Gold Dredger dot Com Disscussion Forums

2 years ago my B&S motor locked up on me while I was dredging & I went down to a local shop that sells B&S
and got another motor. After the season was over I was talking with my mechanic & told him what happen.
He said they have a plastic gear inside the motor & it probable brook. Sure enough that what happen, For less then $20
got a new plastic gear & installed it. Now I have a back motor.

CONGRATS ! I prefer fixing stuff myself now that I can't do anything else.

Quite a few years back my brother went to a auction and there was a 3 inch trash pump up to sell that was listed as it had a locked up motor. My brother bid on it and it went cheap , $50.( or my brother wouldn't have bid on it ) ! As it turned out after he got home with it and started looking into why it wouldn't turn over he found a stick stuck in the impellor wheel. once removed it ran fine ! Just goes to show you ! He used it for a year and then sold it for $300. for a tidy profit!
