Want this question answered?
I have a 14.5 Briggs and Stratton engine on a Ranch King riding mower that will not start. After spraying starter fluid into the head, and air cleaner it fires for a second, but will not run. It is getting gas.....coil??? or something else?
Briggs has a rudimentary wiring diagram for the operation of an electric start engine. see the link below.
It is the whole assembly containing the pull start (if applicable) or the metal or plastic shroud surrounding the flywheel (it spins when you start the engine ).
Clean out the carburetor with gas, the reason it wont keep running is its not getting enough gas through the carburetor.
Try 32 thousands, to start, depends on how much compression the engine has at this point.
bad gas, dirty carb needs new sparkplug. youtube has repair vids on how to do what. user (davidsfarm) has great tips
dirty fuel filter or water in the bowl of the carb
Might be in your ignition : lose wire, bad switch : when it won't start check for spark .
Because its a pos I have a brand new one that won't start.
4.5 mower will start and run for two seconds
Car brands that start with a b -Buick -Briggs & Stratton -BMW -Bugatti -Bristol -Bricklin -Bertone -Bentley
Is your battery ok? looks like there is not enough power to start the engine, but just for the starter relaiy Kind regards: Eddy P.S. i am looking for the instruction manual for a '83 westwood 30" single cutter. any idees ,
