Something completely non-military
Anyone with experience in Briggs and Stratton small engines?
I've just been given a small ride-on mower with a Briggs IC 5 HP motor in non-running condition. On removing the spark plug I noticed the electrode had been hammered sideways. It looks like someone has fitted an incorrect plug with a longer reach and this has been clobbered by the inlet valve. As there's not a lot of compression (and there is spark) I think the inlet valve has been bent. After fitting a correct plug the only firing I've been able to get is a little pop through the carburettor. Is this a reasonable diagnosis? My original ride-on with a 12 hp Briggs has "put a leg out of bed".
