Briggs and Stratton Vanguard Engine 18HP Model 350777 Type 1113-E1 Code 98111811 is not running normally. It is emitting black smoke out of the exhaust and has no power. What is wrong with the engine?

Try cleaning or replacing the air cleaner. A clogged air clearner will make the engine run rich (like having the choke on). The rich mixture will cause the blackish smoke. The fileter may not even look very dirty, but the element can still be plugged and cause a problem similar to what you describe.


Problem with Briggs Stratton 16.5 HP engine sputters at high rpm not continuous but runs rough Runs a lot smoother at three quarter rpm though Changed plugs filters oil and disconnected kill switches?

It could be that the mixture is a little on the rich side. Close (rotate clockwise) the needle valve on the carburetor about 1/8 of a turn.


Why does your Briggs and stratton lawnmower engine smoke?

Black smoke= running to rich(too much gas) try replacing your air filter or your carburetor might be out of adjustment, choke might be on White smoke=burning oil. Make sure there isn't too much oil in the crankcase, use the proper grade oil- sae 30w. wore piston rings or scored cylinder wall. could be a few more internal engine failures.


Briggs and Stratton 4.5 hp lawn mower starts easily enough but revs inconsistently and puffs black smoke what could the matter be?

Because of the inconsistant revving and the puffs of black smoke, I would say that the air filter is clogged and/or the spark plug needs replacing. Else, the carburetor is set too rich or the choke is sticking.


What is wrong with a Briggs and Stratton engine that wont start after it has run for 15 min but runs fine until it is shut off and works after cooled?

One possibility is that the engine is running too rich. When you shut the engine off with no spark present the excess fuel present from the last couple cycles is flooding the engine. This would dissipate after time. Try the idling screw first ajust until the engine is about to cut out and then turn it about 1 turn back and see how it runs.You could also adjust the Pilot screw a tinybit toward the leaner side also. If this doesnt help then the float could be slightly sticking. Of course it could be some kind of screwy grounding problem. Hope this helps.


Why is the spark plug black on a Briggs and Stratton?

The fuel mixture is probably set to rich. Also, the wrong spark plug (with regard to heat range) could be in the engine. If you have an adjustable carburetor with mixture adjustment screws, try turning the screw (probably located on the bottom of the carburetor, in the middle of the bowl) inward 1/8 to 1/4 of a turn. This will lean the mixture. If you have a no-adjust carburetor, then there is not a lot you can do to change the mixture. Try using/replacing the spark plug with the correct spark plug as recommended by B&S. Good luck!
