Adjusting valves on 280000 and 310000 series briggs & stratton engines

Adjusting valves on 280000 and 310000 series briggs & stratton engines I have two riding lawn mowers I decided to purchase to start re-learning small engine repair on. One has a 287707 14.5HP and the other has a 31H777 18HP Briggs and Stratton engine. Both are OHV Single Cylinder Series; 280000 and 310000 respectively.

"Hi @jafinch78 ,

Here’s a link to a service manual which covers the B&S 280000 and 310000 series engines.

Scroll to p.101 for the adjustment procedure and p.170 and p.172 for the torque specifications respectively.

Hopefully this is of some help."
