Question -
I installed the cam in my 12 horse vertical briggs after my rod broke.I lined up the dots on the cam and crank. is this correct? it wont start,fires every once in a while like it is out of time.I appreciate any help you could give me

Answer -
 Hello Greg:

 I have to say yes. Did you Reseat the Valves? What is the Valve Lash? Did you Deglaze the Cylinder Wall? Did you Check the End Gap of the Rings? When the Cam broke there was a reason for it. Why was the Cam Defective? Why was it Replaced. The Cam may have been Caused by the actual problem. Let me know more and I feel I can help you complete this project.

 Good Luck

Answer
 Hello Greg:

 You did a major Overhaul of this engine. It sounds like a common problem. Pour some Oil into the Cylinder and Try to start the engine. The Rings aren't seating enough to give full compression. About 2oz is enough. Hope this Helps.

 Good Luck
