EQUIPMENT PROBLEMS AFFECTING ENGINE OPERATION
Frequently, what appears to be an engine problem
may be the fault of the equipment powered rather
than the engine itself. Since many types of equipment
are powered by Briggs & Stratton engines, it is
impossible to list all the conditions that can exist.
Listed below are some common equipment
problems, and what to look for as the probable cause.
Hard Starting or Will Not Start
1. Loose belt or blade – a loose belt or blade can
cause a backlash effect that will counteract
engine cranking effort.
2. Starting under load – be sure the unit is
disengaged when engine is started; if the unit
remains engaged, it should not have a heavy
load when starting.
3. Check remote control assembly for proper
adjustment.
4. Check interlock system for shorted wires, loose
or corroded connections, or defective modules
or switches.
Engine Will Not Stop
1. Check equipment ignition stop switch.
2. Check for loose or disconnected equipment stop
switch wire.
3. Check ground wire harness (current style) or
ground terminal (early style) on engine. See test
procedure.
Vibration
1. Cutter blade bent or out of balance – remove and
balance.
2. Mounting bolts loose – tighten bolts.
Power Loss
1. Bind or drag in unit – If possible, disengage
engine. Operate unit manually to check for
binding.
2. Grass cuttings built-up under deck.
3. No lubrication in transmission or gear box.
4. Excessive drive belt tension may cause seizure.
Noise
1. Cutter blade coupling or pulley – an oversize or
worn coupling can result in knocking, usually
under acceleration. Check for fit or tightness.
2. No lubricant in transmission or gear box.
