Review on ⚙️ RareElectrical Briggs and Stratton Engine Starter Motor for 31P677 31P707 31P777 31P877 by Paul Tucker

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Have used this item for approximately 18 months.

This starter motor worked on my John Deere Z225 with a 18.5hp Briggs OHV engine, however it should have had a steel or bronze gear instead of a plastic gear as my engine has a steel flywheel. From my research, the 16 tooth plastic gear on my engine doesn't last very long, so if the plastic gear fails I'll have to put an old bronze or steel 14 tooth gear on this starter. I have run the engine 5 or 6 times and this starter has worked perfectly every time. If you need a new starter make sure it has the correct gear for your flywheel as the C clamp on the shaft is very difficult to remove. Plastic gears - aluminum or plastic flywheel, metal gears - steel flywheel. UPDATE: 2 1/2 months later but still works better than the original launcher. There are no problems with the plastic gear.
