I have a 2016 Ferris is 600z with the B&S 25 hp commercial. I’ve replaced the battery and solenoid checks out. I’m only getting about 9 volts at the starter but have a strong 12v at the solenoid with the starter cable removed. Do you have to remove the motor to replace it? I can’t see or touch...

This question is about the old style Briggs recoil starter with the balls under the seal, and the bull nose on the crank shaft that protrudes into the square post that goes into the rope spool. When the motor is running it squeals and tries to push the pull rope out. I have fixed this problem...

I have an older Briggs model # 196702-0142-01 and currently have a leaking sump oil seal as I replaced with a new sump and seal about a year ago. The Briggs engine is on a troy-bilt 33" wide cut mower that I purchased in 1996. I think the crankshaft Part # 495629 is worn down so much that it...

I have the above mower. Not sure what model Briggs it is, but it has the automatic choke connected to the muffler, with a control rod. Symptoms vary. Sometimes it starts and runs. Sometimes it doesn't start. When it does run, it will sometimes go until I have to empty the bag, then it won't...

I am working on a briggs tiller model 130297 type 301501 code 88090207 and I replaced the tank gasket and the diaphram and it will idle fine when I adjust the needle valve but when I try to speed it up it stalls. I made sure the long tube was clear and I cleaned the hole in the side of the part...

I have a riding mower with a Briggs 44R677 Type 0018G1. I acquired it from a sketchy used repair/dealer in my area. I put about 2 hours on it - ran fine - until I noticed it was leaking gas out of the fuel pickup under the seat. After replacing the pickup grommet, hose, and fitting it no...

I can't find the Voltage Regulator on my Briggs & Stratton Intek 18.5 volt engine. It has to be there somewhere. I downloaded the diagrams but it doesn't show where it's located. Any ideas?

Generator unit is about 14 years old Briggs & Stratton Storm responder 8250. Always run clean gas through the unit and use stabilizer. Change it every 6 months. This year it had all the signs of crap in the carburetor. I went to take the bowl off to give it a good cleaning and it's held on by...

Grandpa died and left a Billy Goat FM3300 with a blown 13hp Intek pullstart. I scrounged up a 24 horse Briggs (serial no. 49M777 0120 G1) from some high school kids' mud motor project and she's a little shy on electronics. I know I need: top cover, air cleaner, vacuum fuel pump, battery, wiring...

Hi. I have a 17.5 hp in my John Deere D100. It was running great but just started doing this. I can't figure out what's wrong. I tried to attach a video but the forum wont let me add an mp4. The motor starts, runs good for a few seconds, then starts sputtering and blowing black smoke. When...

Hope it is ok to ask question on snowblower. Engine is a Briggs 21m307-01307-0135-f1. Would not start and had no compression. I removed valve cover and found exhaust pushrod disconnected and intake valve bent. Checked valve guides, not worn but can not tell if they moved in the head...

Engine on a Husqvarna 46in riding lawn mower. After replacing the carburetor I have had issues with surging and idle. The replacement is not an exact model but very close. Initially, the engine would constantly surge when not under load. It also didn't seem to run fast enough. I reset the...

This is a county line trimmer with a Briggs 675e series engine. I am still working on getting it running, as it will fire but not stay running. I have put a new fuel filter, bulb, and carb on it and have been careful with the gaskets, new plug and obviously have spark. It you look at the...

I made a log splitter back in the 1990's and it has an old 11HP Briggs with a 16HP V twin carb on it. I bought the engine without a carb and used what I had. It has run for years with no problems till today. The crankcase vent isn't attached to the card and when I finished splitting wood today I...

Updated: The throttle on B&S will choke the carburetor. It won't rev up the engine. I don't see the governor arm moving when I move the throttle. Governor arm will move if I move it with my finger. The governor spring is attached to the throttle like it should be. The springs from linkage to...

I am once again looking at log splitters in the 25-ton range. The few I'm looking at come with the engines mentioned in the title. I'm sure the exact engine models would help, but I don't have that info. Are Briggs engines still okay??? I've read some things over the few years that make me...

Hello! I recently picked up a 12.5hp I/C motor and need help finding an intake manifold or help in suggestions for getting something put together. If anyone could help that would be greatly appreciated.

