[QUOTE="billt, post: 3489104, member: 5188"] Just some food for thought. One thing I always do with all of these single cylinder, overhead valve engines. Be it my Westinghouse Generators, or my Kohler powered pressure washer. Is after I shut them down, I always lightly pull on the recoil starter until I feel compression. What this does is make sure both the intake and exhaust valves are closed. (Engine on the compression stroke). This relaxes both valve springs. If your storing the unit for several weeks or months, it help keeps the valve lash from going out of whack over time. If you run the engine daily, or even weekly you don't have to bother. I always do because I've gotten into the habit. [/QUOTE]
