Are Mountfield engines made by Briggs and stratton?

I have noticed that new mountfield mowers have their own name on the engines now but they look the same as the briggs and stratton engine. Are they still Briggs and stratton engines with mountfield logos or are they now making their own engines?

I would assume it's a imported clone engine.

Briggs wont restart when hot

B

b7labelle on May 04, 2014

Hello, I have a [B]Briggs & Stratton 128m02[/B] on a CM push mower. Purchased last spring. Engine may have 20 hours on it. [B]Complaint: No start using rope crank when engine is hot[/B]. Engine starts when cold, and can be restarted when hot with starting fluid. Pulled air cleaner and noted the choke was in the open position. When restarted using starting fluid engine runs fine. Does not stall, no loss of power noticed (1st cut of year, grass isn't too long). When engine is allowed to cool, engine can be restarted with rope crank. Starts easily unaided with first crank when engine is cold or cool. Engine will start if I stop and restart the engine before it warms up. This engine did sit over winter with gas, I did add an appropriate amount of Stabil last fall. Emptied tank while mowing and added fresh gas to complete lawn, issue remains. Using the handy, dandy search function led me to check spark. Apparently B&S has a quality issue with their ignition coils? Pulled spark plug when engine was hot, grounded against casting and saw a spark. Allowed engine to cool and repeated, did not notice an apparent change in spark intensity however I am not sure if there was if I would be able to tell. Spark plug does not appear fouled. Did not notice a difference in effort required to crank engine when hot vs. cold, did not use a compression tester. Have not checked valve lash. Thoughts? Suggestions?Read More

Kawasaki FE250 runs rough

dbsoccer on May 07, 2014

I own a Ryan LawnAire 28 with an 8hp Kawasaki FE250 engine. The engine starts fine but seems to stumble and, in general, run rough. The engine has much less than 100 hours on it despite being a pre-2000 vintage. The unit was first used in Cleveland but I'm using it at 5,000 feet in Colorado. Before digging into this I was hoping to get some insight from some of the online experts who may have some ideas. The aircleaner, while not new, is not terribly dirty and the choke seems to work as designed. Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.Read More
