The ACR rod that you were showing has the round side that sticks out from the low side of the cam lobe when it is retracted, or spinning slowly. The extra hump on the low side of the cam lobe created by the ACR rod sticking up opens the valve slightly on the compression stroke in order to release some of the compression and allow it to spin easier. When the engine starts and the gear starts spinning at normal engine RPM, the weight on the ACR moves outward because of centrifugal force, rotating the small shaft and causing the flat part to align with the cam lobe and the extra hump goes away. That way when the engine starts, the valve follows the normal cam lobe profile and is closed completely during the compression stroke and creates normal compression for maximum power when the engine is running.

That’s correct, what he was saying just wasn’t making any sense to me 😂.

Great job Henry! The heat has everything slowed down, great job Henry 👍👍

This old man is staying out of the heat , but I'm still doing my part time air conditioned driving job still two days a week tho.

The intake takes in air and gas so it'll be on the carburetor side, exhaust blows it out so it's on the muffler side. Intake carburetor, exhaust muffler. I had a problem figuring it out but now its easier when I think of it that way. Same thing when you're setting valves .

When applying rtv gasket I always make sure both surfaces are completely clean with no old material or oil on them. Hand tighten bolts initially, then torque down an hour, or next day, depending upon what rtv is used.

The gasket was in good shape on the sump side, cleaned block side and added a small layer. My impact is rated at 18.5 ft lbs which is almost the torque specs

Make sure to use some blue lock tight on those sump bolts to keep them from backing out especially the ones around the flywheel cause if they back out during use the engine will be destroyed people give the courage engine a bad name long as you do proper maintenance oil change keep a check on those sump bolts make sure they don't back out they last just as long as a crappy Briggs & Stratton 🥴

Henry, the difference in the carburetor backing plates is 1 is fo17, 18, or 19 hp, with the throat restrictor and it other is for a 20HP and up.

So the 20HP and up version do not have a restrictor at all??? I ask because I have seen two versions. One has a solid restrictor built into the carb backing plate ( one single piece as seen in this video). The other version is just a backing plate by itself( also seen in this video) and the restrictor is a single piece which is inside the intake hole. This restrictor is hallow. Is this the restrictor on the 20HP and up versions.????
