Hi All

I have the above ride on mower. My starter has jammed -yeouch...

I read that some briggs and stratton starter motors are compatible and
are certainly more readily available.

Does any one know which B&S motor would fit mine or can I get mine
reconditioned somewhere?

I am in Fife in Scotland.

Cheers




There is just no way any B&S starter motor is going to fit a Honda. The
starters used by B&S are extremely cheap quality and usually not worth
rebuilding _if_ you can even get the parts. On the other hand a Honda
starter motor is very high quality, all the parts should be available
and are usually good as new once you replace whatever piece has gone bad.

Before you dive in start taking it apart, check the power cable and
connector at the starter, solenoid and the battery. Often a bad
connection at one of these points will appear to be a bad starter. The
connection can look fine but be electrically very poor.
