Briggs & Stratton Engine Repair in Simpson, NC

Briggs & Stratton powers half the equipment in eastern North Carolina — and when it quits, you need someone who knows what they're doing. At Rude Boy Small Engine Repair, we've been fixing B&S engines for over 40 years. Lawn mowers, generators, pressure washers — if it's got a Briggs engine, we can fix it. Walk-ins welcome. No appointment. No runaround.

Common Briggs & Stratton Problems We Fix

Briggs & Stratton engines are tough, but they're not bulletproof. Here's what we see most:

  • Won't start — after sitting all winter or just out of nowhere
  • Surging or hunting engine — revving up and down, won't hold a steady idle
  • Carburetor problems — gummed up, clogged, or just plain done
  • Oil leaks — gaskets, seals, and everything in between
  • Blown head gaskets — more common than people think
  • Worn piston rings — burning oil, low compression, rough running
  • Bad ignition coils — no spark, no start, no good

Equipment We Service

Briggs & Stratton engines show up in a lot of places. We work on all of it:

  • Walk-behind lawn mowers
  • Riding mowers and zero-turn mowers
  • Portable generators
  • Pressure washers
  • Tillers and cultivators
  • Log splitters
  • Go-karts and mini bikes
  • And more — if it's got a B&S engine, we'll take a look
