Outdoor Power Equipment (Lawn Mowers, Snow Blowers, Chain Saws and more) Discussions

I am thinking sometime that I'd like to get my Snapper running again as the one currently on it is shot.  It appears to be a '79 model that has been in the family for a bit of time.  I am looking for a very good replacement engine for it.  The mower model number is V212P, and the engine model is 92908, type 1826-01, and code 78121108.  I have looked at the Briggs Quantum I/C and I like that engine, but am not sure if it would fit on the mower.  I don't like having to drill holes in the frame, but if that means a better engine I'll do that.  I don't want to put too much money into the engine though.  I will definitely need electric start or the Prime'N Pull system found on the Quantum.   It seems that I'd get more starting from the electric start if  I ever had to crank for and extended period of time.  Can the Quantum's or the other engine that supersedes this one be fitted with electric start? 

'Lint - if your fridge has things in it that is older then 27 years - what happens when you open the door?  Do little mold fuzzies start dancing around?

Shoveler - I'm thinking that you are thinking way too much of yourself again.  It's time to go back onto your medication.

Hi Ajace!

I was speaking to some engine repair guys in my area and they agreed that the B&S Quantom engine should fit on your mower. Let me know when you are going to buy it!

Just be careful on how many of those "little blue pills" you slip in his oatmeal.....The poor old guy won't be able too stand close enough too his bench too get any work done.

I think it should Termy, but some say it might not clear the chute properly.  I'm trying to find out if 122K02-0015-E1 is a Quantum.  I can get 123K02-0015-E1 for $193, but don't know if it would fit.  This is something I am getting info on, and isn't anything I am in a hurry to get done.
