    Mower cutting out

    I've got an older Craftsman mower that's been running great until a couple weeks ago. It's starting to stutter and cut off after it gets hot. I've checked the carb and fuel filter and no change. Any ideas? Thanks.

    Engine Help!!

    Well I synchronized the crankshaft and camshaft via this pic from B&S.. is there something else? I must admit I've been out of the home repair biz for quit sometime. I am mechanical but not educated and my brain gets in the way at times.

    Engine Help!!

    I have a 2009 Yardman 12.5 hp mower. The piston connecting rod went out. Ordered the parts needed off the B&S site. Replaced the rod, set timing on valves, but, cannot get it to crank. It turns over strong, just won't fire. I get a "poof" out of carb about every 10-15 rotations. Any Ideas?
