- In this video I show you how to do a full service on a Briggs And Stratton 500 E Petrol Lawnmower Engine.
We service the new style plastic bowl type carburetor on this Briggs And Stratton 500E , clean the air filter, set the valves and check the kill switch as well as changing the oil and much, much more!
During the servicing of this Briggs And Stratton 500 E Petrol Lawnmower engine I test out Briggs And Stratton customer service and I go on a RANT!!
I've decided to either keep this Masport Mower or mail it to Casey Neistat (BIG CZcamsr) just for fun.
Servicing this Briggs And Stratton 500 E wasn't as straight forward as it should have been as I couldn't find a service manual, so massive thanks to my subscribers and youtube channel Taryl fixes all!!
Here's a link to Taryls channel.

This is the best video on the 500E I’ve found on the Internet, after looking for 2 months. Finally! Thank you!
Jason Poe Thanks I appreciate that.
@@MowerMan do you have the headbolt torque for the head on that engine
💯 agreed, followed the advice on cleaning the carb… worked a dream. Saved me £100 on service… thanks chap!
@Mower Man - I cannot thank you enough for this video. The maintenance part was great for those who don't know much about this engine but the gold for me personally was the info on the clearances for the valves. I have been trying to get this mower started for 2 weeks. I have replaced armatures, spark plugs, cleaned out the carburetor twice, removed the flywheel to check the flywheel key and checked all the linkages to make sure they were operating as expected with zero results. I was scratching my head for ages to the point I was going to dump the lawn mower and get a new one. My valves had zero clearance and screwed TIGHT. Made the adjustments and got it going pretty much after a few pulls.
You are a legend for finding out the clearances!
Thank you very much, very grateful. 🙏
G'day Lad, if I knew you're name I'd use it but since I don't I'll use Lad. I watched your vid on 500E service & it was so helpful to me in fixing my mower & getting it back on the Cut. I followed youre carbi cleaning tips & it worked a dream. With so much out there it took me s while to find the right video to watch & I am so grateful to you as couldn't of done it without watching. Easy to follow, no tech jargon 😊to confuse people , straight up get it done. Good shot mate many thanx
Sean from 🇦🇺
Masport, Mason and Porter made in Panmure New Zealand. Best mowers in the world.
By far the best, in depth video on this mower. I've got the same engine and this has helped heaps. Thanks mate
Thank! Much appreciated
Mate, had this engine backfiring and cutting out . Have it for 9 years . Watched your video . did what you taught . Started up first pull . Thanks for sharing yer knowledge. Gratefull Kiwi.
Nice clear instructions on this vid Paul, Happy birthday Mowerwoman lol
Have a mower with a 500E and after 10 years it was finally misfiring and bogging down on the littlest amount of grass. Took it apart and the jets were almost fully clogged. Cleaned it up and put it back together and it runs like new. I'd say this plastic carb gets the job done. I bet it will be good for another 10 years. Nice informative video!
Great Video - Absolutely brilliant
Thank you for taking the time to have shown us this.
I've had my mower for 2 years and thought it was about time I serviced it. ( I know, should have at least changed the oil before now)
Nothing wrong with how it runs just now but I bought the service kit and this video will help me get it all done.
That mower is exactly the same Masport 470 special for bunnings in Australia sells for $449 au which is regarded as cheap mower over here. Im sure it came from Bunnings over in uk .
The one lever height control is what all our mowers come with.
i did get hold of a Masport deck and catcher put a engine on it and found with dry grass drought conditions was blowing clippings from catcher where it mounted to the deck . and the wheels were not the normal double ball bearing types we normally have.
We normally have the kill switch work from the throttle control but the system you use in uk is creeping in was on a POPE lawnmower was able to convert with older parts on a classic B&S engine to work off the throttle.
Your engine is sadly the way B&S is going. No support made of plastic and it even says just top up your oil never have to do an oil change.
Your doing a great job for those people who end up with this engine and wish to maintain it to maximise the life. Cheers..
P.S. did you get the mulching plug that it would have had from new.
