Briggs & Stratton 11hp con rod

Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone.

 

Does any have or know where I can get a con rod for my 11hp B&S engine for my  B115.

 

It needs to be 30th oversize, They still make 20th oversize but not 30th anymore,

 

Any help would much appreciated.

 

Regards  Grumps  (Colin)

What happened to the original rod ? did it break or is it worn out ? If worn you could bore it slightly larger,and then possibly 'white metal' it, bore to just undersize then scrape to a fit.

Try 'googling' re- metalling bearings and 'Babbit' metal.If you have a fairly accurate drill press,and a bearing scraper you could probably manage without the use of a lathe or mill.

Hi everyone.

 

Many thanks for your replies.

 

The engine seized because I forgot to check the oil. I took the engine apart and separated the con rod from the crank after a struggle, I then managed to dig the bits of metal from the  con rod, polished the crank and con rod. (I know it's not the right way to do things) anyway it felt pretty good so I put it all back together.

It runs O K and is not making any noises, did 2 hours mowing on Saturday, no problems.

I don't know how long it will last though.

 

I will bear in mind your 11hp B&S Stormin as I think I might need it one day.

 

Regards Grumps.
