Briggs Flathead / Re: Timing issue
« on: March 16, 2015, 08:38:15 pm »
I recently replaced the flywheel so I checked the key. A backfire had sheared lit etting the flywheel spin a quarter of a rotation before it got stuck again. This is what caused the issue thanks for the advice though.

Briggs Flathead / Timing issue
« on: March 16, 2015, 08:16:47 pm »
I had my engine, an 18 opposed briggs, running before I put it in a garage for storage all winter. Now the time ing is off and exhaust comes out of the carb when im trying to start it except for the occasional large puff of smoke out the exhaust. Having fireballs come out of my carb is exciting and all but Id like to get my engine running again. Does anyone know how I fix this?

I have my new billet aluminum flywheel and I just removed my old flywheel. The old flywheel had tons of magnets on the inside and the new one doesn't have any. Is that a issue or do I just bolt on the new flywheel.

Could I have a bad starter.

I've tried several differnt batteries. I am just hooking jumper cables from a car battery to some fins on the side and the positive terminal on the starter. This method has worked several times I don't know if it's the best way to do it though.

I haven't done anything to the engine yet so it is still stock. I've had it running several times to test my mower, today I couldn't get it to start. The starter just can't turn the engine over quick enough. Do I have a bad starter?

I have a peerless 700 which is leaking gear oil. I have tried sealing it with gasket maker but it still leaks. I believe it is leaking out of the bushings. Does this mean I have bad bushings and they need to be replaced?

Thanks for the heads up on the pushrods. I think I'm going to go ahead and get a billet flywheel, ARC rods and a new cam. Once I see how it's running with those parts I'll think about the other work.

If I get the billet flywheel would getting billet rods, exhaust work and new pushrods get me anymore rpms without the carb and porting work?
