Briggs & Stratton Engine Parts and Inverter Generators

In a departure from the normal residential product review information format, we have decided to detail the tool that is most necessary for farm and or jobsite usage. The line of inverter generators, from Briggs & Stratton, are mandatory for any farming location and construction or general industry jobsite areas.

Mobile Power Requirements

We here at this Briggs & Stratton Engine Parts location understand all too well, that power is the most important aspect of doing work, in the real world of today, and that from time to time; there will not be accessible plug-in power for these job areas. A farming environment normally is not acclimated with a permanent power source and this means that you will have to bring your power with you from site to site.

Briggs Line of Generator Products

The inverter generator that we feel is best-suited for farming work and construction site areas is the Briggs line of products that are powered mostly by the 2100 Series OHV engine for long life, high performance, and great fuel efficiency. The key features of these generators are listed below so that you can get a good feel for what these bad-boys can do for your farming location and construction sites.

Heavy-duty Components and Features

  • 8000 Running Watts/10,000 Starting Watts
  • Electric Start and Remote Choke
  • Up to 9 Hours Running Time at 50% Load
  • Ideal for Powering Numerous Large Appliances in Addition to Several Household Units
  • 3-Year Limited Warranty

Briggs and Stratton Repair Identifies and Treats Powdery Mildew in Lawns

Powdery mold. In Mideastern lawns, this is one of the most troubling and persistent turf ailments that starts in spring and runs through the summer. To begin with, we thought it would be good for you to have a mental image of what this disease looks like.

Appearance

This destructive and dusty disease appears as grayish or white growth on upper surfaces of grass leaves. While all grasses are susceptible to powdery mildew, it is most apparent on Kentucky bluegrass and tall fescue.

When is Your Turf Primed for Attack from Powdery Mildew?

Powdery mildew is most likely to happen in lawn areas with low sunlight, high humidity, low air movement, and warm temperatures. Lawns that are shaded are predisposed to powdery mildew.

What can you do to Rid your Turf of this Disease?

Powdery mildew loves and will actively seek the shade, so pruning to eliminate shade may help. Using a grass that tolerates the shade such as many variances of bluegrass or fine fescue can stop its appearance outright. In very thin areas, a good fungicide can help but it is really not worth the expense or trouble as if you just read and follow the instructions on this posting from us here at Briggs and Stratton Repair, you will be free from powdery mildew all year long!

Murphy’s Law #101 – Even the best maintained lawn mower will eventually  give in to the dreaded broken pull starter cord. This breakage always seems to occur at the most inappropriate times as well. Over time, though, moisture, thousands of yanks, and just plain wear and tear can cause the starter cord to weaken and break inside the Briggs starter housing unit. Fortunately, with a few around the house hand tools, and about 15 minutes of your time, you can repair or replace that broken Briggs starter pull cord.

Step 1

Remove the Rubber Coated Spark Plug Wire from Spark Plug

Step 2

Remove the Three Bolts from Starter Housing

Step 3

Remove the Housing from Engine and Turn the Housing Upside Down on a Flat, Level Surface

Step 4

Locate the Spring Tensioned Pulley that Holds the Pull Starter Cord – Find the Single HHole in the Pulley and Pass the New Cord through Both of These Holes

Step 5

Winding in a Clockwise Direction – Progressively Turn the Spring Tension Pulley Until it is Tight

Step 6

Place One of the Hand Spring Clamps at the 3 o’clock Position to Secure Pulley to the Top of the Housing

Step 7

Wind the Cord into the Spring and then Reapply the Housing

Briggs & Parts Discusses Common Spring Pest Problems Way Down South in Florida

Unfortunately, if you call the Sunshine State home, then you already know all too well the pests that make their presence known, as soon as the weather starts to break. Florida pests, especially in the pleasant breeding conditions that spring affords these nasty little visitors, are some of the worst in the nation. We are not talking about the beneficial insects such as certain types of ants, that help us all live better lives, but the non-beneficial ones.

At  Briggs & Parts, we know about the pests that come around as soon as the warmth comes back to Florida. We battle these very same pests in the turf and at times, in our own homes each year around March. Fortunately, our pest control experience will lend itself well to you all in the Florida as knowledge is certainly power!

Please have a look at what we feel are some of the most frequently encountered pests in the state.

Floridian Pests

  • Termites cause more damage annually than storms, fires and floods combined. Needing an opening of just 1/64th of an inch to begin their colonization of your home, some species of Florida termites can cause significant damage to your humble home in as little as six months.
  • Bed bugs are the predators and unsuspecting humans are the prey. At one point, it was thought that Florida had done away with this parasite, now experts are learning that these invasive pests are beginning to take over once again.
  • Ants are by far the most commonly encountered nuisance in the state of Florida. Once a scout ant finds a source of food in your home, the rest of the colony follows. Once ants infest your home, it can take a lot of time and effort to stop them from showing up all over your home.

Briggs Stratton Part Presents – Spring Weed Control in Lawns and Other Turf Areas

Well, spring has sprung and that means warmer temperatures and ofcourse, lawn and garden work! It matters not where it is that you call home, the good money is on the fact that you will be behind or on top (if you are lucky) of a lawn mower apparatus as soon as this weekend in the continental United States.

