The Common Briggs Intek Problem: Your Riding Mower Won't Start. Broken Compression Release on Cam

  • So, why won't your riding mower turn over? I'll show you how to first diagnose this common Briggs & Stratton Intek camshaft decompression (also called compression release) issue, explain how the decompression cam works and the easy steps to repair it.
    When this decompression / compression release part breaks, the symptom is pretty much identical to a weak battery or bad starter - the engine tries, but won't turn over.
    What happens now is many people will replace the battery first, then the starter and perhaps even the starter solenoid; only to find out $200+ dollars later, their riding mower Intek engine still refuses to turn over. Welcome to the popular & growing club of Briggs Intek owners who have had a decompression camshaft failure.

    T-Bone, I’ve watched a lot of videos showing how to replace a Briggs camshaft and adjust the valves. YOURS IS THE ONLY ONE I’M SAVING! Thank you.

    T-Bone, I’ve been doing small engine repairs for over 25 years and actually teach students so the knowledge is passed on…. But let me tell you, your video is going into my classroom as it covers this procedure beautifully, with simplicity and with humor. Well done brother!

    This mechanic is so good and has so much experience that when he sets valve clearances, he knows how to adjust them without without using a whole series of different size feeler gages. A novice should never follow suit until he has at least ten years of experience doing it. T-bone
    Probably has more like 30 years of experience. And that's why he makes it look so easy. So if you have only done this one or two times, My advice is using a couple of different size feeler gauges. Don't be fooled by T-bone's humility and expertise. He's making everything look easy, Believe me. And, the tricks he shows along the ways are invaluable. Thanks again for another great repair!!! 👍👍👍

    Mr. T-bone I must say I do get a kick out of your videos. I love learning, but I laugh a lot at the way you present the information. So here's a trivia question for you if a motor doesn't have your typical spirograph oil pump. How does oil get slung on the inside to all the critical parts? Is it just momentum? Thanks for the education and the entertainment.😅

    One of mine has the same issue. It was given to me as a parts machine because the owner said the engine was locked up. I quickly figured out that it was a compression issue by the way it was acting. I did a valve adjustment on it, and it fired up and ran great. I used it for a couple of months with no issue, then it was parked for about 2 months. When I came back to start it, it was doing the same thing again. This mower has a bad deck, so I haven't torn into it yet. I recently found a donor mower, so I am going to start tearing it down when my two current projects are finished. I'm thinking the camshaft is probably the issue. It has a Failtek.

    you put on dry. Do they come from the factory totally dry or do they have any kind of oil/sealer on them?....would it be a good idea to pre-lube the gaskets?
    TIA.... 🙂

    Removing the engine, cracking the case open, and installing a new camshaft is not an easy fix (because compression release broke). It rarely happens and is usually out of spec valve clearance as the cause.

Now I know you didnt ask for my opinion ,we all know the old one about opinions.But bro, that lame ass corny ,hook ass tune about TJ and the mower?? Come on bro. That was just painful.Domt know who wrote it or performedm it. Dont care.Its LAME.Worse than Jerry Reed's Smokey and the Bandit. Maybe its just ME? maybe oyher folks Dig listening to cookie cutter music. If so I aplologise to the entire audience. you know your stuff with the engines..But please give us a heads up whrn you start the amateur hour musical torture.so i know to hit the mute. I wish I knew half as much as you about turning wrenches. Thats probably the biggest compliment i could ever give
