If you would give the engine model number, we could verify what starter pn, but since you won't, try this info. Just the gear is...

Cut the plugs off leaving some wire to work with, strip, twist, solder and heat shrink. Don't just barrel crimp and call it done. Not water proof. Will last for many year and save you $$ and shipping costs.

I agree with Rivits's assumption. The black pulley looks tilted towards the fron of the deck. It also looks low to the spindle pulley and the belt is riding high in it. This may be where the noise and heat are coming from. Pull the black pulley again, when the pulley is mounted tight, there...

As BGS states, if this is a Briggs engine, coming to the engine connector are two charging wires (may be in smaller connector). One usually red and the other orange, I think. The red one has a diode in line in it. That goes into the connector and circles around to power the headlights (blue...

I shy away from all governor adjustments unless 100% needed.

What I see is that the throttle cable seems to be too long towards the carb. To adjust the cable, disconnect it from the holding clamp. Set the throttle lever knob(on dash) to full choke position. Rotate the throttle control disc to the max CCW position, remove any cable slack between the...

I buy engines off MP is also an option. I find ones that have been removed from machines with bad transmissions. I have to hear it run first. On, or off the machine. No shipping concerns then and quick pick up.

I just went through all this nonsense with the identical engine. Thought it was knocking. After disassembly and checking all the tolerances, I put it back together. New gaskets even on intake and exhaust. Only seems to knock when starting and slightly when PTO turned on. I finally decided...

Follow the path of the belt around the complete deck. Look for signs of it rubbing on the deck itself or other components, such as brake linkages or keepers. Make sure you are running the spindle pulley covers as they are keepers in themselves. If you don't find anything, try mowing and see...

Stay away from 8Ten belts, short life.

Model number is 13AQA9TTA10 and ILENGINE is correct on the pn. 954-0522A

Per your date code, use RTV on the valve cover rather than a gasket.

Carb solenoid is not yet the issue. I read it as you have fuel to the pump, but it doesn't get pumped out. I have used a small electric fuel pump in the past and they work great. Not very costly. Just tie into a wire that is always on in the run position, like the fuel solenoid wire. If you...

Unless you're going tto trash that motor, find out why the rods bent. Examine the valves and rockers. Are they way out of adjustment, do they both push in easily and come out the same distance. Was the mower run low on oil? I would pull the engine apart and retrieve the broken end of the...
