122K00 (0006-3113) Briggs and Stratton Engine - Instructions

I found the model number of the Briggs & Stratton engine on the inside of the engine housing. Ordered a new starter-rewind unit, as the old cord broke and the thing was well worn. The instructions were clear enough, but to get the old starter off I had to drill out four rivets, which just spin around when you try. I used a hacksaw, chisel ... Read more , pliers, whatever worked on each rivet; this took a while. When they were finally removed, the new starter pull unit was relatively easy to install with the small nuts and bolts provided. On the Yard Machines log splitter, putting back the engine housing is quite tricky; you have to jostle the thing into place, get the pull handle above the cover and line up the bolt holes.

Inspected/removed fuel lines and found signs of leak. Removed and inspected carburetor and found that seals and gaskets were toast. Replaced said seals with ones from the kit that fit and replaced fuel lines.

Would be nice to have a fuel line kit with the big fuel line (tank to carb) and the little one (carb to engine) together ... Read more with all the necessary clamps.

I installed a new solenoid starter. Took me a total of 20 minutes. Started right up.

Loosened engine cover and moved out of the way
Removed air intake and filter
Loosened and disconnected gas line to carburetor
Unscrewed carburetor and disconnected from throttle arm
Reversed process using new carburetor, O-ring and gasket

Removed engine, no specialty tools required. Honed the cylinder, and lapped the valves. Tip on compressing valve spring for reassembly; compress springs with you finger and tie them with 2 zip ties, cut the zip ties after installing the keepers. Repainted the mower deck and engine. It runs and looks like new. My Toro is a 1999 model .

blower housing on my brothers log splitter broke at the anchor points and caused the pull start to break and come apart. I was able to buy the parts and fix the log splitter for half the price of a new motor, saving him about $300.00.

All the gaskets needed to be replaced on the Briggs 6.75 flathead I was rebuilding. I ported and polished the ports and shaved the eyebrow between the valves and the piston. The gasket set was a perfect fit. It is a monster now. It doesn't sound like a lawnmower engine anymore

The repair did not happen. The item number PS9294414 was the wrong
part. When I looked up the model number of 126-T02-0625-B1 engine after I tried to install it. The PartSelect answer was that they no longer had parts for 126-T02-0625-B1 engine any more. Do I need to send the
Spring-Choke Return and get my refund back. If so h ... Read more ow do I do it.
