| Let me start from the beginning. I have a 18.5 hp B&S engine model 42a707. It was leaking oil onto the drive belt from the sump gasket. Removed the engine and replaced the sump gasket. After mounting on the chassis I tried to start the mower and it will not start. I have spark, I am getting fuel to the carb. Engine cranks just fine have gotten a pop or 2 from the engine but just doesn't want to start. Doesn't even sound close to starting. |

| You have evidently gotten the timing gear out of time! Easy to do when reassembling after opening the case. I use a piece of masking tape, or heavy thick wheel-bearing grease to hold the cam in place, then carefully lower the sump into position! |

| Thank you. The timing was out |
