dhd thank you for the reply. I am so happy for you.

Compressed air is a great idea I will use it thanks. The lawn is done and the new kill switch is on the way.

My b&s 450e is back to fun and games again. Runs a minute then cuts off. By coincidence after a rinse off including taking the top cover off I started the mower and full power no cutoff. Had to shut down and now the bail does not shut off the engine, possibly some 409 on there. Started it...

Hello all. Watching a lot of lawn mower videos and notice guys using a hydralic table thingie to raise a light push mower off the floor. The idea is to raise the mower up to a height where work on them is practical. Who sells these things? Thanks for reply.

Holy smokes! You are right! The spring had come loose. All I had to do was reattach the spring and full power again! Thank you thank you thank you. https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/5AEAAeSwr9dp5sI0/s-l1600.webp

the linkage at the carburator. old photo I will pull the cover off and see if something is blocking the device.

certainly sounds possible. I will get some easier checks out of the way and see if I can pull off that flywheel. I did source a woodruff key (it is actually a rectangle.)

thank you for your reply. It's a briggs and stration 80000 450e very basic push mower model number 08p502-0064-f1. Today I plan to examine the spark plug for fouling and maybe replace it anyway. The additives were burned off I will try new fuel. I will report back the results. Oil level...

Hello all. Some of you remember my posts on the Weedeater push mower that kept cutting off. and now the latest. I have been getting good results running ethanol blend fuel and running the mower dry. Today I started the mower and when it ran into a shallow depression it stalled out. Since...

Great news! I was able to start the mower and it ran as long as I wanted it to. The primer bulb was stronger so I think that helped to prime the engine. After start up I rocked the mower holding the handle bar about 60 to 100 times. After warming up the engine ran, poping and spiting and...

When I switched to TruFuel, initially the mower would start, I would see a smooth drop in performance, then a recovery to full power. After a while, had to rock the mower to keep it from stalling, then it would cut out when it hit some thick grass. If the mower had become sufficiently hot, the...

I think you mean the shuroff cable? Yeah that happened to me. I purchased two cables and have never had that problem again.

I replaced the carb with a brand new one and still have the same problem. I will consider the marine conditioner thanks. I always use the highest octane I can get. Will probably go back to Sunoco 93 Octane. I checked the tank carefully, if there is a screen I cannot get at it. I drained the...

The problem started in the early fall. I changed the carb with a new one. Same problem. This does not mean the carb is not dirty just the same problem. I watched a you tube video last night the mechanic claimed the spark plug ceramic was cracked. He replaced the plug and the mower worked fine.
