Hello Snapper Users,
I am new to the forum and this is my first post. I own the above 21" Snapper walk behind self-propel mower. My engine stopped running last Saturday for no apparent reason that I could think of or see. The one thing I did notice is that it had little to no compression when I tried to restart the engine. I was looking at buying new rings, valves, tappets if needed, gasket set, and piston if needed. I priced everything and it came out to $120 for everything, or $85 with out the piston. Should I rebuild this engine or get a new replacement engine? I have seen a few on Ebay and on Small Engine Warehouse.com. I asked the Small Engine Warehouse seller on ebay if the Kohler XT800-3048 would fit my deck and I gave them all the information about my snapper. Small Engine Warehouse emailed me back through ebay and said that, that engine would not fit my mower and unfortunately they did not have an engine in stock that would fit. So I am trying to find a place that carries replacement engines that can help me. Do any of you know where I can go to get a replacement engine that will work on my mower? I like the prices that the small engine warehouse has on there small engines, but if they don't have a replacement then they don't do me any good. Thank you in advance for all your help.
