How to adjust the valves on a Briggs and Stratton OHV engine

Does your Briggs and Stratton engine turn over slowly?
Does it refuse to ignite?
Do you only hear clicks when you try to start your engine?
Does it seems like the battery is empty?
It can actually more than likely be the valves that are out of sync.
In this video I show you how you easily can adjust the valves yourself.

Hello. I am sorry to hear about your trouble. Unfortunately, I don't have any quick fix for you. Good luck with your work.

Maybe seat the valves ?

[@jrcrosier13]

I know that this is a late reply and don't know if you still have the engine. But more times than not, it'll be the compression release mechanism that has failed. You'll have to replace the camshaft. Just as long as there's no other internal damage.

what does "top dead center" mean?

[@merulafilms7863]

James Hubert Hello. The top dead centre is where the piston is on its top position. :)
