Hook a known good battery out of another vehicle or take the leads off of your mower battery and hook a set of jumper cables from your car battery and see if it turns over hard still. Does the mower run good once started or does it not start at all because of the slow starting?

Nee to know homany wires on brigg stration to make it rin on 13 horsepower generator motor

No wires are needed to engine to make it run if magneto ignition. Now to stop you will need one wire to a ground in switch. Electric starter require 2 wires directly from battery with a solenoid on the positive wire and one low amp actuator wire to it from ignition and must be grounded common with engine is best.

Valve heads carbond up on 24 hp brigs and stration

That's a pretty common problem on small engines, but I never heard of brigs and stration! If that really the name, I am surprised that the real Briggs & Stratton did not sue them for trademark infringement, since it looks somewhat similar!

I have a B/S 22 HP engine and when I try and start it I hear the selonoid pulling in but the engine will not turn. I can do this several time and finally it will start and runs very well. It took the

Is the noise you hear actually the solenoid popping or the starter gear jumping into the flywheel?? You say it finally starts so I am guessing the starter is engaging and actually bumping the flywheel a little. If that is the case it is probably a dragging starter or weak battery. First thing is to be sure the battery is fully charged then see if it will turn over easily. If not you may have a started problem.

I have a sears craftsman tractor,18 hp electric start. No. 917.254860. engine no. 422707,type no. 1522.01. briggs and stratton. engine won,t turn over. Replaced plugs,coil,carborator rebuilt to specs. New...

From your description it seems that the starter is not engaging to turn over the engine. First ensure all the connections of the thicker cables to the battery, starter and tractor frame are clean and tight. If starter motor is turning but still not engaging it will mean that the pinion on the starter motor is binding on the shaft. You can buy a new starter pinion gear from your local B & S agent.
To replace pinion, remove starter motor from engine, remove old pinion and put on new one and reattach starter to engine. If fuel & spark are right you should be up amd running.

Poulan Pro riding lawnmower 42" 18.5 hp 6 speed It mowed fine. Would not start when I wanted to mow again. Turns starter a little, but not enough to start. Recharged battery--same condition existed. ...

Replace the battery. Even though the battery may say it's good, it doesn't have enough of cranking amps. Go purchase a battery with 350 cranking amps. This will fix your problem. The battery power isn't enough to kick the starter completely up to turn the engine.

Locked down motor

Unfortunately it sounds like you threw a connecting rod in other words a blown motor. The connecting rod has become disconnected from the crankshft and is jammed up between the case and the crank itself, the engine must be dissasembled and rebiult.
