    B&S motor won't start after just running?
    I have an older (1998) 6.5 HP B&S Intec motor on a self propelled lawn mower which starts and runs well when cold. After running for a circuit or two around the lawn and stopping to empty the bag it will not start. Waiting for perhaps 30 minutes to an hour and it starts and runs well. I have replaced the primer bulb but what else is wrong?

    Hi,
    Sounds like a "classic" ignition module problem caused by heat rising up into it when the engine is stopped.
    Peace,

My Insinkerator 777 hums when turned on but won't spin... unless I stick a big spoon down and give one of the spinners a good shove, like starting a prop plane.
