Repairing the Lawn Mower
"Terry Collins" wrote in message ... SNIP Seriously, the best advice I can give someone on mowers is to avoid Briggs & Stratton engines. Now that is probably flamebait to some people as I know some people will not have anything else, but dad loved mowers with Briggs and Straton engines. Good point to raise. I'm only young, but over the time from own use and at work, it seems that they are all much the same. At work I have seen John Deere, Toro and Stihl fail quite quickly, but then on the same note, the same brand has been good. It's interesting when you have 4 or 5 of the same machine and they are treated the same, the differences on failures can be interesting. My father had a similar briggs and stratton to your fathers, the thing about it conking out then failing to start 'till the next day, and after numerous hours of trying to fix it himself, then lotsa $$$ on getting it "fixed" he finally traded it in on a new, wat for it, rover with Briggs and stratton engine. It's been great. A yardman at work has the B&S motor and its lasted a long time, and rough use. My Masport with the B&S starts fine, but the throttle lever has to be held on, or it vibrates back to a low idle. No tinkering has yet fixed it :-( So yeah, I guess everyone has a story to tell with how good or bad these engines are. Me? I'm on the fence with the subject :-) |
