I purchased a Craftsman Lawn mower with a Briggs and Stratton engine. This is a simple push mower 450 Series.

I used it about 8-10 times and it would not start. I took it to a small engine repair where they cleaned and serviced the Carburetor. After spending nearly as much on servicing as purchase price, it was working again,,,,, but only for another 6 months before failing again. The problem is definitely in the carburetor again.

It starts after priming but quits as soon as the primer fuel is exhausted,, 3 second or so. What happened to this company??

I ran the same lawn mower as a kid for 10 years without failure. Now, they make a *** carburetor that won't last more than a few months?

Reason of review: Bad quality.

Monetary Loss: $200.

Preferred solution: Let the company propose a solution.

Location: 3200 N Roosevelt Blvd, Key West, FL 33040, USA

I'm in the market for a new mower, but after reading many, many NEGATIVE reviews of Briggs & Stratton engines, I'm glad to have read those reviews and will opt instead for a mower with a Honda engine. What has happened to BS? Used to be so good?,
