I have a Murray rider model 425014X92B with Briggs 15.5 HP engine model 282H07 built in 2005. I have noticed for about 3 months that when I first engage the starter there is a weird noise. sort of screeching sound. Once it starts the noise ceases and the engine runs fine.
Yesterday I adjusted the valves, cleaned the engine and changed the oil. I know this has nothing to do with the weird noise on start up but it was time to do this service.
Before replacing the top engine cover I checked to see if any flywheel part was contacting any metal around the engine and could find nothing which could cause the sound. The engine runs smooth and quiet from idle to full throttle. the sound is ONLY when starter is first engaged. Once the engine starts the noise is gone.
Hope someone might have a suggestion. I love the Lawn World Forum and the help that everyone seems willing to offer. I will appreciate any assistance and hope everyone is having a great day.
