Questions and answers
I can't find the oil drain plug. No one else can. Where is it
The oil drain plug on a Briggs & Stratton 500 Series engine is located beneath the cutter deck beside the main crankshaft (blade shaft). It is a square recessed drain bolt that fits a 3/8" square socket extension bar.

primer sounds like air
The primer on a Briggs & Stratton 500 Series engine may sound like air if there is not at least a third of a tank of fresh petrol, if the fuel system has air pockets, or if the rubber primer bulb is damaged (e.g., chewed by mice). These issues prevent proper fuel flow, causing the primer to push air instead of fuel.
