Thank you!

You're the best small engines guy on KZread, hands down.

10 years after your original post, here I am with the exact same mower and the exact same problem. Great video... it's passed the test of time! Thanks!!

Thank you for the video. It helps me adjusting my Briggs and Stratton OHV.

Dony, I just wanted to let you know that this video helped me fix a starting problem that I was having with a Honda knockoff engine on my tiller. One of the rocker arms was so loose that it was off to the side. Thanks so much for all of your wonderful videos. While there are a lot of KZread contributors for small engine repair I know that I can trust what you say. Thanks again. Blessings to you and your family

I'm so glad that you set valves the same way I have done it for 40 years, all this finding TDC and the screw driver in the plug hole is a big waist of time,. That's one big ATTA boy for doing valve adjustments old school style.

Don, And again your videos are the best. No silly music, straight to the point and mostly, you speak VERY clearly . We appreciate your knowledge and mechanical skills greatly. You always stress sagety wjich is always needed around very dangerous equipment. Please keep you videos coming.

I don't have a lawnmower I just find your videos interesting :-)

Thanks!!!! I have this same model of mower and I've been surfing the web, asking repair men, even had it in a repair shop and they never could fix it! After watching your video and 10 minutes I was back in business!! Thanks again!

Thanks for the video. I have the same mower in the SP version, same engine. After some serious internet searching, I found the MTD shop manual for it. It recommends 0.003-0.005" for the intake (top) valve, and 0.005-0.007" for the exhaust (bottom) valve. Your videos have really allowed me to educate myself on maintenance and repair of small engine equipment, to the point that I can help out friends and neighbours to keep their equipment in good shape. We all thank you.

Thank you so much for this video. My dad has the same model and he hit something while cutting his law and the engine was doing major kick backs. I replaced the flywheel key and still major kick backs so o followed this video and now it's running smoothly again.

Your video was a big help! I have a Honda HRZ 216 that wasn't starting. Had good spark and fuel. The valve clearances were way loose. I tightened both to .004 like you did in the video and it purrs like a kitten now! Thanks for posting.

Great video. Right to the point. Simple and easy to understand. Used technique to set valves on Honda GVX engine. Starts with ease now. Thanks so much.

that was the fix for my valves, now my lawnmower is working,and easy to pull over thanks Dony Art in Alberta

Your videos are very helpful and your comments are very helpful also. I think I will start doing some repairs on my lawnmower before the season starts. Thanks for your inspiration.

Hello David, your video is among the best I've seen. Thank you for sharing your knowledge in such an effective way!

Nice job Donny. You make it so simple for your viewers.

The adjusting the valve clearance, you do exactly how I do for years. Not by bringing piston in TDC. Some of these cubcadet engine comes without the auto compression release. What a recoil some time!! Long back I injured my hand. Even now I get pain on my under shoulder. The issue with the push rod guide, I pinch a 8mm nut to oval and brace it to the plate. No engine spares are here in Kuwait. It will last till the life of the engine. Not a quality work. But worked.

I did this on my INTEK V-Twin and it runs nice. Thanks.

Donyboy, You're videos are the best. The detail you give is easy to understand. Thanks for posting these videos.

I did this recently it made a huge difference!

parts list 1.gauges 2.black rtv silicone tools 1.wrenches ALSO check for damaged parts. got it thanks for the video! keep doing a great job Dony!

i have that exact mower and followed ur procedure and i can now start it AND keep my arm intact lol thx again fer another great vid donyboy

I love the video and how easy it was to do that adjustment on the valves and I probably need to check that on one of my mowers. Thanks for the video tip and I will remember it. I hope you and your family have a nice weekend and it isn't cool there yet. We are still having hot days here in Arkansas where you perspire like we did in July.

Thank you so much for ALL of your videos. Thoroughly enjoy them and learning a lot.

I just saw your video and you are a MASTER !!!

Well done sir. Detailed and to the point. Thanks!

really good video mate, thanks muchly

thanks tom!

Great vid as always :)

Many thanks Don.

