Parts For Brigg's And Stranton Generator
By Ruth R 
Montana
Review Posted 01/17/2023 
It is the wrong part it is for an older model. I am stuck with a $300 dollar part I cannot use. My Briggs and Straton generator is not working and I am not getting any assistance from Briggs and Stranton.

This Is A Good Item To Have On All Cold Weather Areas

Review Posted 03/05/2022 
This generator is in a colder area with a lot of win . Somebody tried to sell the customer a new engine under the impression that it was struggling to start in colder weather . We were asked to evaluate it . Just so happened it was 10 degrees with howling winds the day the tech went there. Engine gas pressure, compression and spark were tested and found to be fine. Explained to customer that all it needed was a cold weather kit. It was installed and the customer actually went out there to see how it started. He called us and thanked us an explained that his former company was going to charge him almost 5 grand for an engine change. He is now our customer. His only complaint was the price.We told him to go on line and see what they are getting for them. Needless to say after he found out he was perfectly happy.

Helps provide an easier start up during them cold days. Only down side was to install, you need to drain the oil in the crank case. Connections were all ready in place for the wiring.

Review Posted 12/05/2015 
I (home owner) did the installation of these items on my new B&S home generator. The installation was straight forward except for the removal of the oil drain line and fitting on the engine. With little space to work in and extremely tight fittings, it took much longer than anticipated.
