Need Advise on Rebuilding a B&S 22 V-Twin

[Dave_Williams]

I read I also need to match (or better) the amperage O/P of the alternator too, correct?

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.

Would this be a good replacement engine? How's the price?

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?

I would get a parts mower with a 44 engine

I would buy a good used riding mower and call it good. Why buy a used mower for the engine, put that engine in your riding mower with the bad engine? Just check it out thoroughly before buying.
