There is some info that you raised that I did not realise considering this is a very consumer grade machine i.e. Not overly complicated. I apologise, I was clearly ignorant to there being a technician manual for this engine and that members here would have access to see those. You live and...

This seems like a Briggs and Stratton issue and their "manuals". I went on their website, I typed in the model information that is stamped on the mower, I then got back the manual I posted. That's all Briggs and Stratton provide, I'm afraid. I even have the manual that came with the mower which...

Who even suggested, that either myself or this guy on the video was smarter than you? I think you'll find that you made that up all by yourself. I frankly don't care how many years of experience you have, does it mean you know everything there is to know about every type of engine? You know...

Do you know what's really funny @Rivets, this guys video actually just fixed my issue and my lawn mower starts. It was the valve clearances that were out of spec, in fact there was zero clearance and tight. I have adjusted as per the specs that he found out which is between .004 - .008in. Don't...

Hi @Rivets, I have actually posted and even given a link to the manual of the engine. Here is a YT video of the exact engine and is quite a detailed maintenance video of how it operates -

Hi @bertsmobile1, the way this lawnmower works is you put the throttle in the open position (i.e. full throttle), prime it and then pull the starter. I had a look at all the linkage mechanism and it seems that all the tolerances are in check. When the in open throttle position the butterfly in...

Yeah the engine is a piece of :poop:. Never want to purchase a Briggs and Stratton made engine again. Mine is with a cable controlled choke.

Thanks! You were right about the 60 ft-lb. When undoing the nut it released around the 60 ft-lb mark. So I checked the key and she is perfect. No signs whatsoever of damage. I am at a real loss to the issue. To recap I have done the following: 1. replaced armature (since taking off the...

High @StarTech, appreciate your response. Yes, a push mower with a small engine, only 140cc. Here is the link to the manual, this is according to the details printed on the engine (Model: 90000) - https://bsintek.basco.com/BriggsDocumentDisplay/default.aspx?filename=ngjxDEW9p8ZVj5K1w Yes, the...

I don't believe my mower has an auto choke. It has a throttle control. I checked to see if it opens fully and closes when moved to full throttle and closed throttle.

Hi @bertsmobile1, thanks for getting back to me. Which part on the engine is the auto choke mechanism?

Thank you for your response. Will give the diagnosis another go, but your pointers were helpful. Will report back with my findings.

Hi Team, I have a B&S 500e powered lawn mower. I have only had this thing a couple of years or there abouts, so not very old at all. I went to start it a couple of weeks ago and couldn't get it going. Been sat in the shed a few weeks prior and was working fine. Have noticed a few months back...
