- Craftsman LAWNMOWER WONT START (Briggs 190cc Engine) Diagnostic & Repair /This Could be Your Problem
Customer says the machine ran then ran rough and now wont start again.
Lets find out why.
This could be your fix
Stat with me while I diagnose and repair this machine - Jak na to + styl
I keep my funel in two plastic bags and that keeps it clean year around
Great Idea,,,,gonna pin this!
Don’t watch it and learn how to be a grateful
I have shirts and jumpers like yours too; as Seinfeld said, wear them until they "float away"...
No,, Just before that,, make them into Rags!!! lol
This fixed mine. Thanks! Cable had stretched.
Thankx Scott!! Glad I could help!!
Brilliant tutorial and the ground release just happens to be what's wrong with my Old Trojan. Thank You!
Good,,and I hope your machine as been dutifully returned to service!
Thanks fer watchin
Great info and correct teaching without misinformation! Thank you!😊
Thanx joel!!!!
I just bought a craftsman lawnmower yesterday and did everything possible from cleaning the carburetor replacing spark plug and yes there was spark I even removed the coil and clean it up to cleaning the fuel line and fuel tank and still no start but I didn’t check the cable smh how could I forget that thanks for the tip 👍
Great! Glad it helped and congratts on the machine!! Luv these!
Your video was very helpful. I especially like that you showed how to take the cover and what to test for. Mine was starting intermittently so I have spark so then I suspected the control cable wire was somehow the problem. Your video helped point me in the right direction to test mine out. So now I just have to locate a new cable and hopefully will be good to go. Thanks again for a very informative video!
Thanx Byron,, glad this helped.. It's not easy to condense things down and actually record it with a presentation and I'm still new at this!
U are the man great video and thanks for sharing with us this appreciations 👍🙏🇩🇰
Thanx melvis!!
Great video….in almost all machinery is in metric sizes. If you are still in imperial, get the right tools.
there are a couple of sizes that are concurrent..
Even a cheap set is fine for the occasional repairs! Some people ask what size,, I dont know, who cares,,grab a socket or wrench and find out! lol
My shut off cable was stretched out and I just put a hd tie-wrap around the handle and cable to take up the slack on the cable.. thanks for the tip. running good now.
Great, glad this helped,, now at some point if ya want or it plays up again,,replace the cable and you know what's wrong.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for this video Arch. I just subscribed. Love the tutorial. I have the same exact issue with my mower where the bail/bale cable is binding. Ordered replacement cable and I remain hopeful that this will solve my no spark issue as well. Even if it doesn’t your video has loads of information that I can glean from! Thanks again!
Welcome to the channel 22,,,,
Happy to help
Nice video Arch, that's the way to troubleshoot. 👍
Thanks John,, this was a good one to show the peeps!!
Anytime and yes it was Arch.
Bravo my friend. Please keep the repair videos coming. Excellent video. Thanks for sharing with us.
Thanks, I do appreciate it!!
I'm still learning how to make videos and share!
No problem on the video learning aspect, I understand. New subscriber and I look forward to many more of your videos.
Welcome to the channel!!
I'm working on one just like the one in video..
I use a test light
Nice job. Thanks.
Thanx for watching!
Thx , just found your channel. I subscribed. Great stuff
Welcome Jon!!
Well done ! The B S Q series are the best . Too bad the OHV 's aren't as good .
thanx paule!
Yea the old flat heads are nice but these new engines do have some nice advantages for service!
Nice Arch!!
great video
Thanks!!
Great video, picked up a couple of craftsman machines last week so this will come in handy. I do have a question. When you manually spin the engine for the spark test and previous videos check the compression, what attachment do you use? I would like to purchase it for future troubleshooting purposes. Thanks!
I use a standard socket adapter however I cant recommend this. You need a clutch setup. They do make one but I cant remember what its called.
I really need to make up a "Wish List".
The drill I use has no bolt to hold on the chuck. Sometimes you will hear the drill make noises or actually see the chuck come off.
This is so when the motor starts or worse kicks back it wont break my wrist or slam my hand!
I only use this drill for the engines.
Be careful,,,,,
@@TheNovaJohn thank you! And I would agree. Making a piece of content in which it shows the top tools/wish list you recommend for small engine repairs along with and attached links to buy them would be a great way to educate and start affiliations
Whats on the end of the vice grip fuel hose crimp tool?
How would you compare Super Clean with Purple Power?
That's one of those cheapy & Crappy tools I got years ago, junk really so I put some tape over the teeth. I really should just grind the teeth off cuz its No Good for anything else!
I do like SuperClean,, they may be very similar because both are based on a Sodium (Base = as in base vs acid) which we used to call lye.
They make it in several versions, pressurized spray cans and pump style. The Foamy is nice for those deep turds, they also make a mag wheel cleaner that I would like to try eventually.
