Engine was running fairly good but started surging so I replaced the carburetor and crankcase air breather tube and now the engine produces a lot of smoke and will not stay running. Any ideas?

My tow behind tiller uses a B&S #13l332-0001 E8 engine. After two seasons use the engine lost spark and would not start. I disconnected the kill switch wires and still had no spark. I bought a new #590818 coil from a B&S dealer and set it up (this side out) at about .010" from the flywheel. No...

I have a GSM Wood Chipper fitted with a Briggs & Stratton 18HP OHV V Twin engine. It was running fine & chipping wood fine. It suddenly stopped & will not fire or start. There is no sign of it trying to catch. I have pulled both spark plugs & they are wet with fuel, so it looks as though its not...

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 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...

My 15 year old walk behind 21 in snapper/Briggs blade clutch cable (the dead man switch- you let go of the bail on the handle and the engine stops) broke. the replacement part is called "Control Zone". Seems "Blade clutch cable would be better- stupid." . Who picked "control zone"?

I have a craftsman mower with a briggs motor, 093j02-0011-f1, pouring white smoke out of the air filter breather tube. It is difficult to start as well. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

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...

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.

Hi, I have a briggs 407677-0229-E1 (craftsman ride mower) It has had a valve bearing slip (over heating, mouse nest etc.) It bent two push rods.

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...

A 175 cc vertical shaft Briggs labeled “professional” with about 30 hours started smoking terribly, probably a broken ring, is this common? Engine was serviced regularly, ran great ….

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...

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...
