I know it's a force fit, but hear me out..
Engine Serial: 1408295633665
Engine Model: 128M02-0133-F1
Mower Model: 20332
Mower Serial: 315016539
I have a little project that I am working on, and am trying to put the pieces together. One piece, is the start mechanism.
Currently, my Toro Recycler push mower is a pull start, which does not have teeth on the flywheel for an electric start. However after looking over the parts diagram for the given serial number, this Briggs *appears to have teeth, so maybe the electric start was an option at some point?
Either way, I found an electric start kit on Craigslist for $20 (starter, battery, battery-box, harness, ignition switch, and key). The problem is, even if I had the kit, I still don't have a compatible flywheel.
So the question is, without too much of a headache, would it be possible to swap out my flywheel with another Briggs version with teeth? I see a couple B&S engines for cheap on CL, but it's a toss up if the flywheel would fit or not.
Is there a rule of thumb, or anything like that which would indicate if the flywheel would be compatible. For example, "190cc B&s engines from year xxx to xxx would be compatible"
The easiest approach, if cost was not a factor, would be to go buy a used mower with an electric start. However, cost is a factor, so if I can pick up a starter kit for $20, and maybe a free flywheel from a blown engine, then it might be worth the time/effort. Compatibility being the main concern.
As you can probably tell, I am new to this, so bear with me.
Thanks!
