Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): 5hp briggs and stratton, briggs and stratton, good shape


Question
I have a 5hp Briggs and stratton go-kart that I flipped the other day, now it will not start. I thought it was flooded so I waited a day and replaced the spark plug. still nothing. I would love some help!

Answer
Do you have spark, probably.  Replace the plug and it will probably solve the problem.

When you flipped it the cylinder probably filled up with oil.

It's also possible you jacked up the kill wire. Make sure it is in good shape.

Any chance the rollover is available on-line.  I love a good crash sequence.
