used my 27hp 44q777-0136 engine for one cutting and busted a rod!Took it to B&S Certified dealer as requested by B&S.Dealer said it looked as though it may have been machined wrong ,but B&S apparently did not believe the dealer and sent a salesman out(ONE WEEK LATER) to take pictures of engine and send to B&S! Briggs is disputing the Warranty saying it was run low on oil! Now B&S want me to pay for dissassembly and shipping of engine to B&S for further review!If this engine was low on oil,then the full mark is in the wrong place!What a joke! I have e-mailed B&S twice and issue is still not resolved!My next resort will be the Better Business Bureau
ConsNoisy, broke after 2weeks
No, I do not recommend this product.

Why will the starter not turn the engine over?
This engine is in a Craftsman Garden tractor purchased in 2009.I have installed a new starter switch,solenoid and starter and it has not helped.The battery is fully charged and giving full power.It acts like the starter is not obtaining enough electricity or the engine has to much compression and needs a larger starter.If I take hold of the flywheel screen and reverse the engine a half to full turn,then the starter will turn the engine over and start immediately.Does the machine need larger electric cables or an addtional ground cable?The tractor started fine the first year and then started acting up.It does turn over some times but is more inclined not to.It seems like it depends on how the engine stops when it is shut off from prior use.I have checked all connections and they are tight.
I had exact same problem and what it turned out to be ,my grandchildren were playing on it and accidentally pulled up the cutting blade lever and it doesnt have the energy to start with blade solonoid picked!Sounds simple enough but I replaced battery starter and starter solonoid before I figured it out!Hope this helps
