I have a briggs and stratton intec 206 horizontal engine . The model # is 121432 . The engine is on my wood splitter it would always start very good on one or two pulls. Now when u try to start it it kicks back and ripps the cord out of your fingers or will haul your shoulder out of joint any advice on what I should do it hurts like hell

Check and make sure you don't have a sheared flywheel woodruff key. When I've had those symptoms in the past that has been the case. It allows the flywheel to rotate a bit on the crank screwing up timing... and it can do this, have low power or not even start at all depending on how far it moved.

I checked the fly wheel key and it was fine but I replaced it any way. I also readjusted the valves and it still does the same thing it will still kick back and rip the cord out of your hand. I also drained some oil out because it was a little over full from some one over filling it.

RACERSTREESDRAG does not find this helpful : BECAUSE THE FLYWHEEL KEY IS NEW AND OK

Boy are YOU ever rude... EXACTLY WHERE in the original post did you state that. RIGHT... you didn't... so your excuse is exactly WHAT for that comment?

Tell you what... figure it out yourself then.


Since you obviously don't bother reading the rules... before you got rude... here they are...


Using the Comments Feature - Official Guidelines
The Comments feature has undergone changes under the new "skin" (This site has different Interfaces, called skins, which changes the way members see the site and some features are different). So I'm revising theses guidelines accordingly (10/10/10). I propose the following guidelines for using the Comments feature.

First, comments and ratings have been separated in the new skin. Ratings are governed by Thumbs Up/ Thumbs Down icons next to an "is this helpful" question, marked Yes and No in the new skin. Older skins will see a Comments on this Post box with Agree/Disagree radio buttons. Most of what follows applies primarily to those.

Positive comments should be given under the following circumstances:
1) From the asker as a thank you
2) From other members to ratify the factual correctness of an answer
3) From other members to agree with the opinions expressed

Negative comments should be given under the following circumstances:
1) From another member when an answer is FACTUALLY wrong
2) From the asker if the advice turned out to be incorrect

Negative comments should NOT be given when:
1) there is a difference of opinion not of fact
2) when a response has been added to the thread disagreeing with the opinion
3) when a responder asks for clarification or more information (note: often questions do not contain enough info to answer so clarification is asked for--Answers should not be rated until the course of the assistance is complete)

These are the guidelines I follow when I use the comments feature. Opinions anyone?

The new skin also has the ability to simply add a comment to a post without a rating. These comments should NOT be used to provide or ask for followup information. This is because a) the space provided for comments is limited and b) the comments are not time stamped. The original poster (OP) should use the comments for thanks yous or the like. Other posters should use the comments for a quick comment on the quality of the advice. Otherwise the Answer options should be used to provide additional information or ask a followup question.
