[SEL] Briggs Question

[jlb94 at juno.com]

Hi List.
I need some "expertise".

I have a 3 HP Briggs that belongs on a Roto-Tiller "Roto-Ette".

I can't get it started because I feel there ain't enough compression.

I took off the head - The valves are working and the cylinder wall looks
good.

If I put my hand over the piston and turn the pulley, there's lots of
compression at the piston.

I went to clean up the valves with a little compound and found that the
intake valve is NOT closing tight.  The exhaust valves IS.

Everything seems to be okay with the valves but I cannot understand why
the Exhaust valve will not seat all the way.  

Question - - - How do you adjust the valves on a Briggs & Stratton ???

Joe "Pip" Betz said that.
