Servicing a Rough Murray Select 22" Push Mower - 4.0 HP Briggs & Stratton

This video did not go the way I expected right off the bat (in a good way) with this Murray Select 22" push mower with a 4.0 HP Briggs and Stratton Classic/Quattro

That mower is crying "Wash Me!"

[@garyalensr]

Those tank mounted carbs are super easy to repair. I just gave my neighbor a poulan pro with a briggs engine and carb set up like this one. Its pretty old but looks runs and cuts awesome. That was a nice thing you did for your fellow neighbor.

Those Classic / Sprint engines never quit, they’re even more reliable than the Quantum engines (if that’s possible!).

Hilarious....."trust, but verify!!!!"

Nice mower

[@scottdunn4506]

Old lawnmowers are better than new ones also the Briggs classic are easy to work on I found a old park central lawnmower in the trash with the classic it only needs a new recoil

[@JR-bj3uf]

a lot of time the primer bulb is perished. Sorry about the mower starting. That's a real disappointment.

People really forget how to start them after a while

What type oil did you use? Was that Mobil 1 full synthetic 30 weight?

[@BackyardRepairs]

I used Mobil 1 Extended Performance 5w-30 High Mileage Full Synthetic on this one (free yard sale oil). If I was buying I typically grab 10w-30 high mileage to appease both Honda and Briggs specs

[@philliphall5198]

The only oil I used is 30w sae pen

[@BackyardRepairs]

I’d be a stickler for sae30 on these flatheads as well but since Briggs relaxed their recommendations recently to include 5w & 10w-30 I typically will gravitate to 10w-30 since I have Honda machines as well (just to stock less oil)
