We diagnose and repair an issue with the starter not turning over the engine. It was brought in because they replaced the starter, battery and solenoid but were still having the issue of the mower sometimes not turning over.
One time it would start but the next time it would not spin. It would get stuck on the compression stroke and hang up there. We replace the solenoid because of the damage done to it by the customer repeatedly overworking the starter.
We find the ACTUAL problem from there and repair it so they do not have any further issues.
Adjust at .004" to .006" depending on your exact engine model
We love how well these Briggs & Stratton engine run!

About Us:
My name is Martin. I have been repairing tools and small engines for almost 20 years. We operate a small engine repair shop in Illinois. We service / repair Briggs & Stratton, Kohler, Kawasaki, John Deere, Cub Cadet, Toro Tecumseh, Loncin, Honda, Craftsman, Husqvarna, MTD, Troy Bilt, Simplicity, John Deere, Exmark, LCT, Generac and many more brands. We work on riding mowers, walk behind mowers, snow blowers, zero turns, generators, pressure washers and much more. We normally repair about 3,000 pieces of equipment every year and look at many more that are beyond an affordable repair. Hopefully our videos will save you some money and give you the information you need to work on your own equipment or figure out the issue at hand.

Make sure the bolt holding the rocker arm pivot piece has not backed out. Most of these are set correctly at .005"
Can’t be the only one who thinks he sounds like Tom Hanks…
99.99% of the time it's the valves ,You are not a small engine mechanic you are a parts changer.
I would have made sure the stud that the rocker arm pivots on has not come loose and backed out.
My cub cadet has been doing this for months. I just try to start it a few times and it finally takes off. I tell myself that I will fix it later (aka check starter, solenoid, etc) but end up procrastinating and then forgetting about it until its time to mow again, so then I just try it a few times until it takes. Now I found this video and the fix. The one time in my life that procrastination paid off. lol
Sounds like a valve lash problem
The only problem I see is that this mower came with a Briggs engine. I have a Husqvarna that's 14 years old with a Kohler engine. Only change oil and filter every spring. Never had an engine issue, plus I have over 3000 hours on it.
Thanks. Until I saw this video of yours, I watched a bunch of single cylinder videos where they say the cam shaft was broken because there was no "bump" in the valve movement during rotation. On the twin cyclinder models, I guess there is no bump, and tomorrow I am going to do exactly this -remove each spark plug independently and test if one allows starter to turn over, and see if one side is the culprit then go set valve gap. Thanks and I hope this solves it.
I NEVER comment on YT videos, so that should show you how helpful this was. Thank you so much for this. Saved me from going insane, I'd done exactly what you said, threw a new solenoid on, new battery, checked all the grounds, nothing. Adjusted the valves and fires up every time. Thanks again!
Sounds like compression release not working.
This video saved me so much work fixing my Daughter's YTH 22V46, thank you so much. As an added plus, my Daughter thinks I'm a genius. LOL
This video popped up and it's EXACTLY what my mower has been doing for 2 years. I replaced battery 2 times, keep it on tender and seems to help but still happens occasionally. Thanks soooooo much for this video. It seems like common sense but never considered it.
my husqvarna is only 2 years old and was having the same problem and was very close to getting rid of it. i did some research and found this video and did what he said to do. now it starts every time i turn the key. thank you sir for sharing your knowledge 👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Same half crank problem on a 24HP twin I just bought used with a good battery. Had ordered a starter and saw your video. Previous owner had two of the valves set over .020. You are a life saver! Thanks!
Thanks for sharing this with us!
This might be ab older video but I have searched for about an hour using different keywords before I actually came across this video that I am actually able to fix my unit. Thanks for the details and the why not what shortcuts to take to get it running again!!!!!!!!
Thanks for taking the time to make this video. I've had this problem for quite a while and this has fixed it. Keep up the good work and keep those videos coming!
I wish I had seen this video before the "I've changed out the entire electrical system and the crazy thing still won't start" point. Haha. Thank you!
Just adjusted my valves after replacing all electrical stuff😮, It spins freely now. Thanks for video!
Thank you !!!!! That's just what my unit is doing.
