The lawn mower don't want to start because of two much comp. So I would like to know how to adjust the vales . Thank you
Use a business card for the gap get the valves all the way up loosen the nut on the rocker arm snugg rocker arm bolt til you have slight resistance pulling the card out tighten nut while holding bolt

these are common for doing this ,if you dont want to pull it down and hone the cyl. then i would use a heavier oil say 20w/50and that will probabley solve your problem
SOURCE: Engine starts but won't stay running
an easy way to know that is to start engine and give it a shot of starting fluid ,if you can keep it running by this method I would replace diaphragm.

Shouldn't need adjustment for 2200'. If engine is cold, always start with full choke. Perhaps the battery is defective (or just old) and not supplying enough current for hot spark while cranking. Make sure fully charged before attempting to start.
I am sure there is support/service available from Sears for a new mower.
Good luck!

You will need to replace or clean the air filter, and probably the spark plug. Do not operate the mower for some hours to allow the oil drain (inside the engine). Check oil level and fill it if necessary. Some oil remaining in the exhaust should be burnt next time the lawnmower operates.You will see smoke at the beginning, that will be normal (burnt oil). Hope this helps!

to check for firing remove the spark plug insert it in the plug boot and pull the rope while watching to see if the plug sparks be carefull not to touch the plug electrode while pulling the rope or it will shock you. If you don't have a spark, try a different plug. If still no spark the coil could be bad.
