The Common Briggs Intek Problem: Your Riding Mower Won't Start. Broken Compression Release on Cam

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

So, why won't your riding mower turn over? I'll show you how to first diagnose this common Briggs & Stratton Intek camshaft decompression (also called compression release) issue, explain how the decompression cam works and the easy steps to repair it.
When this decompression / compression release part breaks, the symptom is pretty much identical to a weak battery or bad starter - the engine tries, but won't turn over.
What happens now is many people will replace the battery first, then the starter and perhaps even the starter solenoid; only to find out $200+ dollars later, their riding mower Intek engine still refuses to turn over. Welcome to the popular & growing club of Briggs Intek owners who have had a decompression camshaft failure.

    This mechanic is so good and has so much experience that when he sets valve clearances, he knows how to adjust them without without using a whole series of different size feeler gages. A novice should never follow suit until he has at least ten years of experience doing it. T-bone Probably has more like 30 years of experience. And that's why he makes it look so easy. So if you have only done this one or two times, My advice is using a couple of different size feeler gauges. Don't be fooled by T-bone's humility and expertise. He's making everything look easy, Believe me. And, the tricks he shows along the ways are invaluable. Thanks again for another great repair!!! 👍👍👍

So here's a trivia question for you if a motor doesn't have your typical spirograph oil pump. How does oil get slung on the inside to all the critical parts? Is it just momentum? Thanks for the education and the entertainment.😅

    One of mine has the same issue. It was given to me as a parts machine because the owner said the engine was locked up. I quickly figured out that it was a compression issue by the way it was acting. I did a valve adjustment on it, and it fired up and ran great. I used it for a couple of months with no issue, then it was parked for about 2 months. When I came back to start it, it was doing the same thing again. This mower has a bad deck, so I haven't torn into it yet. I recently found a donor mower, so I am going to start tearing it down when my two current projects are finished. I'm thinking the camshaft is probably the issue. It has a Failtek.

That was just painful.Domt know who wrote it or performedm it. Dont care.Its LAME.Worse than Jerry Reed's Smokey and the Bandit. Maybe its just ME? maybe oyher folks Dig listening to cookie cutter music. If so I aplologise to the entire audience. you know your stuff with the engines..But please give us a heads up whrn you start the amateur hour musical torture.so i know to hit the mute.
