I saw a comment I think in this NG about finding replacement B & S
engines - the one on my cylinder lawn mower has lost compression and I
can't find why despite stripping most of it down and the solution seems
to be to find a replacement. The question is where to go to ?


As NP said its normally only the valves that need attention
New engines, but ridiculously expensive

best place is your local tip, as most cylinder mowers usually end up there
with a working engine.
