Recently replaced B&S 6hp engine,
Issue when I pull the rope it literally will kick
back an feels like fingers thrown off my hand

Sometimes 5-6 normal pulls then the kick back

Is this an engine issue or did my installer pick the wrong
Pulley or set up for my 5 ton log splitter
The engine wii eventually start.
New style engine to me no choke?

So not sure if installer chose wrong engine
Or I got the engine from the devil

How about supplying is with the model numbers from the engine so we can see what you are dealing with. Could be several variables involved so knowing basic information can speed up finding out the issue.

Maybe replaced a heavy flywheel engine with a standard lightweight type engine. Is this a vertical engine?

I was thinking the same thing which is the reason I asked for the model number, because that could only be one of the possible issues.

That looks like the engine serial number. What I am looking for will be in the format of xxxxxx xxxx-xx and then next to it will be 18030658 . The numbers I am looking for will be stamped in to the valve cover, or could be stamped into the side of the block. or there are a couple of other locations, but they will be stamped numbers.


I suspect that the new engine is set up for push mower type applications which have an aluminum lightweight flywheel. Whereas the engine that you need and what was probably on your splitter was the heavy cast iron flywheel. Some of those engines can be switched to the heavy flywheel easily without having to replace the entire engine.

A photo of the engine would help.
We get both the US & Chinese Briggs down here,
Th Chinese ones have their number electro etched into the crankcase behind the carb or just to the left of the carb and is very hard to find let alone read.
New they have a couple of stickers which you are supposed to remove & stick in your manual and f you don't they fall off the first time the mower is used.
US made engines still have a mechanical stamp
