Briggs & Stratton Briggs & Stratton 18.5 Garden Tools, Lawn Mowers Lawn Mower Repair Briggs

Common fault on these single cylinder engines is for the spring to snap on cam lobe so that it doesn't decompress on compression stroke. Need to replace the whole cam gear which comes as an assembly if this is the case.