I injoy vedio
Thanx Ben

Some of the cables can be adjusted to take up slack or tie a not in cable
I picked up a free Craigslist 190cc 1993 brig's and Stratton lawn mower. I checked for compression it was 55psi. I used spark tester and spark plug light came on when i zip tied open the clutch cable to stay open because the linkage cable is bent, so it's not the coil even though its rusty. I already cleaned the carburetor which had green mold inside the carb which I'm assuming it was not started in a long time and had old fuel. But it still won't start. So then I removed the carburetor and added small amount of fuel directly where the carburetor sits and it was shooting flames and some what chugging which was not doing before but it did not sound like it was running. So im confused was it running if it was shooting flames? Does it need a new carb, sparkplug or is timing misaligned
Hard to say. Compression is a little low,, briggs says 40 is the absolute lowest.
Without a carb on it it wont run when spraying fuel into the intake. It may bark or even run wide open throttle for a minute but its just farting which is a good sign.
You may have sticky rings or valves not closing all the way or maybe even a score in the cylinder.
Get a cheap carb on amazon and try it!
Tighten the head bolts, probably loose around the exhaust valve. You may even have a crack in the head gasket.
nice video!
Thanks Cliff, I'm trying !!
@@TheNovaJohn What kind of cable did you use?
@@Myhopefulfuture wich one? the one I replaced for the drive I picked up on amazon, they are all made in China and about the same quality and price.
Clean --inside and out ! Dirt is the enemy 😁
Sure is,,,,,I always use a filter. This guy & his wife turned out to be a real ass btw, tried to drive away without paying me a dime, he thought I ripped him off. I fixed it that day, he had 3 days to say something about the bill I gave him.
Hi Arch After hitting an obstruction, my Briggs and stratton is not getting any spark. I have checked the key, the cam gear. the kill switch, thecoil and the magneto. What else should I do other than buy a new one ha ha
Put a clean plug on and re-test for spark...
Also disconnect the control/kill wire (ground wire) to the coil and test as well
I temporarily wire kill all the way back and try it before I tare into it
First thing you should have done is check the oil. Over filled will not allow the engine to start. Takes one minute and can save a lot of time if that was the problem from the start.
Not the point of the video..
I've had a number of machines with very high oil levels. Those start, usually the engine is fouled and often the plug as well.
That's a different video and one that I'm kind working on now.
Smoked out the neighborhood lol but it started ok considering.
Yo Unk. Man I've tried everything. Replace carburetor, plug, ignition coil, fuel line, oil change, new gas, still no start. About 2 months ago I pulled the cord and it snatched out of my hand. It lifted and dropped the mower. I unplugged the spark plug and moved the blade by hand to loosen it back up. Has not started since. I looked at the cable and it didn't looked stretched. Last night I removed the motor and I plan to see if the camshaft is broken. Oh i checked the flywheel and timing too. Waiting on the puller to come so I can get the blade adapter off. If not that I'll try the cable. Can it look good but be damaged?
Did you check for spark?. spray fuel or start fluid in the carb ?
@@TheNovaJohn I took the air filter off and sprayed carb cleaner in it and it didn't start. I had ordered a new coil but I used my multimeter and the old one is still read good so I sent the new one back. I don't have a tool to check spark. I'll order one and try it. I've tried about 3 different spark plugs.
@@cbreezy1322 could be the switch is still made, remove the coil kill wire from the switch/cable area and lift it out of the way
@@TheNovaJohn sorry I'm still trying to learn all of these terms. U mean unplug the wire on the coil and unhook the cable from the handle to the engine? I unplugged it when I took the engine off. So if I put it all back together leave that wire and cable disconnected. Should I then try to crank it? If it starts then what would the problem be?
Yup,,your doing good,,,its a lot to learn but as you go you see its well within your understanding!!! Keep going!
How did it start with the spark plug out?
where? what timestamp?
I have a little Hyper tough from walmart that kept stopping. That possible cable issue slipprd my mind. I messed with that thing for an hour and kept having thr same problem. Drove me nuts. All of a sudden it hit me, brake cable. Problem solved. Brain fart Ha Ha
Hey,,at the end of the day,,,,ya fixed it!! That's all that matters!
I found out years ago,, walk away for a while if ya havin an issue,,let it process,,
Was the mower in this condition when it was sold
I spoke about all of that in the video!
Yes I can smell it in my imagination.
Yes i can smell through my screen
LOL,,,,,,,
It was yours
Fuck me it sound like a F16😂
Video should not be 26 mins long I just want my lawn mower to start….
call a mechanic
@@TheNovaJohnhaters are always gonna hate
Like,,,the infected gonna infect! lol
So you sold a dud lawnmower lad🤔
So ya didn't watch the video?
