If you are running an BRIGGS & STRATTON INTEK OHV and it is hard to start this is a common problem the latest tip from b&s is to adjust the spark plug gap back to 16 thou.
This is a tip the mower shop will not tell you.
When I use the word you I don't mean any one personally :laughing:

I stopped using Briggs & Stratton because I found them hard to start. If I ever get another one I will do that.

The only "Briggs" engine I would ever consider running would be a Briggs Vanguard 31''HP Turbo Diesel................Key start running a 72" deck :D

That is because Briggs Vanguard aren't made by Briggs. Not sure about the turbo diesel but the petrol engines are made by Mitsubishi.

Yeh .......I know.

I wouldn't touch a straton with a bage poll.



BTW: Daihatsu make the L/C Diesels.

I've got a rover 6.5 briggs intek, nearly 3000 hrs no problems.

Regular servicing is the key to longevity.

And a bit of good luck :laughing: :laughing:
