petrol B&S lawnmower starting problem
Hello
I have a 2 yr old Briggs & Stratton petrol lawnmower. I can start it quite readily, but my Wife struggles. It's the power required for the torque that she struggles with. Does anyone know of any aftermarket mechanical spindle that could replace the factory-fitted one? Maybe a modified spindle of some kind? We're in the UK Thanks |

Modify it (the mower, that is) by installing a starter/alternator and battery. -- Bill In Hamptonburgh, NY In the original Orange County. Est. 1683 To email, remove the double zeroes after @ |

Est. 1683 To email, remove the double zeroes after @ No easy solution for your problem, but when looking for a new mower, be aware that many today have compression release. That reduces the compression during cranking to make it easier to pull start. I'd also make sure the wife is doing everything else right, ie priming it correctly and that the spark plug is clean so that it starts with the least amount of pulling possible. Even I get tired of trying to pull start one that is having difficulty starting. |
