Briggs & Stratton won't prime

[exotion]

Just because you do not understand or get what the OP is asking or trying to say does not mean it bullchit.
I asked about a briggs twin engine and no one on here could tell me why it does this. A few even said I made the whole thing up.

Everytime a mechanic looks at my jeep they are like this is not running.... I'm like I drove it here they say no I didn't.

Some people lack terminology or part names to properly rescind the problem doesn't make people full of bullchit .... That's all

Why would it not be still going?

Why would the thread not be going? Because there's no reason for it to be going on...
1. It was a simple answer that was given several pages back. The carb matches the engine, not the mower. A previous owner had installed the wrong carb.
2. the mower was fixed... problem solved. It's posted back on page 6.
Why is it still going? That's something you'd have to answer. I'm sure you have your reasons

Mr. Fish just gets bored sitting behind the counter, because no one comes in with numbers. I pity the poor novice who comes into his place asking for help. He acts more like the engineers, who get defensive about their designs, when mechanics ask why they make us remove extra parts to fix simple problems. They never have to work on the finished product, he has always known how to do everything and has never had to solve the problems by learning from past experiences. Just like many of the teenagers I had in the classroom. Good part is that most of them learned where they were wrong very quickly.

Nah, the Briggs site puts up several carb setups for the engine listed, Primer/choke, Nikki/Nikuni?Briggs, whatever. The info needed for intelligent discussion was on the Toro model number. As far as "Rivets" assuming that I am a parts guy is false as well. I have been the tech in the shop that the parts guys came to with questions.

Your posts, Rivets, are revealing a lot about you......

This forum, luckily, is not your "classroom".....

As I said, closing the choke doesn't start the engine. I have to prime it. You have suggestions?

Let us explore this post, eh?

 

[Fish]

What is the whole story on this engine? Does this carb have a choke? Is this a different carb from the original? What is the Toro model number?

Pretty much "nailed" it here........
