Title: 12.5 tecumseh
Post by: Stomper on August 06, 2011, 07:44:34 PM

This has nothing to do with minibuggies, unless I pimp it out big time:D. But I just changed the head gasket on my riding lawn mower, 12.5 hp tecumseh,  and for got to take note how the valves were set. Does anyone know how to do this.[smilie=alright.gif]

OHV or not?  If not, don't worry about it.  If it is OHV then general specs are something like .005 intake and .007 exhaust, but you should look up your engine to be sure.

Sorry, yes OHV. Where do I look this info up. Is there a website that will tell me. I am assuming that these adjustments will have to made with the piston at top dead center. Right.