WT Hi thanks for that great information yes i've got the mulching plug
As a Briggs and Stratton technician all the information is fully available. Briggs support all thier technicians giving full trainings and techicial support. All Briggs centres would be more than happy to help you if you require technical info.
Green Morris Thanks Green Morris. I'm always interested to see if I can find the information online as well. Usually I don't have a problem but this was slightly different. Thanks for letting me know though it's appreciated
So today I drained the tank, old gas, and cleaned the carb. I used a whole big can of starting fluid on it. Then used the air hose like you did. Put it back together and gave it a prime and it started right up. But it would not stop. I forgot to put the kill switch wire back on. Took it back a part put the kill switch back on. Then it would not start. Primed it some more still would not start. As I started to take cover off I noticed I forgot to put the spark plug wire back on. Put it back on and the first pull it started up. Runs a little rough. The air filter was so nasty I did Not put it back on. I washed it out with gas and then in hot soapy water and hung it out to dry. Perhaps tomorrow after it has had time to dry out I will put some oil on it and try it again. I am hoping it will smooth out and run better. Just wanted to say a Big Thank You, to you.
Awesome video, 1st time working on this type of carb, mower fixed easily 👍 Subscribed
Best ever on the 500e series thank you everything very explained I also searched serial number but couldn’t find one so thanks for your help keep up the good work
Hi! Lithuania is sending a massive thanks! Great job! Superb overview and service information!
Thanks!
This video is the best thing on the internet right now.
I just cleaned the carb out, with the spray - this vid gave me the confidence to do it. New fuel, new plug, new oil.
I also tilted the machine over (carb side up) and freed up the blades by hand as i think they were sticking a bit.
I am now ready to cut some grass. If it ever stops raining.
Thanks!
Happy birthday to the wife! Great video. I had a 450 on the bench 2 weeks ago. Like you, I found no numbers. Scanned the code sticker and Briggs website was and still is down. Adjusted mine to .006, but it still has issues. I’ve been through the carb, even changed it out with another one. I guess I’ll do a leak down test and check the governor adjustment. It’s a curb pick, and I’ve got more lawn equipment than I can deal with. It’s just down on power, irritates me to no end not being able to get it right, yet. Stuff to keep me busy. Cheers.
This is a great video and inspired me to service my Masport 470 with a Biggs & Stratton 500e engine. I took the carburetor completely apart and found dirt inside. Back together and running smooth again. Thank you.
Awesome
Thanks so much for your video. I’m terrible working with tools, having to repair things like small engines is outside my comfort zone. I followed along, a rewind here and there but eventually I put it all back together...started first pull...thanks again.
The mower itself looks like it's made very well.
The only issue I have heard about on another CZcams channel, is the main jet in these plastic carbs. The main jet port is very tiny, and apparently susceptible to getting dirt lodged init. Some guys actually have had to ream out the main jet slightly with a very tiny jet drill bit.
And Happy birthday to the Mower Woman!
I havnt serviced mine for 5 yrs
Runs first start still
Just watched your video and then did the Strip down, I slid the pin out and in rather than pull and click. Mower runs great now and has stopped hunting. Cheers mate.
Happy birthday mower woman. Think I’ve only seen you once when you did the ice bucket challenge. Seems like a good mower, although like you say that float bulb fixing could cause problems if one of those tabs break. Briggs and Stratton WAKE UP. Cheers. Rob.
Always a pleasure to watch, Keep them coming.
Dude ya just saved me watchin my grass grow with my mower in not workin mode - until I discovered you video I was lost thx again!
OMG, Thank you. This video saved me from buying a new mower. So helpful. Much appreciated.
I want to thank you so much for putting out this video last summer got screwed over by my father-in-law on a lawnmower watched your video and it was completely fixed within an hour runs perfect thank you keep up the good work
Awesome!
Thankyou followed your instructions to the letter..3 x prime and boom instant starting again..you are a gem.
Good video, I have a 60s or 70s masport 2 stroke I'm working on, it's actually on my channel part 2 to go up soon. I've had to source parts from USA but it will be a nice classic. Masport have got a decent name in the mower world. Good vid thanks.
Great video thanks
I have one of these and it is due for a full service
Just put new blades on today so will be getting into the oiley bits over the next few Dar.
