Hello from Houston,
I have a Huskee riding mower that I am working with an 18.5 Twin Briggs engine. I am just changing seals and gaskets to stop oil leaks, not sure which one is leaking so am changing all. The gasket kit came with different thicknesses of base gaskets for crankshaft end play adjustment (I am assuming). I measured before removing the base and was .017". What is it supposed to be?
What might cause the motor to be very hard to start after it gets hot? It seems if I adjust the throttle just right it might start back up 10% of the time but most of the time it wont, I have to let it cool first. I thought it might be the coil because the spark seems weak but the guy at Als says the coils either work or they dont, no inbetween.
Thanks, Kevin
