Air Cooling System

Over time debris may accumulate in cylinder cooling fins and cannot be removed without partial engine disassembly. For this reason, we recommend you have an authorized Briggs & Stratton service dealer clean the cooling system per recommended intervals (see Maintenance Schedule in beginning of Maintenance section).
