LPG / NG Engines - Valve clearance must be checked after every 100 hours of operation. Adjust if necessary. SPARK PLUG SERVICE - SEE FIGURE WARNING 9 DO NOT check for spark with spark plug removed. · If engine is flooded, place throttle in FAST and crank until engine starts. · The electrodes on the spark plug must be clean and sharp to produce the powerful spark required for ignition.

If this engine was originally equipped with resistor spark plug, use same type of spark plug for replacement. 5 SPECIFICATIONS Model 290000 & 300000 Bore . 0. 76 mm (0. 030 in. ) Valve clearance with valve springs installed and piston 6 mm past top dead center (check when engine is cold). 0. 10-0. 15 mm (0. 004-0. 006 in. ) Note: Engine power will decrease 3-1/2% for each 1, 000 feet (300 meters) above sea level and 1% for each 10_ F (5. 6_ C) above 77_F (25_ C). Refer to the equipment operator manual for safe allowable operating limits on slopes. STORAGE Engines stored over 30 days need to be protected or drained of fuel to prevent gum from forming in fuel system or on essential carburetor parts. For engine protection, we recommend use of Briggs & Stratton Fuel Stabilizer available from an Authorized Briggs & Stratton Service Dealer. Run engine for a short time to circulate stabilizer through carburetor. Note: If stabilizer is not used or if engine is operating on gasoline containing alcohol, e. g. gasohol, remove all fuel from tank and run engine until it stops from lack of fuel. Remove spark plug and pour about 30 ml (1 oz) of engine oil into cylinder. Clean chaff and debris from cylinder and cylinder head fins, under finger guard and behind muffler. [. . . ] Similarly, warranty is void if the serial number of the engine has been removed or the engine has been altered or modified. If a customer differs with the decision of the Service Dealer, an investigation will be made to determine whether the warranty applies. Ask the Service Dealer to submit all supporting facts to his Distributor or the Factory for review. If the Distributor or the Factory decides that the claim is justified, the customer will be fully reimbursed for those items that are defective. [. . . ]
