i have a mini bike with a 5 hp briggs and stranton motor and it wont start. i had it starting on the first pull a few days ago but yesterday and today it wouldnt start. it turns over once then like gives out. it does that about every three pulls. any help is aprciated
Throw a new spark plug in. Also, look inside the tank and make sure the pickup tube for the carb is still on there, and you may need to take it off and clean it. Theres a screen on the end and they get clogged up a lot. Ive seen it multiple times with all the ones weve ran.
you probably need points and condenser, and a carb rebuild. The points and condenser are 12 bucks at fram and fleet, and the carb rebuild kit is about five at farm and fleet also. The combination should make it run like brand new. I had a minibike with a 5 horse briggs, comp cam and valves, cut head, and it ripped! it was a wheelie machine.
