I have a briggs & stratton 12hp with vertical shaft.
I was taking off the crankcase plate to change the oil seal and the slinger-oil fell out and I am not sure how it fits back on. Is there any way you could help me put the slinger-oil back in it's position.
@robviolin1 there should be a shaft with a gear that it slides onto, there is also usually a slightly deeper spot in the oil pan, you want to position it so that the slinger is dipping down into that spot
what rings did you use? do you remeber? i have to find some rings for my running model 8. it could use a set. i just cleaned up a nicer carb for it so it should run really good with my better carb and new rings.
my best guess would be ebay or if you have any local stores that sell discontinued or replacement parts, if not its not too hard to find a similar enough float that you can retrofit into it
Crankshaft is toast! You do NOT want the flywheel to come off, and it will without a nut holding it on. Are there any threads left?I hope you can find another...they made millions of that type..check with your local mower shop.
Cast iron block and head lol that engine will out last ten new B&S engines.
