hydrolocked briggs flat head

Well, do this next time it gets stuck, rather than winding it backwards pull the plug and see if it spins through.

I already tried... it doesnt

Does the engine have a ball bearing on the output shaft?

 

[5horsebriggs]

Is it a little black ring

 

[Neck]

No, the clutch side of the engine will look similar to this...

 

[5horsebriggs]

Yes it looks like that

 

[Neck]

The bearing may have lost it's cage and the bearings are trying to climb over each other, at this point, it's time to look inside.

 

[5horsebriggs]

I will tomorrow

Good luck! Take pictures.
