Briggs & Stratton won't prime

[Carscw]

Yah, you all go about removing me.... It would make most of you guys happy, eh???? No woories..........

Man don't let the little stuff get to you.

No worries. Like I said before, I just post here to try to help folks, but like the other guys here, I love to baste my own ego.......... So there will be some friction....
But what really chafes me is the guys posting bogus scenarios, which happens a lot.

Yes, most of us work in this field, and the sad truth is that there are "trolls" that cruise these forums and like to make us jump through a lot of hoops.....

In my opinion the problem is most people think their way is the only way to do things.

I have ways that work for me that others say will not work just as I think others go about things the long hard way.

Now let's be honest there is nothing hard or difficult about mowers.

yes this is true and most mowers are simple

They can be simple once you understand the mechanics there is nothing to overly complicated about the parts that brake carbs are the number one offender. Followed by valve adjustment and then the flywheel key. Once something internal or electrical it gets complicated but basicaly a small engine is all the same.

I hate carbs I just replace them on mowers I get that need them. I have a briggs that is 11 years old has never had the carb touched.

Electrical to me is the easy thing next to belts and pulleys. You have one wire that runs all over the mower with a few on off switches on it

Carbs are easy for me. Cleaning them usually works. Small carbs for 4 stroke or 2 stroke aren't worth rebuilding might as well spring the couple extra bucks for a new carb . I've rebuilt car carbs quite a bit. For those a rebuild is hugely cheaper then replacing especialy of you have a quality one.

Electrical is hit and miss with me if the wiring is straight forward positive and negative and ground. And I can follow the battery. When I have to start testing relays and pto and such I seem to get overwhelmed
