Fender Anarchist posted:Oh nice, I'm working on a pressure washer right now, little B&S 500 series, won't get going no matter how hard or long you yank it. Compression feels strong and there's fuel smell coming from the muffler when I turn it manually. No spark even from the uncovered wire in the spark boot, so I'm getting a replacement coil. The installation procedure seems pretty straightforward, just use the included card to set the armature gap right? I've never really worked on anything that wasn't an electronically controlled car engine so this is an interesting project for me. Its probably the stop switch itself.

I would buy the cheapest non self propelled model you can find. You can beat the snot out if it and if it breaks or you let gas sit in it for 5 years parts are widely available and  My experience with modern briggs engines has not been mixed but mostly not good. The single cylinder push mower type stuff has been fine. V-twins, I bought a scag tiger cat with a commercial turf briggs v-twin in 2014. It blew its sump gasket the next year. I caught it quick, machine had 40 hours and a warranty so the dealer fixed it. It was out of commission for weeks. At about 150 hours it knocked for about 3 seconds and tossed a rod. No warning, had clean oil, out of warranty. I replaced it with a briggs vanguard 810 thats done ok so far, but only has 25 hours on it.
