Do this once a season! Briggs & Stratton Valve Adjustment 

So many videos about this procedure seems to focus on the valve clearance. Getting the engine to TDC is the most important step I believe. Without that all is lost.

I'm going to do this tomorrow, so I'm studying tonight. I really appreciate the way you present this. Clear information with excellent camera work.

You are the MAN!!! Thank you for getting right to the point!

Easy and to the point. Thanks

Thanks for the info and not wasting a lot of time. Appreciate it. Doug

Great video. Very professional. Thanks!

Great video on the valve lash

Very informative and understanding process in performing the rocker arm adjustment. Thank you for making this video. First time ever subscribing to a channel.

Your presentation is superb. So informative and given so down to earth. Nice beard :)

Simple and to the point. Thank you. My mower starts 100% better. No drag.

Thank you for your help

"if they are both loose your in right spot" if not wrong stroke....this fixed my issues😊 I also marked my flywheel using piston stop...made life easier!

Thank you for your video, worked like a charm!

short and sweet thanks alot! much help!

Excellent video--thanks!

Something even easier = put finger or thumb over spark plug hole and slowly rotate flywheel. The compression stroke will push thumb off the plug hole THEN insert a feeler rod into plug hole and come on up to TDC and maybe a couple of degrees past TDC depending on engine specs. Now check and adjust valve clearance. The compression stroke is what you are looking for here before making adjustments. I can't believe all you "master mechanics" miss this easy tip.

Very helpful, I’m just getting into small engine repair.

Great explanation. Thanks for sharing.

Excellent, liked & subbed! I have a B&S 28V707 given to me in a Murray Select rider mower. I have used this for several years and I have never checked the valve lash, and I don't think it has ever been checked. I saw what the spec was 5-7 and 3-5 and was pleasantly surprised when you told what the spec was and the gauge you used, that was the help I needed. Superlative! So today is the day! Thank you!

Thank you job well done

Thats lot of knowledge

Great job

These videos are informative and very well made.

Thanks very much.

This must be done every year on ohv engines Easy and simple 😊

nice tutorial

Thank you for this helpful post.

thanks for info starts much better

Great video thank you if I could make one recommendation it would have been good to mention the importance of replacing the old gasket properly by removing and cleaning the cover and using a new gasket and applying sealant as well as cross tightening the cover bolts evenly to torque spec.

The usual position on an Intek is just past TDC, with the stick going in by ¼ inch.

Great video and to the point.

? using the tdc method as shown in the video do i need to re do the tdc to adjust the intake? or finding it for the exhaust serves for both?

I checked and adjusted the valve lash on my 1972 4 cylinder MGB sports car which has the opposite way of adjusting the lash and, thus, confused me. On the "B", the clearance is set by adjusting the center adjusting screw and it is the NUT that locks the adjusting screw in place. It looks like, with these mower engines, the clearance is set by moving the NUT and then the hex or torx screw is used to lock the setting down. Am I correct?

Sometime i need to buy some more hipa cleaners again for cleaning out carburetor jet holes my old set are kinda dirty

When i put in the new camshaft on that same engine i noticed the top valve inside the engine was a little stiff pulling it out it was stiff halfway out like the hole it fits in needs drilled out to smoothen it up Its the part at the end of the push rod inside the engine My compression release on the old camshaft was still good and worked but the lobes were worn down on the camshaft and thats what my problem was. I seen on one name brand replacement part that came with my parts from Briggs for that same engine wasn't the exact match for the oil pump so i didn't use that part i didn't need it anyways wouldn't have fit my oil pump anyways mines part is round at the bottom and flat on top of the part

Would this be the same procedure for a Honda OHV 5hp rotary mower except for the feeler gauge used?

Dankeschön für gute viedeo, ARKADAS

is this a symptom of excessive gap in the exhaust valve: mower will try to yank your arm off when starting after a couple pulls. seems to only happen when cold, about halfway through a pull it will violently pull the cord back into the engine. runs perfect once it starts though. others have advised me it might be the flywheel key.

I think my mower engine came from a junkyard because after i took it all apart i seen someone wrote some numbers on the inside of it only place that does that is at junkyards and maybe from the manufacturer im not sure.

On a 21hp platinum is exhaust on top or bottom

Should you adjust both rocker arms at top dead center when you set the valves a 4 and 6?

❤

I have a question just had a problem with my 17.5 removed the valve cover and the intake rocker was loose the stud back out and the little cap is missing from the top of the in take valve cant find not in the oil or filter just ordered a new one have you ever had that happen?? Thanks

Great vid , Do you have one for a older flat head design?

Yeah, can't seem to find the specs on my Briggs, just advertisement pages.

Thanks for the video. The valve cove on my B&S 550EX is stuck. Tapping it and grabbing it with large channel locks won't work . How can I remove it ?

How do determine which valve in the intake and which is exhaust?

What is the model of this engine? I have the same exact one! :)

I have the exact same motor but can't find the manual anywhere on the Internet. Could you share where you got your specs?

I went to do this and rotating the flywheel moved my valves just fine. I inserted a dowel (#2 pencil) into the plug hole and the piston didn’t seem to move on either end. I applied a little bit of force and it seemed to move the piston down, but now my flywheel is locked up. What happened and how do I fix it?

Each machine has different numbers how do you get it? Thanks

how do you get the parameters 003. 004. 005. for each different machine Thanks

Hi very interested video. Have you made any videos on failed governor??

I asked you where to get the data to adjust the valve, where should I get it? Thanks

What website did you find that clearance chart?

Gotta love keyboard warriors lol, this gent is explaining things properly,

No gasket or sealer for valve cover?

the correct term is rotate, NOT revolve

Waste of time to find TDC, when 1 valve is fully open the other is fully closed ....set that one then rotate the engine to do the other when fully closed.Easy peasy!

Well now it doesn't run very well at all 😢
