BRIGGS & STRATTON SMALL ENGINES TEXT

BOOK PART #CE8020
A comprehensive hard cover textbook titled Small
Engines was recently published by American Technical
Publication of Homewood, Illinois. The text was
authored by R. Bruce Radcliff, Former Customer
Education Director for Briggs & Stratton. This entirely
new book is authorized by Briggs & Stratton, the
worlds largest manufacturer of small air cooled
engines.
In addition to covering all aspects of small engine
theory, the subjects of shop safety, tools,
troubleshooting and engine emissions are featured.
The book contains 12 chapters covering the basic
principles of small engine operation and service
through engine theory to electricity and failure analysis.
The book goes far beyond the procedures in the repair
manual to present the Why in engine design features
and operation fundamentals.
Included are current high priority topics such as engine
oil, reformulated fuels, engine emissions as well as the
latest information on engine application.
Fully illustrated, using computer generated line art and
photographs, each topic is covered in easy to
understand terms and four color illustrations.
This should be a standard reference book for all small
engine repair facilities, vocational schools and
consumers.
Small Engines is available through any Briggs &
Stratton source of supply.

In the Interest of Safety

This safety alert symbol indicates that this
message involves personal safety. The
words danger, warning and caution
indicate degree of hazard. Death, personal
injury and/or property damage may occur
unless instructions are followed carefully.

You are not ready to operate this engine if

you have not read and understood the
following safety items. Read the entire
owners manual and the operating
instructions of the equipment this engine
powers.

The Briggs & Stratton engine is made of the finest material in a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility. Please understand that Briggs
& Stratton sells engines to original equipment manufacturers. It also sells to others in the distribution chain who may sell to the
ultimate consumer, an equipment manufacturer, another distributor or a dealer. As a result, Briggs & Stratton does not necessarily
know the application on which the engine will be placed. For that reason, carefully read and understand the operating instructions of
the equipment before you repair or operate it.
You should also understand that there are equipment applications for which Briggs & Stratton does not approve the use of its engines. Briggs & Stratton engines are not to be used on vehicles with less than 4 wheels. They include motor bikes, aircraft products
and All Terrain Vehicles. Moreover, Briggs & Stratton does not approve of its engines being used in competitive events. FOR THAT
REASON, BRIGGS & STRATTON ENGINES ARE NOT AUTHORIZED FOR ANY OF THESE APPLICATIONS. Failure to follow
this warning could result in death, serious injury (including paralysis) or property damage.

DO NOT run engine in an enclosed area.

(Exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide,
an odorless and deadly poison.)
DO NOT remove fuel tank cap nor fill fuel
tank while engine is hot or running. (Allow
engine to cool 2 minutes before refueling.)
DO NOT place hands or feet near moving or rotating
parts.
DO NOT store, spill, or use gasoline near an open
flame, nor near an appliance like a stove, furnace, or
water heater that uses a pilot light or can create a
spark.
DO NOT refuel indoors or in an unventilated area.
DO NOT operate or tip engine/equipment at such a severe angle that causes gasoline spillage.
DO NOT operate engine if gasoline is spilled or when
smell of gasoline is present or other explosive conditions exist. (Move equipment away from spill and avoid
any ignition until gasoline has evaporated.)
DO NOT transport engine with fuel in tank or fuel shutoff valve open.
DO NOT choke carburetor to stop engine, especially in
an enclosed vehicle. (Whenever possible, gradually
reduce engine speed before stopping.)
DO NOT tamper with governor springs, links or other
parts to increase engine speed. (Run engine at speed
set for equipment manufacturer.)
DO NOT check for spark with spark plug removed.
(Use an approved tester.)

DO NOT run engine without blower housing or other

safety shields removed when doing repairs.
DO NOT crank engine with spark plug removed. (If engine is flooded, place throttle in FAST and crank until
engine starts.)
DO NOT strike flywheel with a hammer or hard object as
this may cause flywheel to shatter in operation. (To remove flywheel, use Briggs & Stratton approved tools and
procedures only.)
DO NOT operate engine without a muffler. (Inspect periodically and replace if worn or leaking. If engine is
equipped with muffler deflector, inspect periodically and
replace if necessary. Replacement parts must be same
as on original equipment.)
DO NOT operate engine with an accumulation of
grass, leaves or other combustible material in muffler
area.
DO NOT use this engine on any forest covered, brush
covered, or grass covered unimproved land unless a
spark arrester is installed on muffler. The spark arrester must be maintained in working order by the owner
and/or operator. In the State of California the above is
required by law (Section 4442 of the California Public
Resources Code). Other states may have similar laws.
Federal laws apply on federal lands.
DO NOT touch hot muffler, cylinder, or fins which can
cause burns.
DO NOT start engine with air cleaner or air cleaner cover
removed.