Will let you know how it all turns out.
Nick

Cracking video mate! Helped me alot with my 500E. Cheers
I picked up one of these at a yard sale last weekend. Hate to hear you are having trouble finding the model number. But at least now I know I am not the only one. It took me a while to find it. The 500 e, the one I got, I found it. It is Hard to see. It is on the side of the engine block, same side as the muffler. Look to the left on the block. It looks to be painted on more so than stamped. Not sure IF the first number on mine was faded off or what. It looks to be 9p602 0076F1. After looking on line for hours I learned it starts with a ' 0 " It is suppose to read like this, 09p602 0076F1.
For them to put a printed peace of paper or paint a model number on a mower is damn stupid. And they do the same thing with riding mowers. Hell of thing with out those numbers you can not get parts. Most likely someone has already told you this but it might help someone else. Also I was not getting any spark. I took the coil off, cleaned it and the flywheel. I re gapped the coil with one business card. It would not spark. Took it off and used two business cards. Sprayed some starting fluid and the third pull she tried to start. Now I got to work on the carb.
I agree with Jason Poe... This is the best video I also have found on the 500e . You are the only one that explains the calibration of the values. Most excellent !
Dennis Thanks Dennis! I really appreciate that.
Thanks for the valve adjustment part. As normally I first set the valve clearance to top dead. It started badly. Now with your explanation it starts perfect!
I think the new engines are good, easy to service and repair. My old man has had one since they came out and it never misses a beat, seems better on fuel than the old sidevalve engines.
Unbelievable assistance. Cant thank you enough. Got me tinkering with my mowers and Im loving it. So helpful its untrue. Better than telly. Thanks Miwerman, sorry dont know your name yet.
Paul.....superb, thank you.
Thanks John!
Great video. Do you have a video on how to check the governor?
A very informative video full of useful information about servicing the 500E engine. Cheers Malcolm
Thank you for this video. mower would not start so i check the plug and made sure it had gas I was not sure i want to talk on taking the carb apart tell i watch you video so thank you again for showing it
I got 1 of these I just changed out the gas put new spark plug in air filter great mower
Nice job Paul . Credit to Taryl junior on that one .
Cheers
Pete.
Pete Froud Cheers Pete ! Thanks again for your help.
We have a lot of masports here in Aus Paul they are really well made like you say not cheap to buy. Also they all have the throttle control on the side in a lever even the old Briggs engines. They don't have the kill handle on them at all down here only a handle if it's self drive...that's a nice looking mower you should definitely keep it 👍👍
Got the 450e engine on my mower and it’s hunting like nobody’s business. Even fitted a new (Chinese) carb and still no luck. Tried fresh fuel, new spark plug, clean air filter too
Pull the fuel line off that goes to the tank and check there isn't a hidden inline fuel filter
Mower Man Thanks for the reply. I’ll try detaching the fuel pipe and taking a look. Would it be closer the tank end do you know? And if there is one: then I presume I should replace it?
Edit; hope you are well by the way; missing the mower videos of late
@@jeffjeffjeff2 yes near the tank end. There's a good vid on micks mowers that shows how to make the hole slightly larger in the carb.
Mower Man Thanks Sir. Will check for the filter and report back. Cheers
Exactly what I needed. Clear, concise, understandable, and thorough.
Engine is stamped above the governor spring , behind the tank.
Air
Inlet Valve Thanks so much didn't know what that was
I bought this exact mower here in Australia last month when my Ryobi 190cc Subaru motor died within warranty, pretty much most Aussie mowers are set up like this in regards to throttle and height adjustment, although masport in from NZ, same thing, I absolutely love Masports decks and blade setup, they catch and cut so well, I still have a broken Victa with the classic 35 motor that needs the carb fixed, the linkage from the throttle and the governor broke and I attempted to bandaid repair it with a paper clip, ended up redlining it revved so hard the carb and tank flew off..
Haha !
Hi Paul, excellent video and hopefully it will help me sort out my rough running MTD Mower.
