I understand my emergency doesn't make it your emergency...but, I need some help quick.
I have a (last night) seized Briggs 5hp and I was able to get it apart and find the rod has carved some nasty grooves in the crankshaft. I know I'll need new crankshaft, side cover gasket, and connecting rod. Question is, how do I go about getting stock parts for it. Performance isn't an issue whatsoever, this bike is just a show cruiser. Turns out the thing had a nasty gasket on the soccer cover and it leaked oil these past few weeks.
I've found out the motor was made October 5th 1979, I can't really make out everything under the model number, so maybe someone with more knowledge knows more about this
Model: 13 202 Type: 0818 01 Code:79100507
It's a custom bike and we have a BIG BIG show coming up we need this thing to bee running for in two weeks. We have had about 5 magazine (rat rod magazine twice,rebel rodz twice, gulf coast cruisin) coverages with this bike and looking for more :-D
I would HIGHLY appreciate some help, thanks.