4Prior to work, read and understand the section(s) of this manual that pertain to the job. Follow all safety warnings.
4PULL starter cord slowly until resistance is felt. Then pull cord rapidly to avoid kickback and prevent hand or arm injury.
4WEAR suitable eye protection (safety glasses, goggles or face shield) when performing repair procedures.
4 PREVENT ACCIDENTAL STARTING by removing spark
plug wire from spark plug when servicing engine or equipment. Disconnect negative wire from battery terminal if
equipped with electric starting system.
4 REMOVE blower housing periodically and clean engine.
Keep cylinder fins and governor parts free of dirt, grass
and other debris which can affect engine speed.
4 USE fresh gasoline. Stale fuel can gum carburetor and
cause leakage.
4 CHECK fuel lines and fittings frequently for cracks or
leaks. Replace if necessary.

4 USE ONLY Genuine Briggs & Stratton Parts or their

equivalent. The use of replacement parts which are not of
equivalent quality may damage the engine.

WARNING:

The engine exhaust from this product

contains chemicals known to the State
of California to cause cancer, birth
defects, or other reproductive harm.

Fuel and Oil Recommendations

LUBRICATION
FUEL RECOMMENDATIONS

Gasoline

Engine Oil
SAE VISCOSITY GRADES

These engines are certified to operate on unleaded

gasoline. Use clean, fresh, regular unleaded gasoline
with a minimum of 85 octane. Do not mix oil with
gasoline. Fresh fuel prevents gum from forming in fuel
system or on essential carburetor parts. Purchase fuel
in quantity that can be used within 30 days to assure
fuel freshness. We recommend the use of Briggs &
Stratton Gasoline Additive. (See your Authorized
Briggs & Stratton Service Dealer for Part No. 5041 or
the single-use pouch.)
In countries other than U.S.A., leaded gasoline may be
used if it is commercially available and unleaded is
unavailable.
NOTE: Some fuels, called oxygenated or reformulated gasolines, are gasoline blended with
alcohols or ethers. Excessive amounts of
these blends can damage the fuel system
or cause performance problems. Do not
use gasoline containing Methanol. If any
undesirable operating symptoms occur,
use gasoline with a lower percentage of
alcohol or ether.

STARTING TEMPERATURE RANGE ANTICIPATED BEFORE NEXT OIL

CHANGE

**

Air cooled engines run hotter than automotive

engines. Use of non-synthetic multi-viscosity oils
(10W-30, etc.) in ambient temperatures above
40 F (4 C) will result in high oil consumption. If
multi-viscosity oil is used, check oil level more
frequently to prevent engine damage due to lack
of lubrication.
SAE 30 oil, if used below 40 F (4 C), will result in
hard starting and possible engine damage due to
inadequate lubrication.
Note: Synthetic oil meeting ILSAC
GF-2, API certification mark and API
service symbol (shown at left) with SJ/
CF ENERGY CONSERVING or higher, is an acceptable oil at all temperatures. Use of synthetic oil does not alter required oil change intervals.

CHANGE OIL after first 5 hours of operation. Thereafter, change oil monthly or every 50 hours of operation. Change
oil more often if engine is operated under heavy load or in high ambient air temperatures.
During normal operation, partially burned gasoline, small particles of metal from the cylinder walls, pistons, bearings,
combustion deposits, and dust particles from the air will gradually contaminate the oil. If oil is not changed regularly,
these foreign particles can cause increased friction and a grinding action which shortens the life of the engine. Fresh oil
also assists in cooling. Old oil gradually becomes thick and loses its cooling ability as well as its lubricating qualities.

Check Oil Level

Place the warm engine with the dipstick facing up.

Use a support (2), Fig. 1, to level the engine.

NOTE: The engine MUST be level to obtain an
accurate oil level measurement.
Unscrew the dipstick (1), Fig. 1, and wipe it with a rag.
Replace the dipstick, thread the dipstick in completely.
Unscrew the dipstick to check the oil.

Fig. 1

BE SURE OIL LEVEL IS PROPERLY MAINTAINED.

Always fill to dipstick FULL mark (2), Fig. 2.

Fig. 2

Change Crankcase Oil

Remove dipstick, Fig. 1.
Invert the engine to drain oil while the engine is warm.
Fill engine with 2.7 oz. (80 ml.) of new oil.
Replace dipstick.

Cooling System
Grass particles, chaff or dirt can clog the air cooling system. Continued operation with a clogged cooling system can
cause severe overheating and possible engine damage. This should be a regular maintenance operation, performed
yearly. Clean more often if necessary.

Air Cleaner

A properly serviced air cleaner protects internal parts

of the engine from dust particles in the air. If air cleaner
maintenance instructions are not carefully followed,
dirt and dust that should be collected in the air cleaner
foam element will be drawn into the engine.
Remove the air cleaner cover (2) and examine the
foam air cleaner element (1) whenever the engine is
serviced Fig. 3. Wash the element if it is dirty. Replace
the foam element if it shows signs of damage.

