| Well remember why i scraped the Murrat? well it had a unexplained knocking so i shut it down. I discovered the problem . it turned out to be the Link counterweight had broke. I was lucky enough to catch it before it totally damage the block. thank goodness i had another Link counterweight from another motor to put it back in.

| Weird... What kind of motor is it? My 12HP briggs I/C has a distinct knock especially at low RPM but runs fine... I wonder what it is. I've also heard a couple other good working Briggs with the same noise. | |

| Hmm.. Mine's a 94... I have a 2000 13.5 I/C Gold in my mowing mower that also shares the same noise but at higher RPM. Perfect motor, never been abused... And I worked on an 85 or 86 12HP that was REALLY bad but ran fine. Never opened up either one tho... Let us know what you find out anyways! | |
