How do i start a briggs and straton ,4hp,self propelled lawn mower?
There is a rod like handle that must be pulled tight to the tubular bar you grip. This is the “trigger” that must be held down for the motor to start and to continue running. If it does not get running after pulling the pull cord several times, go to the hardware store and get a spray can of “starter fluid”. Ask the clerk. This is a gasoline that is much more volatile (burns easier) than gas. Spray some into the air intake and try starting again. It will kick over. The air intake is usually a plastic housing about the size of a baseball with slots in it and plastic foam inside. The foam allows air to pass, but not dirt, etc. You can usually just spray into the slots.
