Hello gents
I am from Australia and am looking to call on your collective wisdom to assist in the repair of an 8hp vertical shaft briggs & Stratton engine that punched the connecting rod out the side of the engine case.
What engine sizes (ideally larger) share the same physical mounting hole locations, and overall external physical dimensions.
Ideally i would like to install a larger horsepower engine, so long as it is the same physical size as the 8hp vertical shaft engine, or to repair the 8hp 319cc engine with your suggestion of the general replacement parts that i am likely to need.
I have never needed to know anything about these engines, and even though i'm fairly good with repairing engines, i have never had to repair a Briggs & Stratton, so in that respect, i am a newbie to this.
My email: yldflight@hotmail.com.
Best regards to all those that can give me their advice.
Fabian
