Briggs and Stratton 16 HP OHV engine
I've inherited a Sears lawn tractor with a 16 HP OHV B&S engine. Seems the
engine was run without oil and is shot/seized. I need a source of a new/rebuilt/use engine for this machine. Also would like info on rebuilt kits for this engine. I have lots of time but little money so ... Any help would be appreciated. BTW Sears wants more for a new engine then they are selling the entire tractor. |

All responses directed me to their 'dealer' net work. No one I spoke with had any interest other than trying to sell me a new engine. Interesting point I can purchase a brand new lawn tractor for less than they want for just the engine. |

I bought it on Ebay on impulse at a good price and have no real use for it (Oh well!). I always thought it would make a good go-kart engine (kinda big & heavy tho). |

So far all want to sell me a new engine ( I can buy a new engine for most cars for less). Still a few were honest enough to point out I could buy a new tractor for less. |

No problem. Actually yes I can buy a car engine for less. Those are more common, and you ain't buying a -new- car engine for that cheap. While this is much better than anything I've found so far it is still more than I think is either fair or justified. (I've found new lawn tractors for not much more) Where can you buy a completely new lawn tractor for $600? |

Are you absolutely sure your engine is seized due to running with no oil? The oil could have been drained and the motor merely needs a little TLC to revive it. Remove all the spark plugs and spray some WD-40 or similar penetrant into cylinder thru spark plug holes. Let it sit a few minutes and try to turn it over. The piston rings could merely be rusted to the cylinder walls due to non-use. This is a common problem for engines that have sit a while. Anyway, if you get it to turn over this way (it won't start without spark plugs), fill the resevoir with oil, put the spark plugs back in, and then try to start it. Good Luck! |
