For most Briggs and Stratton engines the charging system is under the flywheel. You will have to remove all the shields that cover the top of the engine and the flywheel and then remove the flywheel itself. Once the flywheel is off the stator is exposed. Depending on what model you have there will be a series of screws that hold it to the block. Just unplug the wire connector and remove the screws and it will come off with a little wiggling. Make sure that all the magnets on the bottom side of the flywheel are in place and secure or replacing the stator will not do you any good.
they make electricity
If you do that you'll surely blow that engine up, guaranteed! .
If it has ignition point contacts they may needed cleaning. You have to remove the flywheel and it's cover. Use wd40 on the points after cleaning.
Usually, the oil cap is screwed on; to unscrew it, turn it counter-clockwise.
With the engine off for at least 15 minutes, remove the dipstick and look to see if the oil is at the full mark.
I would check the flywheel key and see if it has sheared. On push mowers, the key can shear if you plug the deck, or if you hit a solid object like a tree root or stake. The flywheel key sets the ignition timing of the engine, and a sheared one will cause the problems you describe. You will have to remove the shroud and flywheel to check the key. If you don't know how to do this, there should be some basic repair manuals at your local library or online.
Remove gas tank and plastic shroud covering engine. Remove metal engine shroud and debris screen. Starter pulley and recoil assembly are underneath screen.
There is no way to adjust the timing. As long as the keyway (little square aluminum wedge) is in place between the flywheel and the crankshaft it should be in time. If the keyway is sheared or even damaged it will make the engine run rough or it won't run at all. If you remove the nut holding the flywheel onto the crankshaft you will be able to see the grooves in the crank and the flywheel that this keyway slides into. If those two grooves are not perfectly in line then that is your problem.
.030 Refer to your owners manual of remove the old plug and just replace it with an identical plug.
The flywheel should just be a friction fit. You can use an inexpensive wheel pulling tool-about $10-$15. If it is not rusted in place you might be able to remove it by using a pry bar to push up on the flywheel from underneath, not too hard, then tap the wheel with a hammer to work in off. Helps to rotate the wheel to pry up on opposite sides so it doen't get cocked to one side and jammed.
