the valves

Did you try putting a teaspoon of fuel in through the spark plug hole?

the valves

There's a point; do you have good coompression?

 

[Konman1994]

Could be the idle screw also look up videos about engine starting problems if you haven't already the valve springs shouldn't be messed up unless you messed with them before. Also the gaskets on the carb could be on wrong( backwards or upside down) try to see if the holes on the carb match up with the holes on the gasket. The gasket is a thin piece of papery material That seals the gap between the carb and the air filter and the carb and the motor.

yes i tried putting a teaspoon of gas in the spark plug hole already and still no start...how do i check the valves?

i havent messed with the engine at all as far as i know...i might definetly need new gaskets tho they are kind of craking already but would the gaskets keep it from staring or even cranking..?

If you have a kill switch disconnect it and tape the ends.
Try again...

but he knows he has spark it would be no need to do this because he wouldn't be doing any thing except braking the kill switch

what should i try next???...can it be the valves causing trouble and not allowing it to start

Yes it could be as I mentioned in the first post of this thread but other people said that it wasnt the valves and what do you know were back to the valves.

 

[bjj]

how would i go bout fixing the valves or even checking to see if thats the problem..?

 

[cumminsbayou4x4]

pull the valve cover off of it they cover were it says OHV on it then find out what specs the valves should be set at look on line for that and get a feller gauge to adjust them does it have good comprsion just by pulling it over is it kinda hard to pull or is it really easy

 

[bjj]

thanks for your help i will check in the morning

 

[bjj]

so i would have to get the valves rebuild is there a kit for that?... or can they be fixed

Are they bad is the question. its not often the valves are the culprit. Especially on a Tecumseh.Too many other things would have gone wrong first.

Unless maybe the rocker came out of place. or you broke a Valve spring. it would need some serious abuse to damage them.

Does the engine have good compression and flow out of the
exhaust?

 

[bjj]

ok so i remived the valve cover today and the springs seem to both be pretty stiff but as for the metal pieces on top of each sprig one is loose compared to the other side heres a pic..

Yeah they should be fairly night with alittle move. You will have no compression if one is loose.

the springs arent loose whats loose is one of the small bracket looking things positioned on top of the spring

 

[OzFab]

the small bracket looking things positioned on top of the spring

Those are called rockers. You will notice, on the other end are pushrods which connect to the camshaft; that's how the valves open & close.

With the engine at top dead centre on the compression stroke, there should be a small amount of movement on both rockers; your job is to find out how much...

try googling your engine. example, Tecumseh carb, or valve cover, etc. that should give you a good idea on where stuff is and what it looks like.

ok thanks for advice on rockers...one of them seems fine with no play in it and the other seems almost loose ..how would i adjust them??
