    14.5 ohv briggs and stratton
    My 14.5 ohv briggs will start and run great. If you can get it to start. When turning the key the starter will engage engine make a few rounds and then kicks back. It has broken 2 starter gears. If you can get it pass the kick back it will run fine. What do you think?
    Thanks,
