Briggs Flathead / 8hp briggs starter gear
« on: June 25, 2015, 11:51:35 pm »
I have a mildly built 8hp a cam billet flywheel dual valve springs and larger valves I dont know much about the parts because i just got a few boxes of engine parts and a few blocks. My question is when i go to start the engine if it backfires it just shreds the starter gear. Is it a starter shiming problem or is this a common problem because i was told that you arent able to get a high torque starter for these engines. Thanks
