Need some help please on my Briggs and Stratton 23hp V-twin
- Model 445577
- Type 0755 E1
- Code 061129 YG
Despite having a fully charged battery, working solonoid, and working starter, my engine is reluctant to turn over. When I turn the key it tries to turn but is obviously inhibited, feeling like somehow there is resistance in the system. It turns over fine if I remove the plugs
I've done a little research and it seems that the likely issue on my 5 year old machine (around 500 hours) is compression release. My understanding is that it is normal practice to adjust the valves, but to be honest I have never done this at service, and have limited myself to changing the oil, filters and greasing
I'd be really grateful if any of the experts out there could walk me through the procedure please. I'm reasonably handy, but not an expert
