So as a update I adjusted the valves to intake 4 thousandths and exhaust to 6 thousandths. Noticed there was no spark. Checked key again replaced it. Tried to start and still no spark. Disconnected the kill wires . Fired right up and ran beautiful. No backfire, no popping nothing. I...

I did not. Like you said I am impatient. I am so tired of screwing with this thing. I do need to take a break from it. I will try it again on Wednesday (tomorrow going to bone yard and Tuesday supposed to rain). I will try to check the carb when I try to start it. This motor hasn't...

I am beginning to think I have 2 separate problems. After I adjusted valves again it sounded nice on trying to start. No backfire. It still wouldn't start. Had no spark now. Pulled flywheel again check key and flywheel. All good. Cleaned up flywheel from any residual rust. Put back together...

Only manual I have is one with parts listed and ignition wire diagram and alternator with splicers.

It only happened once. I probably didn't gap it. I think my problem is wrong gap in valves. I've set them to 4 thousandths and run engine and they are way out either too loose or too tight. I've spun the motor till the piston is all the way up. I think even though I do that it's not top...

Still working on the Briggs. I was just saying the wire harness I used was Kohler.

I do have a few things going through my head though. 1. After I put the carb back on, it ran for a few minutes I was even able to move it. Had no power at all. So next morning I checked the valves and they were tight with no play so I adjusted them. Tried to run and in starting it I ended up...

Oh the mower still runs like crap. In wiring the motor when I changed it I used the Kohler sv600 motor wire. Only thing is the color wires and swapped from what they should be. On the Kohler the fuel solenoid is a white wire and oil switch is green. Should be fuel solenoid green and oil white.

Nevermind I answered my own question

Dumb question what would happen if the oil pressure wire and fuel solenoid wire gets crossed

I. I'll let you know afterwards what happened with it

Gotcha

Even though it ran last night for a few minutes. Had no power and died as I was trying to give it gas to move back to where I had it

Adjusted valves again as they were tight. Clean the spark plugs again. Tried to start it and had lots of backfire through the carb. Even had flames at one time. I tried to check compression but my compression gauge is off. Left Bank was about 180 and the right bank was about 210. I gotta...

Everything I am finding for that engine (model 407777-128-1e) says 150 foot lbs
