is there any way i can find the factory engine settings for it? ois it a matter of service it and then play about with it?

i have 2 important questions to as

can i put redex or something like that in it to clean the fuel system?
can i run a engine flush through it like stp etc?

thanks

i wouldnt bother myself nathan with a engine flush I would just drop the old oil and replace with new.same goes for the fuel system empty tank and fill it up again check the pick up filter clean it or replace and check the fuel pipe for cracks and its not blocked with rubbish,give the carb a blast with carb cleaner.
what do you mean about the factory settings ?

[new_2_veg]

well i was told today to wind the jet in all the way and then back it out 1 and 1/2 turns and then fine tune when running!

but mine is just about all he way out

give it a go and see what happens mate.
is it smoking much ?

[new_2_veg]

it smokes but in puffs but someone told me it would build up and then chuck it out, today it wasnt wanting to do much at all but i think i may have put stale fuel in it (not knowing)

ive for a flush and fuel systen cleaner here thats why i thought i may use it and have a fresh start.

[new_2_veg]

hammer is needed!

right


changed plug, oil, cleaned air filter

ran great then started misfiring again when high revs are on, runs great still on tick over!

someone said there maybe 2 pick up pipes into the tank? one for idle and one for extra fuel when revs are on, doesanyone know if this is true on my engine? if so i will have to order a new inlet gasket and tank -> carb gasket


thanks

:roll: never heard that one afore    . take it to a mower repair man and have him just take a look .. sounds like a little to little air on full throttle   he can tweak it just right for ya  n not charge ya much if ya take him some veggies n a smile

your mis fire is likely to be a build up of "muck" on the pick up filters that are in the fuel tank ( years and years of old fuel being left over winter in the tank). if you are having to wind the mixture screw almost all the way out, that is.
to clean the filters you will have to remove the carb and tank together and then split them. the filters are atttched to the bottom of the carb.
i dont remember if that briggs engine has points. i don't think it has. if the recoil housing says magnetron on it, then it wont have any.
hope this helps.

[new_2_veg]

well i may of found the problem

the threds have gone on the mixture screw thingy

but i cant find a new one anywheere, i need the jet/needle and the holder thing that screws into the engine that the jet adjusts in
