Hi,
I had some trouble starting my Kohler courage 15 engine.
i figured it was valves or the ACR so pulled valve cover off and adjusted the valves, one was quite loose. after adjusting i didn't have a torque wrench that went low enough for the torx grub screw so i done it by hand and must of overtightened them
after running it for a few minutes the nuts let go it started to run like [censored] so turned it off asap
got some new nuts put them in, tightened to torque.
stills a little hard to start and it has this very light rattle 1 in every 4 strokes and seems to miss every so often.
could i of bent a push rod or some some other damage?
when spinning it over by hand it does get a little tight and makes a weird 'pfffft' noise out the intake then frees up again until the next intake cycle
what should i be looking at? any ideas?
i will take the valve cover off and look at the push rods most probably intake if it is but other than that i have no idea.
i know enough to get me in trouble ^ haven't really worked on any 4 strokes, before played around with a few 2 strokes.
