Fixing a No-Start Briggs Engine – 3 Surprising Issues!

Craftsman Riding Mower Won’t Start? We dug into a no-start issue with a Briggs & Stratton engine and uncovered multiple problems you might not expect. In this video, we walk through each issue — from water in the fuel, a stuck backfire solenoid, to a fuel tank gasket that was literally clogging the fuel flow. If your mower cranks but won’t fire up, this video could save you hours of frustration (and money)!

✅ What we found:

Water contamination in the gas

Sticking backfire solenoid

Deteriorated fuel cap gasket lodged in the tank

🔧 Whether you're a DIYer or just trying to get your lawn mowed again, this is a must-watch if your Briggs & Stratton-powered mower isn’t cooperating.
