ENGINE AND ENGINE PARTS
We recommend that you see an authorized Briggs & Stratton Service Dealer for all maintenance and service of the engine
and engine parts. Use only genuine Briggs & Stratton parts.
WARNING
WARNING
SPARK PLUG:
Use only Briggs & Stratton Spark Tester
(part number 19368) to check for spark.
Note:
In some areas, local law requires using resistor spark
plug to suppress ignition signals. If this engine was originally
equipped with resistor spark plug, use same type for
replacement.
RESISTOR P/N 499608
MUFFLER
WARNING
If muffler is equipped with spark arrester screen, remove
screen for inspection. Replace screen if damaged or
plugged.
FUEL SYSTEM
WARNING
If you perform any maintenance on the engine, first disconnect the spark plug wire
from the spark plug, and disconnect the battery at the negative terminal (electric
starter engines only) to prevent unintentional sparking. Unintentional sparking can
result in fire or electric shock. Unintentional start-up can result in entanglement,
traumatic amputation or laceration. Use only correct tools.
• Do not strike the flywheel with a hammer or hard object because the flywheel may
later shatter during operation.
• Do not tamper with governor spring, links or other parts to increase engine speed.

WIRE GAGE
Replacement parts for the
muffler must be the same and
installed in the same position
as the original parts, other-
wise fire can occur.
Replacement parts for fuel
system (cap, hoses, tanks,
filters, etc.) must be the same
as original parts, otherwise
fire can occur.
REPLACE IN-LINE FUEL FILTER (if equipped)
[1] Disconnect spark plug wire and keep away from
spark plug.
[2] Drain fuel tank or close fuel shut-off valve before
replacing fuel filter. Otherwise, fuel can leak out,
creating a fire/explosion hazard.
AIR COOLING SYSTEM
Over time debris may accumulate in cylinder cooling fins
and cannot be observed without partial engine disassem-
bly. We recommend that you have an authorized Briggs &
Stratton Service Dealer clean the air cooling system per
recommended intervals. Equally important is to keep top of
engine free from debris. See cleaning debris below.
VALVE CLEARANCE
Check valve clearance yearly. (See Tune-up Specifications
on page 6.)
