Will you please help with a problem with my Briggs and Stratton 5hp engine?
Q. Hello!! I have a 5hp Briggs and Stratton 5hp horizontal engine on my go kart. It starts fine but moments after I start using the go kart the recoil cord gets caught inside the engine and makes a very loud noice till I stop the engine and pull the cord slack out of the engine. How do I stop this? Should I replace the recoil or the cord?

A. Cord may be too long and gets caught up. Pull it out to start but dont release it. Slowly return the cord unitl it begins to get caught up. Cut the cord and retie to the handle.

How can I boost the performance of my Briggs and Stratton 5hp 4-cycle outboard motor?
Q. Already have a "performance" spark plug. Wondering how to safely up the hp. The warranty is up, so I don't care about voiding anything.

A. Get rid of that "performance spark plug" All that will do is give you a little boost before it burns a hole thru the top if the piston. You didn't say how old it was, but get some preimun gas and some quality raceing oil for air cooled engines. Some of these had a fully adjustable carb. So get you idle adjusted so it starts hot every time then go out on smooth water. Adjust the main jet at 3/4 throttle till it peaks, then open it some more till you can just detect a drop in performance. Take the skeg off the lower unit and replace the white grease with something slipperier-black molly or slick 50 grease. Get good at it you will be doing this often.That's as good as they get.

Briggs and Stratton 5hp?
Q. Working on a 1971 B&S engine and having a hard time figuring out how the carb springs hook-up and just how exactly the governor functions in conjunction with the carb springs. The governor assy. is bolted to the magneto and seems to be powered by the air created by the fins in the flywheel. Could someone please help. Pictures would be great, but if not, a good ol' "This is how you do it speech" would work too. Thanks in advance.

A. The trouble is there are a number of different configurations so a model number and serial number would probably be helpful. I broke down and bought a good small engine book and it has paid for its self many times over. They are available at Napa stores and online as well. Check your local library for a repair book too. good luck

What can I do to a 5hp Briggs and Stratton engine to make it run faster?

A. well boring out the pison will be expensive. cheap upgrades Bigger exhaust, lighter flywheel (u can get an aluminium one from a lawnmower) bigger carburator, (u can get one from a bigger salvaged engine 7-8hp) remove the governor (don't over revv it because it will blow up) Expensive upgrades Boring out the piston High lift camshafts (gets in more air & petrol into the combustion chamber) Rotax go kart racing carb- (expensive but thats where u get most of ur power) Milling the heads for better compression. Hook it up to a torque converter or CVT scooter transmission.

How many amps does Craftsman riding lawn tractor 12.5hp Briggs and Stratton I/C Gold engine alternator out?
Q. I have found 3 amps 5 amps 9 amp 10 amps all the way to 16 amps...What is the right amperage?
Asked by Wayne - Fri Nov 20 11:33:33 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. If you are replacing the alternator with something other than the manufacturer's part, the answer to your question is primarily a matter of the charge rate that is acceptable to the battery you have. In general terms, for a small battery of the kind you would most likely have, a charging rate of 2 amps would be ample.

A. Some of those briggs engines are made as cheap as possible. Also a 12 hp engine with a 42" deck is underpowered. This will cause early engine failure. The briggs industrial engines are built better and last longer. It also helps to have a full pressure oil system with a filter. Maintenance is also a big part of the issue. Most people just don't take good care of their lawnmowers. How many do you think change the oil every 25 hrs or even know how many hours are on the engine.

Using one individual blade .010 -.011 thick place either thickness under both feet of the coil. Roll the flywheel till the magnets face the legs of the coil. The magnetic pull will snap the coil down on the feeler gage and flywheel. Secure the coil with a screwdriver with the feeler gage in place Tighten the screws on the coil.

A. First off, the parts are out there. Check local landscape supply and mower dealers, I am sure you will find the parts. I recently found carb rebuild kit for (I think) late 70's toro riding mower, at a mom and pop mower dealer and supply store, and those stores always have tons of old parts in stock( sometimes thats all they have lol). Dont be a cheapskate and risk blowing yourself up, find the parts. Usually, when an exact replacement isnt available, there is a part close enough that can be substituted. A good store wont mind opening up a few and finding a close match. Good Luck

A. Its called Hunting and Surging. It has one of 2 causes. 1.) Air filter is clogged 2.) fuel supply restriction. The engine trys to go higher in speed and air or fuel is restricted, to the machine slows down. The resulting slowing increases the supply of air or fuel, causing the machine to speed up. And then it keeps going in a vicious circle, till something changes (throttle, load). Best solution is to clean the carb again, and change the fuel filter if it has one.
