dhd thank you for the reply. I am so happy for you.

Compressed air is a great idea I will use it thanks. The lawn is done and the new kill switch is on the way.

My b&s 450e is back to fun and games again. Runs a minute then cuts off. By coincidence after a rinse off including taking the top cover off I started the mower and full power no cutoff. Had to shut down and now the bail does not shut off the engine, possibly some 409 on there. Started it...

Hello all. Watching a lot of lawn mower videos and notice guys using a hydralic table thingie to raise a light push mower off the floor. The idea is to raise the mower up to a height where work on them is practical. Who sells these things? Thanks for reply.

Holy smokes! You are right! The spring had come loose. All I had to do was reattach the spring and full power again! Thank you thank you thank you. https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/5AEAAeSwr9dp5sI0/s-l1600.webp

the linkage at the carburator. old photo I will pull the cover off and see if something is blocking the device.

certainly sounds possible. I will get some easier checks out of the way and see if I can pull off that flywheel. I did source a woodruff key (it is actually a rectangle.)

thank you for your reply. It's a briggs and stration 80000 450e very basic push mower model number 08p502-0064-f1. Today I plan to examine the spark plug for fouling and maybe replace it anyway. The additives were burned off I will try new fuel. I will report back the results. Oil level...

Hello all. Some of you remember my posts on the Weedeater push mower that kept cutting off. and now the latest. I have been getting good results running ethanol blend fuel and running the mower dry. Today I started the mower and when it ran into a shallow depression it stalled out. Since...

Great news! I was able to start the mower and it ran as long as I wanted it to. The primer bulb was stronger so I think that helped to prime the engine. After start up I rocked the mower holding the handle bar about 60 to 100 times. After warming up the engine ran, poping and spiting and...

When I switched to TruFuel, initially the mower would start, I would see a smooth drop in performance, then a recovery to full power. After a while, had to rock the mower to keep it from stalling, then it would cut out when it hit some thick grass. If the mower had become sufficiently hot, the...

I think you mean the shuroff cable? Yeah that happened to me. I purchased two cables and have never had that problem again.

I replaced the carb with a brand new one and still have the same problem. I will consider the marine conditioner thanks. I always use the highest octane I can get. Will probably go back to Sunoco 93 Octane. I checked the tank carefully, if there is a screen I cannot get at it. I drained the...

The problem started in the early fall. I changed the carb with a new one. Same problem. This does not mean the carb is not dirty just the same problem. I watched a you tube video last night the mechanic claimed the spark plug ceramic was cracked. He replaced the plug and the mower worked fine.

I used a business card to time the magneto and it worked fine for a couple years but I have an auto spark plug gap tester as well. Use it on the spark plug. Nothing says torch on it. Probably

thanks that is what I plan to do. Buy small quantities at a time too.

I did not see a filter unless it is hidden somewhere in the fuel tank. I changed the oil and installed a new bale cable (that caused that problem before on this mower.) Started it up again and it ran stronger and longer then shut off again. Starting with the fuel cap off did nothing. I am...

It is the curved type for the 450E engine that attaches on each end and a 5 inch 6/16 diameter hose runs forward to the carb. I pulled the fuel hose off and nothing inside and when the fuel drained it had a great flow.

Thank you. ILENGINE Good explanation of what the primer bulb does. So I guess a little is being pulled into the carburator by the primer bulb but after that is burned no more gets into the carburator. I did replace the fuel with a fresh unopened can of True Fuel 4 cycle which is what I...

Hello all. First the stats you ask for. Weedeater push mower pull start basic budget homeowner mower. Briggs and Stratton 80000 450E engine. Owned 8 years. Symptom: Press prime bulb a few times. Engine roars to life after a few pulls. About 20 seconds later it quits. When I prime the engine...

Hello. New member here. I have a Weed Eater push mower with a Briggs & Stratton Engine. My control cable has obviously stretched. The brake barely clears and the stop switch does not clear the ground. I think it is time to buy a new cable. Do I go to Weedeater or Briggs for the cable...
