I am looking to find a rebuild kit for a Briggs and Stratton engine that is on a small 1800 watt generator It looks like the engine was ran out of oil And the crank and rod are pretty buggered up Any places around that would have parts or even a replacement engine would be cool too.
Looking that model up, it looks like it's from a powermate generator from 2005-6. 148 cc, 5hp. If that's it, you probably can just throw a chonda in there and call it good. $99 typically 6.5 HP (212cc) OHV Horizontal Shaft Gas Engine EPA..
The only problem with that is generators generally have a specific crankshaft...as far as how the genny couples to the engine...
Need the engine model #. It will be on the valve cover or a shroud or maybe dot stamped into the block. eg: 12S912-1234-E1 Then the date code: 050102xx In engines, 6hp and smaller, I've found rebuild parts cost prohibitive. Was gonna rebuild a 12S912 PW engine but camshaft, oil slinger/gov, timing gear, gasket set was over $100.....PHHHFFTSSST on that.
^^^^ this is probably true^^^^ and I would agree that parts cost is going to kill you --- but you never know. Ran low on oil so probably looking at: Piston Piston rings Connecting Rod Head gasket Side cover gasket Crankshaft ( clean off any aluminum from the rod with some muriatic acid and polish it ) = good enough I doubt that there was any damage to the camshaft and valve train so all this should be just fine. I have spent money on worse things.
I tore into a small Briggs in the early 90's to find a nylon camshaft. Yes it was toast and parts were stupid$$$ It went to the junk pile.
Sorry about the delay responding to this I think this is the number plate to get parts with. The generator was given to me I figured if it didn’t cost too much to fix I could keep it out of the landfill and put it to use on the pop up camper I was going to put another engine on it that came off of a pressure washer but the crankshaft on the generator has a tapered end where it connects with the armature. So I figured I would give it a shot with a rebuild
