briggs

In the last two weeks I've done many things, but in the meantime the current problem is this definitely getting spark to the spark plug after spraying carburetor cleaner into the intake while turning the key. The only thing that happens is backfire through the carburetor or popping the engine...

I am a self-employed lawn mower repairman, and have been repairing small engine equipment for many years. I am currently working on a Craftsman T130 that is causing me major grief! Following is the issue with the mower, along with parts I have replaced: When I try to start the engine, it tries...

I picked up a toro recycler 22 with Briggs 128m02-3425-b1 engine. Compression was very weak, I lapped the valve seats and it started up and ran great. I did a 10 minute or so test cut, changed the drive belt and cut my front yard. Ran great. I changed the oil, and it hasn't started since...

Greetings, Curious, anyone ever see a Briggs Stratton 26HP Intek just stop with nothing and no noise, no locked engine, just no piston movement, but valves work fine on both heads. One piston at top and the other at bottom. How is it possible for both roda to let go at same time with no lock...

I was wondering if anyone knows what the head bolt torque is for a newer briggs 22hp v twin engine is. My repair book is older and doesn't mention the specs for this engine. The main difference is thar the head bolts are not the typical 1/2in bolts I usually deal with, they are smaller 3/8...

Runs not the best at full throttle but good enough ti get the job done, at idle it seems to run out of gas until the governor kicks in and keeps repeating. Is this carb adjustable?

My mower wants to die when at idle. The thing is when I tip it back the idle smooths out to normal. Have replaced carburetor still da same problem. It will idle smooth then all of a sudden die down like there is no air. And then idle back up again. Is my fuel tank blocked? This is really weird.

I’m working on this Recycler 20334 with a 7hp Briggs, not an OHV engine. It usually starts pretty well on the rope, but not the typical 1 pull start. This mower has an electric start too. I usually will start on electric, but it cranks and cranks and cranks. I’ve removed and cleaned the carb...

Briggs 104M02-0005-F1 engine on a Snapper walk behind 12AVB2A2707 SER 1K195K31260. Customer brought it in and said it sounds like it is knocking and low on power. Sounds like the knock sound is coming from the carb. Any idea what it might be.

This is my first experience with Briggs auto choke with a wind vain and I can’t make it work right no matter what I try.. the thermostat does not work fast enough.. you have to hold the choke open until it gets good and warm.. Hmmm.. I replaced the thermostat and adjusted it properly.. It take...

Greentree is saying this product is 8.40in tall and 7.35in wide. I've never seen one that tall, with the big primer hole. I don't have the model number, because the QR code doesn't work. It's only got a serial number 12 0410 54 72598. 140cc 550 EX(I think)

Okay guys here is one for you to diagnosis. Briggs 33R877-0034-G1 Originally shattering starter gears. Other techs including JD replaced the starter and the gear a least several times. Never found that the camshaft ACR was broken. Replaced starter Bendix assy and camshaft. Mower was return...

Neighbor brought a Toro Personal Pace (Briggs 7.0 Quantum) with the blade clutch feature. When it starts with the blade not yet engaged, it surges wildly. But when the bail is pulled thus engaging the blade, it runs great (3200 RPM). Tried several known good & clean (one brand new) carbs & still...

I hope someone can point me in the right direction. I have a 900 Intek series 205cc (122012 0 140 B8) motor that I believe has broken the crank inside the case. It did not have a catastrophic failure; it was running fine. I shut it off and went to start it, and there was a clunking noise when I...

Briggs has licensed Snapper brand to Daye North america. Looks like they also have rights to the Murray name. Daye entered the US market in 2018 from North Carolina and will market the Snapper name to box store and dealers. Daye had a new manufacturer 5M square foot factory in China...

Does anyone know a part # for this carb? I have a Troy-Bilt with this engine and it has no carb on it. The Briggs website wasn't much help and neither was the Troy-bilt site. Thanks in advance for any help.

Manual says vanguard full synthetic 15w50 is preferred, 5w30 synthetic also an option. My question: the vanguard costs more. Walmart has Mobil 1 15w50 and Valvoline 5w30 for less. Would either of these be o.k. to use other than the Vanguard? Opinions appreciated. This is on a Bradley stand...

Hi, Trying to find new Decal, no luck... Any ideas???

My neighbor flipped his lawn vacuum cart over while it was running and the engine, a briggs flat head, started smoking heavily. Now he says it will not start so I'm guessing oil was pulled into the carb and exhaust. Anyone have experience with how to go about a remedy? I'm thinking pull the carb...

Got given this mower, originally it ran but was surging and thought a simple carb clean would sort it. Cleaned the carb, now it’s barely running! Replaced fuel, filter, plug etc. getting ready to throw it off a cliff.

Anybody know what the valve clearances are supposed to be on a Briggs & Stratton Model# 08P502-0169F

Mine's still running fine at 170hrs but my question is: Is there anything I can to to pre-empt failure? I've read of a work around with the starter so you can keep using the engine IF the parts fall harmlessly in to the sump. But engine becomes junk if the parts hit other parts. I haven't seen...
