Testing a Briggs & Stratton 22HP V-Twin OHV Intek motor

We took a chance and bought two "untested, parts or repair" motors online from MEL-CO. We figured they would be seized or have thrown rods or something and we could rebuild them. This was the first one to show up, it's from August of 2005, and was replaced under warranty about 1 year later. We were surprised to find that it had compression and spark. So we threw it on a tractor, hooked up a gas tank and gave it a try. Mechanically it's fine, it still may have some problem with the stator or something electrical, we don't know yet. But that's small beans right now. I hope that the 26HP one we bought will be just as good. Oh, and we obviously forgot to hook up something to ground out the spark, lol!

UPDATE 8/1/08: This engine is now on our new Craftsman DLT2000 with pedal drive. It runs great!

[LynolsOffice]

MEL-CO is a seller on eBay.

i got a 15 horse single for free- guy said it was knocking so he replaced it and threw this one in the dumpster, so i come along asked him what was wrong with it and he said it was knocking, i get it, gas, oil, battery and it started first try-and ran without knocking

[LynolsOffice]

Ha! can't beat that! The motor mounting bolts were probably loose or something causing the knocking. Sweet deal.

[TheWallSaysBoycott]

This company had a combined total of 36 employees that contributed to the campaigns of Wisconsin's Temporary Governor Scott Walker for a total of over $25,000.So Briggs & Stratton is on the Boycott list and everyone is encouraged to join and share the message.
