Bought new swisser 44" pull behind trail mower from tractor supply company 2 years ago and have had nothing but trouble with Briggs & Stratton engine. built date on engine is 6/10.

engine is 344cc 11.5 hp power built briggs & stratton and it sucks. The first time I tried to start the engine it took over 1 hour to get it to start. once started it starts easy for the next few times during the same day, then it is very hard to start the next time the grass is tall enough to cut again. I have replaced the rope 5 times since I bought it.

I have had to replace the spark plug 3 times even though they look like they are in good shape. It starts a little easier with a new plug for a couple of times then gets hard to start again. The rope breaks so much because it takes about an hours worth of pulling the rope before it starts. Too tired to cut grass by the time I get the mower started.

I always use fresh gas, check the oil, and clean the filter and this does not help. I also have tried Stabil and other fuel additives which was recomended by sales people in stores because ethonol gas sucks also now. Still does not help. I will not by another Briggs & Stratton anything!!!!!!!

I also had a Snapper push mower years ago with B&S engine and it blew up after 2 years.

I should have learned my lesson then. I have now.

Monetary Loss: $1000.
