Briggs and Stratton 675 Series Repair: Why is my Briggs & Stratton 675 series mower engine running too fast

Sun, 07 Jun 2026 13:53:19 -0700

Part way through my last mowing session, the engine suddenly started running at high revs, the accelerator lever does not alter the engine speed even though it works correctly. Is there an adjustment screw on the carburettor? Or is it a more serious issue.

Briggs and Stratton 675 Series Repair: My Toro self propelled lawn mower starts right up and then dies.

Tue, 10 Mar 2026 16:47:06 -0700

My engine starts up and runs for a few seconds and then dies. I've clean my carburetor and took the float bowl off and cleaned it out. The bowl had a small pieces of a gel substance in it. I removed the carb and the float bowl and blew them all out. Also took the float of and needle valve and blew out the carb. I've checked the fuel lines and no cracks. Put it back together and it does the same thing. Any suggestions??

Kohler: Craftsman LT2000 Kohler 17.5hp Motor - Trouble Idling, Power Issues

Wed, 15 Oct 2025 17:13:42 -0700

So can anyone diagnose what may be the problem with this mower? I inherited it and the previous owner reported it was very hard to start and took 10-15 minutes of cranking before it would catch. I took apart the carburetor and cleaned that real well, replaced the spark plug. It drives around ok but when at the top of a small hill started losing power and nearly stalled out. When I finally got it to start it was very loud and just my opinion sounded like what I think is a timing problem, but I apologize for the vague question I’m not sure where to start. Can someone tell me if that’s a good guess, how to fix it, and what other things I might look for if that’s not the problem?

Kohler: Engine will run for 2-5 minutes then die

Sat, 21 Jun 2025 10:33:57 -0700

Engine on Kohler powered tractor will start and run for 2-5 minutes then die. It will not crank for 5-10 minutes. After waiting a bit it will crank and then do same. It does this regardless of outside or engine temps. I have run a jump wire to fuel solenoid to rule out the silenoid stopping fuel at float bowl. I've replaced the air filter and checked all fuel lines for crimps. The fuel pump seems to be working also as i can see fuel flow thru the clear housing of fuel filter and it maintains a constant fuel level. I'm stumped.

Briggs and Stratton 675 Series Repair: Can someone post a picture of the throttle mechanism/springs?

Sat, 24 May 2025 13:55:44 -0700

I just recently took my B&S 675 apart to clean and check some things and in the midst of putting the engine back together one of the two "springs" for the throttle cable that connects to the carburetor came off. I can not for the life of me figure out how to put the bastard back on correctly, can anyone post a picture of the throttle cable springs connecting to the carburetor on this engine? This engine is on my Briggs & Stratton Earthquake auger with the 675 series engine.

Thank you!

Trimmer won't start. New carburetor, new fuel lines and filter, new air filter, new gas/oil mix. Primer works, bulb fills, gas goes to carb and through return line. Checked spark plug, and it was completely dry, even after many pulls at full choke. Seems fuel isn't getting to the cylinder. Anyone have ideas on what to check next?
