greetings I have GCV 160 Mower. My model is GJAE-4310443 S3a
This will not start:
Spark- yes with tester and just plug against ground
Compression- 65-70
New Carb (that was fun)
Brake on
Valves adjusted 6 intake 8 exhaust (think i got it right Set them when both were jigggling and when kind of a lobe on the black gear is at the top)
Spraying starting fluid into intake and spinning with drill I will get a pop after 10-20 seconds spinning
Same if putting some fuel in plug hole.
The symptoms are the same prior to valve adjustment. I do notice that the part hitting the rocker does not seem to be centered. Thinking maybe bent push rod?
Also I put inspection cam down plug hole. Piston is really covered in carbon. Hard to see walls but do have compression.
Just wondering what you guys think before I decide to tear down some more.
Thanks
Ralph
