Bought a low hours 2006 Snapper RE200 last year. Very happy, except the Briggs 13HP OHV starts hard.
The battery is strong -new this year. Run no-ethanol gas, or use additive when ethanol gas used.
I crank it over choked for 5sec each try, and for the first approx 5 attempts get nothing.
On approx 6th try, it will finally fire once for a split second.
The next 1-2 attempts, it fires immediately and then quits. Then it fires right up and runs flawlessly.
I assume the problem is gas isn't getting to the carb as quick as it should(?)
Since the mower finally does start every time and then runs great, I haven't done any troubleshooting.
Is this much cranking normally required to start this motor? Should I be concerned/sign of bigger problem, or not worry about it and avoid messing with a motor that runs very well once started?
Thanks for any advice-
