You know I have read a LOT of threads on here about motors not restarting when hot not just briggs, and I have read very few threads that figured out what the problem was. Why is that? Do people just give up? I don't understand.

Most people lack the common courtesy to come back and say Thank You!

Most want everything handed to them on a chrome platter. And have a $1300 cell phone, these peoples......

Just put one of these on top of the coil filled with ice. You can mow all day long. Easy right?

I Know what you mean. I'm on a few other forums and that's the way it is there also. Believe me I will be here until the end. Hopefully someone will read my problems and will help them fix there mower.

LOL That's why I still have a flip phone I guess. LOL

Well I got the new coil installed today. Lets see how it works out once it gets hot. I was lucky to find an original coil

I will say it runs better than it ever has with the new coil.

Yipee!! She's a runner.

Okay, that filthy engine is next. Remove the engine shroud again and clean all that oily dirt mud pack muck off the top of the engine block and cooling fins. This is a YEARLY procedure in your engine manual. All that dirt and oil will insulate the block and fins retarding air cooling. Neglect this and you are looking at future engine damage. Look behind mufflers and so on all around the block. Some engines might have a block hugging cover to keep cooling air close to the block. Remove and clean behind those if you have one. Again look all around and on the bottom of the block too. Clean it like a new engine. Compressed air, Scrubcadet10 brushes and so on.



Also probably a good idea on that rich runner to pull the heads and de-carbonize the cylinders, valves and heads. This is also in your engine manual.
