Briggs+S lawn mower engine
John Donne
My dad has a B&S rotary lawn mower he has taken the carb off because it was
not running properly
but now cannot remember where the two springs that control the speed should
be fitted on the carb. is anyone familiar with this engine.

Which engine? If it's the Classic 35 I've got one. Two actually.

I wonder if you have any idea how many different engine types Briggs and
Stratton have made over the last 60years.
However as its a rotary and has two governor springs it's quite possibly
like this.

(found after a quick Google)
But note the top spring in this pic is fitted incorrectly
the left hand side of the top spring should attach to the same point as the
lower spring, on the left hand side.
also if the carburetter has been stripped because of poor running, the
diaphragm and gasket between the carb body and fuel tank should be replaced.

I take it that the photo also shows the priming section but without the
rubber bulb. Does anyone know how to stop the priming bulb being sucked in
during use? I can prime the engine ok but run it for a short while and the
bulb gets pulled in. You stop the engine and the bulb eventualy returns to
its normal position but once more gets pulled in with the engine going.
:-(

ah. Then you have a blocked air admittance hole in the fuel filler cover!

unscrew the fuel tank filler cap a few turns when it happens and see if the
primer bulb returns to normal.
(the primer bulb is just out of shot at the bottom of that picture)

Sorry I should have said, I tried that without any luck.

lid had sealed to tank but with it removed it did not make any difference.
I found it odd I could pump the bulb and inject petrol into the throttle
body. (removed airfilter to see). You can pump it 10 or more times and the
bulb return as soon as you remove your finger.
I think I will have no option but strip the carb down and see what is
inside.

Ah, do you think there are two fuel pickups from the tank? I was just
thinking there was one hence I was confused re being able to prime the
engine.

youtube video of what to expect, but�its a good idea to replace the
diaphragm and gasket, they are only few pounds.
