6.50 with Ready Start---not starting.

[Mozz]

Having trouble getting my LawnBoy Briggs and Stratton, 6.50 with Ready Start to start.


I tuned it up- replaced the plug, oil, filter, (it was emptied of gas after the last use) I half filled with fresh gas.


Its not turning over. I cant find the primer. Looks like it should be here,


Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Your engine has a temperature controlled automatic choke, no manual choke or primer. Google: B&S manuals, enter engine number 126t02-3212-b1, operators manual & parts list. Engine cold adjust valves to specs. page 9.

Try some starting fluid, if it runs for a few seconds then its a fuel issue, if it does not pop off then you have a spark issue. Draining fuel can cause it to gum up when the remaining gas evaporates.

I dont see any other numbers on it.

Ready start doesn't have a primer.

That is what I was beginning to think.

Instead it has a fuse I think. Is that correct? If so, where can I find that?

Ok..its not an electric stat, and does not have a primer....


Thanks mechanic mark, great info! Ill go through it and give the mower another start after the snow melts...getting hit tonight

Mark has added info to his post.

If it's electric start then there's a fuse.
So what exactly is the problem, you said not starting then not turning over, then asking about primer? This will help all those trying to help.

I am looking for a schematic or picture of where the fuse is located and what type of fuse it is.

I used some ether to get it going and it started for a couple of seconds. I am not even sure there is a fuse at this point.

Going to clean up the carburetor tomorrow.

Any help with any of these topics will be greatly appreciated.
