not overhead

Felt like it had compression when I first pulled the rope. I reinserted the valve seat and pinged around it. It started up and runs fine. Is this just a temporary fix, or will it last for a while?

I just took the head off and the intake valve seat had popped out. Can that be fixed ?

I used an inline spark tester. Just did compression test, showed 0 zero. needle did not move.

Tried spraying starter fluid through carb, didn't do anything. Have not done compression test yet.

Was just given a Toro self-propelled mower with a 190 cc briggs motor. Guy said it stopped running while he was mowing. Has compression and spark, makes a popping sound. Checked and the flywheel key is good, not even off a little bit. Could it be the plastic cam lobe moved on the cam shaft...

I gave up on that motor. I picked up a rusted out mower with a good motor and swapped it over. Thanks for all the advice.

yes, has the metal tab, moving it doesn't change rpm when it is running slow after it is hot. It increases rpm when the motor is cold.

I don't think the linkage is not the problem. It runs fine when it is started when it is cold. The running slow only happens when the motor is warm.

Checked the fuel line, getting good flow. Had previously cleaned the tank. Replaced the thermostat on the exhaust with another used one, no change. Think I will give up at this point. Maybe use as a parts mower. Thank you everyone for all the suggestions.

Sorry, haven't been able to get a video loaded. It started up fine and mowed today, about half way through the yard it popped a couple times and died. When restarted it just ran slow.

Swapped the carb for one from a good running mower. Mowed the yard fine. But when shut off it would not restart. After sitting for about 10 minutes it would start but would only run slow, never went to full speed. I have a video of it running slow, will try to post it.

Sorry that it took so long. Busy Day

no primer. will try to get pics tomorrow

Picked up a $20 Toro 20334 with b&s 190cc 128T02-3125-B1. Would not start. Cleaned carb in ultrasonic cleaner, cleaned gas tank, new air filter and changed plug. Started on 2nd pull sounded good. Mowed my yard, when I stopped to empty the bag it would not start again. Removed gas cap in case...
