Engine Crankshaft (PTO) specifications for CV20S-65577

No a compression test is for the cylinder compression only...... A leakdown test is for the rings, valves and head gaskets ETC..........

It works with a compressor.....

I'll throw a link up in a lil bit ..........

Yup ^^^.

It'll also give you an idea of the INTERNAL health of your engine overall.

That little head gasket leak, doing a compression test, wouldn't leak out fast enough and would show GOOD compression.

The leak down tester, you would see on the gauge how mush it's leaking and from where.


From a very old Stihl chain saw, two stroke, (partial basket case) I worked on:
(major leakage)

 
Sorry for the long delay in posting an update on my project but have been otherwise busy.

I decided to replace the head gasket and clean up those valves. Engine is back running great!

Thanks again to everyone e who took time to help me on this matter. What a great forum!

Any engine will bolt on being Briggs, Kawi, Kohler, ETC ETC........ When the pulley is off you can measure the shaft with a tape or some calipers, you can hand make calipers and then transfer that to a piece of paper then measure with a ruler.......

My old cv20s blew a connecting rod. Was 1 inch by about 4. Bought used engine and shaft is 1 and 1/8 . I cannot find a pto clutch that will fit my scag sthm. Any words of wisdom? Thanks
 
All of the PTO clutch makers have an on line catalogue
All of them make a range of 1.125" clutches because the commercial engine have a 1.125" crank ( one reason why they are more expensive )
The really tricky bit is getting one with the same connectors as yours.

look at your clutch.
It will have the makers name , model & serial numbers on it

OR

23 pages of 1.125" PTO clutches
Find one with the same size pulley and a pig tail so you can wire it into your mower
Check the photos to see what anchoring holes / slots it has
You can just about put any one one
The really important thing is the pulley size as that controls the blade speed
Check the application ( right click the More button ) and see what it is fitted to
Find one that is used for the same size or next larger deck size as yours.
