This was great advice, i have never pulled apart any type of engine or carb before, followed the step by step instructions from the video and started stripping my lawn mower that has not run for 4 years. Didnt know what i was doing but carried on regardless, i had nothing to loose because i went out and got a new lawn mower 4 years ago. Anyway stripped it down, cleaned it up, changed the oil, sharpened the blade, put it all back together. Waited for 5 mins then desided to pull the cord. To my amazement and joy it started first time. I now have two lawn mowers. Thank you for your great step by step instructions. I also didnt need to get a new gasket, old one worked just fine. Top job

Thank you Mower Man!
Mine was running 10 mins then dying. Sorted a new bulb, plug and filter. Running great and now my boy can help me with the lawn! ;)

Excellent Job Mower Man easy to follow your instructions, just picked up a 2002 Murray Briggs 3.5 Classic, cut a lot of grass. A kid and his dad bought it for $10 and flipped it to me for $35. It runs and cuts grass very well I might add, lol. Thanks and best with your repairs.

(You have been warned !!)

Hi, big thumbs up! Just bought one today based on your video thinking I can fix a broken one. Rusted cable in the sleeve, rusted and stuck flywheel brake, no spark in plug, carb springs disconnected etc. All good now and runs great! Was well worth the £20 and with the lockdown it was 2 hours well spent.

Had mine for 19 years and still running great, infact as good as new.

Mine was pulsing. I took it apart and cleaned it out following your video and voila. Thanks so much!

[ragingghost]

I didn’t read about the safety bar and took me forever to start it and then when I used it it came to life on the first pull

[declanoconnor]

Great 17 years sitting idle and started right up after

[charleslewis]

Had mine for 27 years, still running, steel chassis rusted after 2 years, put an older aluminium one on. Replaced carb as mouse eaten primer button. The 3.5 continues to work!

I have a 3.5 Clasic I got in Maryland late 80s. Only used it a couple times and had it service 8 yrs ago but let step son and son in law use it. Big mistake! They said it wouldn't stay running and had no oil. It was so clean they didn't see any oil on the dip stick. We know who the dips were. Anyway been checking out your channel and learned a lot. Did a quick service and got it running again. I probably could use a new diaphragm. Mine doesn't have a primer only manual throttle. Tach got it at about 3100. Now to get my 500e up and running. Got it free from don in law in a trade for an extra one I had that ran, 22 inch, FWD with a mulcher/bag. Sounds clanky and may need low noise muffler. Adjusted by using your videos specs. Can't get specs anywhere and we know about customer service at Briggs.

Hi I watch all your videos they help me with my brigg and Stratton keep up all the good work more videos

Great video!I have the xc-35 since 2009 and is still running superb.Excellent piece of machinery.

[jamesallan]

Thanks Paul did them it's wired because when I changed the carb and tank it still did the same thing with a carb that runs as it should on the other mower, thanks anyway, love the vids you and Martin best out there,

[ristomattikolsi]

Hi Mower Man!!! I've got two very old Briggs 3 hp mowers. -69 and -73. They are just brilliant machines, and i use them every summer.

[menditman]

It’s always wise on every service of these classic engines to replace the gasket and diaphragm regardless if are they are running fine, they are dirt cheap and they are the main thing that goes wrong on these. I sold a mower once was running fine the person contacted me that it wasn’t running right, I picked it up new D&G job done, from that day I always fit a new one. Also when I service a mower in the main I clean the carb, because the mowers can be running ok but there can be muck in the bottom of the tank or bowl. Better safe than sorry🙂👍

[stevenhunter]

Well I've just used this video to help service my 13 year old 450 series that looks exactly like this 35 classic. Seems to be almost exactly the same. Thank you 👍🏼
