Engine Valves

[fireman9513]

Hi, I have a cub cadet 1050 with the Kohler courage 23 HP engine.
Id like to know what the valve lash for exhaust and intake should be set at.
I am having problems with mine blowing back through the intake so im sure the intake valve is not right.
Thanks in advance.

Finally got around to working on mower yesterday after working on everyone else's mowers, work, and fighting fires!
Valves were way to tight, adjusted them and now she runs great!
I just hope this Kohler courage engine holds up for a few more. Years!
