Hard starting Briggs & Stratton 3.0 hp lawnmower engine
On the early Briggs, that means pulling the head, and then
using special equipment to get the spring ends back on. -- Christopher A. Young Learn more about Jesus www.lds.org .. "The Daring Dufas" wrote in message ... I've worked on a lot of standby generators with small engines and one of the problems with older engines that have accumulated a lot of hours is valve seat wear. The valve recedes into the head decreasing clearance at the end of the valve stem. You can actually heat up such an engine with a propane torch and the expansion of the metal parts will allow it to start easily. If you can adjust the valve clearance, I do believe your engine will start easily again. TDD |