Fig. 3

Breather Check Valve

With the air cleaner removed inspect the breather
check valve (3), Fig. 4. Remove any obstructions from
the check valve. The check valve should be flexible
and remain closed as shown.

Fig. 4

Spark Plug
Replace spark plugs if electrodes show signs of wear,
or the porcelain is cracked. Set spark plug gap at .022
.028 Inch (.56 .71 mm) as shown, Fig. 5. Torque
spark plugs to 20 Nm (180 in. lbs.).
Briggs & Stratton recommends spark plug number
696876 for the Micro Engine.
Fig. 5

Check-Up
Check Ignition

Most complaints concerning engine operation can be

classified as one or a combination of the following:
1. Will not start
2. Hard starting
3. Kicks back when starting
4. Lack of power
5. Vibration
6. Erratic operation
7. Overheating
8. High oil consumption
When the cause of malfunction is not readily apparent,
perform a check of the compression, ignition and
carburetion systems. This check-up, performed in a
systematic manner, can usually be done in a matter of
minutes. It is the quickest and surest method of
determining the cause of failure and averting future
problems. The basic check-up procedure is the same
for all engine models, while any variation, by model,
will be shown under the subject heading.
NOTE: What appears to be an engine malfunction may be a fault of the powered
equipment rather than the engine. If
equipment is suspect, see Equipment
Affecting Engine Operation.

Check Compression
WARNING: Before checking compression, remove spark plug wire from spark plug and
ground to engine.
A leakdown test is the only accurate method of
checking the sealing ability of the combustion chamber. This test uses compressed air and a leakdown test
tool.
If compression is poor, look for:
1. Loose cylinder head bolts
2. Blown head gasket
3. Burned valves, valve seats
4. Insufficient tappet clearance
5. Warped cylinder head
6. Warped valve stems
7. Worn bore and/or rings
8. Broken connecting rod

WARNING: Do not remove spark plug when

checking ignition.
Connect spark plug wire to long terminal of tester, Tool
#19368 and ground tester to engine with alligator clip.
Operate starter and observe spark gap in tester. If
spark jumps tester gap, you can assume ignition is
good. Try a new spark plug.
If spark does not occur, look for:
1. Improperly operating interlock system (when
equipped)
2. Shorted ground wire (when equipped)
3. Shorted stop switch (when equipped)
4. Armature failure
5. Worn bearings and/or shaft on flywheel side only
NOTE: If engine runs but misses during operation, a quick check to determine if ignition
is at fault can be made by inserting the
#19368 tester between the ignition cable
and the spark plug. A spark miss will be
readily apparent.

Check Carburetion
Before making a carburetion check, be sure the fuel
tank has an ample supply of fresh, clean gasoline.
Inspect the mixture needles per specification. Check to
see that the choke closes completely. If engine will not
start, remove and inspect the spark plug.
If plug is wet, look for:
1. Over choking
2. Excessively rich fuel mixture
3. Water in fuel
If plug is dry, look for:
1. Leaking carburetor mounting gaskets
2. Inoperative pump.
3. Plugged fuel line or filter.
A simple check to determine if the fuel is getting to the
combustion chamber through the carburetor is to
remove the spark plug and pour a small quantity of
gasoline (1 teaspoon or 10 ml.) through the spark
plug hole. Install spark plug. If the engine fires a few
times and then quits, look for the same condition as
for a dry plug.

Check-Up contd
Equipment-Affecting Engine Operation
Frequently, what appears to be a problem with engine operation, such as hard starting, vibration, etc., can be caused
by the equipment being powered rather than the engine itself. Since many varied types of equipment are powered by
Briggs & Stratton engines, it is not possible to list all of the various conditions that may exist. Listed are the most
common effects of equipment problems, and what to look for as the most common cause.

Hard Starting, Kickback, or Will Not Start

1. Loose blade blade must be tight to shaft or adaptor. Check for partially sheared flywheel key, or damaged blade
and hub.
2. Starting under load see if the unit is not engaged when engine is started; if the unit is engaged, that it does not
have a heavy parasitic load.
3. Check choke or speed control assembly for proper adjustment.
4. Check interlock system for shorted wires, loose or corroded connections, or defective modules or switches.

Vibration
1. Cutter blade bent or out of balance remove and balance. Check for partially sheared flywheel key.
2. Crankshaft bent replace.
3. Worn blade coupling replace if coupling allows blade to shift.
4. Mounting bolts loose tighten.

Power Loss
1. Bind or drag in unit if possible, disengage engine and operate unit manually to check for any binding action.

Engine Identification
General Model Series numbers are stamped on the
identification plate (1) located on the bottom of your
engine. To get replacement parts or technical assistance
note your engine Model, Type, and Code.
