Thanks it looks like I will have to use some emery cloth to get the rust off before taking the old sump off... do not want to damage the seal if possible.

 

[Boudreaux In Eunice La.]

Don't worry about the seal, that will come in the gasket kit .....
