| I have a Statesman Riding Lawnmower 16.5 HP Briggs & Stratton motor. I do not know Model Number or year. Looking forhow to release the wiring clip right under full tank, drivers side??? I my motor will not turn over (or at least it does barely) but not enough to crank the lawnmower. Replaced battery, took starter to be checked (good) and now I believe the next thing to check is the "Ground Block" is what I have been told it is. I can't unplug it and don't want to break it. #1...How do I unplus it? 2...what else can my problem be? Nunnboys.com |

| Briggs OHV engines require the valve lash to be in spec for the compression release to function. It's actually considered "normal" maintenance. |

| Valve Lash, how will that not allow the motor to turn over?? and how do I correct that? It does make sense what you are saying because when it did run it always popped and backfired. What should I do ? Thank you so much |

| Posting the actual Model # of the engine is useful so we know exactly WHAT Biggs you have. The Briggs OHV engines typically have a "bump" on the cam lobe that opens one of the valves slightly when cranking to relieve compression. Valves are set with the piston 1/4" past TDC. |

| OMG, I think there is something SERIOUSLY wrong with Garden Web's 'system'. |
