Hi all,
I went out to the shed this afternoon and had a little muck around with the 12.5 Briggs and found that when I turned the flywheel the was a minor clunk every time a valve was opened or closed. I then proceeded to open up the crankcase and found that the bottom cam shaft bearing/bush had literally fallen to pieces, so I continued to pull down and scrub the hell out of the engine so I can give it a light hone and new rings. if anyone has a spear sump laying around im willing to pay for it. The model is:286707 type:4028-02
Anyway it will be a good 18 month project lol
Thanks see ya all later
Regards jay
