Hello All - A friend moved south and gave me this beautiful, hardly used unit. It has never run quite right. The rpm would surge up and down and it would only run on choke. I removed carb and cleaned everything. Still the same thing. I replaced with a new carb, plug, and fuel line. It runs...

Picked up a Simplicity Broadmoor 1692416 free from the neighbor. Has spark and fuel. Turning the key does not turn over the mower. If I jump hot side of battery to hot lead on starter it will turn over and produce spark but won't start. Am I on the right track to be looking at the solenoid...

Simplicity Broadmoor 1693600 with Briggs Vanguard 18 V-Twin 350777. 553 hours. Parked the mower last week, running fine. No start today. Have fuel, but only spark from 1 cylinder for 3-4 seconds while cranking then no spark. Battery 100%. Now starter does not move. There is a click behind the...

Thank you again to all of you who helped me through my no-start problem that was finally solved as a bad fuel solenoid. Briggs 350777 Vanguard 18hp. Runs strong, but a LOT of oil running out of the air cleaner. So much that it is dripping on the exhaust. I'm frustrated because I just put all...

Briggs 350777 Replaced plugs, coils, adjusted valves. Have to turn it over for 20-30 seconds to get it to start. Once started runs fantastic. What am I missing? Some kind of fuel problem? Replaced fuel pump a couple of years ago.

I'm replacing the coils on a Vanguard 350777, 18HP. I can't get on the coil bolts with a socket because the flywheel is in the way. Use a 5/16 box wrench? Thank you!

I need some help with the proper adjustment of the 50" deck on my Broadmoor. Grass comes out the regular exit, but I get a LOT out of the front. What am I doing wrong?

18 HP Broadmoor. Heard something flopping around today, and noticed that the drive belt is loose. Is there an adjustment for that? When I replaced it a couple of years ago, I used the Simplicity OE belt.

Have a bad coil on 350777-1152. Anyone know the replacement part number? When I look online, several are suggested. Many thanks -

I have a Simplicity Turbo collection blower 1694304. For the life of me, I cannot find the number for the replacement belt. Does anyone have the Simplicity number or dimensions?

My Father-In-Law's single stage snowblower (Engine 12D105-0010-F8) starts on one pull and runs great with very slight choke. Normally, my brother-in-law runs the machine. Last weekend I used it. When engaging the auger the machine will backfire and lose power momentarily. Same thing happens...

Hello All - Please help. Replaced the drive belt on my Simplicity 1693600 Broadmoor. 18 Briggs V-Twin. PTO is locking up and smoking! What happened? Do I need to replace? Many thanks - Bill

Has anyone tried one of these? I have to pick up a snowblower with electric start for my Father-In-Law. How does this one compare to the Toro and Honda?

I have an 18 hp Vanguard 350777 on my Simplicity Broadmoor. Oil is leaking from the back of the engine and down onto the deck. Where should I look first, and is this common on these? 366 hours. Many thanks - Upon further inspection, it may be coming from under the fill tube?

Hello All - Newbie here. I am active on other forums, especially the Vintage Mustang Forum. Love working on old Simplicity mowers and snowblowers. Simplicity Broadmoor 1693600 - 18 HP, 50" deck. I ordered a new headlight assembly, as the one on the mower has fallen apart. How is the new on...