Darn good video man

hi, this is one way to adjust the valves, in my latest video I do it the way you mentioned. best to follow the manual's recommendations, if it was too hard to pull then I would go to .004

dony, I have seen a lot of your videos and they are absolutely fantastic. Are going to get into dirt bikes at all? We need someone like you in the dirt bike world. thanks for your valuable videos.

thanks man

Thank you!!

Thanks, I didn't realize that!

Have a Smashing weekend!

very good video! on one of my b/s engines I had to go by the method of ccw rotation + 1/4" down stroke of the piston, adjust both tappets there because there must be some thing slightly touching one of the push rod paddles. now it appears to be ok. talk about hard to start I could pick up the whole mower because of the maladjustment, regards

Thanks man I didn't knew this

Smashing tutorial :-)

thanks

wow, i didnt know this was the issue with my riding mower,..... the first crank was always really hard to turn over.. works great now tho thx don!! cheers

Thanks my problem is fixed

Great vid. Something that more people should know how to do. But if they want to set them out at the curb I'll keep picking them up.

Hi Don. Been watching a lot of your older videos. You look a little younger in them 😊. I do like the way you get straight onto to problem with no mucking around. Cheers 🦘🇦🇺

Yes thank you

pretty well yes

merci

That looks and sounds like a pretty decent engine.

yes very similar

Bonjour et merci!

thanks for the great video, I learned something new.

AdirondackNY I have a 139cc engine yard machine it's the same kind you fixed but smaller what is the valve adjustment on it

yes similar

thanks, I will start mentioning tools required for each video

Thank you for this, it was very helpful! Do I have to do this after a fixed period of time?

in general yes for most lawnmowers

That thing is huge!!!!

gr8 vid, I have never had to adjust one on a mower, but good to know, do you have video on a Flathead briggs quantum engine .

You should add, "Solve Snapback - Not Key" to the title. I searched for a solution to my Cub's snapback forever after I found the key in perfect condition until I started to suspect the valve timing and found your video. I did just as you demonstrated and now it is back to operating perfectly. - Tina's Husband Curtis

Heh, good! Aunt may's been wanting me to fix those valves for 3 days now

yes from MTD

Great video! What is the part called you replaced that the pushrods go thru? And do you have to remove the valve rockers to get to it?

Nice an though doc , thought you would put it up on the mo-jack table. Best. TU

you're welcome

Dony i repaired a Troy Bilt here a while back with the same engine.It had a blown head gasket.Went to order 1 and discovered that there were none to be found in the States.I searched the internet with no luck in finding 1.Had my local MTD dealer order it and i finally got 3 months later.Customer was calling like everyday,man it was a pain.The only nice thing about it was it came as a kit which included the head gasket,rocker cover gasket,head bolts,and the valve seal.Just a little story i thought i would share with you.Later

thanks for watching

Another great video Dony ! when i purchase any new mowers , snow blowers or any power equipment the first thing i look at is the engine. I won't buy anything unless it's a trusted brand name like briggs & stratton , kohler etc. it may cost more but in the long run you save money i just don't trust those chineese throw away motors !

I have a tiller that dam near takes your arm off when you start it already checked the key way that was ok do you think it could be valve adjustment to never has been any work to it bought it new about 10 year's ago thanks for your help. Sam

Hi Don! Thanks for the vid, very helpful. I just inherited this model, with no documention. I've been searching online with no luck finding the valve lash gap and the air gap. Thanks for helping with the valves. Do you also happen to know the air gap? It seems like the documentation on this chinese engine is non-existent.

I have a B&S 22 hp V-Twin. Does the same method - of opening one valve on one cylinder while adjusting the other - the same on the V-Twin as the single cylinder?

Great video! I have this same Cub Cadet with the same starting difficulties. Now, there is no starting as I'm dealing with a broken valve. I also have the same damage to the plastic piece. I have a new valve and plastic piece....any advice on having to start this procedure with replacing a valve?

Thank you very much. Is it that easy to do on a Briggs and Stratton 375? My friends has the same complaint. It does try to start and with a lot of pulling it does start. Eventually. Your videos are great tutorials.

When measuring the lash do you push the rocker arm down on the rod (right side from our view). Mine pivots on the nut

WOW!
