All Briggs engines should be adjusted 1/4" passed TDC.

OK. Got it! :)

I think they were too "tight". This time I started it up with the cover off, and it seems to be running better than before. These engines are pretty sensitive on the valve adjustments, and that 1/4 past TDC. I kept cycling it and feeling with the screwdriver to try and get it right. Think I'm about .005 on the intake and .0010 on the exhaust. Thanks!
