I know the lash has to be set cold. Heres how I am doing it . Stick feeler gauge in between the top of valve and the rocker arm. Tighten it up until it is just tight on the gauge, pull gauge out and tighten 1/4 turn past, as per the briggs and stratton dealer.
I can always tell though if I got it too tight or not enough. Not enough makes the engine try to start but sputter but too tight makes it way too hard to pull over and it wont run at all.
Now correct me if how I am setting the lash wrong, or if someone can tell me another method to preform.
I guess If the dealer said go 1/4 turn more then its prolly right....but, then it wont have any lash, and it will have pre load??? Right? Ive never been in a B&S, just basing off the ole hot rod days so I may be in the wrong.
