IT IS BURNING OIL. YOU MIGHT HAVE OVERFILLED THE OIL OR THE PISTON RINGS ARE WORN OUT.
20 oz. when bone dry, but only about 16 oz. will come out during an oil change.
Generally 12 VDC. 24 VDC set-ups are out there, but rare. Keep in mind, though, it is very likely that the equipment manufacturer, NOT Briggs, will supply the battery, and any specs will come from them. (e.g. on a Toro mower w/ a Briggs engine, Toro supplies the battery).
Most have a 20 oz. nominal capacity, though usually it only requires 16 oz. during an oil change since not all will come out.
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.
On Briggs and stratton or techumseh.com Just go to ask.com and type in the brand of product and it should come up.
Three things come to mind: 1) The cooling fins that keep the engine cool are blocked by debris and letting the mower run hot. 2) The coil is getting hot and breaking down causing it to not get spark to the engine. 3) There might be an exhaus leak near the carb causing the gas to vapor lock.
The points on the engine of this mower will need reset. The top of the engine will have to come off in order to gain access to the points, the easiest way to set them is by using a thin pieces of corrugate.
Remove the spark plug from the engine. Attach the wire to the spark plug. Let the spark plug come in contact with the engine block. Make sure the ignition is turned on. If you have a safety bar you will have to pull it into operating mode. Pull the starter rope you should see a spark.
The Time Has Come - Anne Briggs album - was created in 1971.
Normally smoking is caused by piston rings wearing out, it needs an oil change, or is overfilled and sucking oil into the carb.
Usually these smaller engine dont use fuel filters. If there is one though it will be located on the hose that goes from under the gas tank before it gets to the carb. They come in various version. Usually they look like a disk looking thing with a hose going into it and another hose going from it to the carb. Just remove the hose clamps and replce it or blow it out. It depends on the type it is. Good luck.
For most Briggs and Stratton engines the charging system is under the flywheel. You will have to remove all the shields that cover the top of the engine and the flywheel and then remove the flywheel itself. Once the flywheel is off the stator is exposed. Depending on what model you have there will be a series of screws that hold it to the block. Just unplug the wire connector and remove the screws and it will come off with a little wiggling. Make sure that all the magnets on the bottom side of the flywheel are in place and secure or replacing the stator will not do you any good.