FYI You had the socket required in your socket set. It’s the smaller one opposite the 8mm spanner
Cheers Mark
your still one of the best out there on mower tutorials great work paul
Wow, thanks!
@@MowerMan your very welcome, n believe me when I say I have searched through 100s of videos you & Martin rock the mower scene.
Great video Paul! As usual! Never worked on one myself but if I ever needed to, this video will be golden! Full of info! Cheers Jay
Daannnnng that grass is super legit broskies 🤙🏽🇺🇸🇺🇸
Awesome masports. I've had three and only renew them as I wear them out and they sell well. I batter them, carrying them on a trailer and cutting long grass regularly. Acres of grass can be cut with masports with ease. Their great mowers.
bobbelsekwol I'm loving mine it's just so solid.
Taryls videos are really good and entertaining with acting and funny skits
ive been searching a way to fix my lawnmower for 5 months i found this over 30 videos just to find this.
excellent
Thanks from New Orleans. The frame I have is from Bolens, which isn't as nice as yours. Excellent video.
I like working on the plastic cxarbs. Easy to work on and clean
I agree Richard!
Great man makes everithing easyer and safe makes you save lot of money and lot of time for a simple work
Thank you and go ahead with more tutorials
thanks Juan
Brilliant video! My mower starts no bother then splutters (whilst staying on) - does this engine not have a fuel filter?
Its got fresh fuel in and I've just changed the oil. New air filter two months ago and new spark plug in January. What would you suggest? Clean the carb? Or try a new plug? It starts as it should though. Thanks so much
Also, if you don't have valve setting information, a good starting point is 10 thousandths of an inch.
Kill switch kill switch kill switch. Really focused on that kill switch
You do have a 16mm plug socket in your socket set. It`s next to the 21mm socket.
Thanks so much, this video is really helpful, I hope my mower will stop searching, as it gets on my pip!!.
That's a new Zealand mower masport
I got a lawnmower that I bought from Walmart a few years ago that is a 500E Briggs & Stratton Engine and I had it tuned up and a Stay dog ate the Plastic Pull Handle Off and I bought a pull rope kit and realized that this motor does not have bolt holes on top or on the sides and I didn't know if I would break something off or not ?
Thanks for this, wish l found it 6 hours ago.. Did you ever get any joy from B & S for a manual? I spent 2 hours trying to find one today :-( I agree about the Masport deck and my missus loves using it.
I have a bolens briggs and stratton 500 E series 140cc side discharge mulch 21" cutting width.... It was given to me and it didn't have the air filter and lid plus it would leak a little bit of gas out of that spot....well with everything else going on I used it and used it then the last time I used it it was getting hot super fast and I was having to give it oil within hour of use and honestly I just wanted my yard to be mowed getting over breaking my foot and I didn't stop fast enough and it froze up... I couldn't pull the rope anymore... Someone said that the o rings burned up but I have a couple of books that I am looking at with diagrams of lawnmowers and I am not sure about any o rings.. I see gaskets.. I just don't know how much of it do I need to take apart, replace and or fix before I can put it together and it be usable again
Thanks! A great video that’s just saved me a lot of frustration.
I have the same engine on my mower and found the model number engraved on the side of the engine between the oil filler port and the exhaust.
Hi, thanks for great video, with help of your video I was able to do some what service and able to start the lawn mower which was cutting off (dying) right after start. I I used a wire to clear the holes, however the engine feels like breathing and easily cuts off with a little extra load on grass. I wonder if there is any other reason why this engine feels like breathing.. When I pump the red button and push air, it runs bit better. I need some help to make sure engine is running with full power. Thanks
My piece of wire is an acetylene torch cleaner which goes from very very fine, to quite thick and they all are mildly serrated so will remove gummy deposits as you can see from the carb cleaning videos on my channel. (A cement mixer and a wacker)
I hope you kept this one for yourself, looks mega
Haha should have waited until the end before posting that, nice one!
Brilliant video! Thank you!
There's nothing wrong with these plastic carburetors. If you're having issues with the jets clogging, there's still room to fit an in-line fuel filter. If Briggs did that in the first place, it might've saved the company's reputation from these engines not starting.