Beat Back the Weed Brigade

To get right down to it on this Briggs Stratton Part presentation regarding spring weed control, we wanted to tell you about our little trick that saves you both time and money in the battle against the dreaded weed brigade! Weeds have been planning and plotting their all-directional attack onto you turf areas since last winter so you better listen up and take a few notes!

Systemic and Pre-Emergent Wed Control Still Viable

At this point in time, it is still advantageous for you to use a two-pronged defense against encroaching weeds. The first is to spray directly on the present weeds, a systemic based weed killer. There are many on the market with the push being towards a more environmentally friendly product. After that spraying, and the very next weekend, apply your summer pre-emergent weed control agent and that will get you back in the game for weed control this year!

Briggs Part Discusses Painting Older Engines

With the terrible economy steamrolling right along, or to put it in the correct context, dying day by day, its good to know that you can refurbish that old Briggs engine and keep that lawnmower or weed trimmer working like a charm. What you can do after you have replaced what it is that you needed to replace on that engine, to make it run great oncemore, is to further protect and add a touch of aesthetic beauty to the engine as well, by utilizing flat black paint.

As Briggs Part providers, we feel that you should know how to at the very least paint your Briggs & Stratton engine so that you can keep cutting the lawn and or trimming the weeds in high fashion! Some lawn jockeys actually belong to classic Briggs engine clubs and that should tell you a little something about the reliability and the love that these people have for these fine engines.

Please have a look below at a few steps that will start you out on the right foot when you decide to smear some Briggs Black onto your engine.

(1) First take the engine parts off that you can access and have those along with the case sandblasted.

(2) Fill any spots that are deep or rust pits with a grinding disk and use body putty for the buildup.

(3) Use a spray can primer on all parts and engine case.

(4) Spray and or brush on classic Briggs Black and you only now have to wait for the parts to dry!

 

 

Briggs and Stratton Small Engine Repair – Discovering Why Engines Sputter

Briggs and Stratton Small Engine Repair – Discovering Why Engines Sputter

Briggs and Stratton Small Engine Repair – Discovering Why Engines Sputter

Have you ever wondered why it is that at times, when you go to cut the lawn, that your lawnmower acts a little strange? As there are numerous reasons for the engine to cough and sputter like a three-pack a day smoker, there happens to be one very easy and simplistic fix and that is what we are going to discuss today.

Briggs and Stratton Small Engine Repair is a resource that we created to help you with your engine dilemmas. There is something that you can do when the engine sputters and spits out grey or blackened smoke from the muffler. We sincerely hope that it is only the grayish white smoke and not the black smoke that is normally indicative of a bigger problem.

Let’s assume that you have a sputtering engine problem with a Command Kohler Engine model. When you start the engine, it does run, but the running is not what it used to do and the sound coming from the engine is pointing to an ignition coil issue.

Replacing the ignition coil is a good start and this one action could solve your sputtering engine problem and not cost you an ‘arm and a leg’. What normally happens is that when the coil is warming up and the wires are then expanding, they are then shorting out and causing the engine to sputter and chug.

We hope this helps!

Have a great day!

Briggs Stratton Part – Discussion on Engine Care in 2012

With the turning of the calendar to yet another year, we must all look towards the future and to the safety and health of all of the ones we love and care for, including ourselves! Please be careful in all that you do this year and take the required time to be safe especially when cutting the lawn or trimming the edge.

That is our spill for safety in the New Year and we wanted you all to know that at this Briggs Stratton part location on the Internet, which we care for you and your safety as well. Without you around, whom would we have to spin our turf tales to and who else would listen to our ramblings?

Speaking of ramblings, today we wanted to remind you of the benefits of engine care this year. W do not have to tell you about the benefit of keeping what you already have in tip top shape as the economy has taught us all a valuable lesson concerning thriftiness. By checking the fluids, in the engine, such as the oil and whatever else is maintainable and fluid-related on your particular Briggs engine, you can save hundreds if not thousands of hard-earned dollars.

While you are at it and already greasy and dirty, why not check the hoses and other discernable attachments that have a tendency to break and or wear out? The time that you spend on these maintenance issues will pay for itself in a very short time frame.

Have a great year!

Briggs Stratton Part – Company Founders Historical Recanting

At this Briggs posting, we wanted to take you on a quick, 2012 stroll, through one of the leading manufacturers of small engines in the United States today. Briggs & Stratton was founded in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in 1908 and today is based in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin.

Briggs and Stratton engines are commonly used on lawnmowers, as well as pressure washers, electrical generators, and a splendid, very wide variety of other applications. Their original cast-iron engines were known for their durability and longevity, but the company’s success was established following the development of lightweight aluminum engines in the year 1953.

The aluminum engine was the perfect solution for the recently invented, rotary lawnmower due to its lighter weight, lower manufacturing costs, and the durability of this light-weight substrate and material. Briggs & Stratton has since taken aluminum to a new level and now applies this wondrous material to the small engines the company creates and distributes all over the United States.

At this Briggs Stratton Part posting site, we wanted to give you fine lawn-mowing people of America, a glimpse into what we feel is one of the best companies, worldwide, in existence today. Please learn all about this company and many others on the site and we hope you have a great new year!
