When adding SAE 30 oil to new pw, do we add to the
From what i've read in the manual you need to fill both the pump and the motor. The pump itself will have a dipstick, the motor gets filled to the top. If the motor has two inlets one should fill up when you pour in the other side. Most briggs had two motor oil inlets so the motor could be used on several types of equipment. The pump itself should use about 9.6 oz

Power more 173 cc will not start unless I poor a little gas in carb, runs for a few seconds. cleaned carb full of fuel, bowl fills up. manuel choke works, no gas shut off valve, two butterfly valves.
My first thought would be the screw that holds the carb bowl. It has a little orifice and 4 holes evenly spaced around the base of the screw and it is vital that all holes and orifices are completely free of gunk and trash or varnished gummed up stuff. That must be cleaned. I use B-12 Chemtool carb jet spray. I suggest using compressed air as well. An old guitar string (G,B,or E strings) works well but do not make sharp bends with the wire! It will snap off at the right time and poke your finger. This case calls for a little common knowledge Lol. And supposing the main jet has been sprayed and blown out. Main jet is the tube with many evenly spaced holes around it. Some are removable. I clean my carbs using a welders torch tip cleaner files. Never ever ever force a wire too large in these orifices and holes. Always use the nxt smaller size wire.

Start by checking the coil for spark makeing sure the ground on the brake is releasing if you have spark the problem is fuel delivery check fuel filter if ok rebuild carburator or at least clean with carb cleaner.

Wizard rototiller model 5hp. Briggs.
Not getting
is it a bowl style carb and you cleaned it is it a diaphram style and you replaced the diaphram ?the older 5hp briggs engines would run fine if you started it with carb cleaner some leaked head gaskets and could create enough vac to draw in the fuel
