Looking up a replacement gear shows no longer available. Any suggestions on a replacement gear. Hard to believe that a 2 year old engine is discontinued. Was hoping to find a steel ring gear since the steel pinion gear really destroyed the aluminum ring. Thanks
2 years old and parts not available--that certainly doesn't sound right. I'd call a Briggs dealer and see what they say, maybe you are missing a substitution part #--I hope so anyway.
