What analog type tachometer will work on Briggs and Stratton motors?

For several years I used a tachometer on 18 HP Briggs & Stratton Engines called Tiny Tach. It was a screw on plastic tach with LED numbers. They always worked great. I purchased a new engine 2 months ago. My tach would no longer work. I found the paper work where I purchased the tack from Tiny Tach Corp. in Ohio. They have went out of business. rcooper@volstate.net ---- Tiny Tachs are definitely still around, they are sold through Briggs and Stratton now, and are specified for use on all Briggs engines, except for our diesel 3 cylinders. But they are digital, not analog. You can purchase analog types at most aftermarket auto parts stores like Autozone, Carquest, Napa, Murray's, et al, but make sure you find one that is adjustable (i.e. you can choose number of cylinders, or specify input from coil to plug to wire, etc.), or it will read double or half engine speed.

6.5 Briggs and Stratton stops when mowing on a slope?
Some Brigg's and Stratten motors have an oil level switch. When you go on a slope if it is really steep the oil level switch will think there is no oil in the motor so it will shut off. If you have that steep of lawn your best bet is to get a lawnboy lawnmower because they don't have that problem - they use mixed fuel.
Why does your 5hp ohv Briggs and stratton turn very hard on compression stroke?
Because both valves (or reeds in the case of some 2 stroke motors) in the cylinder head are closed and it is compressing the air and fuel i so the mixture will ignite and cause combustion or firing of the mixture to create power to cycle the motor through the exhaust and into the next compression stroke.
What is the horse power of a Briggs and Stratton 4.75 engine and why do they advertise gross torque instead of horse power?
Not completely sure, but it could be 3.5HP Briggs and Stratton states that torque is the most appropriate measurment for push mowers since all of the engine's power (HP) is translated into torque power (spinning blades) and nothing else...while their larger motors used in riding mowers distribute the raw horsepower around the machine for different purposes (e.g. PTO, transmission drive etc) , so HP is more appropriate to use in that case. Personally I think they're just using it because HP is always a lower number. lol
