What can be the cause of backfiring in 19 hp Briggs and Stratton Lawn mower?
Q. I drained the gas tank, cleaned the float bowl out, and put fresh gas in it. It seemed to help a little bit, but still pops every once in a while. And I put some Gas Line antifreeze (to take water out of gas) and it seemed to help a little more, but I still get the popping from the exhaust.
Asked by jakeboy83 - Sun Aug 26 16:31:11 2007 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments
A. It can be caused by too much fuel. You may want to remove the carburetor and clean it properly. Put it back together with a rebuild kit. Another thing could be that the exhaust valve is not closing completly all the time. This can be due to a burned valve, valve out of adjustment(too tight) or carbon build up on the stem. The carbon build up could be caused by the carb needing cleaning and making the engine run too rich.

Where can I order bolts for a muffler on a briggs and stratton lawn mower?
Q. I have tried sears and they keep sending out double washers that are non-refundable. I just need the two bolts (screws) that hold the silver muffler onto my push mowers engine. My mower is only 3 years old so I know other people have had this problem because the bolts constantly needed to be retightened and after one backed out and disappeared the other is now stripped and I can't cut my grass because the muffler has no way of attaching to the engine. My mower model # is 917.388541. I've done a search on this model number and have had no luck as well. It's like it's the only one every made!!! Can someone please help me???

A. If you had ordered the whole new muffler it would have come with the bolts. It's just a muffler on a briggs and stratton (or a Tecumseh, or Honda, or Kohler) you don't have to buy those parts from Sears. You can more easily find the solution to your problem by going to a local dealer that sells and services lawn equipment. Alternately, just take your stripped bolt to a hardware store and buy two new bolts there. Hopefully the threads in the motor aren't stripped, or you'll have to fix that, and I'd bet that even that is beyond your ability, so your probably best of taking the whole discount mower to a professional to correct your problem properly.

A. A B&S Classic 35 is a petrol 4 stroke engine and one that is used as standard in many lawnmowers, generators and pumps. Because it's a 4 stroke, whatever you do, don't add oil to the petrol - it is NOT a 2 stroke engine.

Briggs and Stratton lawn mower help?
Q. Hey, I have a Briggs and Stratton 375 Sprint lawn mower, and I've been having a bit of trouble with it. Basically, after about an hour of usage, it overheats and turns off, and if I start the motor again, after about 5 minutes it stops working again. Once the mower shuts down, a fair bit of smoke comes from the carburettor. I've checked the fuel, that's fine. There's enough oil in the engine (if I need to replace it, do you need to get special lawn mower oil?). And I've had the mower serviced by a mechanic, and he didn't find anything wrong with it. So, long story short the mower starts, overheats, stops, spills smoke, starts, overheats, stops, spills smoke etc, etc. Any ideas on how to fix it?
