18 hp ohv Briggs hard to start

juggernautyb
12 years ago

Can you please tell me the proper valve clearance for an 18 hp ohv Briggs (31h777 �0202 e1. �030603za)

I gave it throttle and it shut off immediatly. Now it is hard to start and usually starts only when I manually turn the flywheel to a certain point. Now it idles too high. Do I have a valve problem or piston rings problem? Thanks
