Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): 4hp Briggs Starts Only on Starting Fluid, carbuerator, 4 digits
QuestionHi-
Thanks in advance for whatever advice you can provide. I have 2 walk-behind mowers and both are doing the same thing. They will run for a couple seconds with either starting fluid or pushing the 'prime button.' I changed the plug and the gas. Pulled the carbuerator on one and the filter at the end of the feed arm was fine where it goes into the tank.
I got a diaphragm but don't know where it goes; was told you don't have to pull the carbuerator to install but I can't see where it would go otherwise. Any ideas? Thanks!
Answer Hello Ranger:
Send me the Model and Type Numbers Off the Engine, Please. With these I can Locate the Proper Manual and Better Assist you. I can Also Locate a Breakdown/IPL for you to View Online. There are Different Carburetors on Mowers and the Model Numbers will Help me Locate the Type of Carburetor on this Engine. Thanks.

Hi Ranger:
I saw your Post and wanted you to know; I Require the 5 or 6 Digit Model Number and Type Code Off the Engine, Please. The Type Numbers are 4 Digits with a - and 01 or Something like 1842-01. Also I take 10 Questions a Day and for My time Zone(Eastern US) the New Day Starts at 8pm. Thanks.

Hello Ranger:
I Did some Investigating on the Letters and Numbers you Emailed Earlier. They are the Correct Model and Type Numbers. Briggs has Not Released these Breakdown/IPLs for OnlineViewing. They have the Manual Online for Purchase. I Just Ordered One Myself as it Seems I May Require it Before they Allow Online Viewing of it. Go to this Addy http://shop.briggsandstratton.com/BShopProductListingPage.asp?rsvp=0&PARENTID=0&... and Enter the Model Numbers/Letters YBSXS and the Type Numbers 1581 and Click Search. The Next PAge has the Manual for Purchase. I Apploigize for the Confusion. Hope this Helps. I am here if you Require more Assistance. let me know what Happens, Please. Thanks.
Good Luck
