B&S Surging Tools
The tools and repair kit on this page will help you fix your classic Briggs and Stratton engine from the dreaded surging. I have listed a few other tools that would make life easier for you but they’re not strictly necessary.

Stabil Fuel stabilizer
Mix this with the gas when winterizing your small engine. Gas isn't what it used to be, it goes stale, in some cases after just one month. Bad gas causes gumming and that's a carburetor killer. Stabilizer will save you money and stress in the long run.

Tool Set
Before we can do anything, we'll need tools. I've selected this set as I own some Craftsman tools and while I have broken them, they did do a lot of work. So I expect this set will last the occasional user quite a long time.
This set carries both metric and standard sockets and that's important, because some mowers will have both type of fastener sizes. Picture links to Amazon.com
