first thing I did was check oil, a woman owns it...it was clean.

mower is an 09 and has not run in 3 years. it still looks new.
SOMEONE had to have adjusted them. the broken screw on the valve cover??? not from the factory.....I hope.

cam wear would loosen them up. bent push rod would loosen them up.

rocker adjusters were tight

It runs for about 10 sec, bad float needle, and it sounds fine. no knocking, no rattles.

I just thought this was very odd and had to share.


it seems like B&S is wasting $$$. there are SO many variations of basically the same engine.
its not like they are making improvements. all the $$ just in different carbs, that cant be practical. how many do you need for a 13hp engine??
