Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): Cleaning fuel line / tank - Procecure, briggs stratton, hp briggs
QuestionI'm using a Lawn Chief push lawnmower - that is probably 10 years old. It suddenly stopped while mowing and I cannot start it. I think the fuel line may be plugged. Where can I get information about the procedure to follow to remove tank / line for cleaning? I don't have a diagram and guess I'll just start up-bolting tank and carburator. (?) Can you direct me to a procedure to follow? It's a 3.5 HP Briggs & Stratton Model 81 size 21 engine, if that helps.
Thanks in advance for any help.
AnswerDENNIS, BEFORE I WENT TO THIS LABOR I WOULD FIRST TAKE THE CAP OFF AND WITH A LIGHT TAKE A LOOK INSIDE. IF IT IS THAT DIRTY THEN YOU SHOULD SEE THE DIRT IN THERE BY GOLLY. I DON'T THINK THE FUEL LINE IS PLUGGED AS THERE IS A STRAINER
TO PREVENT THAT. IT MUST BE SOMETHING ELSE. TAKE A LOOK AT THE SPARK PLUG.
LET ME KNOW,
