What kind of oil in a22 ton briggs & stratton motor
BRIGGS & STRATTON ENGINES:
For temperatures above 40? F use an SAE30W oil. Using multigrade oil may increase oil consumption. Using SAE 30W oil below 40? F will result in hard starting and possible engine
bore damage. For temperatures below 40 ? F use
an SAE10W-30 or SAE5W-30 oil. Oil capacity for the 6 H.P. engine is approximately 5/8 quart (20 ounces; 0.6 liter).
Refer to Briggs & Stratton engine owner's manual for additional
information.

How to adjust valves on briggs and stratton 17.5
Remove spark plug
Remove cover from engine that covers the flywheel
Remove rockerarm cover or valve cover
Find TDC (top dead center) by rotating the flywheel by hand and your finger over the spark plug hole as you rotate the flywheel you will feel pressure against you finger at some point then stop.
This is the compression stroke it is called now find a long slim round piece of plastic or plastic ink pen to stick in the spark plug hole (If you are careful a slim screwdriver can be used ) and find the piston top, then slowly rotate flywheel again (cw) as the piston is moving up pushing the plastic up as you rotate the flywheel slowly.
a max. piston up or tdc as you turn you will feel and then the piston starts to go the other way,at that transition this is tdc (piston is on top of stroke) leave it there,,both valves should be closed at that point.
Have a feeler gauge and set the exhaust valve at a loose .002 and the intake a loose .004 be sure engine is cold when valves are adjusted
Feeler gauge goes in between the rocker arm tip and valve stem top for each valve setting.
Note the rocker adjustment at the push rod side of each valve by tightening and loosening to make adjustments,lock your adjustments in place and rotate flywheel a few times and recheck settings

Briggs & Stratton 20hp Intek engine over-revving continuously.
Do you have governor adjusted properly? Possibly "PidStu" question, but you'd be surprised how many I've seen. Can you move the governor linkage arm with your fingers or does it seem to be locked in position? If it is locked, it is adjusted improperly.

205cc briggs and stratton snowblower engine surging or hunting
Surging is most often caused by lean air fuel mixture. Older adjustable carbs were easy to dial in by simply following procedure to adjust. Today's non adjustable ones are more challenging first make sure all carb passages are clear and your carb is crud free then if surging persists and carb is equipped with a choke try choking it little by little if it smooths out with choke on you know your air fuel mixture is lean. To fix you will need a set of micro drill bits to enlarge passage in air jet usually located on top of carb near throttle shaft or main jet at fuel nozzle inside carb. First find bit that fits current hole then carefully drill it to the next size larger. You may need to do this 2 maybe 3 times to smooth it out but don't overdo it. After making sure carb isn't just dirty I usually start with the air jet on top.sometimes that's all it takes
