check your wiring harnes to your starter. make sure it is not connected backwards
You are Supposed to be able to do that easily. Oil the wheels. What is keeping it from moving backwards? Look fer it!
They are still made by AYP, but if you mean when did Briggs & Stratton take over the company and begin factory shut downs; that would be 1996 into 1997.
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.
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.
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.
There could be many reasons why your Sears riding lawn mower won' shut off. The key could be jammed for example.
No. If you run it when the oil is low you run the risk of damaging your engine.AnswerSome lawn mower engines will shut themselves off if the oil runs low, adding oil will allow the engine to restart and continue with out damage. Other engines if they quit due to low oil level are ruined.
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.
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.
Briggs and Stratton Front Tine Tillers may leak fuel due to several reasons, including a damaged or worn fuel line, a faulty fuel shut-off valve, or a defective carburetor gasket. Additionally, loose connections or a cracked fuel tank can also contribute to leaks. Regular maintenance, including checking for cracks and ensuring all connections are tight, can help prevent fuel leaks. If the problem persists, it's advisable to consult a professional for repairs.
Answer Can be a clogged fuel filter, or possibly a fuel pump going bad. Replace the filter and see if this fixes the problem. Also, be sure the fuel tank is properly vented and/or the vent in the fuel cap is not plugged with dirt.
The carburetor float may be stuck in the open position and allowing fuel to seep through the carburetor into the intake and into the cylinder. The needle may also not be seating correctly , check the float the check to make sure the needle is seated properly.
