Why doesn’t Briggs publish the all important MAX TORQUE?
Only Briggs knows that )
Thanks for details on B&S 44p777
Searched for 15 minutes looking for correct valve lash adjustment spec.
Thanks for publishing straight forward onfo
I see B&S says .004-.006 in. both valves. My mechanic says .004 intake & .009 exhaust since it expands from the heat more than the intake. Sounds logical.
