[SEL] Briggs Question

[Bill Dickerson]

I have a good supply of decent used B&S valves for the lower HPs, so if you
ruin one, not to worry - I'd send you a replacement. (assuming I can find
them in the loft)

As was said - a little at a time. Remove the valve, grind a tad off the end,
slip the valve into place, remeasure, and adjust accordingly.

Bill

Clearence for the aluminum block is .005 to.007 intake and .009 to.011
exhaust You measure with a feeler gauge. Grind the ends till you have the
required clearences. please, a little at a time. It will run if you take to
much, but it will be noisy
