Hi Friiy.........
Thanks so much for your comments on the Brigg's snow engine recall. You're response makes sense to me. In my continued research it was mentioned that maybe they install a backfire surpression screen over the carb. intake instead of the course screen that is there now. My engine starts on the first pull with priming and the second pull if I just use the choke. The primer bulb on these engines is large and does have the capacity to over prime. I took the cover off the engine so I could look into the carb. and actually see how much fuel goes in and how and so now I don't over prime. Two shots and that's it.......... But again I have not run into a Brigg's rep or mechanic that is willing to discuss the fix. They all have the same party line, "bring it in and we'll take care of it, no charge". Good deal if they were close to me to do that but for me it's a hassle, more then the freebe is worth.
Thank again Friiy for the help. I really do appreciate it....
Lisa

Does anyone know what parts they replace for this recall? OR maybe they add some parts?? I would love to know as I can't get ANY information on this recall except take it back to the B&S dealer. Well I don't have a dealer close by and I would just like to know that maybe I could fix this myself. I am a mechanic so this shouldn't be a problem.
Any help would be appreciated...............
