I just replaced the sump gasket on a 445777 0168 e1 Intek 25 hp. After mounting the motor back on the frame, it started and ran but stayed at very low rpm. I shut it off after a couple of minutes, and then it wouldn't start without using my hand to get the flywheel past the compression stroke. After a while of doing this, now it doesn't help to move it past the compression stroke either. As soon as the motor hits the compression stroke it doesn't go any further.
I double checked the valves and they were set at .004, however I did not have the piston at 1/4" past TDC, so I am going to recheck them. I followed the youtube video, where he has one valve opened and one closed. If I am thinking correctly, at 1/4 past TDC, you should be able to adjust both valves on a given cylinder, correct?
Also, there is no way the timing was affected if I didn't remove the camshaft or any of the gears in the case when I replaced the sump gasket, is there?
Last, but not least, I did statically set the governor, but I am not sure if I did it correctly. Should I leave the governor link all the way off the governor shaft when I make the static settings, or just make sure there is no tension on it? Hope this makes sense.
Thanks.
