Paul Boy 31 #1 Posted August 26, 2020 Finally was able to get to work on the little B-112 that the wife dragged home. I think it has some serious issues. Cleaned as many terminals and connections as I could. Put fresh charged battery in and it makes a sound . Took plug out and cleaned and set that. The problem is when the plug is out it whirls around beautiful. Put the plug back in and it barely turns. Could my problem be that the started is weak or is this a more serious problem?

I'm guessing that you are dealing with a Briggs engine. Is there any chance that the starter drive gear is bad? The drive gear is plastic and has a bad habit of wearing down & jamming on the fly wheel. Edited August 27, 2020 by Achto 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tractorhead 9,212 #5 Posted August 27, 2020 Or maybe a worn out starter ( brushes worn out) Or a gone coils in the starter. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Renrag 69 #6 Posted August 28, 2020 My guess would lean towards tired starter Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
