OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Repairs and Maintenance Questions on Engines Questions On Briggs & Stratton Engines Seized engine - No oil

This morning I have fitted flywheel cover, repaired starter, replaced governor spring, serviced wheels.
Started from cold first pull, gave it a run & changed the oil.
Grumpy I will fine tune it, I will wait until I can cut some grass first.
It idles and runs fine as it is for now.


Broken starter cog & original governor spring.



I changed the governor arrangement to this.



I consider myself fortunate to get this result, I will mow the yard a few times to see how the engine turns out.
