I have a Lowes MTD with a 14 hp Briggs OHV engine. It starts very hard while backfiring out the carb. After I get it started, it runs good. I assume the valves are out of adjustment. I haven't been able to find a manuel locally. I need instructions on checking and adjusting the valves. If there are any other ideas about this problem, I would appreciate hearing them!

Has it done this since you started it this spring?It sounds like your intake valve is sticking in the guide.They get varnish on them from old gas.Try shooting some WD40 in the carb,The engine will run on it,and it should clean of anything causing the valve to stick.

If what Ross said doesn't work try taking out both valves and grinding them down to were theirs a gage of 10 in between them.
