How do you check valve clearance on Briggs Straton 14.5 hp eng?

In: Miscellaneous Small Engines

[Edit]

You purchase a Briggs & Stratton repair manual, and go from there.

Remove the valve covers and using the appropriate feeler guage rotate the crank until each valve is in the fully closed position and slide the feeler between the rocker arm and the valve stem. Adjust until the feeler fits snugly but can still slide in and out by loosening the jam nut on the rocker and turning the adjusting nut. You need to hold the adjusting nut still while you tighten the jam nut.
