Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): Briggs Help, type numbers, safety switch


Question
I've got a Briggs Motor : YBSXS.5012vp  / 274826  It is currently on a john deere mower, it replaced a 14.5 briggs that was blown..  I dont know what size motor it is, i think its a 12 hp ,  it is not charging the battery currently..  and it wont turn over at all after a charge. any documentation would be helpful..  ( wiring diagrams etc..  )  thank you

Answer
 Hello James:

 The Not Starting even After a Charge is Most Likely a Safety Switch. Will the Engine Turn if you Jumper Direct to the Starter? The Manuals for this Engine Are NoT Offered Online. However you can Purchase them Omline at this Addy http://shop.briggsandstratton.com/BShopProductListingPage.asp?MecID=100&CatalogI... and Enter the Model Numbers YBSXS and the Type Numbers 5012 and Click Search. For Diagrams of the Tractor you can go to this Addy http://jdpc.deere.com/jdpc/servlet/com.deere.u90490.partscatalog.view.servlets.H... Hope this Helps. I am here if you Require more Assistance. Let me know what Happens, Please. Thanks.

 Good Luck

 Respectfully

 John
