Update Briggs & Stratton Warranty Claim Well guys, it's now been about 47 days and the warranty claim is still unresolved. Currently, decision to void the warranty, for failure to clean around the fly wheel, is under review. Meanwhile, I checked my files and found an old B&S engine manual from...

Motoman, I fully agree. Attorneys are just like every other profession---there's good ones and bad ones. We'll see what review of my warranty claim brings forth, and go from there. B&S manufactures 1000's of engines, and not one of them is ever started and run at the factory. However, each...

Thanks motoman---I'll try to get the part number, but it may take a while. Meanwhile, I've tried to supply a picture of my old "finger guard" (red one to left), which ran for 20 years. You can see there is a chrome, circular feature which essentially serves as an air filter. So with this type...
