How to take a briggs 18hp opposed twin starter apart and clean

[@daveward1484]

I'm looking at this in 2023 at this rate I would have to guess your still working on this project.

[@BigRig003]

No unfortunately

[@Adcockautomotive]

This is not a V twin Briggs, It's a "opposing twin cylinder". If you don't know the difference between a V twin, opposed, or inline engine, you probably don't need to be giving advise and confusing people that are trying to learn how to D.I.Y.

i know it is not a vtwin. non the less it has twin cylinders. and yes its opposed. i was still new to the mower world, so please don't bash me. now i am more experienced and have a little more knowledge.

Yea how do u put the brushes back in the starter my brushes r good cap is good but can't get it back together

[@BigRig003]

You need to use like some wire to hold the brushes in while you put the starter motor in (put the brushes in through the bottom of the cap so you can remove the wire when starter is together).

[@BigRig003]

Is the engine seized or stuck?

water in the cyl rusted the pistons to the cyl so the motor needs to come apart, the cyls honed out, rings freed, pistons sanded so they have new wear surface, new gaskets, oil oil oil everything and put it back together again. shoot oil in the plug hole and let it sit to free up pistons but then it will have rust in cyl so if u try to run it it will ruin the piston/cyl/rings on the rust so.... take it apart and get $20 cyl hone for the cyl of your size, piston size.
