6.5 Briggs and Stratton stops when mowing on a slope?

Some Brigg's and Stratten motors have an oil level switch. When you go on a slope if it is really steep the oil level switch will think there is no oil in the motor so it will shut off. If you have that steep of lawn your best bet is to get a lawnboy lawnmower because they don't have that problem - they use mixed fuel.


Why does your lawn mower shut down when the blades are engaged and you put it in reverse?

I have a 2003 Cub Cadet 1525. This model is designed to shut off the cutting deck when the tractor is put into reverse. Not sure what model you have but my guess is that it's just a safety precation like the Cub.


Why does a Briggs and Stratton 5.5 HP lawn mower engine stop after fifteen minutes after it starts Will restart after re priming?

It could be a couple of things. I would check and make sure the oil is filled. Some engines have low oil shutdown that will shut it down if the oil is too low. Make sure there is no water in the gas too. A little water could stall the engine. Check the spark plug and spark plug wire. A short or misfire may be enough to shut it down. Beyond that, I recommend a good repair shop.

Can a Briggs and stratton self-propelled lawn mower be pulled backwards even with the engine shut off?

I've never owned a self-propelled mower, but I would think there would be a lever to engage the wheels for self-propulsion. If the lever is in neutral. I would think you would be able to pull the mower backwards on all four wheels. If there is no lever and the mower is self-propelled at all times, you would have to raise the wheels that are propelled in order to pull the mower backwards.


Crftsman 18.5hp runs but stallsload whycraftsman riding mower with Briggs and stratton 18.5horse power engine stalls when cluch released why?

This is typically caused by a bad seat safety switch. The safety switches are setup so that if the rider falls off the mower it will shut down. That way the rider does not get run over. So, if it senses that there is no one on the seat it will shut down when engaged.
