My predator 212 is hard to start when it is cold. Every time I start it i need to take out the plug clean it put it back in an pull like crazy. My mods to the engine are a 14 cc head, k&n type air filter, header, and a 90 main jet. It is easy to start when it is hot and runs good . It is just a...

Hey all, I posted a Tecumseh shortblock on the parts page. As I stated there I have picked up about 5 big boxes of older NOS Briggs parts, with a few Tecumseh parts. There are all kinds of parts from carb kits, mufflers, point armatures, screws, rings, etc. Also a ton of different head and...

I'm experiencing alot of compression when pull starting, at times its so much it pulls the bike off the ground. but when I get it started it runs great. any ideas? I added the .265 lift cam and flat top piston. Its also spitting fuel out the carb at times when pull starting. I thought it might...

Ok, so i bolted on a new magnetron coil to my 71 flathead, added some fuel, pulled the cord and boom! It fired up!.....then died quickly. Im sure the carb needs total rebuild. I added some fuel to the carb and it fired again. While pulling though, the cold pulled out of the handle and sucked...

Sometimes pull starting H35 darn thing gets really hard and you almost lift bike off ground. Its not the pull assembly just a stiff spot. Hard to describe?:shrug:

This may be helpful to someone in the future because when I had the problem with the recoil trying to rip my arm off, I was told the compression itself was the cause then all I kept reading was valve lash. I was searching for troubleshooting and repairing compression release on clone cam. I...

Spent a little time at American Jewelry and Loan yesterday. The last part of my families spring break festivities. They were filming while we were there, kinda cool to watch people flip out over stupid stuff. Wish I would have had something to pawn (like a minibike, could have gotten on the...

Hello, in a previous thread I was having issues with my 22mm mikuni carb. After changing a variety of parts and switching to a gx390 carburetor, the motor now runs awesome. But it is extremely hard to start. It takes 20-30 pulls depending and it seriously seems like it is going to start at all...

hey yall got a briggs fiver, and the thing is really hard to start, take 15 pulls, then runs like a champ, besides smoking a little on hard acceleration when cold, any ideas as to where this problem stems from

Another Carigslist find. Hard to tell what it is. It looks like a Bird but it also has some Cat characteristics. There are shock mounts on the back. I don't recognize the forks and handlebars. I'm leaning towards Bird on this one.

My computer died. I lost most everything on my Hard Drive. The Hard Drive has about 39% that's readable. I'm trying to retrieve some pictures. Don't know what else I can save. I did get a new HP today- Quad Core Processor, 4GB RAMM, 1 Terabyte HD. Should be more computer than I'll ever use. I...

Hello again I have gotten my 1959 3 1/2 briggs running good. It will sit there and idle until it runs out of gas, but it doesn't like to start with out some type of prime. I have to give it a shot a starting fluid (i know, I know) to get it to catch. I am not sure what I can do to make it start...
