Mend Briggs & Stratton Pull Cord Start

How can I fix my lawn mower?

How can I fix my lawn mower? I have plenty of oil, and gas in it. When I pull the cord it seems to want to start but there is no ignition. I have a Murry 22" Briggs & Stratton 2 N 1 Combo mulch/discharge power by 4.Ohp Quattro Throttle - Free Design lawn mower.

I have a lawn edger I bought for cheep (the engine hunts). I found someone had stretched the governor spring, how do I get it reset so it will idle smoothly?

Brian,
I own the same mower and I am experiencing a similar problem. I found that the governor idle spring on my mower was broken. I replaced it but the mower continued to surge. I'm taking mine in to a repair shop.

I would start by checking the spark plugs since that causes the ignition. Like a car the Lawn mower needs to have good sparkplugs. It might just be a matter of cleaning them or getting new ones if they are rusted. Also I would check the oil filter too. Another thing that is good to check when you take the mower out after hibernation all winter. Good luck
