If this motor is for an off road mower/toy, why would you re-install the governor? Would it also benefit from messing with the timing? Very entertaining and informative video, I also have one of these engines on an old international lawn tractor.

This mower is not a off road toy it's a craftsman Indy 500 limited edition they only made about 50 of them so i take it to tractor show's and use it around the farm too

question . . . what does it mean when i hear something kind of like a klanking from the top of the engine at the front ? it is a 18hp engine, it is a horizontal engine, like the one you have. i am hearing a klanking sound from the top front of the mower, that is where the electric pto clutch is. . . is the electric clutch bad ? or is it the govenor going bad? , or is the timing gear slot wollowed out a bit for mew to hear that sound?. kool mower by the way. lol always wanted to see one . i see one once on the sears floor in the mall, but could not arrord it. they wanted 10 k for it. not to mention the accories that was available for it at that time, what torque did you put on the bearing cap bolts ? how did you get the valve cap plates off ??? mine is stuck. what torque is the oil pan bolts ?, i think i might need to check them, and snug them up. . . if need be. what torque is the timing plate bolts ? plz do respond, i need to repair it for a friend.

The noise is probably the clutch hitting the bracket that keeps it from spinning it could be the cam bearings but it's probably the clutch the torque on the rods is 110 inch pound's there is not a torque spec for anything else but I go about 50 inch pound's on the timing cover and the oil pan. if you are taking about the valve keepers that hold the springs you will need a valve spring compressor do you want the part number for the valve spring compressor? I can look it up

Hello is there a way to adjust the valves my engine has a hard start thank you
@rescuerestorerepeat850011 ай бұрын
The only way to adjust the valves is too grind the end of the valve to open the gap

Hi! Where I can text you? I need an advice since I got an opposite 18hp and I can't remember how I should assembly back the intake valve, the order or oil stem spring and retainer.
