Information on the engine If any one has an old Briggs engine or knows where I can get Parts..OR if any one knows if a flywheel off a newer model would work. ![[Linked Image]](https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7871/39851540203_a2b24066d5_b_d.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7921/39851573813_e62758913c_z_d.jpg) Jim, I will see if I can find my books on those engines, but IIRC a 14hp has the same flywheel as the 16hp does. There were several families in the I/C model line. 5hp, 8-10hp, 12 - 16hp and then those above. It has been awhile since I used them, and I do not remember where I put them.

I've been plugging around and can't even find a flywheel listed for that type.. Thought that kinda strange. Thinking about just fabricating a stub shaft like the ones they put on the kohler engines to run the hydrostatic drives like on my old Jacobsen and Cub cadets. Bolts to the flywheel to provide a shaft on that end too. Then just mount a external belt driven alternator or generator to keep the battery charged. Engine runs fine with no issue with the magneto just the darn alternator. battery doesn't last too long when it's feeding the windings. I thought that once you excited a generator it fed it's self. Those welder/ generators Different?
I know a lot about a lot of things BUT I still have a lot to learn. Life is what you make of it. So, why not make a working machine to make it easier.

So I gather the problem is the missing magnets inside flywheel? If so let me suggest these folks: Applied Magnetics - neodynium magnet suppiers.Bought some dandy magnets from them to build a windmill generator. (So dandy they truly scared me.) Cost was quite reasonable compared to others. Given the age of your unit you can probably signifcantly improve performance just by using stronger magnets. Poke around on the site for more options.

Doc I hadn't thought of trying to glue new magnets on because the Last time I tried that the alternator didn't put out.. must have had a couple reversed or some thing. I'll have to check it out. I've learned a lot since then.

Now that you have a working example, you might use a cheap compass and map how magnet polarity are mounted. Just a thought. Doc
