Wont turn over completely. Struggles to get through compression stroke. New battery. Spins fine with plug out. It acts like the valves need adjusting, but I don't have the specs to adjust them. Or something else is causing too much compression.

I'll look into that. Thanks for the info. I'm sitting down to supper. I've been outside all day. Our first 80+° day, and no rain!

I just put it to bed for the evening. I'll do that tomorrow, weather permitting. I'm in the midwest, so there are no guarantees this time of year. Ha!

Internet says model and serial for tractor should be on left side on frame. Don't see it there. Ive been looking online for days, and near as I can tell, the model number is 1692975. The manual for that looks just like this one, but doesn't give me an engine number. It has a 38" deck. 14hp B&S...

I have an older simplicity regent (1997 I was told) won't start this year. Tries to turn over, but won't. I think the valves need adjusting, but the tag with the engine number is missing. The rivets are there....no tag. Is there any other way to find the engine number so I can look up valve...
