Where is the location of the idle screw on the Briggs and Stratton 6.0 engine mulcher mower?
Depending on how this mower got out of tune is how you are going to know how to tune it back. It may be as simple as adjusting the mixture screw on your carburetor, or as difficult as filing the points (older engine) or replacing the diaphragms on the carburetor.
Briggs and Stratton made almost exclusively four stroke engines. There is no fuel oil mixture for a four stroke engine. Are you sure you have a two stroke engine by Briggs and Stratto? rhg
There is not really a set fuel air mixture. Each engine will be different even if they are the same engine during the build process they are set specifically to the engine.
One can purchase parts for a used Briggs and Stratton lawn mower from the following sources: Mower Graveyard, eBay, Briggs and Stratton, Zangler Repair, Lowes, Discount Online Parts.
You can find the operator's manual for that engine at www.briggsandstratton.com. You will need to contact the manufacturer of the mower for the lawn mower owner's manual. Briggs and Stratton did not amke that mower, only the engine.
I have a 2007 cub cadet LT 1046 riding mower. I wish to adjust the low idle fuel mixture, but cant find the adjustment screw. Could you tell me where, and would I have to take off any other components off to get to it? the mower has a Kohler Courage 23 HP Model SV 720S engine. Thanks- Butch.
It shouldn't. If you have a dip stick to add oil, you won't also need mixed gas
Briggs and Stratton does contract anyone to build mowers. The mower manufacturers contract Briggs and Stratton to build their engines (or whatever engine is on the unit). That is why you can have a Briggs and Stratton on most any type of mower. Same is true for Kohler, Tecumseh, etc. Not to say that the engine manufacturers do not build their own type of outdoor power tool but as the question states "snapper mower". Also keep in mind that if you have a snapper mower with a Briggs and Stratton engine and you need warranty work on the engine you need to go to an Authorized Briggs repair facility where as if you have a mower warranty then you need to go to an authorized repair facility for the mower manufacturer.
It is a 2-cycle 4HP Briggs motor.
there should be a screw in the side of the carbuerator. turn the screw all the way in be careful not to bottom it out tight you will ruin the needle valve. then turn the screw opposite 1 1/4 times this should be good slow idle and also fast idle speed.
