Hello. I really appreciate your helpful videos. I rebuilt my Briggs starter following your instructions. I also changed out the solenoid, plugs, gas filter and the coil since I had everything open on the engine. This is for my 1992 Craftsman 18HP flathead. The tractor is in great shape and now it's purring like a kitten. So again I say thank you for all of your time and efforts. Keep up the great work.

This instruction was spot on. I have a similar, old Craftsman tractor. It needed a new top end on the starter motor. This video explained the whole process which was good if you haven't done it before. Thanks Donyboy.

You make the best small engine repair videos! I had this same problem with my cub cadet xt1 with a kohler v twin. I removed the starter and, surprise, all the parts were metal. No wear on the gear. I took the end cap off the shaft and a nut and washer came off with it. I refastened the washer and nut, put it all back together and back on the motor and, zoom, started right up on the first go. So, that nut must have a tendency to work themselves loose. Anyone having the same problem with a cub cadet xt1, before you spend 40 dollars on a new starter, check for this simple fix first.

Also, if you find that the problem is more complicated, probably best just to buy a new starter. This starter model looks like its not really built to be rebuilt. Would be more complicated than your average rebuild job.

I have heard that they make the one gear out of plastic so in case the engine will not spin it only breaks that gear and not damage the engine . I have a 1991 craftsman the you have to pull the top of the engine off to get to one of the bolts .I have a briggs book that says that is the only way to remove the starter . I wish it was as easy as yours. I also have a 96 and it comes out like yours . Keep the great videos comming.

Wow, thank you. Your video gave me the confidence to attempt fixing mine. However, in my case, the gear is made of metal and seemed in good shape, and what is happening in my case is that the small gear is not "jumping up" to engage the larger gear. So, I worked the gear up and down and hit it with some Break Free and it started working 90% of the time but every now and then it would hesitate to jump up. What would cause this? I have a Koheler Command 11-16 HP motor from about 15 years ago in a Yard Machine. I am sure something more needs to be done to permanent solve the problem? Thanks for the great video!

Good video. I liked the way you showed details on removing the roll pin using a punch with the starter shaft supported by a vice or something metal, such as a socket from a socket wrench set. I needed to know how to remove the roll pin without damaging the starter. My only suggestion is that you should tell viewers that the "appropriate punch" to use is a 1/8-inch punch that is not tapered (which I learned from another KZitem video on this same subject).

The bolts in the aluminum casing were strip so I jb weld them to it. I'm so poor can't afford a riding mower. I bought this one for $50.00 as is got it fixed just right only problem is the starter.

They sent an extra plastic gear with the starter when I bought it but it’s a pain in the ass & very time consuming having to go through the whole process of taking everything off to get the starter off and then fix it and then the whole process of putting everything back on. I hope the replacement lasts more than 3 mows!!! 😡

Stripping too many pinion gears on starter : Don't forget to check bolt tightness, there has to be a lockwasher on each bolt otherwise they bottom in the hole and leave a dangling starter motor that strips threads faster. Chk starter frequently for looseness/wobbly install (loose or bottomed bolts). 2. U can use 9mm or 5/16 socket & hammer to tap the snap ring back in. 3. One guy showed how by turning the flywheel (battery disconnected) by hand he can get the pinion gear off & one without taking starter or flywheel off. Another guy showed how he with hand grinder, ground off about 3-4" length of top side of flywheel (don't get into the flywheel teeth) to make more room to get pinion gear off easier removal again w/o taking starter or flywheel off. Good video, thanks.

hello, This spring at second use of the HUSQVARNA Rider R 320 on the lawn after the first two - three starts there was a noise like a scratch (cranck) , we found that the starter motor was detached, the inner casing of one of the two gripping holes was worn out, the screw did not fall anymore. We went to the authorized Husqvarna service on May 14, when the problem was not detected yet. The screw was recharged, the starter motor was removed, at the suggestion of husqvarna staff, we bought a new battery without any effect. At this moment, the situation is as follows: after two attempts the engine starts then the starter motor gets hot and is no longer able to turn the engine. I write these lines in the idea that maybe you will be able to advise us what to do next to be able to use this machine for as long as possible. Thank you for your patience and attention, Ana Maria ps: i really hope you'll find this massage. Have a nice day!
