Jeff I love the color of the mower in back ground

[@jeffslawnmowerrepairandservice]

me too!

[@kenbrothertn1017]

I got my calibrated wrist from Harbor freight, so....... 😮😅 Got my mower going again because of your video. Thanks, brother.

[@jeffslawnmowerrepairandservice]

Great job!

[@abezarate6938]

Love the scare crow powered by springs!

[@tedthornton7791]

Full choke will require more from the battery as well. I prefer gradually engaging choke while cranking over when choke is used. Good info sir. Cool stuff. Good therapy. Lol😊

Very helpful video. Thanks for making it!!

[@jeffslawnmowerrepairandservice]

Glad it was helpful!

[@regalbowman3143]

Very well explained

[@nicolabooth6075]

Hi Jeff, you can set the valve without having to find TDC, all you do is turn over the engine until say the intake valve is fully open so the exhaust valve will be fully closed and then you can set the exhaust valve lash and then do the same for the intake valve but before you do anything make sure that when you turn over the engine that the exhaust valve bumps open just before TDC, if it doesn't then the automatic decompressor on the cam is shot and it will need a new cam to work correctly

[@cj8172]

That's very interesting what you said about the cam and auto decompressor, I didnt know anything about that. I'm in the process of trying to save an old Toro ride on mower that's been broken down and left outside for many years. When the spark plug is out, the engine turns over ok but when the spark plug is back in there seems to be a hard spot as the piston comes up which is even stopping the starter motor from moving.

[@brandonbaker4930]

On a 19.5 Briggs and Stratton there is only one valve cap when adjusting the valves.. which valve does this go on the intake or the exhaust

[@jeffslawnmowerrepairandservice]

I can't remember, a parts diagram should show you.

[@CarlosSantana-me5fb]

Hola te escribo desde Uruguay tengo problemas con uno de esos le puse bovina nueva carburador nuevo bujia nueva acente valvulas las regule el punto esta correcto el arvol de leva esta con el descomprimidor sano y me da contra explosión por el carburador y en un punto antes q el piston llegue al punto muerto superior se frena el motor.me puedes ayudar?

[@jeffslawnmowerrepairandservice]

Asegúrese de que las válvulas estén ajustadas correctamente y que suban y bajen como se supone que deben hacerlo. Verifique que las guías de válvulas estén en su lugar, a veces se salen. Compruebe si hay varillas de empuje dobladas. Inspeccione la chaveta del volante, asegúrese de que no esté cortada. Verifique el nivel de aceite y asegúrese de que no haya gas en el compartimiento de aceite debido a un carburador con fugas. Los carburadores baratos a menudo no funcionan correctamente. Utilice carburador original y reconstrúyalo. Buena suerte amigo

[@CarlosSantana-me5fb]

@@jeffslawnmowerrepairandservice muchas gracias ya verifique todo eso carburador es original y la bobina también pero no funciona puede ser q le hayan puesto un arvol de levas q no es de ese motor o son todos iguales de este motor briggs stratton?

[@user-je2zg6sq6s]

How come when u turn you're engine by hand u barely can spin it

[@jeffslawnmowerrepairandservice]

too much pressure in the cumbustion chamber

[@chris.eskimo]

Bent feeler guage will not give an accurate measurement.

[@jeffslawnmowerrepairandservice]

I do not use the part of the gauge where the bend is

[@donniefritchey3906]

you better do some research the intake valve is on top and the exhaust is on the bottom

[@jeffslawnmowerrepairandservice]

No it is not

[@CerebralAilment]

You can clearly see the exhaust port next to the exhaust valve lol

[@jamesbenton1346]

All I can tell u is intake push rod is made of aluminum intake is the bottom
