A few weeks ago I found this forum when searching on info for adjusting the valves on my Craftsman 18.5 HP mower. I got the info I needed, went home and now she fires up perfectly.
I told my father I would help him adjust the valves on his mower because he was having the same problem as mine. Engine will only make one or two rotations, but won't turn enough to crank. It's not the battery or starter. However, I later found out his motor is a 16.5 HP v-twin (B&S 42A707-2238-E1) which is nothing like mine. I'm looking for instructions on how to adjust the valves. Any help or advice will be appreciated.