Greetings. I'm changing the carburetor on my 23 HP Briggs V Twin on my JD Zero Turn. The new carb comes with gaskets, which include gaskets for the intake manifold (see attached), which are different than what I found when I removed the carb (O Rings). So, when installing the new carb, should I...

Trying to remove the drive pulley and wondering if the pulley has to be unscrewed or just removed by heat and tapping. There are threads visible inside the bottom of the pulley but nothing I can find says it has to be unscrewed. There is no bolt from the bottom. Possibly it fell off but it's an...

This is on an MTD Yard Machine Riding mower. Mdl 760. B&S Engine is 282H07-0334-E1 with a Nikki carburetor. It dies after the engine gets good and warmed up. It is still getting spark as the engine is winding down so I believe it is fuel related. It has the fuel shutoff solenoid screwed into...

I have had it sitting in my garage for three years, stopped using it because I noticed the pulsating / surging and never had it fixed. Just changed oil, oil filter, gas filter, flushed gas tank and cleaned carburetor. It has brand new gas as well as battery, spark plug and fuse holder. I can...

Hello! Can anyone help with a diagnostic procedure to reliably rule out a broken compression release mechanism/pin versus a valve clearance that needs to be tweaked, or other possible causes for a B&S not turning over easily? I have a B&S 28W707 16.5HP which is showing symptoms resembling...

Does the compression release ever break or malfunction where it is always engaged so as to affect the low speed and need full choke to run at full speed?

So far i have replaced the carburetor, ensured rubber hose from gas tank to carburetor is clear and clean. I also cleaned out fuel tank and added new premium gas, changed oil, replaced spark plug. It is getting spark. The only way to get the mower to run is spray starting fluid directly into...

Howdy folks, I’m an older fella trying to get my old John Deere JD400 back in working order. I’m swapping in a Briggs & Stratton 386447 engine (left side muffler) to replace the tired original. My main concern is how complicated the wiring will be for this swap—especially since the harness on...

I bought a Snapper RER a few weeks ago that I got refurbished and running good. Included with the RER was a 21" self propelled. It wasn't running but would turn over. I added some needed oil, checked for spark, and confirmed that it would fire with a little starting fluid. I was able to pull the...

So here’s the deal. 2019 Briggs 33R777 0012 G1 fires right up every time. Runs rough and pops at high rpm (although it won’t get nearly as high as it should) but runs smooth at low RPM. I’ve both cleaned the OEM carb and replaced the carb, same issue. Valve clearance is good on intake & exhaust...

I am getting ready to clean my John Deere E170 riding Lawn mower, and I was wondering if it was safe to rinse off the engine?

The squealing starts after the engine is running. If started on concrete do not really hear squeal. Start to cut grass and will hear a periodic squeal coming for pulley starter housing after my research this is what I have done so far: 1) Removed the blower housing 2) Removed the black round...

Hello, looking for advice. My Simplicity Regent with the 24HP Briggs twin will crank but not start. The tank is full of fuel and if I disconnect the fuel line after the fuel pump when I crank it fuel is squirting out. When I shoot starting fluid into the air cleaner it will pop and run for a...

Started some work last year on the motor on my L120, didn't keep track of the bolts to reattach the intake on both sides.... Grrr, just get a ziploc baggie... anyway everything is basically a 10mm head but a 1/4-20 bolt seems to fit really well. I'd like to keep everything oem but not if I...

Hello - I have a Briggs 27 (13 0417 YG 23649) on a Simplicity Prestige (2691130-00) and when I start the engine it idles about 1700 rpm. After mowing, the idle will not go below 2100 rpm. Is there an adjustment for this?

My 32 year old lawn tractor finally blew up and I am replacing the 12.5 hp Briggs that had no voltage regulator with a 28P777 0641 A1 14 hp Briggs that has a voltage regulator. 1) Do I simply hook the red wire on the regulator to power off the switch? It is a 2 wire voltage regulator if it...

I have a briggs motor on a power washer that is acting up . I can pull start the motor and do a project then shut it down. When I go to restart the motor the pull cord will not budge. I pull the recoil mechanism off and the pull cord pull nice and smooth. If I try to rotate the flywheel with my...

First, this lawn mower did not start at all. I replaced the spark plug, cleaned the carburetor, changed oil and gasoline, cleaned the flywheel (there was grass stuck to it, removed it a bit with a screwdriver) and the engine worked (hooray!). BUT: the engine now makes a rattling noise. It is...
