Maybe no juice in the battery.
how much would it cost to bore out a 12 hp briggs and stratton riding mower motor
Even though an Intek is not shown, it would be the YouTube video below.
Briggs & Stratton parts would be used on air-cooled gasoline engines. The company is the world's largest manufacturer of these engines which are mainly used for outdoor power equipment.
There is not such conversion of displacement to HP. You have what is basically a 17 cu. in engine and that would seem to be and 8 to 10 HP engine in an OHV configuration.
would depend on what motor and HP - Briggs & Stratton? check the number on the spark plug and see what the standard gap is for that plug. Most all plugs are pre-gapped when you buy them. But most small Briggs & Stratton plugs are gapped at 30 thousands ( 0.030 )
No. It's purpose is only to prevent fuel from entering the main jet and emulsion tube. If it were defective, either the motor would occasionally backfire (stuck open) or not allow the motor to run (stuck closed). Either way, the motor would still turn over.
It looks like a custom made "antique" that resembles an early motorcycle. It appears to have a Briggs & Stratton motor. I would say an 1900ish blackhawk.
My 6.75hp Briggs calls for 30wt, so I would make a reasonable assumption that the 6.5hp calls for the same.
I'm going to say no, that would be like putting a Briggs and Stratton in a '69 Camaro...
Typically this is caused by a bad seat safety switch.
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.
The Briggs and Stratton push mower tune-up kit includes a pack of Stabil, 18 ounce bottle of oil, spark plug and air filter, so the correct answer would be 18 ounces. Always check the oil level level after refilling. According to Briggs & Stratton website it takes 22 ounces. If the engine is equipped with an oil filter add 4 ounces.
