My wife found a Briggs last night a few doors down from my place, actually she found 2,one was a powertorque that had a dead plug. It was dark when she pushed them up the street, I was in bed, it was about 12.30am. Anyway she came and told me she thought one was probably rubbish because it had bits hanging off the handelbar. Turns out the kill switch was shorting out on the plate and they had continued pulling it till they broke the pull start spring, then they pulled the cowl off, gave up and just tied it all to the handelbar. Fix the switch, another pull starter and it runs very well. Third mower I have got from that house in the last few months, the other one was a Rover , excellent base and catcher but no oil in the motor.
