Possibletells me it is compression relief spring bad
There are 2 TDC strokes in a 4 smoke engine. Just stating the obvious. Talking valve adjustments here. One valve open or pushed down into the block/head, adjust the opposite valve. Rotate engine, same recipe for the other valve/s.when you turn via hand past top compression the engine will turn over and start, stop engine then it will not go past tdc, new battery. valves readjusted.
