| I need some help from you experts out there!!
I have a circa 1992 Briggs 18hp Opposed twin. Disassembled motor to fix valve tappet problem and clean almost 20 years of carbon deposits, install new gaskets etc...
Thank you all very much for the help!!! Really want to get it up and running again, it has been a fantastic machine, dont want to waste it. |

| Are you talking a horizontal shaft engine? IF so, did you put the oil diper back in correctly? Walt Conner |

| Unfortunately no, it is a vertical shaft engine. The 'oil' pump plastic gear and the crank gear mesh well, so it's not either of those causing binding. There is a notch on each piston the I have facing the the top of the engine, or the side with the flywheel, not the belt pulley. Since they turn freely before the oil pan is installed I couldn't imagine they are binding, but I might try spinning them around tonight... |
