My 18HP Briggs and Stratton Vanguard engine will not start when it is hot
I have a 18 HP Briggs vanguard engine bought in 1997. It has been a good reliable engine for most of that time however since about five years ago it would not start after the engine got hot. I would have to let it cool down, then it would start. Now It won't start at all without starting fluid. The plugs are new and the carb was rebuilt. Even have a new coil and plugwire assembly. It constantly floods out, thus the starting fluid. What can I do?
