What are you talking about? You're in space? Lol

Startech, I can’t thank you enough. 🙏🙏🙏 Thank you so much! Will update later.

Sorry, it’s 926865

As you know, I’ve been trying to replace the blown Honda gxv670 in my hustler super z mini. I found a good Briggs and Stratton 24HP vtwin with less than 100 hours for $170 and I’m trying to adapt it to work. One of the problems is this is my first ztr that I’ve worked on and there are relays for...

It probably has a lot of old oil remaining in it, which would account for the extra ounces.

The spec is 48oz. Did you change the oil filter too? Just run it for a few minutes to let the oil fill up the filter and oil passages, etc. Are you on any kind of incline?

I would do whatever you can to fix it up. I've got an opposed twin from 1985 that's still running good, just needs new rings.

sweet, thank you!

Hi, My Hustler super Z mini's honda GXV670 is blown after 700 hours. I'm looking to swap the engine. The Honda's shaft size was 1.125 (diameter) x 3.75 (length), and I would ideally like to keep the original pulley and PTO. I'm having a hard time finding a used riding mower with a 1.125 shaft...

I wanted to CONVERT A BRIGGS TO DIESEL. I know I can just buy a Diesel engine, but I like a challenge. And remember the only dumb question is one you're too afraid to ask :)

I was thinking I could put injectors in the manifold

I love the 12v 5.9 Cummins :D

Ok, if I “need a turbo”, couldn’t I just fab a RHB31 to it? Also, I thought diesel’s were shorter strokes..

Alright, I'm gonna cut the chit chat and get to the question: COULD I convert my Briggs and Stratton V-Twin (445677) to use Diesel Fuel? It seems feasible to me. Would the oem carburetor work, or would I have to somehow make it fuel-injected? I think that if I replace the spark plugs with glow...

My dads got a JD 6x4 Gas Gator, we took the engine all apart because it was running bad. I think it had low compression so we got a rebuild kit with rings and pistons. The rings had tons of sludge and buildup in them. It has 4K hours on it 😦 lol only kawa could do something like that. Anyway...

Hey, love that profile pic!

Have you reset the governor?

Engine model no. ?

"Lapped the babes", huh? 🤔

@Alan46 did you mean a chat room?

FEMA would have enough money if the Democrats stopped sending Ukraine billions of dollars! We need to put our country first, and allies second. Ukraine isn't even in NATO so what are we doing sending them money. I am supporting the conservative party of common sense and I'm glad to see slomo and...

Wdym?

You could also add a fuel shutoff. Also, verify that your anti backfire solenoid is working.

Get a rebuild kit for the carb or buy an aftermarket and swap all the new parts onto the old shell except the jets. Also, please don't post 2 threads, you won't get more answers.

Upload a pic of the engine and wiring?

Grab the con rod and if there is any movement, that's your knock. Just replace the con rod.

I hope you get this on video :)

You shouldn't have to rebuild it unless you have low compression on one side. It sounds like it could be a bent pushrod or valves need adjusted. A top end refresh is smart tho. Could only be a carb.

I would get a parts mower with a 44 engine

That would be perfect but you have to measure your pto shaft. What's your Husqvarna model? Deck size? If you want to buy a $700 engine, go ahead, but I would assess your riding mower's value. Is it worth putting an expensive engine in?

You should get a 44 series Briggs. Very common but very good. Your engine has a 40xxxx model, so its a 40 series. You want a 44 series with a 44xxxx model number. Make sure the shaft size is the same.

Yeah, the fact that it's an "Intek" series engine explains everything. Avoid getting an intek replacement engine.

Most Briggs twins are plug and play. Can you upload a pic of the engine shroud?

I would say since the block is damaged that it is not WORTH because parts will cost you the same as a used engine. I would junk the engine but keep the good parts especially the carb.

Hmm, are you going to take both heads off and adjust the valves?

I've always used silver

Was it ran without oil or just leaked out over time? You might wanna crack the sump open and check for damage.

Hey, that would make some good content... "Driving my racing mower until it throws a rod" Iol 😉

IKR, the vtwins with open exhaust sound like motorcycles. IMO any engine is better than a single cylinder for a racing mower. Vtwins are also wildly reliable most of the time.

Also, there's nothing wrong with Briggs v-twins, but if I was making a racing Mower, I would prefer a Briggs opposed twin. Basically the "indestructible inline 6" of mowers

No, the engine could go up to 7k if you wanted it to. It's an internal part of the transmission. It would probably be easier to swap in a manual.

Manuals Don't have rev limiters. Post your mower's model no. It should start with 917.Xxxxx

Would you happen to be GasGuzler on YouTube?

So, I have reused head bolts many times and never had any lssues. I also didn't torque them down and didn't have issues lol. I would pull out a bolt or two and if they're really Rusty or corroded, etc, then replace them. Otherwise, I wouldn't replace them. BTW, Welcome to the forum!

Black RTV

Yep, that's a mower if you Mount a blade to the side and try not to die lol
