Mend Briggs & Stratton Mower Engine

Blown head gasket?

I have a SEARS Craftman 6.25 Mower with a Briggs & Stratton engine. It is very difficult to start ( usually about 50 pulls). I took it to a repair shop and they said it has very low compression and believe the head gasket needs replaced. Do you have a manual on how to replace the gasket. Thanks.

Briggs service manuals are not free downloads - but you CAN buy a service manual for ALL Briggs engines from about 1912 on. Amazon carry them in stock, or you can purchase from Briggs direct.
