How do you set timing on 14 horse Briggs over head valve engine. I took it apart to check if there was any damage when stator broke. Thanks Joey!

Unless someone has changed all the technology, it is still done by aligning the key seat in the shaft with the key way in the flywheel and placing the flywheel on the shaft with the key inserted and aligned with both. Torque the nut to specs.

I think senior citizen has it right. Do tractor engines simply run at the static setting,TDC? Good question for dealers to answer.

If all he took off was the flywheel there is only ONE way it goes back on.

I would think that the big question would be: What broke the stator?????

Would have helped right from the start if you would have said you removed the crank or cam.