Absolutely brilliant video thanks mate
Hi. I replaced the carburator on our mower. It looks almost the same as the mower in your video.
The spark plug that I took out as the mower wasn't starting was soaked in petrol.
I'm afraid to replace the spark plug and try to start it
How do I fix that? The new carburator needs adjusting.
But we're scared to start it up. We don't want it to explode. If we start it up with a new spark plug, will it explode?
Thanks for the video, but you left out the only bit I really needed help with. How do you remove the top red cover on the 500 series e. There are no bolts or screws that I can see.
Really good demonstration
Thank you a lot
I havnt serviced mine since new 5yrs ago
Great video. Thanks a lot. Do you have the valve clearance in mm i.s.o. inches? If I understand well, the clearance should be between 1/4000 and 1/8000 of an inch. That means something like 0.0005mm which is almost zero. My little tool cannot measure 0.0005mm. It starts at 0.05mm.
I'm in Belgium.
Many thanks.
After I pull to start mine and it starts upon returning the cord it makes a noise like the cord is rubbing/catching on something spinning.
Nice video! I tipped my lawnmower upside down and oil is now leaking through the air inlet soaking the air filter. Do you know why and how to go about cleaning it? cheers!
Thanks for making these videos, they re really useful and clear to follow. Any idea where I'd buy a breather pipe for this engine?

Hey! Thank your for your detailed video. I have just ordered an Al-Ko mower with this type of engine.
Is it reliable type of engine ? Has any weak point to look after when using ? Thank you so much for your answer.
Good vid looks a nice mower
I don’t like those engines much. All the ones I’ve seen have issues with hunting up and down. It’s to do with the plastic inlet manifold piece which warps with the heat and stops sealing properly. Regarding the throttle setup, they aren’t allowed to be sold new in the uk like that as eu regs state they must stop the blades spinning when handles are let go of. You’ll probably find it’s a New Zealand import or something. Nice made machines but they do cost enough
Hi I have the same hunting issue with mine what part needs replacing? Thanks
Can someone explain to me what hunting is might be the issue i thought was a carby issue after 10mn mine seems to lose power the revs go up and down is this hunting cheers Mike
@@mikeei954 Yep, that's hunting.
Top man , spot on , cheers
I know you said the little white thing sticking out is a vent of some sort . What is that white circle part right near it it turns. On top by it
Hi Mowerman have you got any vids on the quantum engine? Mine is hunting a lot and I’m wondering what screws to turn. The instruction book is not great. Thank you. Nick
I have the same motor in a self propelled McCulloch mower which has started to revs its knackers off, do you know if the governor should have two springs on it, please.
Great video Paul
Hi Paul,
thanks for all the videos you've done it's been a great help, with some good tips.
Been buying and selling mowers for about 6 months just as a hobby, and it's been very profitable.
Could you please tell me where you get your diagram and gaskets and also spark plugs from.
Paul what spark plugs would you use?
Regards Anthony.
Anthony Houghton Ngk spark plug b2lm I think. Contact briggs bits or garden hire spares for any parts
Great video, well done.
Hi, I use the Victa Hurricane limited edition 20" and it uses this engine. My engine has a weird clanking sound just after a year. May I ask for your experience about this matter? Thanks!
Hi Paul I was just having a look at f book marketplace now whilst having my breakfast and some one is selling exactly the same masport as what you have they want $240 Aus dollars.. In great condition like yours.
Hi My briggs runs but fuel/oil is coming out the airfilter an ideas for service?
Excellent video
Mower Man, I am trying to bring a Honda Harmony 2 HRR216. I don’t think her previous owners ever cleaned her undercarriage. I’ve made some progress on it by using a plastic paint scraper (a metal scraper may be to harsh). A thin concrete layer of grass remains. What should I do/use to completely remove the remaining grass from under her deck?
What kind of oil would be useful info to know. Great instructional video though. Thanks
SAE 30
Do you have the correct Newton meters to torque the bolts of the cylinder head and other engine parts? Thank you.
Im ignorant i know....but after 40 minutes of this....No one is telling me if this is a two stroke? If it takes oil in the fuel or not? Ratio?
