LOL! The Deere had it's Champion plugs changed for NGK ones by the workshop last week! They said NGK are the best.....
Thanks Graeme. Apparently a new coil will be fitted in the next couple of days to the Deere so we will see if this does the trick!
Are these the newer generation (ish) of B and S engines with auto choke? A lot of these had issues from day 1 and will basically apply the choke when its not needed (ie hot engine), causing it to flood and not start.
Carry a spare spark plug - only cost pennies - and change it next time it won't start to rule that out.
Thanks Adam - I will give that a go. Yep - they both have autochoke!
we've had some of these auto choke Briggs - and yes the choke has been the problem. Our mechanic showed us a trick: there is a small lever under the front engine cover top LHS if in front of the mower facing it - flick that whilst someone else pulls the starter and it normally bursts into life. Bit of a pain if by yourself and we avoid these engines in preference of Kawasaki and Honda
Thanks Andrew!
