Old Tecumseh valve question

[adamTC]

So I ran to my garage and turned the flywheel few more turns but the valves still not moving.... . It looks to me the valve lifters are disengaged to the camshaft for whatever reasons. I'll wait till the necessary parts come in to open up the engine see what the real story there is.

wrong way round.
Flip the engine upside down and pull the sump off.
Then look at what is there and order what you need.
No good buying parts now only to find the crank is kaput when you pull it down.
