Every other B&S engine I've had starts on the 1st pull (mostly) and runs perfect no matter what for many years but this 3.5 HP doesn't so I took it in and they supposedly tuned it up and cleaned the carb. It starts after about 8pulls but I have to keep messing with the throttle and idle and then...

Where the Heck is this thing? Is ot the piece that has the screw stop on it? It runs great when I gas it but as soon as I let off it sputters out and I cleaned the carb. I also searched but couldn't find what I was looking for. Is there a picture of the piece I need to adjust to be sure? Thanks!

I have a predator 212 that wont stay idling unless i am on the gas. I have cleaned the carb and still have the same problem . what do you guys think?

I have a 6.5 predator that has six months use on it. Today my son and I were riding like we do every day, we had about 3/4 or a mile on the ride and when I let the gas off to take a curve, the engine idled up and down like it was trying to keep going, and stalled. Now I can start it, but at...

Typically what rpm does a stock 2hp-5hp briggs idle at?

Hi, new guy here. I have a Baja mini-Baja with the 5.5 Honda clone engine. I cannot get the bike to idle correctly no matter what I do. The idle is constantly going up and down. The carb is new and the low idle is clean and so is the main jet. Anyone have any ideas I can try? What is the...

Ive been working on this thing like crazy and it won't idle. I've rode it 100 miles and it's responsive no back firing etc. you adjust the idle screw to where it will idle and the clutch is engaging. What do I need to do?

Well my question is about my 6.5HP motor not wanting to stay started after turning the choke off. Just notice this today, and didn't have much time to mess with it atm. But I do know I removed the governor plastic gear from inside the motor when I first got it, which has been probably two years...

Hello all. I have a Briggs and Stratton 6.5hp motor. The model is 122432-0113-E8. A while back I had to replace on of the valves and push rod because the valve got rusted in there. Well, I got that all fixed and put back together, but now I notice that the engine idles good when there is...

I put am putting together an ARCO with a blue greyhound 6.5. I can not get it to idle down to where the clutch is not engaging slightly. It is a Max-torque Clutch. If left on the kick stand it will creep away from you. So far I have attempted to run the engine without the twist throttle...

I have an hs50 with an adjustable carb. It starts up and runs and idles nice but when warmed up, the idle picks up and runs too fast. The acceleration is excellant. Could someone shine some light on this. Could be an air leak? Thanks, John
