B&S Modell 44R877-0001G1

ANOTHER kick in the gonads !! was just checkin P/Ns to order some engine parts for perceived up-coming maintenance, and some parts for the 44R engine, just discovered my 2 Barrel NIKKI carb on my 2003 B-S 21 HP no longer displays, it now shows the 1 Barrel carb, similar/same as the carb on motomans, 44 N 877 0001-G1 engine ( haven't really checked the EXACT numbers ) BUT it's still a manifold and carb change-over. about $ 200.00 !!! Glad I can still find repair/replacement parts for the 2 Barrel, .. UNTIL ..??? EVEN the 3rd party parts houses show the 1 Barrel now .......... NO MENTION of superseded P/N or REVISION #s ..NOTHING !!! F &@#$$#@%^$# Briggs & Stratton at their best !
It's no wonder people ( like me ) get the "ROSY-RED" with them .

............. my 2003 Engine model showing new 1 Barrel carb. replacement model

INFO for DEMININ :

Deminin, here's a pic of the thermostat equipped engine, also I found the start instructions, ... notice there's a COLD 32deg pos. ( which you most likely shouldnt use at all) is this the procedure you've been using, and you have the hard start problem ??

Do any of the 40 & 44 series V twins not have cast iron liners? Never heard of one.

This is about the only thing I found about a cast iron sleeve in these models ( so far ) one ad says it, the other does not but I would ASSUME it does since, it has a few other "enhancements" ........

I have an Intek I/C 21 HP (2003) and it has an iron sleeve ( model 4045A7 )
