i have a 5hp briggs that i'm trying to get running. when i was checking the coil for spark, i removed the fly wheel and put a 1/2" drill on the shaft to turn it over. it turned over very easy, of course, and there was no restriction.
when i replace the flywheel and recoil, it will start, but the shear pin fails and it stalls out. i have replaced 3 shear pins so far and can't find the problem. there is not resistance on the drive shaft to create any counter force.
so.....why do they keep failing? should i use a steel one?
thanks for any help.
