You can adjust the valves on your 17 horsepower Briggs and Stratton engine by turning the adjustment screws. The adjustments screws will determine how much fuel goes into the piston chamber.

check to see if it is getting spark . you probably have the "kill mechanism " installed wrong . It's probably grounding out the ignition system. The "kill mechanism" is the cable operated mechanism that goes from the handle with a cable to the pull start housing . Its either improperly installed or out of adjustment.
Briggs & Stratton small air cooled engines use SAE30 weight oil or SAE 10w30 if they will be operated in cold conditions. I highly recommend you use Synthetic oil in any air cooled engine.
