On a 5HP Briggs and Stratton engine, timing marks are typically found on the flywheel and the engine block. Look for a notch or a mark on the flywheel, which aligns with a corresponding mark on the engine block when the piston is at top dead center (TDC). These marks help ensure proper timing during assembly or maintenance. Always refer to the specific engine model's service manual for detailed guidance.

To adjust the overhead valve on a 5hp Briggs and Stratton engine, first, ensure the engine is off and cool. Remove the valve cover and use a feeler gauge to check the clearance between the valve stem and rocker arm; it should typically be around 0.003 to 0.005 inches for intake and exhaust. If adjustment is needed, loosen the lock nut on the rocker arm, turn the adjusting screw to achieve the correct clearance, and then re-tighten the lock nut. Finally, reassemble the valve cover and start the engine to check for proper operation.
The most common reason for a carburetor not to receive fuel is a plugged fuel line. The fuel filter can also be plugged.
