I just put one in to find out the head gasket is gone to. I just cant catch a break I guess

Damn it mister

 

Okay try this:

You're going to need a wrench. 9/16 will do fine.

I'm thinking maybe like a half used roll of duct tape as well.

 

You take one of those items in each hand.

Hold them overhead and crouch down just a little bit.

Okay now you need to jump around from one leg to the other and flail your arms every which way but loose. Turning in circles also helps.

 

 

Practice that for about three or five repetitions and then add some sort of loud incomprehensible noises.

Well I have to say there was some fairly colorful words being said out here. But not all is lost just delayed. A trip to my parts stash (dwindling quickly)and I'm back in action. I'm gonna have a running engine today come hell or high water.

Some of the less-expensive Briggs and Stratton engines have plastic cam lobes that will give you those symptoms.  I've had many 6-8 hp vertical shaft engines suffer from that.  It is an easy fix, but not always the cheapest so a different engine may be a better option.  If so, my vote is for a V-twin Briggs.

I had no idea!  Plastic cam lobes!

Plastic timing gears too.

[Oldskool 6,644]

Has anyone ever used this stuff? Holy crap it works good. You can literally just spray the gunk away. Before and after pics. No rubbing or scrubbing.

I think I paid 8 bucks a can. Big can though. Also when the can was empty it was empty it didnt run out of propellant first.

Good thing that's not genuinely irritating or anything.

Since it is mostly gasoline and alcohol, just buy a gallon of E-10 for less than $3.00 a gallon.

Off course gasoline is a blend.  Could add some toluene from Lowes or most hardwares.  And pure heptane can be sourced.
