Thank you for your inquiry and interest in B & S engine training.

Our authorized dealer training materials and applications are offered via our area distributors, who manage several states’/territories. Their contact information is located in the back of our dealer programs booklet

To view the varying dealer types, and the respective area representatives, please view and download the booklet in the following Answer:

Oftentimes, our Distributors can offer training to individuals not currently affiliated with a dealer. However, each distributor has their own policies. In my experience, most would be willing to accept anyone not affiliated with a dealer providing your mechanical skills are sufficient to not hold the class back. It’s worth a call to find out.

Our Customer Education division (in Menomonee Falls, WI) has a basic requirement that says you have to complete a Distributor's class, before you are eligible to come here. I do know that if you can keep up with the class, and have the time (and funds) to make it here, Customer Education will discuss your options prior to accepting your application.

For more information or a brochure regarding any of our programs, please call, write or email.

The problems you are having sound like symptoms of a sticking inlet needle, I recommend removing the carb from the unit to clean it. Before removing the carburetor I strongly recommend that you take a few digital pictures of how the springs and linkage are re-connected. Once removed, make sure you clean all the small internal passageways.

You will also need to remove the fuel bowl on the base of the unit. Once it is removed make sure you clean the inlet needle and the main jet of the carb. I would also recommend running some Briggs and Stratton fresh start fuel stabilizer (mixed with the recommended ratio of gasoline) through it to clean it out whatever you may have missed in the initial cleaning.

Perform these tests and let me know back with an update if you need further help.

To start the engine you will need to make sure that you have the bail handle fully depressed.

I will include some helpful links that will assist you in finding your engine's numbers. The numbers for your engine will most likely be stamped into the side of your OHV cover.

Please view this link for help in finding the engine’s numbers; you will need to select your equipment from the choices. You will also be able to view the video within the equipment type.

Keep in mind that the numbers that begin with the statement "Family:xxxxxxxx" are not the engine numbers, but rather come from the federal emissions label. You need to look for a series of STAMPED engine numbers.

The neutral on your unit is a bonded neutral internally in the unit. We do recommend that you do not remove the neutral ground bond because this is a portable unit and the bond is installed for safety reasons.

If unit is intended to be connected to a building we recommend using a neutral isolating transfer switch, we offer a transfer switch model 071014 that will work for this.
