You would think until you see it right in front of your own eyes, like I did. The engine ran, cut grass, but was low on power as the valve was only opening a small amount.

as the valve was only opening a small amount.
What stumps me is if the push rod was severed/broken "what exactly" was pushing/opening that valve even a small amount?

The particular way the push rod broke and the fact that it was held in place limited the amount of sideways travel and the two broken pieces managed to still connect. Wish I took pictures.
Sorry to get back to this so late ( i was out of town ect). Havent had much time to mess with the motor but im gonna contact gxi to see if the motor has a compression release . If not i will pull the push rods and inspect them
