New to the game. Can I still use my mower like this? Or will I mess up the engine ?

Thanks

I moved your thread to the General Mower Discussion Forum. :smile:

My advice: Do not pass goal, do not start engine, do not have to replace heads and valve gear. Get new shroud . Its fit around the fan is all that is between your briggs and a barbeque.

I wouldn't worry about running it. Just make sure it can breathe.

Just checking: this is your landlord's mower, correct? Maybe check with him/her to see about proper maintenance; wouldn't want you to get slapped with a fee for failing to properly maintain it.

My mower can't mow continuously without having to use the break as a clutch. The blade sounds like it's about to fall off and has a hard time cutting my grass. The is always on the verge of stalling out.

The mower is a Craftsman ridding mower and the engine is a Briggs and Stratton.
