857 14 #1 Posted October 5, 2017 Is there a correct way round to fit 783 on to 513. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daveoman1966 3,762 #2 Posted October 5, 2017 (edited) With ABSOLUTE amazement.... I was working on the exact same starter today... A briggs. Talk about coincidence... Found o9ut that you can flip the 783 to put the worn side in.. I hasve 3 or 4 of these in my shop... Can you tell me the model number of this starter??? no numbers on it at all.

857 14 #3 Posted October 5, 2017 No part No on the starter but the engine it is on is a B+Stratton 252707 0620-01, 8hp engine, the reason I am asking is I bought a new bendix gear (not genuine B+S) and it smashed up first time I used it, the company I bought it from are inferring I put it the wrong way round.

daveoman1966 3,762 #4 Posted October 5, 2017 Thanx for the schematic... I copied it. Are these things worth my time to cleanup and resell? ? ?? Spring is broken in this one. I took it apart just to see if I can use the NYLON gear in others ...Yes. Also to see if it would flip over...YES again. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
857 14 #5 Posted October 5, 2017 Normally you would expect there to be a hair spring between the gear and top plate to return it to the resting position, but not on this model, over here a new starter is about £50 I am not sure I would buy a second hand one. If you turn the gear over in your picture is there a recess like there is in the retaining collar next to it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
