If you cannot get the specs from on line or from a service agent , generally the following apply:-
water cooled engines
inlet hot .010"--exhaust hot .012"
for air cooled engines inlet hot .012"-- exhaust hot .014"

Testimonial: "What about when the engine is cold for like a rebuild situation?"

  • Bill Boyd Aug 31, 2015

    the dimensions I gave will allow the engine to start or prestart setting cold
    as the valve stem length increases with heat the tappet clearance will decrease and as all valves expand at various rates the setting is always given as a hot setting
    set them at the .010" and .012" cold setting cold and when the engine is at operating temperature check and reset if necessary to the hot setting

I need valve clearance for Sportsman 7000 generator 18hp please

Edited for clarity and moved from Cars to Generators.

Valve clearance goes by the engine, not by the generator maker. They are usually Briggs and Stratton, Honda or Kawasaki.

What are the valve lash specs for 2007 Honda Accord V6?

There is a specific procedure for setting valve clearance . I highly recommend getting a repair manual for the correct specs & procedure. The engine must be at TDC with the #1 cylinder on the compression stroke , that will allow you to adjust ONLY certain valves , then you have to turn the engine one turn to TDC again only now #1 will be on the exhaust stroke & the rest of the valves can be adjusted . it's important that you know the difference between the two !

How do I adjust the valves on a Briggs and Stratton Intek V Twin

Remove the valve covers look up your valve clearance specs turn the engine by hand until the piston is at top dead center then go 1/4 turn past that and then put a feeler gage for the valve clearance you need for that valve and snug up the adjustment nut. Check your oil when your done some oil will spill out when opening the valve cover.

Have a 20hp vanguard on a go-devil long tail motor. engin runs at idle speed then when i put the propeller into the water it stalls. if i pull the choke and give full throttle it will run some and backfire

These engines seem to have problems maintaining the correct valve lash settings. try taking the valve covers off and checking the valve/pushrod clearance.on tdc compression stroke it should be .001-.003 clearance. then check exhaust stroke tdc on exhaust stroke. clearance should be same on the other valve then. hope this cures your problem.

B&S V-Twin 24 hp has done 150 hrs and has now started to backfire a lot. Engine starts well

Take off the valve covers and check the valve lash. @ tdc on compression stroke then same on exhaust stroke the clearance between the rocker and valve should only be .001 to.003 in.Carefully adjust to this tolerance,may cure your problem. seems this is a common problem.
