I was mowing the lawn with a 22" Self Propelled Brute Briggs and Stratton. and it just turned off. I put more gas, but it wouldn't turn on anymore.

I don't know much about fixing mowers, but I opened it up and removed the ignition coil because a friend I talked to told me that could be it. However, I don't want to buy a new ignition coil if that's not the problem.

Then, I saw that the pipe under it was cracked. The picture is attached. Does this crack mean anything and could it be the reason the mower doesnt turn on?





Thanks

Oh ok thanks. Do you know where I can find that part? I can't find anything on google or ebay :/

Simplest way is take the engine cover (which has your model numbers to your local repair shop and get a new one. Or take the old one along. Not a hard fix and well worth repairing. Also, take a look at this manual which will help your.

and before you install the coil,take a small file or sandpaper and shine up the topsof those two coil mounting post.

Thanks for the tips.

Thanks for the advice. Bought a broken 550 Briggs mower for $7. The carb tube looked exactly the same as mine. I removed it and installed it in mine. It fit fine but only one screw would go in. Turned on the mower, and it worked great. And to think I was going to junk this for $30. Thanks guys!
