Cost of installling new cam in B&S 18.5 HP Intek on Craftsman Rider
What should the charges be to replace a cam in a B&S Intek 18.5 HP powering a Craftsman rider ?? The starter wont turn the engine over. I am hoping it is just a valve adjustment however lately I have been reading on this forum where the lobe on the cam has been found to be worn on this engine.

I think it's the intake valve on those engines that has the release.

I agree, if it hasn't had the valves adjusted yearly, then that's most likely the problem. A worn cam will exhibit other problems. Usually a cam swap on that engine runs around $250 at my shop.
