We diagnose and repair an issue with the starter not turning over the engine properly.
We see people chasing this issue and replacing the starter, battery or solenoid thinking the issue is electrical but still having the issue of the mower sometimes not turning over or turning over slowly
One time it would start but the next time it would not spin. It would get stuck on the compression stroke and hang up there.
The dealer quoted a new camshaft thinking the low speed compression release on it was bad.
The common symptoms of an issue like this will be the engine turning over slowly, the starter hanging up, engine will not turn over or starting slow.
They should have checked this first!
We find the ACTUAL problem from there and repair it so they do not have any further issues.
After repairing this part, we also find the ignition coil (armature-magneto) has gone bad so we replace it also
This is on a John Deere mower Model D130 riding mower with a Briggs & Stratton 40777-0170-G5 engine
We love how well these Briggs & Stratton engine run!

It's a fantastic repair and it's explanations at every point along the way along with multiple tests demonstrate his Top notch professionalism. I always enjoy watching his repairs and seeing him go through a logical process to make an accurate repair. The point that he doesn't make which is important for people to understand is the value added nature of an independent repair shop versus the dealership. The prices are normally lower and the mechanics are far far superior. But you gotta find them and they are always not available. Dealerships are normally a problem from both a cost and quality standpoints, in my years of experience. Great job!!! 👍👍👍

You just answered my question near the very end. Dealing with the other plug. If they were both changed out or any carbon buildup. Some places just want to take advantage of the consumer. I've seen way to many valve issues over the years. I hope that shop didn't charge the customer for guessing at the issue instead of actually working toward a solution.

Great videos and so informative! I have a JD X324 Kawasaki engine and it is hard to turn the engine by hand at the top....with or without the spark plugs connected. I dont know much, but am trying to learn. My machine has very rough mid and high power . I first found bad gas and dirty tank. Removed the tank, ran new lines, new siphon line, gas check valve,changed filters, plugs, and replaced fuel pump and carburetor . Took off cylinder covers and set valves to spec....still haven't put them back on and tried to see how it ran. Just ran across this video and heard you say "the engine should turn fairly easy by hand" ...again my mower is hard to turn! Any advice or thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
@IndRepair
@IndRepair Месяц назад
Hard to turn is no good, It could be the PTO clutch bearings are extremely rough. Try taking the clutch off and see if this solves the issue. Check out the drive system while you are there, make sure it moves free

My John Deere E170 quit running after 10hrs. The last time I used it, it ran for about twenty feet and never ran again. I replaced the battery and nothing. Unfortunately, it was at the beginning of COVID and it sat for two summers. I contacted John Deere to see if they would cover the warranty and they said it would have to go to a John Deere Dealership to diagnose it the engine had moisture in it and the engine was ruined. This was something I thought was basically impossible since the lawnmower had always been kept in a storage building. Plus this didn't explain why it quit running after 10hrs. Since we were still making payments on it we went ahead and spent $1300.00 for a new engine, so far so good on the new engine.

So every video I see about a Briggs & Stratton that turns slow has the valve adjustment in front. I have an old Montgomery wards 18 hp twin with the carburetor in the front and there is no place to adjust those valves that I can see. The engine turns over well without spark plugs but tends to stop at the same spot which sounds like compression. Do these older Briggs engines have the decompression? Model is 422707.
@IndRepair
@IndRepair 2 месяца назад
The opposed twin does not have this low speed compression release (every one I have seen anyway) I would suspect timing off or a stuck valve on first inspection

So, mine is doing the hanging up thing. But when its not doing that it'll just keep turning over and not start. I have checked the fuel system all the way to the carb and i have a good fuel supply to it. Havent removed the carb yet though. But it will start if I give it a little shot of starting fluid and it will keep running. But I definitely don't want to be doing that too many times! Could the turning over and not starting issue be because of My valves? Or should I clean the carb and then check the valves if it's still doing it? Thanks for any info you can give me!
@IndRepair

On one hand, I find it a little bit weird that you don't know why the dealer quoted would have quoted how they did for that repair. On the other hand, if you don't know, you don't know and there's probably a reason for it (and I dont mean that in a negative way). So usually the customer will drop a machine off at a dealer and want a service special (different names for it, but a yearly service). The tech discovers an issue that the customer may or may not (usually not) have mentioned. Rather than spend time (because time is money) figuring out exactly what the issue is, they will figure worst case scenario as best they can. In this case, given it's a Briggs and they have a nasty habit of cam failure, they quoted for the cam being replaced. They would have tried adjusting valves first and if that fixed it, half hour labor and everyone moves. If it didnt fix it, they've already quoted for the cam replacement and they can proceed with that without having to get the customer back on the phone and try to explain why the valve adjustment didnt work and so on. I always try to give both scenarios and what it will cost both ways and let the customer decide. If it's just one of those things that you won't know until you get into it, then I tread lightly with an estimate and get them agree to an hour of labor for me to get into and then go from there. It can also depend on the service manager/service writer. Sometimes they do a bad job of quoting things. But again, with it being a Briggs, it's usually a safe bet that the cam has failed. But as easy as a valve adjustment is, I'll squeeze that in and fudge my time a little bit to make sure before I start quoting things. But everyone is different.
@IndRepair
@IndRepair 4 месяца назад
I normally give customers the full deal before doing anything. I'm pulling a valve cover before quoting a very expensive repair every time. Four bolts, two minutes and I have real answers. With only 200 hours on the machine, no way I give them the $1,300 quote (what dealer quoted) without further investigation or talking to them about all the possibilities. I know we all have different processes just think anyone worth their salt would have taken the time. Thanks for watching!
