briggs

Ladies & Gentlemen, I seek your wisdom. My mower will start fine but when cold it takes several minutes of sputtering and puffing black smoke to decide to speed up and run. It has new carb, coil and plug. Once it warms up and starts first pull every time and runs fine.

This is an engine on an older pressure washer. I have had it since new but it has not been run for about 10 years. I usually use Stabil when I know I will store an engine but dont recall if I did this time. The is a few tablespoons of gas that I poured out. I have not tried to start it but I'm...

I stored the battery on a tender over the winter. When I went to install it tonight I reversed the polarity. Don’t ask me how I did something so boneheaded, it’s too stupid and embarrassing to recount. It was getting dark so I just disconnected it and didn’t reinstall. I’ll do that tomorrow...

I have a Briggs 19.5hp that had a bad camshaft in it, I replaced it and the mower would start fine when cold , harder to crank when hot. Now, it wont crank with a new 340cca battery and booster cables from the truck connected. Ive tried readjusting the valves (intake .005 exhaust .006), did not...

I have a John Deere ZTR mower. It has a Briggs 40N8770073G1 engine. (Vtwin 20.0 hp 656 cc vertical shaft) (JD mower model Z335E 42A Emission family MJDXPNHEQE01) I went to the Briggs website and it shows the oil filter is a 597557. I am trying to cross it to something that is stocked around...

I was just cleaning the carb on a B&S 100802-0121-H8 which I believe is a 750EX ReadyStart Victa Mustang mower engine, but the sticker has come off before I bought this. One of the linkages (governor?) disconnected and I can't see where to attach it back. It's probably not easy to explain, but...

The K Courage 19 split the crank so I bought a Briggs EX1900 replacement. Been studying the wire diagrams to connect. Briggs has 4 wires - gray to fuel, black to magneto, orange to lights, red to alternator. CC has a double red, double white/red, yellow, black that connect. I assume CC black...

Alright, I'm gonna cut the chit chat and get to the question: COULD I convert my Briggs and Stratton V-Twin (445677) to use Diesel Fuel? It seems feasible to me. Would the oem carburetor work, or would I have to somehow make it fuel-injected? I think that if I replace the spark plugs with glow...

This forum is American I guess: it doesn't seem to know about the Briggs and Stratton engines we have all over Australia. Like in the Bunnings 'Cheetah' lawn mower. But maybe someone knows them or there's Aussies viewing the forum. Mine has developed 'hunting'. It won't run for long, nearly...

Only on almost full choke, no power. New fuel filter and air filter. Pulled fuel line and cranked, it trickled out. What is norman flow?

I have a 16 HP I/C engine in my Simplicity 5216H. Bought new in 1986. Engine model 402707 0145 01. The engine is getting a bit tired and I'd like to re-ring it. Compression is 90 lbs in both cylinders, factory cross hatching is still visible on the cylinder walls. The engine runs fine, just down...

Looking into possibly rebuilding a 190cc quantum engine? Am I wasting my time with these aluminum blocks? I looked online and can't seem to source a shortblock part# or verify if parts will swap over. Can't even seem to find the date code? Engine is off a 2006 SR4. Thought about trying a 7/8in...

Changed carbs adjusted valves still the same thing hunts real bad only runs with choke half on. Changed carb head gasket and lapped the babes still hunts an dies without choke on

Had to replace the compression release. Was running - I thought fine the entire summer. Don't remember if there was a knock. Reassembled, started up perfectly but it has a knocking sound at low RPMS - think its still there at higher rpms. Checked valve clearance and reset - same...

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...

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...

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...

I have a 356447-0415-G1 horizontal V twin Briggs&Stratton engine on a Walker S18 mower. Sometimes the main pulley driving the mower from the engine does not spin. If I stop the mower and manually spin the main drive a little back/forth, and then restart the engine, it will spin. It appears like...

Trying to add a gas tank from my older Briggs motor (Model 217802) onto a new Briggs E1150 engine that came without a fuel tank attached. Any help with how to mount the bracket that attaches to the tank from the old motor to the new one would be appreciated.

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.

I have a v twin briggs that only needs a single piston. It's a old back up mower and I don't want to spend the money on a set and I already have a new rod and rings. Could I order a piston for a single cylinder engine? Model: 44R677 0004G1

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.

Hello. My edger, won't start. The edger is a Craftsman 247.772460. The engine is a Briggs and Stratton 550 series, serial number 11 0204 54 57251.

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...

Unit #1 Model 31A607 Type 0741-E1 Code 070326ZE I/C 15.5HP Unit #2 Model 287707 Type 1224-E1 Code 971009ZO I/C 14.5HP I do not believe either of these units have an ignition safety interlock issue since both solenoids always activate. Both units have had their batteries swapped...

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?

Anyone have a PDF copy of this MS-7862 booklet to share? The booklet is about testing coils.

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.

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.

Bought it new 5 years ago & never had a problem, now it constantly just surges, tries to die & I guess the govenor brings it back. Thought it wasent getting enough fuel so I bought new, replaced fuel filter, still just surges, it will quit if you push the throttle up till it dies from being on...

I have a Briggs and Stratton engine on a log splitter that needs to be replaced. I got it for free but the engine is locked up due to the old owner running it without oil. Its on a Huskee 22 ton log splitter. Honestly it looks like a push mower engine but I wasn't sure if one would work. I did...

Greetings all, I have a 16.5hp single cylinder OHV Briggs engine. I accidentally stripped 2 of the threads when reattaching the oil pan to the rest of the block (all aluminum). One of the threads has cracked, exposing the bolt to the engine's oil, and essentially a hole in the compression. Is...
