I just recentley did a tune up of my briggs and stratton 24hp intek ohv Vtwin.
While doing that i decided that the valves needed to be adjusted to since somtimes i had to manually turn the engine to get the starter to turn the engine, It would take almost a whole battery to get it started.
I took the valve cover off on the right side (if you're sitting on mower and looking forward at the engine) Adjusted the valves to what they should be, i then took the left valve cover off and noticed that one of the push rods was not in the rocker arm, so i stuck back in place and adjusted the valves, i started the motor up and ran it for about 10 mins and i noticed the side that had the push rod off wasn't as warm as the other side, so i then started the engine and pulled the spark plug wire on the good side, engine died right away, i then tried to start it with the bad side spark plugged wire only hooked up while the good side was un hooked, it would not fire one bit, i took the spark plug off and put my finger over the hole and i was getting compression. The push rod were not bent but the one that was off the rocker arm i was able to pull out (not sure if this is suppose to happen or what) After replacing it the valves both seem to move fine. I noticed after putting the push rod back in place and adjusting the valves the lawn mower started a lot quicker.
I am sorta limited on money so buying any new parts are prolly a no go.
Before i adjusted the valves and put the push rod back in place, i noticed the compression stroke on the bad side was a little hard which is normal if valves our out of adjustment and the other side was much easier.
I have no compression checker so i can't check the compression in either cylinder unless someone has a different way i can check it without having to purchase one.
I would like to get this issue fixed before i have to mow my lawn again which is prolly somtime next week, i do not want to have to mow my lawn on 1 cylndiner, not sure if ti's bad for it but it can't be good for it either
Here is the engine info.
Model: 445677
Type: 0413 E1
Code: 050215YG
My question is, how can get get the non working cynlinder working, got brand new spark plugs.
