The engine is locked up and has a hole in the block. Where can I get a replacement engine? It wouldn't bother me to get a Honda or Briggs just as long as I can bolt it on the deck.

For specs on the engine, look for engine model number and type then google. You will find the engine model number either on the block of the engine or on the fan cover. If you can't find a number, google the brand of the engine using search key " engine model number location" ex Briggs model number location. Could be either briggs, tech, honda or other. Good luck.
first you will need to make sure that the block will accept the starter by that i mean are there holes tapped into the block for it if so replace flywheel to if it is not set up for a starter it should have "teeth along the bottom of flywheel for the starter to engage in then add a solenoid battery and starter switch and you should be ready
If it broke I wouldn't bother replacing it until I confirmed that the valves are NOT bent! Usually when the belt brakes on a Hyundai the piston will hit a valve or two and sometimes the valve will actually poke a hole in the piston.
Likely it would move back towards the pressure sending unit and possibly block it off. Why not just disable the distributor and crank the engine over a couple of turns with a rag over the opening so oil doesn't go everywhere? That should push whatever you dropped into the hole right out of there!! If the piece that dropped into the hole was silicone, depending on how large it is, it could give you a problem, depending on where it lodged. A very small piece probably wouldn't matter, as the oil passages are fairly large. If the stuff that went in the hole was teflon tape from the sender, I wouldn't worry about it at all.
The carburetor needs to be cleaned. There is something in one of the passages that is keeping it from running correctly.
To do this you will need a can of carburetor cleaner (spray) and a very thin wire to probe in all of the holes of the carburetor.
First, take the carburetor loose from where it mounts to the engine. Then take the wire and probe all of the holes in the carburetor, and also the holes in the fuel bowl nut (if any are present). Then shoot the carburetor cleaner through the holes to remove any loose particles of dirt or debris and to make sure the passages are clear. After you have done this, then you will need to blow through the holes to make absolutely sure that everything is removed that could be blocking either fuel or air from passing through the carburetor.
Re-install the carburetor back onto the engine, and check to see if the unit is running ok. If at this point the carburetor is still not running correctly, you may have to replace the carburetor. When you go to the parts counter you should have the MODEL, TYPE, and CODE off of the flywheel housing. These numbers are stamped into the metal.
I hope this helps you out.
Easy to check if your engine was designed for additon of starter. Starter motor is mounted at rear of engine to gain access or flywheel. The block would need to have mounting holes already drilled into block and the flywheel will need to have ring gear. There should be a removable plate on fan cover (or cutout) to allow starter to enter flywheel. If your block has mounting holes but not the geared flywheel, you could try to find a dead motor with good starter parts at small engine shop. Good luck
If it is a DPH it has a Honda engine. If it is a DPD it has a Dewalt engine that is made by either Honda or is a Chinese copy of the Honda engine. I looked at a photo of the engine and it looks like a Honda engine not a Briggs engine. Look on the engine data plate and if it says Made In China it is a chinese copy. If it say's Made In Japan it is a Honda. Some Briggs engines are made in China also so it is hard to tell except by the looks of the engine. The Chinese copy of the Honda engine looks exactly like a Honda.
Hi
If it has a steel seat i would not bother with the seat if it has a rubber seat i would replace. To install rubber seat you just need a punch or anything that fits in the hole with a flat bottom.
