hI,
I'm hoping for a bit of help with my Briggs and straton 35 classic.
It has always run like a dream until recently.
I pull the starter and it gives me a couple of strokes then cuts out. I have cleaned the spark plug and the air filter.
Any ideas or solutions would be great

Hi, I've a similar question. My Briggs Stratton Classic 35 is running rough - always has been since I hit a huge stone in the lawn a few years back. Had to replace the collar that holds the blade on. Incidentally, I put the stone there, so it's my fault.

Anyway, it's running more & more rough so I reckon it needs fixing - hopefully it'll last the season & I can fix it in the winter. NB I do a plug & oil change every second year. A friend told me to just clean the carburettor. I'm no mechanic so I fear I'd need a book about mowers if I wasn't to do more damage when trying to fix it. And yes, it has a rubber primer button.

All suggestions for what I might do much appreciated!

OK here goes ;-

Easy job ;-

1) Remove air filter
2) Remove 2 bolts securing carb/tank assy to engine. One at front of engine,
and one just in front of the tank filler. On non-electrc start engines there
wll be a spacer - don't lose it.
3) Manoever the whole assy off the engine, unhooking the throttle from the
govenor vane as you go.
4) Unscrew the carb from the tank (5 or 6 screws, depending on the model.
Seperate the carb and tank.
5) CLEAN the tank surface. Place the new gasket and diaphragm in position on
the inverted carb, making sure that the fuel pump spring and cup are in
position.
6) Position the tank on the carb. turn the whole assy right side up and
insert the screws. Tighten them evenly. Don't overdo it - the carb is
plastic.
7) Install the assy onto the engine, making sure that you hook up the
throttle lnk as you go. DON'T twist the govenor spring - check that the
throttle moves freely. If it does not, FIX IT NOW - otherwise the engine
will attain some really impressive RPM's before self-destructimg. Most likly
cause of problems is a twisted spring.
8) Re-fuel, and check that the primer squirts fuel into the engine (you can
see it by looking down the air intake). If OK, fit air filter and test. If
not, either the diaphragm was damaged during fitting, or there is a stuck
check valve in the carb. If a sharp tap on the carb body doesn't fix it, a
replacement carb will be needed (not likely, but possible).

Let me know how you get on!

Manual not required - easy repair. Does it have a primer start? Reply here and I'll describe the process.
