Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): b&s 11hp model 252707-0621, merry christmas and happy new year, holiday wishes


Question
I know why engine was hard turning over. Intake valve gap
was at .016. Am correcting. Will do a follow up as to what
you suggested with carb. Could .016 gap with intake valve
caused all my problems?
PS
I hope you and family had a wonderful Thanksgiving and I hope
you too have a blessed Christmas and New Year.
