i lost compression in one hole on my LA130's 21hp B&S. i found an engine from a L120 (20 horse twin B&S) that is fairly close to me. can anyone tell me if this would be a "direct" swap?
i just wanted to update this for anyone in the future searching for similar info. the swap between the two engine went almost perfect. the only thing that was different was the fuel pump on the LA130 21hp engine was on the left side, and the pump on the L120's 20 hp engine was on the right side. so i needed a new, longer fuel line, but other than that it was a direct swap. electrical plugs, tranny belt pulley, deck drive pulley, engine mounting pattern, choke/throttle cables, exhaust, etc... was all the same. the engines do have completely different carb setups on them, but that didnt make a difference
