Adjust valves, Bolens 450E lawnmower (Briggs and Stratton engine)

In this video, i adjust the valves on my 2018 Bolens 125cc 450e push mower (model 11A-020W765). It has a Briggs and Stratton engine (model 08p502-0047-f1).
You would want to do this if you have a hard time pulling on the starter rope, your engine starts making unusually loud noises and/or you start burning more oil than usual.
*Adjustment (starts 3:45)

Good video! Lots of stuff about 450e carb cleanouts but this vid is one of the rare ones showing valve adjustment. 👍

Good one

I buy none running ones and fix them up for resale, the 20 inch and 22 sale very fast if they look ok and for sure a new blade
I rebuild every carb on all of them

How much u sell for?

[@suongle5290]

how do you know the metric of the gauge to adjust for a lawn mower Thanks

[@GiordanosGarage]

Hi! I looked it up online--in the user manual.

[@suongle5290]

how do you know the number of 006 and 003 gauge to adjust for this Lawnmower Thanks

[@GiordanosGarage]

Hi! I looked it up online in the owners manual.

[@paulgrover6255]

Why can't you keep one running it crank up running a minute and cut off

[@GiordanosGarage]

Hi! Not sure what you mean by keep one running? Best case scenario your engine will run rough if valves clerences aren't correct... worst case scenario you'll bend your valve stems and need to replace them.

[@philliphall5198]

Carb dirty and there’s a screen in tank

[@prdss2000]

both adjustment at the top dead center?

[@GiordanosGarage]

Yep, TDC of the compression stroke!

[@sawyerbennett8227]

Lol scratching your piston is perfectly fine

[@GiordanosGarage]

It can cause further damage to your piston during combustion.

[@Luciano-jg5ws]

He's touching the tip of the piston not the side.

[@nardi-yo6544]

Way to much talking bro. It shouldn't take 12 minutes to adjust the valves also only Americans use feeler gauges. Its not hard

[@GiordanosGarage]

Thanks for watching! I do also say you can use a business card. I'd love to know what you use!

[@hopfrogy3773]

I agree it wasn’t straight to the point, but there are older people who have trouble with this typa stuff and will need it to be more specific
