Yes, it's powering a mower, Murray 5/25. Yes I have. I have to tried do that very systematically and carefully. I get the motor started, it will run. Both idle, low and high rpm, there is power. BUT, only if I manually ”manage” and control it. That means, I keep an eye on and adjust the...

I ordered the Carburetor Kit for Briggs & Stratton from MSG Supply. Super fast delivery, thanks! (It took almost a month from my local post office to deliver the kit...) I managed to replace all the gaskets and parts, I also carefully inspected the carburetor. Looks clean and good. It also...

Very good video, thank you very much. (y)

Thank you for all the great advices. mfgsupply.com is a gold mine, thanks! Okay, I think my carburetor's throttle shaft bushings are more or less loose. Is there anything I can do? About the ”carb base warping”, I'm not sure where to look. This carburetor is quite simple... I tried to...

Thank for all the info. I have now removed the carburetor-tank-combo to my ”laboratory” for more detailed inspection. My plan is to first try some clean up and non-destructive studying... The engine is labeled: Briggs & Stratton 5hp Model 130902 Type 1237 01 Code...

Yes, exactly. If I put the screw back, it stops the engine. Okay, good advices, thanks to all. I'll remove the carburetor, clean it (and study)... I'll try that Berryman's B12 carb cleaner, too. Let's see how it goes!

Hello everybody! I need some help or advice with my Briggs and Stratton 5 hp (Model 130902). Tje problem seems to be with the Jet Pulse Carburetor. Very simple, but I'm lost! I can get it run but only without the airfilter – or more specific, without the screw in the middle of the...

Okay... I did not know that's possible. Propably that's going to happen here. Thanks for the alert. (I taped the filter because I suspected air leakin into the fuel...) Darn busy here, but I think I found from the manual (link above) some basic adjustments for the carburetor. I'll start with...

I think the electrics are fine and works. I think I have some problem with the fuel, carburetion. The hose with blue tape is the fuel hose. I wrapped the fuel filter with (blue) tape, I suspected a leak... I try to read the manual (link above) and found this: Check Carburetion Before making a...

Wow! I found this! https://www.manualslib.com/manual/863144/Briggs-And-Stratton-Twin-Cylinder-L-Head.html Pretty sure that this is the very same engine. Boxer, twin, 18 hp. I'm now reading this… For the smarter ones, is there something I should be especially carefull?

I couldn't find engines serial number. I have to look closer, no idea where the number is. My guess is that the engine is this >> Briggs & Stratton 422437. Gasoline, 2-cylinder, air-cooled horizontal-shaft, 693 cc / 42.3 ci, 13.4 kW / 18 hp.

Hello! I need step-by-step advice and instructions to get my trusty old Briggs & Startton, Twin engine (18 HP Briggs & Stratton I/C Series), boxer run better. Now it starts okay but runs just on choke, lazy etc. Not okay. ALL advice to normalise the engine setups are welcome! This engine is...

Mission accomplished. Thank you very much, you all! (y) Thanks for the tips and support. Shortly - it was not an easy effort (for me). I removed the four engine bolts and after that it is possible to lift up the engine to give enough clearance. In theory. Good thing is that I did NOT have to...

I think your memory is good. Thank you. Today I managed to loose the PTO belt, open the four bolts and look at this, image below, I think there's enough room to replace the start motor... Looking good. If everything goes okay, then I'll have the start motor replaced soon! Above left, the...
