Hi all,
I have a riding mower with I believe a Briggs and Stratton engine. When I have tried to start it up this spring it is giving a bit of trouble. I can spin the engine by hand. I just removed the cover off the top and spun the wheel. It has a lot of pressure but after I hold some pressure on it it will start to spin. Then after about 1 revolution it comes free. I do hear a little bit of a hissing noise while I'm spinning by hand. Once I have it free I am trying to start it with the battery/ignitions switch. When I try to start it with the battery it will turn about 1 to 2 revolutions and then seize up again. Then the winning noise goes on for a few more seconds like it's some type of pressure relaeasing. Any ideas?
