Hi,
I know that when the valves are set too loose on the motors ( 18.5 Briggs OHV single cylinder ,verticle shaft ) that it makes it hard for the starter to turn over kinda like the battery is weak . I know all the other things that can cause this problem to like bad battery , bad connections , bad cam , et. , but what if the valves are too tight ? Can it still act this way ? I normally set the valves on .oo4 thousandths and that didn't fix it . I then set them on .003 thousandths and still same problem . I changed the starter and tried two different starters , same problem . I didn't reset the valves back up to .004 thousandths , left them on .003 thousandths when I did this . Neither starter changed anything , same problem . I know battery is good as it is about a year old and is 400 CCA and started my 20 hp dual cylinder OHV vertice shaft Kohler motor . What are the symptoms / problems of valves being too tight in these motors ? How can you definitely tell if the cam is bad ? It's looking like it, but I don't want to tear into motor unless I have too ! Thanks for any and all help !

In July of 1998 I was talking to fellow Allis Chalmers collector Mike Schilling about the annual "Gathering of The Orange" AC show coming up in August of 1999. He got this wild idea that we should get a convoy of AC tractors and drive them from Charlotte, Michigan 105 miles to LaGrange, Indiana.
