I have a briggs &straton intek 26 hp and the compresion seems to be not releasing.what can i do?

If the valves are adjusted too loose, the compression release will not work, and will make starting the engine difficult. I believe the clearance is supposed to be .005". If the clearance is too large, the 'bump' on the cam will not move the valve off its seat when cranked slowly, and compression will make the engine hard to crank over.

After reading similar problems, I think I need to adjust my valves on my 20hp intek with ohv. I just don't know procedure for this. I have the valve covers off and not sure what to do next?

Hi and welcome to FixYa. I am Kelly. Down load the manual below and first see page 104. Then go to page 24 for the adjustment procedure.

ON MY 24HP ELS-725 OHV MOWER VERY HARD TO CRANK, HAVE INSTALLED CAR BATTERY AND OEM BS STARTER, TO NO AVAIL, IS THERE A WAY TO CHECK ENG TIMING

Could be timing but also could be the compression release isn't working. I'd download a manual from the Briggs & Sratton web site http://www.briggsandstratton.com/maint_repair/manual_and_more/

reset the valves to specifications by gaping them all to .008 thousands The vibration will continuely make the gap wider causing this problem to get worst. Gap the valves is recommeded every other year

17HP Briggs Intek engine ran good then quit. Now

Intake and exhaust valves need adjustment. Intake .004, exhaust .012.
look for wear or loose rocker arm bolt before adjusting valves.

Set valve clearance at.004 on intake and exhaust.Sounds more like a weak starter or battery.Forty years in small engine repair.I own a briggs twenty six horse extended series engine,it started doing the same thing three months after I bought it,had a defective starter,they don't build em to last anymore
