Briggs and Stratton is a select brand of lawn mower. When oiling one's Briggs and Stratton lawn mower engine, it is best to use a high quality oil. One can find such an oil at their local home improvement store, such as Home Depot.
As of my last knowledge update in January 2022, Briggs & Stratton engines are primarily manufactured in the United States. The company has production facilities in various locations, including Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, and Poplar Bluff, Missouri. However, it's essential to note that the status and locations of manufacturing may change, so it's advisable to check the latest information from the company or reliable sources for the most current details on Briggs & Stratton engine production.
The correct gap for the spark plug of a Briggs and Stratton 6.75 Lawnmower engine 0.030. Most new plugs come with that gap, but it is best to check to make sure.

Briggs and Stratton made several different ones and the best way to get the proper plug will be to call an authorized Briggs and Stratton repair shop with the mower make and model numbers.
10w30 Synthetic oil is what is best for any air cooled engine. You can also use straight 30w.
Briggs and stratton is actually the engine make, it also has a hydrostatic drive to them. It also has a rear wheel drive and has forward variable speeds, the power of the engines are normally 19.5 (hp)
The best way to know if an engine is 2-stroke or 4-stroke, is to look for an oil spout. If the engine has an oil spout where oil has to be poured into, it is a 4-stroke. If the engine has no oil spout and the oil has to be added to the fuel, then it is a 2-stroke.
Absolutely not. Briggs & Stratton recommends you use nothing heavier than SAE 30 weight oil. Briggs says that SAE 5w30 Full Synthetic provides the best protection, easy starting, and less oil combustion in all temperatures. That is exactly what I would use.
Carburetors are a great expense and it is always best money can buy. There are many companies that makes great carburetors but one is recognized as being the best. This company is Briggs and Stratton.
Generac, Briggs & Stratton, and Honda are all excellent generator companies. It's best to determine your needs, then decide on the size/model of generator.
Briggs and Stratton recommends Synthetic 5W-30 for the best protection at all temperatures. This weight gives better starting with less oil consumption. During winter months, when temperatures dip below 40 degrees, 5W-30 is recommended.
Briggs & Stratton recommends high quality detergent straight 30 weight but this can result in hard starting and may damage the engine at colder (below 40 F) temps. Multi-viscosity standard automotive oils (5w-30, 10w-30, etc.) are acceptable but will result in very high oil consumption at ambient temperatures over 40 F, and may void your warranty. High quality synthetic multi-viscosity oils are best for all temperatures.
