To adjust the valves on a 17.5 Tecumseh engine, first, ensure the engine is cold and remove the spark plug. Then, locate the valve cover and remove it to access the valves. Using a feeler gauge, set the intake and exhaust valve clearances to the manufacturer's specifications, typically around 0.005 to 0.007 inches for intake and 0.007 to 0.009 inches for exhaust. Finally, reassemble the valve cover and spark plug before starting the engine to check for proper operation.

How do you adjust the valves on a 6hp Tecumseh?

To adjust the valves on a 6hp Tecumseh engine, start by removing the cylinder head to access the valves. Rotate the engine to bring the piston to top dead center (TDC) on the compression stroke. Use a feeler gauge to check the clearance between the rocker arm and the valve stem; it should typically be around 0.004 to 0.006 inches for intake and 0.006 to 0.008 inches for exhaust. If adjustments are needed, loosen the lock nut on the rocker arm and turn the adjustment screw to achieve the correct clearance, then re-tighten the lock nut.
