Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): Valve Gap Setting, valve clearance, proper clearance

Question
The engine I have is a Tecumseh engine H50-654999. I am taking a small engine repair course and am rebuilding the referenced engine. I am having a hard time finding the settings specifications for the exhaust intake valve. I'd appreciate it if you could help me.

Answer
Hello Mark:

On this Model Ungine the Valve Stem has to be Lightly Ground Down Until the Proper Clearance is Obtained. Here is a Site Addy for a Valve Clearance Specification Chart for Tecumseh Engines. You can View a Breakdown/IPL of this Engine at this Site Addy, http://www.outdoordistributors.com/ and Select the T. Then Select Tecumseh. Then Select Don't have Part Numbers. Then Enter the Model Numbers. Then Select your Model and Download the File for Online Viewing. If you Hit a Snag or this Does Not Correct the Problem,  I am Here if You Require More Assistance. Hope this Helps. Let me Know What Happens, Please. Thanks.

Good Luck
