12 hp Briggs & Stratton rebuild kits?

[professorfate]

Can anyone tell me where I can purchase complete good quality rebuild kits for my Briggs & Stratton 12 hp engine? I was hoping to find one that offers oversize piston and rings also. Any help appreciated. Thanks, Joe

Hi, and welcome to TBN. Have you considered contacting B & S directly? They may sell to the end user or direct you to a place that does. You could also consider replacing the engine.

I have used Jack's in the past for some minor parts like gaskets. Not sure of quality or source.

. Nice to have with us Joe. Good question.

Probably going to find you can buy a HF (made in China) engine complete cheaper than repair parts for your B&S....
I know it was cheaper to go with the HF 6.5 HP engine to replace the 5 hp B&S engine on my log splitter than buy needed parts to get B&S running...
And yes I hate sending my money to China but....

I have yet to find a suitable replacement for my 12 HP B&S engine.

We need to hear back from Joe but maybe he can't change the drive mount. So engine repair is the best option.

If anyone has it, Jack’s would.
