Ok, Ive adjusted the valves 10 times and same result. Turns over fine without the spark plug in it with the key, but put the plug back in and it only makes one revolution. I'm not sure what to do. I used the same youtube video I used when I did the headgasket on the last Briggs I worked on.

Any suggestions? I read somewhere about a decompression valve or something. I'm not afraid to open this motor up as I have done it before on another Briggs. Just don't want to waste my time til I know for sure.
 
Ok which video are you watching for a valve adjust ?? I am like a cat and I'm curious.... LOL

Are the rocker arms moving ALL the way with the valves when you turn it by hand to make sure the push rods are in the right place ???

Yes the ACR just might be all over in the sump and you don't have any compression release at all... Years ago we used to jump with a huge diesel battery to really have the amps to turn that HARD to start engine over.... If the rods were moving like they should then we knew that a ACR was messed up.........

Let us know Mon Ami ~!~!
