Hello mower people
I am sending this message from Australia mostly because you guys have a much larger following for small engines over there so I figure I will have a much bett chance finding the info I need so thank you all in advance for your help ..
Ok so now my question .
I have a Briggs and Stratton 252707 11hp that is on my Australian built greenfield mower. Now I was given this mower buy a friend that owns a mower shop and traded it for one of his customers (he is not a mechanic he just sells them) . Now after getting it home I got it to run and it pumped oil into the carb. Now this I picked up as a bad thing I also noticed that when you open the petrol tap fule runs into the carp and then straight into the cylinder .. So I put 2+2 together and decided that I needed to pull of the head to see what damage had been caused by running the engine with oil mixed with fule ..
The news was bad .... Very very very very bad the cylinder has got gouges in the wall the are wayyyyy to deep to repair ..
Sooooo I have found a local mower guy that has a couple of Briggs blocks in the back of his workshop covered in 10 years of dust and he has said I can have what ever I like for 20 a peice ...
So my problem after my life story is how can you identify a Briggs block I was able to identify my engine because the model number is stamped into one of the covers . But the blocks in this guys workshop don't have the covers and the guys don't "remember" what they are from
I cold go and buy a set of calipers and an inside micromiter blah blah blah To measure the bore and bits and pieces and compare to the engine I have but to buy all these special tools and then do the rebuild it would be cheaper to buy a new engine. I really want to do the rebuild as a learning exercise but I don't want to buy hundreds of dollars of tools to measure this one job .... Your help and secrets are appreciated
Thanks
Marcus
