This is my first posting in a long time since I am down to a 129 and 2 149's and a zero turn Cub Cadet. Back problems and old age have taken its toll.
My problem is the 129 with a trac vac. I blew a head gasket earlier and when I pulled the head, I discovered a burnt valve. I replaced both of them, adjusted the valves, torqued the head and reassembled. Now, when I try to start, it will lock up on the compression stroke. I can "bump"
the starter and it will turn to the next mpression stroke and lock up again. The battery and starter are new and I have rechecked everything except the valve settings, which I will do as soon as I get a warmer day and feel like pulling the head again. Is there anything else I can check? Thanks
