I had a non sparking B&S engine turned out it was sparking but the plug was cr@p, have you tried for a spark with out a plug in ? There's an interesting bit in the manual about laying your engine up for winter etc, I did it by the book last year and had no problems this  :D

Yeah get rid of any old fuel it don't keep well, but if there's no spark then it's something else.

Norlett Rotovator
« Reply #11 on: April 03, 2008, 19:07 »
Hi,

I have recently purchased a Norlett rotovator that's in need of a little TLC.  It has a 3HP B&S engine which I am trying to get running at the moment.

I am trying to find out which model Norlett it is and whether anyone out there has a manual for the machine.  

On one handle it has what looks like a brake lever and on the other what appears to be a throttle control, but as I have never has it running I am not sure what they do.

Also thinking about putting a 5hp replacement engine on if I don't manage to get it working, does anyone know if this is possible?

Thanks,

*
