That's easy man! You will always hear, "You sir, need to gap this or that at EXACTLY .00071542 inches per square meter".

The actual "poor boy fix"-

Put your magneto back on there, and stick a business card from your wallet in between it and the rotor. Let the magneto pull itself to it, you center it, and give it just a hair of breathing room (to slide the card back out). Tighten 'er down, and you got it.

1.- If you can't pull the card out, it is too tight.

2.- If you pull the card out easily, too loose.

3.- JUST enough to pull it out, and have it drag just a bit on the way out is JUST ENOUGH!

Remember, on 4-strokes, they ARE forgiving, and can do miracles even if you try your best to destroy them.

Sounds like you will need to clean your carburetor.
Sometimes you can get by with priming it a few times, and letting it
run a few times like that and it will flush the gunk out of the jets,
but most of the time you will need to rebuild the carburetor.
If the mower is over a couple years old, then I also recommend that you
buy and install a new carburetor repair kit, because the diaphragm will
get hard and that will cause it to be hard to crank.
When you clean your carburetor and remove the jet screws, count the
number of turns it takes to seat the jets from their original position.
That way when you go to put the jets back in, you know how many turns
they were in/out.
Please do not forget to rate me, Thanks
Good Luck, I hope this helped

SOURCE: my briggs and stratton 675 lawn mower won't

I am guessing that this is your ENGINE model number: 126K02-0512-B1
Using this reference:
http://www.partstree.com/parts/?lc=briggs_and_stratton&mn=126K02-0512-B1&dn=35820003
Check to make sure that the choke item number 97 is not sticking.
Then remove the float bowl nut and float bowl assy. Clean the fuel passages in the base of the carb with carb cleaner including the area where the bowl nut screws into. There is a fixed jet orifice that must be cleaned in the threaded area. Also clean the visible brass tubes in the top of the carb.
Check fuel flow with the bowl removed. You should have a good fuel flow with the float angled down and as you lift it level fuel flow should STOP. If you do not have fuel flow... remove the float pin, drop the float and needle and celan out the hole where the float needle was. Remove the main fuel line and check for fuel flow. Use carb cleaner in the hole where the fuel line connects. If you do not have feul flow from the fuel tank.. check the tank port and look for any kind of in line filter. If you find a filter... check the line before and after the filter for fuel flow. Once you have established fuel flow Reassemble carb

Check the spark.... if you have no spark
First check the thermostat by just disconnecting it. Item 291
http://www.partstree.com/parts/?lc=briggs_and_stratton&mn=126K02-0512-B1&dn=35820004
Then retest your spark. If you have spark with the thermostat disconnected the themostat is bad. (Most engines use a low oil level sensor..... this one uses the thermostat)
There is an electrical contact on the throttle plate that is grounded when the throttle is selected to off. Make sure the throttle plate lever moves off of the contact when you advance the throttle. ALSO... there is another ground / contact on the engine brake. Make sure that when the engine brake is released that the brake lever moves away from the ignition grounding contact.

The above are the basics.... If after doing ALL of the above you still have problems with ignition then suspect the ignition components.

Thanks for choosing FixYa,
Kelly

SOURCE: unable to locate oil drain

Open the spot where you put the oil in.Now turn the mower so that is comes out the hole it went in.It can be messy so use a large bucket.

What is the magneto gap for a 6HP Briggs & Stratton 12H802 series engine?

Briggs lists it as .006 - .010 on this 6 HP L-head engine. The .010 width can easily be attained by using a standard sized business card as a feeler gauge (and it doesn't stick to the magnets in the flywheel). I double up the card, loosen the coil and let the magnets in the flywheel draw the pickup legs in until they press on the card, tighten up the retaining screws (threadlocker is optional) and your air gap is set.

Setting of magnatron in mm

Air gap on the ignition module should be .152 mm. The thickness of a clean, dry business card is close enough.
Loosen the module, place a card between the module and the magnet of the flywheel. Allow the module to stick to the flywheel through the card. Tighten the module, then turn the flywheel slowly to remove the card.
Good luck!

Timing is off nedd to know what depth to set magneto at briggs and stratton 600 series lawn mower 190cc

the timing is fixed by way of woodruff key in the crank which locates into a chanel in the flywheel and is not adjustable. If you mean the air gap between the ignition unit and flywheel then set it to aprox .002-.005 inch

Cleaned the Briggs & Stratton Riding Lawn Mower's head and valves. Put it back together and it refuses to start, get good starting try, no joy. Checked the spark, great! Checked the gas- great!...

did you usae a new head gasket and clean the old gasket off? does the plug get gas? you must have spark, fuel, compression and timing in order for it to run. also did you gap the coil to flywheel spacing?
