How to Repair Briggs and Stratton Engines

Dempsey delivers an updated, practical, step-by-step guide to repairing Briggs & Stratton engines, which power a wide variety of lawn mowers, garden tools, go-karts, air compressors, and other light utility units. This edition includes the latest information on both new and old engines, as well as a new section on engine components and types. Since the latest edition of this book was published in 1984, Briggs & Stratton has phased out conventional ignition systems and added two new engine lines. Both of these receive attention, as do phased-out models for those operating older machines. There is comprehensive information here about torque specifications, running clearances, emissions control, and part numbers of redesigned and updated components that can be retrofitted on older engines.
