13 hp Kohler
I have a mower with a 13hp kohler engine, the engine will not turn over completely, like its compression locking, I removed the valve cover and if I put the right amount of tension on the exhaust valve it will start, also if I pump on the exhaust valve a few times, then try it, it will spin over and crank, seems like the cam compression relief is sticking, I checked the push rods and they look straight, not really sure wanted to see if someone has had this problem before I tear into the engine.
